unrequited love Lyrics
So write it down in lover's blood
There's gotta be a better way to break this spell
Send out a search party
Have you forgot how to love or how to die
I see the crosses behind your eyes
When will the fire burn out
Is it after we've covered our tracks
I'm not going to stay to find out
He never asked for much
If the fire burns out will it ever light up again
It's been so long since I've seen your eyes this cold
When did you let them step in
When did you let them take control
So sound the alarm
There's gotta be a better way to break this spell
Tell the whole world that I left without his love
At the chiming of the bells
I've been dreaming of elaborate schemes
Thought the love was good for a while
It's been much easier to leave
I've got a new life now
This couldn't have come at a worse time
I guess you had to find out about this
Unrequited love that I deny
You say you fell out of love
Well I call this abandonment
There's gotta be a better way to break this spell
Send out a search party
Have you forgot how to love or how to die
I see the crosses behind your eyes
When will the fire burn out
Is it after we've covered our tracks
I'm not going to stay to find out
He never asked for much
If the fire burns out will it ever light up again
It's been so long since I've seen your eyes this cold
When did you let them step in
When did you let them take control
So sound the alarm
There's gotta be a better way to break this spell
Tell the whole world that I left without his love
At the chiming of the bells
I've been dreaming of elaborate schemes
Thought the love was good for a while
It's been much easier to leave
I've got a new life now
This couldn't have come at a worse time
I guess you had to find out about this
Unrequited love that I deny
You say you fell out of love
Well I call this abandonment

this sounds a lot like underoath not saying its a ripoff well the firts part of the song i cant understand much but i feel that its about falling out of love and in the end it clearly says:
Well I call this abandonment
Easy to figure what this part of the song is about
I can understand how you can think it sounds like underoath....it kinda has that "its dangerous buisness" intro and feel through out the song. then the slow melodic part reminds me of "drowning in your sleep"....then when "Glass Shatters And Comes To A Halt" reminds me of " I CALL THIS ABANDONMENT"
As for the meaning of the song, i dont really know. It could be about a couples break up. it could be about someone leaving their faith. it could be both. Does anyone else know?
under oath feel only not as good. but good enough for me. As for the meaning of the song ....who gives a shit it's good like penut butter
I went through this stage with my boyfriend and i felt like God put this song in my life. My boyfriend broke up with me and i was depressed for the longest time, it happend before but he would always come back i thought this was the end.
When he says "If the fire burns out will it ever light up again" to me that means if u leave will u ever come back. "I'm not going to stay to find out" im not gonna wait anymore "I've got a new life now" i moved on "This couldn't have come at a worse time" you waited too long
this is just my interpretation, what it means to me
in case u were wondering me n my boyfriend are back together and we dont fight anymore because i finally put all my trust in God.
This song is intense. To me this song has been a huge accountability to me in my personal relationship with my Lord and Savior. I'm not sure if that was the original intention. Anything you were thinking before it starts playing is immediately destroyed... it hits on so many levels. All I can say is thank you CV.
I have to agree with all of you, they do sound A LOT like underoath. I guess that's why I like them
OK so these lyrics were also under The Night Your Guadian Fell Asleep...so if you want to see my thoughts on this song...go to The Night Your Guardian Fell Asleep....it's the first one of mine that like on the post starts out with like 'this is So confussing' or w/e so yeah
chasing victory has the perfect mix of lyrical talent, and music talent. ..and i dont think they sound like underoath at all. but that is just me. and this song is definitely about a questionable break up " if the fire burns out will it ever light up again?" that "couldnt have come at a worse time"...unrequited means " not returned" so maybe there were still feelings on one half of it but it never worked out so they got tired of waiting " i'm not going to stay to find out" and so moved on and " got a new life now " . . . . i dunno, that is what it said to me.
I think this song is about someone who has falle naways from God.. their eyes have turned cold... God has soo much love for us that we could never even began to love him that much in return.. That is what "unrequited" means. Well this person abandoned Gods love when he,"let them step in" So, "sound the alarm" because this song is beautiful...and it's raw rock kills...
definitely my favorite CV song. by far. "if the fire burns out will it ever light up again?" that is like the most amazing line in a song ever. i love it so freakin much.
