The Last Three Letters

I think this song is meant to represent a suicide note.

A relationship that has gone wrong, and the person cant take it, so they result in cutting themselves:

"cold scalpel's steel whispers tear at my very core as I cling to my memories of you".

This song is three letters two people are sending back and forth to each other. But the other doesnt get any back. And hes getting mad, and worried. The reason is the other is in the hospital. And dying. So he never gets a returned letter.

i think there is a missing line where the two voices are talking… i think it goes like this "I don't know what happened...who would have thought my life would end up like this? i never even got the to see her naked, or to touch her hair, and now its to late I didn't mean to hurt her, not hurt her like this…I can't feel my legs I can't feel my legs and I can't even cry…how could somebody die like this? who would have thought my life would end up like this?" idk i could be rong… what do people think??

yeah that's right spike...

but I've seen them twice and when it got to that part they didn't actually say that it's just on the cd... hmm

yeah spikey your right he says that in like a whisper.

When I first heard this song, unable to figure out the screamed parts, I thought this was a spiteful song about a lover scorned by a girl who never writes him back.

I'm actually kind of sad now knowing that it's much different.

haha. its not "i never got to see her naked." this is what the guys are saying.

Shawn: "Make it stop. Make the pounding in my head stop! Fill my lungs with air. Give me one more day to make her dreams come true. She understands, right? That I'm not coming back? SHE UNDERSTANDS, RIGHT?! Make it stop! MAKE THE POUNDING STOP! I'm not coming back! I'm not coming back! I'm not coming back."

and Dennis is saying, "I don't know what happened. No one thought my life would end up like this. I never got the chance to see her FACE, or to touch her hair, and now, it's too late. I never meant to hurt her... never hurt her like this. I can't feel my legs. I can't feel my legs and I can't even cry. How could someone die like this? No one else thought my life would end up like this."

and i think this is one of those cliche songs about being on the road and missing some of them, even though alesana is original makes me love love love this song :]

wtf some of them? SOMEONE*. haha.

Most of this CD (if not all of it) is inspired from Greek Mythology. Paris was a character in the Illiad (The Trojan War), Ambrosia was the daughter of the famous King Midas... Now I'm guessing that this has something to do with greek mythology, seeing as they don't take the whole story but just small segments... If you look up the story of Hero and Leander, you will see that the song makes absolute sense with the story. Obviously I hope you all realized that the album's title itself reveals what the whole album is about (On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax refers to the flight of Icarus...once again look it up, it's long.)

For those who want to look up the story of Hero And Leander, I found a wiki page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_and_Leander

With a little bit of patience and reading the lyrics, you can figure out which song is which myth ;)

this song talks about two people that love each other except one is at the hospital and is dying because he say "how could someone die like this" he cannot write back to her so she does not what to do.

she believes that he doesn't love her anymore so she starts to cut her self because she sings "cold scalpel's steel whispers tear at my very core as I cling to my memories of you... "
