The Suffering Lyrics
Is there a word or right to say
Even in this old fashioned way?
Go make your move, girl
I'm not coming home
Would things have changed if I could've stayed?
Would you have loved me either way?
Dressed to the blues.
Day to day with my collar up.
Decision sits so make it quick
A breath inhaled from an air so sick
I cursed the day I had learned
Of the web you spun...
You had your hold till bleeding
Hey, Hey!
If it was up to me
I would've figured you out
Way before the year clocked out
Oh, I hope you're waiting
Hey, Hey!
If it was up to me
I would've never walked out
So until the sun burns out
Oh, I hope you're waiting
Would we have lived as a child would care?
With this vial to drink I dare
(Oh where have you been, oh where have you been)
Only to cry all alone with your taste on tongue
(Oh where have you been if it hurts to be forgiving? Bye)
Should we try this again with hope? (Bye, bye)
Or is it lost, give up the ghost
And should I die all alone as I knew I would...
Then burn in hell young sinner
Hey, Hey! (Ha ha)
If it was up to me
I would've figured you out
Way before the year clocked out
Oh, I hope you're waiting
Oh, I hope you're waiting
Listen well... will you marry me?
Not now, Boy
Are you well in the Suffering?
You've been the most gracious of hosts
You may be invited, girl, but you're not coming in
Listen well... will you marry me?
Not now, Boy
Are you well in the Suffering?
You've been the most gracious of hosts
I may be invited, girl, but I'm not coming in
Hey, Hey!
If it was up to me (you had your hold)
I would've figured you out
Way before the year clocked out
Oh, I hope you're waiting
Hey, Hey!
If it was up to me (give up the ghost)
I would've never walked out (Oh where have you been, oh where have you been)
So until the sun burns out (Oh where have you been if it hurts to be forgiving?)
Oh, I hope you're waiting
Listen well... will you marry me?
Not now, Boy
Are you well in the Suffering?
You've been the most gracious of hosts
You may be invited, girl, but you're not coming in
Listen well... will you marry me?
Not now, Boy
Are you well in the Suffering?
You've been the most gracious of hosts
I may be invited, girl, but I'm not coming in
Listen well... will you marry me?
Not now, Boy
Are you well in the Suffering?
You've been the most gracious of hosts
You may be invited, girl, but you're not coming in
Listen well... will you marry me?
Not now, Boy
Are you well in the Suffering?
You've been the most gracious of hosts
I may be invited, girl, but I'm not coming in
And you're not coming in
Even in this old fashioned way?
Go make your move, girl
I'm not coming home
Would you have loved me either way?
Dressed to the blues.
Day to day with my collar up.
A breath inhaled from an air so sick
I cursed the day I had learned
Of the web you spun...
You had your hold till bleeding
If it was up to me
I would've figured you out
Way before the year clocked out
Oh, I hope you're waiting
If it was up to me
I would've never walked out
So until the sun burns out
Oh, I hope you're waiting
With this vial to drink I dare
(Oh where have you been, oh where have you been)
Only to cry all alone with your taste on tongue
(Oh where have you been if it hurts to be forgiving? Bye)
Or is it lost, give up the ghost
And should I die all alone as I knew I would...
Then burn in hell young sinner
If it was up to me
I would've figured you out
Way before the year clocked out
Oh, I hope you're waiting
Oh, I hope you're waiting
Not now, Boy
Are you well in the Suffering?
You've been the most gracious of hosts
You may be invited, girl, but you're not coming in
Not now, Boy
Are you well in the Suffering?
You've been the most gracious of hosts
I may be invited, girl, but I'm not coming in
If it was up to me (you had your hold)
I would've figured you out

Oh, I hope you're waiting
Not now, Boy
Are you well in the Suffering?
You've been the most gracious of hosts
You may be invited, girl, but you're not coming in
Not now, Boy
Are you well in the Suffering?
You've been the most gracious of hosts
I may be invited, girl, but I'm not coming in
Not now, Boy
Are you well in the Suffering?
You've been the most gracious of hosts
You may be invited, girl, but you're not coming in
Not now, Boy
Are you well in the Suffering?
You've been the most gracious of hosts
I may be invited, girl, but I'm not coming in
And you're not coming in

As Claudio S. explains, this is a climax for Writer’s instability. He dwells on his past with Erica so frequently, with such intensity, that it is all he can think about. At this point in the album and the graphic novel, he has already resolved to enter the story, do what needs to be done, and move on. Still, though, he thinks about his proposal (or desire to propose) to Erica. It is consuming his entire life.
i think this song is about Claudio asking Newo Ikkin to marry him, but she declines him due to cercumstances [possibly she likes/loves Al, or shes joined Al (i thought joining Al because of "Welcome Home" and Claudio returning to see Newo with Al (my theory))]. "Would we have lived as a child would care? With this vial to drink I dare"... do I sense some Romeo and Juliet sorta thing?
any of thoughts?
This is my idea of the meaning, could be wrong, but... IDK
Maybe it's time for you t move on cause I'm not coming back, but I think if I had stayed would it have worked It's up to you to make the choice
If it were up to me I wouldn't have left But I hope you still love me
Would we have been happy together in our love story If we try again will we be happy or will the love die
Listen, I love you Are you really okay without me? I'm glad we talked about this but my walls are still up
Yes. You win all of the internets.
Yes. You win all of the internets.
any other thoughts?
At this point, perhaps, Sinstar has much more control over Claudio's actions, and may feel Newo is the only way left for redemption.
At the point where he sings, "Listen well will you marry me..."
doesn't that sound a lot like the music and his voice on the last CD when singing, "Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops.."?
Yeah, I noticed too that it sounds like "pull the trigger and the nightmare stops."
What I don't get about this song is that most of it seems to be a rejection song, so what's up with the "listen well, will you marry me" part? One last desperate plea before he realizes it's never gonna work?
maybe trying to save his relationship, sounds possible. Yeah, the vocals sound like other songs. The "hey hey's" from Blood Red Summer, and Three Evils's hook of "pull the trigger and the nightmare stops/listen well, will you marry me and are you well in the suffering"
Also, is anyone else as excited for the 120 page graphic novel thats being released with the album? I love the comic's that have been slowly coming out, and a big book that tells the entire story of this album is going to be amazing.
tis awsome song. this one s very tricky to decifer
