My Sanity on the Funeral Pyre Lyrics
Paranoia
is the insect
worming its way
throught my subconscious thoughts.
It's the larva
of my self doubt
gestating in my heart
as I spiral down
And everything i touch is breaking
and it falls to the earth in splinters
and i shiver
as every splinter finds it's way
underneath my skin
and after 22 years
i can still make my skin crawl
Every shortcoming, a pitfall
On my way
to makin amends
within myself
to be, to be what i became
Sometimes it feels like the whole wide world has made itself
my enemy
but i will stand upon my own two feet and raise, raise my head up
I lick my wounds
trying to cleanse the infection
rabid and diseased
reality, fades away
When i pushed myself
too far,
a dream of emotional perfections
has left a wounded heart
trying to perceive
the gifts inherent inside me,
it's like squeezing the trigger,
it's like opening fire
on everyone
who's let me down,
on every beautiful lie
that is, that is only fiction
Sometimes it feels like the whole wide world has made itself
my enemy
but i will stand upon my own two feet and raise, raise my head up
For the first time
I'm losing control
and i like it
freedom feels like the noose is gone
For the first time
I'm losing control
and i like it
freedom feels like the noose is gone
is the insect
worming its way
throught my subconscious thoughts.
It's the larva
of my self doubt
gestating in my heart
as I spiral down
and it falls to the earth in splinters
and i shiver
as every splinter finds it's way
underneath my skin
and after 22 years
i can still make my skin crawl
Every shortcoming, a pitfall
to makin amends
within myself
to be, to be what i became
my enemy
but i will stand upon my own two feet and raise, raise my head up
trying to cleanse the infection
rabid and diseased
reality, fades away
too far,
a dream of emotional perfections
has left a wounded heart
trying to perceive
the gifts inherent inside me,
it's like squeezing the trigger,
it's like opening fire
who's let me down,
on every beautiful lie
that is, that is only fiction
my enemy
but i will stand upon my own two feet and raise, raise my head up
I'm losing control
and i like it
freedom feels like the noose is gone
I'm losing control
and i like it
freedom feels like the noose is gone

Yet another awesome song by Atreyu.
one of the best songs on the cd....atreyus music is extrorinary or however its spelle dhaha
Atreyu is life.
this song kicks @§§ soo much, to me it is about a man who had to forgive himself for ... himself because of life.. and how he is letting go of life and the freedom is like the world being lifted from his shoulders, im weird though hee hee
i think its about a guy where everything he does goes wrong in every aspect, but thats not going to stop him or bring him down cuz he knows there will be a time where he is happy, where the "noose" of bad luck will be gone
This song is about Paranoia, and when he says "freedom feels like the noose is gone", he is refering to paranoia as the noose.
It's like a struggle people go thorugh in order to live life, it either treats you well or badly, it seems the character inthe song has had a bad life and seems to be the cause of his own pain... but the pain is paranoia 'Sometimes it feels like the whole wide world has made itself my enemy' the world isn't literally his enemy, but what has become of him has led him to believe this.
wow how can anyone understand what this guy says
We can't, that's why we come look up the lyrics here.

I think this song is about a man trying so hard to make things how he wants but only finding failure in his attempts. It seems like everything he tries to do only makes things worse. He finds that when he just lets everything go how it will go, he is free from the struggle of perfecting something that will never be perfect.
It's about struggling with paranoia, feeling like you're the cause of all your own problems, and wanting to be rid of it all through the use of violence.
kickass song at that
