Sweat drips in my eyes
Screams of lust we cry tonight
You are everything to me
You're everything
You're everything to me
No more as I wake from this perfect dream
I'll escape from Eden's walls
I can not stay and live this lie
For I must think only of myself
And to think that you would not be scared or surprised
If I severed all these ties
This is the end
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful
Illusions broken, pieces will not mend
To save our past, now it has come to this
One last kiss
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
Now we must let go
Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
In my mind blood rips from your eyes
A beautiful last goodbye
Screams of lust we cry tonight
You are everything to me
You're everything
No more as I wake from this perfect dream
I'll escape from Eden's walls
I can not stay and live this lie
For I must think only of myself
If I severed all these ties
This is the end
Help me get over you
Illusions broken, pieces will not mend
To save our past, now it has come to this
One last kiss
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
A beautiful last goodbye

I love this song its so awesome i just love alesana PERIOD!!!!<3
Ok so this song is REALLY deep. I think what it's about is a guy who recently had a break up with his girlfriend. He still loves her and in the beginning where it's apparent they're 'doin the dirty,' (sweat drips in my eyes, screams of lust we cry) I think he's just dreaming about this. I realised that because he sings "as I wake from this perfect dream," and it's so perfect to him because she was the best thing in his life. When he wakes up, he wants to "sever all these ties" and despite thinking he has done so, he still realises she is still alive. So I think in the end, he dreams about, or contemplates killing his ex girlfriend to 'sever that last tie' if you will. Hence "in my mind, blood drips from your eyes. A beautiful last goodbye." Throughout the song, it seems his emotions go from a passionate love for this girl, the a burning hate for her, because of the way she torments his mind.
why hasnt anyone posted on these? this is an amazing band with wikd vocal range and the lyrics are so out of and rare i love this band truly truly do
Anyone who says alesana sucks is a fuckin cunt!
Alesana is like friggin life!
So all you kids that hate alesana START SUCKING
I think that this song is about a dude who cheats on his partner and engages in sexual intercourse hence " Sweat drips in my eyes (talking about the sweat from the activity taking place.)
Screams of lust we cry (Lust, come on people you know what that means, theyre moaning) Tonight you are everything (He is also concerned about her pleasure) You’re everything You’re everything to me no more As I wake from this perfect dream I’ll escape from Eden’s walls Can I not stay and live this lie? (After he is done, he realizes the bad thing he's done) Go away and I’ll think only of myself (He needs time to think of what he is going to tell his girlfriend)
"Help me get over you" (also means he still loves the girl he cheated with but he knows they cant be together so he is apologizing for hurting her deeply)

Hmm, Yeah. I agree with Water wings, and "ilalesana" You obviously one of the dumbest motherfuckers on the place of the plant. Gtfo, these songs are about Greek Myths your totally right! But uhmm, you don't think that intercourse happened during those Myths? Put some thought into shit before you go off bashing on people you prick. Other then that, I love Alesana, and I love this song. Fa sho fa sho xD Hehe

ilalesana: The version in 'On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax' was a remake from their ealier EP so it isn't neccessarily about Greek mythology.

overtheriver, the only differance between the two CD's are that on the newer one they added the last two tracks on the CD. the first one was still called 'on frail wings of vanity and wax' im not saying that your wrong, but im not saying your right either. when you think of it, Icarus, ambrosia, daggers speak louder then words, third temptations of paris, siren's soliloquy, nero's decay and some other ose are all about grrek myths and ledgends. so this one might bee as well

No need to answer my last comment, it's "not just from your eyes,' I figured that out.
Water_wings, lust doesn't necessarily mean sexual lust. Sweat does not always refer to sex or sweat could be a metaphor meaning tears. And later he says "You're everything to me no more" so I don't think he was concerned about her pleasure. Other than that, it's a good theory.
I think this song is actually about a relationship of lies... Simply for the reason that he talks of a 'false apology' See, if he really did feel bad about something, it wouldn't be a false apology, I don't think. So, if you break it down keeping that in mind, the relationship had a lot of lies in it. I think with the "And to think that you would not be scared or surprised if I’d severed all these ties" its him thinking she doesn't love him. Hence, why she wouldn't care at all if it ended. And, I think he refers to lust as the relationship. There are two types of relationships, ones that develop off lust, and ones that develop of compatibility. I think that the screams of lust are saying they lusted for each other in the beginning and now that they aren't lusting anymore, they are arguing all the time. The lust also goes with the "Tonight, you're everything... you're everything to me no more." Because she was everything, and then all of a sudden no more, because the lust ran out. I think it also refers to lust in the lines "I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions" and "I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again" At first, she was beautiful due to lust, but afterwards, he realized it was his mind playing tricks on him and making her better than she is. And, lastly, I think the chorus is referring to him not being sad. Because, him losing himself in anguish and needing help to get over her... I think its kind of like "I'm sorry, I'm sad this is happening, too..." but its a false apology...
So, I think it all boils down to a lustful, dishonest relationship that is ending.
Sorry I said lust so much. =/
this song is about how the couple doesnt have anything more than sex. when they have sex, it brings them close to each other. outside of it, they have nothing, and everything is a lie
then he breaks up with her because he knows its not real love
idk thats my opinion
good explanation bennie :D
i like the acoustic version of this song better.
