Dead Dreams Lyrics

Kill the lights
Im so sick of your face
Another nigth wasted wishing you away
Now im cut, im cut at the wrists
but i still cant kill the pain
Id give anything to rip you from my head
From my head
The return of your voice marks another failure
And i can feel your blades closing on my back
Ill savour this one last taste, this taste of sanity
As it clutches, tearing at my heart
This is my final act of desperation
One lost second gives way to disease
Id give anything to rip you fro my head
Cause i can feel you
Creeping through me
Like a sickness
Your weakness
Scars your ****ing face
Scares your name
The return of your voice
Marks another failure
And i can feel your blades
Closing on my back
As light fades to past
Darkness wells against me
But my shattered eyelids
Refuse to close
Your breathe is death to me

IMO this song is about being Straight Edge, and beating addiction "Ill savour this one last taste, this taste of sanity" represents the "last taste" of the addiction, and trying to stem the craving

"One lost second gives way to disease" is a merely anti-drug statement, refering to drugs as a disease

"Id give anything to rip you from my head" again is about trying to beat a relentless need for something.

just my opinions. feelfree to rip them to pieces. and have a go at Staright Edge lifestyle if you want to be pathetic about it, not that im suggestin people on here are pathetic. just talking from experiance if you do, im not Edge, so wont be offended.

joespeakPWD I don't get it.

Nah . .I'm just being an idiot. Good interpretation there. & your opinions are respected, no one has a right to bash down anyone's freedom of speech buddy. (with the exception of evil & corrupt thinking i.e. lol)

Plus it'll be a boring & meaningless world if we all thought the same x(

& nothing wrong with being straight edge . .I wouldn't say say i live by a straight edge lifestyle . . but I sure as hell don't need to be wasted to have a good time. Being wasted with drugs is overrated. Plus it kills your brain cells. Happy drunk or sober fest everyone!!! Whatever rings your bell. =P

I think its about someone who is doing things behind another person's back. However the backstabber hasn't realised that the other person knows. Now that the person knows, he/she feels like they can't love the backstabber anymore, so they just want to start a new life without them, but can't bring themselves to do so.

To me, it's a song about a failed relationship and Winston's reaction after the fact.

Kill the lights Im so sick of your face Another nigth wasted wishing you away Now im cut, im cut at the wrists but i still cant kill the pain

  • To me, this is him being tormented by her. He sees her (perhaps in a room, which is where the "kill the lights" line came from) and he's tired of running into her. Another night now will be spent trying to stop thinking of her. So, he cuts his wrists, but the emotional pain blocks out the physical pain.

Id give anything to rip you from my head From my head The return of your voice marks another failure And i can feel your blades closing on my back Ill savour this one last taste, this taste of sanity As it clutches, tearing at my heart This is my final act of desperation

  • He's desperate to get her out of his head. When he hears her voice, it only deepens his thoughts of her, causing his attempts at forgetting her to fail. He can still feel the betrayal that she put on him. Then, perhaps thoughts of suicide in the last couple lines?

One lost second gives way to disease Id give anything to rip you fro my head Cause i can feel you Creeping through me Like a sickness Your weakness Scars your ****ing face Scares your name

  • One lost second, to me, is him remembering the initial break up. Perhaps an argument where he didn't say the right thing or didn't say anything at all, and that is what caused it. Thoughts of her still creep through his entire being, like a sickness. Her weakness in how easy she gave up destroys her beauty (scars your fucking face) and her reputation (scares your name) with her.

As light fades to past Darkness wells against me But my shattered eyelids Refuse to close Your breathe is death to me

  • As the memories of her fade to the past once again, he's left in darkness. Although he has forgotten her, he doesn't know where to go. Her life itself, though, is dead to him. He doesn't care for her anymore.

That's just my take anyway.

Excellent interpretation! "Her life itself, though, is dead to him. He doesn't care for her anymore." Well, isn't that special (taken from a Saturday Night routine:) Send me a message and we can discuss music. I'll have my own interpretation to provide.
