My Assassin Lyrics
the sky blistered red, shots ring overhead
i'm scaling walls that the soldiers built to muffle out your screams
the message was mislacted, misconveyed, incinerated
in the wake of war, just listen for the flood
the arthritis in us all is choking me out
it's spilling me.
maybe you could finally be the one who reaches in and saves me from the flood
collapse, this is our last chance, there's no time for relapse
just listen for the flood
if not us, can i just save you?
can't you hear the bombs are calling all our old habits their own?
a sniper patiently awaiting me in every catacomb, are you scared girl?
won't you be my assassin?
hunted down for the last time and carried you home.
the arthritis in us all is choking me out
it's spilling me.
maybe you could finally be the one who reaches in and saves me from the flood
collapse, this is our last chance, there's no time for relapse
just listen for the flood
if not us, can i just save you?
bring on the love, cause here comes the flood.
bring on the love, cause here it comes.
we must have been seduced by the calm of the isle as we tied our wrists
our wrists too tight in the shallow
maybe you could finally be the one who reaches in and saves me from the flood
collapse, this is our last chance, there's no time for relapse now
just listen for the flood
if not us, can i just save you?
i'm scaling walls that the soldiers built to muffle out your screams
the message was mislacted, misconveyed, incinerated
in the wake of war, just listen for the flood
it's spilling me.
collapse, this is our last chance, there's no time for relapse
just listen for the flood
if not us, can i just save you?
a sniper patiently awaiting me in every catacomb, are you scared girl?
won't you be my assassin?
hunted down for the last time and carried you home.
it's spilling me.
collapse, this is our last chance, there's no time for relapse
just listen for the flood
if not us, can i just save you?
bring on the love, cause here it comes.
our wrists too tight in the shallow
collapse, this is our last chance, there's no time for relapse now
just listen for the flood
if not us, can i just save you?

sweet. im the first to comment on this song. yeah well i kinda think this song is about war. yeah its kinda obvious in the lyrics. lol. yeah i dont got lots to say. but i think this song kicks ass.
im not sure what the lyrics could mean. probably something to do with war like stated above. but i dont know.
I don't think it is about war- I think it is about being saved by someone. Hence the "maybe you could finally be the one who reaches in and saves me from the flood" The war references could be a metaphor for something deeper, I don't know what, but I don't think it is something as blantant as war.
Man, I really want to know what he shouts out after the first chorus.
someone who can scream/sing as well as james does in this song deserves ultimate respect in my opinion. the vocals alone are so talented.
i agree that the war thing is a metaphor. most likely to do with a relationship i rate.
i dunno. any one got a better idea?
war is pretty deep if you ask me. but the bled writes everything in metaphors so it most likely is.
The war here is a metaphor for a personal war.... he was alone for a long time, felt empty.. and then he found this girl and she makes him feel like finally someone can save him from emptiness.. it's like a flood [[depression/emptiness]] that's coming to swallow him but the girl has the powers to save him.
The bled is fantastic, wow James is just a beast. There lyrics are soo incredible.
360degrees At the end of the first chorus james screams "I must have been seduced by the calm of"
Lyrics:
I'm 110% sure it's
"The message was dislocated, misconveyed, incinerated."
Interpretation:
I think forever_haunted pretty much said it.
The only part that threw me off was
"we must have been seduced by the calm of the isle as we tied our wrists our wrists too tight in the shallow"
Anyone have an interpretation for that?
