You feed this disease
Which you shelter underneath the scars
And dream of bitter themes
Rendered helpless by those wicked charms
But please don't believe
When I say it's hard to breathe
Save me even as you break me
Every time you rape me
Leave me coming all undone
Praise me than turn your back and hate me
Every time you waste me
Keep me underneath your thumb
You bleed on the sheets
Whispers softly of how you love the stars
Than plead on your knees
Pledge your promises to do no harm
But please just let me be
I still find it hard to breathe
Save me even as you break me
Every time you rape me
Leave me coming all undone
Praise me than turn your back and hate me
Every time you waste me
Keep me underneath your thumb
Save me even as you break me
Every time you rape me
Leave me coming all undone
Praise me than turn your back and hate me
Every time you waste me
Keep me underneath your thumb
Save me don't turn your back and break me
Every time you rape me
Leave me coming all undone
Which you shelter underneath the scars
And dream of bitter themes
Rendered helpless by those wicked charms
But please don't believe
When I say it's hard to breathe
Every time you rape me
Leave me coming all undone
Praise me than turn your back and hate me
Every time you waste me
Keep me underneath your thumb
Whispers softly of how you love the stars
Than plead on your knees
Pledge your promises to do no harm
But please just let me be
I still find it hard to breathe
Every time you rape me
Leave me coming all undone
Praise me than turn your back and hate me
Every time you waste me
Keep me underneath your thumb
Every time you rape me
Leave me coming all undone
Praise me than turn your back and hate me
Every time you waste me
Keep me underneath your thumb
Every time you rape me
Leave me coming all undone

Love this song! Cant wait till the album comes out! I think this song is about a girl stuck in an abusive relationship, and as much as she wants out she is still in love with her boyfriend.
"You feed this disease Which you shelter underneath the scars And dream of bitter themes Rendered helpless by those wicked charms But please don't believe When I say it's hard to breathe"
She hides all this pain inside, and thinks or dreams of "Bitter themes" or suicide, or something else. And she's "Rendered helpless" by her boyfriend (or husbands) "Wicked charms" meaning that whenever she looks into his eyes or something, despite how abusive he is, she is in love with him. "Please don't believe when I say it's hard to breathe" probably means that whenever she tells him to stop he never does.
"Save me even as you break me Every time you rape me Leave me coming all undone Praise me than turn your back and hate me Every time you waste me Keep me underneath your thumb"
She's in love with him, even when he hurts her and leaves her alone. "Praise me, turn your back and hate me." How he apologizes, and then later goes and hurts her again?
"You bleed on the sheets Whispers softly of how you love the stars Than plead on your knees Pledge your promises to do no harm But please just let me be I still find it hard to breathe"
The first two lines could be either self harm, or sexual innuendo? (think about it, think really hard about it.) "plead on your kneeds, pledge your promises to do no harm" probably means how she wants to leave him, and he eventually talks her out of it by his "wicked charms." "Please just let me be, I still find it hard to breathe." She says no and leaves him probably.
Well, that's my interpretation. I did the best I could. I have a friend who went through something like that. But it probably isnt even about that, its justw hat it sounds like to me... lol... what r your opinions?
What's my opinion, you ask. You wrote a fairy tale, but if it floats your lil' boat than good sailing for you... I think it's a song about a whiny, sniveling guy who wants sympathy because he refuses to deal with his own issues. He thinks short term and is either too weak or too frightened to have that drive he once did..back when he jumped every hurdle and reached every goal w/o the support of those who were supposed to be there for him. He's stuck in a rut...a boring routine he's held onto for dear life after he...

He's stuck in a rut...a boring routine he's held onto for dear life after he gave up on himself long ago. He sees his weaknesses and vices and nothing more; therefore, he does his damnest to make them the very best weaknesses and vices known to humankind, regardless of the longterm effects. He brags about his independence and his control over his own life, but when he's alone he sees the truth...that he is dependent upon his vices and has little control over his spiralling life. But the image remains, and he'll milk it until the cows come home (so to speak). The song is about how he wishes to be left alone whenever others point out what he refuses to admit to himself. He would rather have others say nothing and leave him in a state of imagined (sometimes temporary) bliss rather than face the truth. He comes undone and feels he cannot breathe when someone who cares refuses to allow him to wallow in self pity and at times a veil of arrogance.
@xXxPunKxXx think you're spot on

You're probably right about the meaning of this song, it makes sense, but like to see it in a different way. Like it's about girl who's fighting feelings and some of her evil attributes she doesn't want to have, 'cause she knows they're wrong though she can't erase them. She's struggling, but then she can't repress it anymore - she snaps, and then again she comes back to her fight.
This is a male perspective of being in a sexually abusive relationship, and I wish people wouldn't assume it's written from a female perspective because the singer is talking about being a rape victim.
