This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I was alone wasting away, true son do not die.
I was the poison and you were the kiss.
Angel take a breath now.
This ghost inside you hurts,
And I never said goodbye...
Don't wake up [don't wake up]
There is a sickness in the roses that you hold.
Hold me and drown.
Unfortunate kiss, too close to see.
True son do not cry.
Fly away, this is war.
Angel, take a breath now.
This ghost inside you hurts,
And I never said goodbye...
Don't wake up [don't wake up]
There is a sickness in the roses that you hold.
Hold me and drown.
Don't wake up. [don't wake up]
There is a sickness in the roses that you hold.
Can you stay for awhile?
Take my hand, lets set ourselves on fire.
They say that love is war.
Pictures, light the dead, we don't need them anyway. [x2]
I can feel the headlights burning.
We descend as the glass stops breaking.
Angel, sweet angel,
Don't wake up [x4]
Don't wake up, there a sickness in the roses that you hold.
Hold me and drown.
Don't wake up [don't wake up]
There is a sickness in the roses that you hold.
Can you stay for awhile?
Take my hand, let's set ourselves on fire.
They say that love is war.
Let go, let go of winter.
I was the poison and you were the kiss.
Angel take a breath now.
This ghost inside you hurts,
And I never said goodbye...
Don't wake up [don't wake up]
There is a sickness in the roses that you hold.
Hold me and drown.
Unfortunate kiss, too close to see.
True son do not cry.
Fly away, this is war.
Angel, take a breath now.
This ghost inside you hurts,
And I never said goodbye...
Don't wake up [don't wake up]
There is a sickness in the roses that you hold.
Hold me and drown.
Don't wake up. [don't wake up]
There is a sickness in the roses that you hold.
Can you stay for awhile?
Take my hand, lets set ourselves on fire.
They say that love is war.
Pictures, light the dead, we don't need them anyway. [x2]
I can feel the headlights burning.
We descend as the glass stops breaking.
Angel, sweet angel,
Don't wake up [x4]
Don't wake up, there a sickness in the roses that you hold.
Hold me and drown.
Don't wake up [don't wake up]
There is a sickness in the roses that you hold.
Can you stay for awhile?
Take my hand, let's set ourselves on fire.
They say that love is war.
Let go, let go of winter.

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

so i'm totally afraid of this album. i fucking miss kerith and brian and ryan, but yeah!
seems okay so far. :D
the title of this song reminds me of 28 days later, when the dude's parents leave him a note - "With endless love, we left you sleeping. Now we're sleeping with you. Don't wake up. x"
badass opening for an album
It makes me never want to wake up... I just think it means that a girl dies or a guy is dying and tells the girl, don't wake up, let this reality be in your mind... We will be together there... Something like that. He's like "hold me and drown" Die with me... A soul mate's way of being together forever. bing... I got it lol. I think that's it...
