Dying Song Lyrics

I've seen you breathe life into the weakest of hearts
And heard you scream out loud the sweetest poem
Echoing across the ocean reminding me why I still try
To hold on to whatever is left of you and I

Shedding skin to a dying song
We hold on to the evening sun til we are no more
Little deaths to a dying song
Sound alot like life

I've seen these dreams being crushed by a single thought
And felt the envy and sadness engulf our warmth
Barely alive under eyes by exchanging signs
With tomorrow withering in our loneliest nights

Shedding skin to a dying song
We hold on to the evening sun til we are no more
Little deaths to a dying song
Sound alot like...

Life and Love
Life and Love
With you

Crawling to bid tomorrow is trembling at the sight of you and I

Shedding skin to a dying song
We hold on to the evening sun til we are no more
Little deaths to a dying song
Sound alot like...

Life and Love [4x]
With you [4x]

One phrase unlocks this song. For any of Ville's lyrics, you need to know that he is basically a Beaudelaire fanboy. He actually admits this in "Love the Hard Way."

The phrase in question is "Little Deaths." If you know any French and euphemisms for "orgasm" you will understand this. "La Petite Mort."

The entire song is about having sex all night and/or wanting your lover to stay in bed. That's it.

He also admits his affinity for Beaudelaire in "Funeral of Hearts."

"Flowers of evil in bloom."

the chorus is definitely about sex

Cover art for Dying Song lyrics by HIM

ok im not sure, but i think the lyircs are wrong,

in the chorus, i think its supposed to be

Sheddinng skin to a dying song We hum along to the evening song til we are no more We'll dance to a dying song sound a lot like

and then at the bridge, i think its

Crawl back into bed tomorrows trembling...

Just a thought, as for the meaning, i think the chorus does have to do with sex: shedding skin=taking off clothes ive got other ideas about it, but i dont really feel like typing that much.. great song though, tied for #1 off the whole album, for me at least anyone else got any ideas?

I'm with Keritheanimal about the correct lyrics...

About the meaning, I believe that the song is about the desire of being with someone you lost or let go or went away. Is about the feeling of missing that person, and the memories with her/him "sound a lot like life and love". Maybe the chorus is about sex too, it could be something like imagine to be passionately together remembering old times: "Shedding skin to a dying song"... I think that this is a song about miss someone or the moments with that someone when you're along and feel the need of being loved again...

My Opinion

To me, this song is about the ending of a relationship, where you know things are slowly falling apart but you're trying to pretend they aren't. "Little deaths to a dying song" is the whole song encompassed for me.
