Mourning Lyrics

Is there something that you are trying to say
Don't hold back now
It's been a long time since I felt this way
So don't hold back now

I purposely forgot about
Loving anyone
Cause I'm the only one who has
Who has been stepped upon

Is there something that you are trying to say
Cause I can take it
Cause I grew up a man this way
And if I'm hurt I'll shake it

I'll crawl back into my cave
That's how I'll make it
Cause out of all this hurt we have
Beauty thus become
Beauty thus become

[Chorus: x2]
In the mourning I can see the signs
No wonder I could never keep you satisfied
In the mourning I can see inside
Myself and all the things that you were trying to hide

Wishing all the best for you
And now I will say goodbye
Cause all the shit that we've been through
Put wisdom in my eyes

So walk away, don't turn around
Cause I won't be standing here
Cause all the lies that I've been living through
Are becoming very clear
And beauty thus become

[Chorus]

Then you conned me into thinking
That all I had was you
The small insinuations
Were cutting me through
Cutting me through

And now I stand alone here
Stronger than before
And I'll never go back
Never go back
Never go

[Chorus: x2]

LiveUrLife your right, tose lines mean alot. That reminds me of saying goodbye to a girl, thinking I may never see her again. Every time I here those lines I start to cry.

@F.O.R.D45

It’s about a relationship that went bad. Manipulation (“you conned me into thinking…”), lies, self discovery and believe it or not acceptance and redemption.

“Beauty thus become” - ask yourself what possible “beauty” could come from a relationship based on lies and manipulation….?

The child. Well, their child. A child was born from this relationship (“beauty thus become”) and his acceptance of this beautiful child has redeemed the lies (both his and hers) and allowed him to move on with this child in his life, leaving the woman behind.

TO me this song is about breaking up because you feel you have to, the love is there and you both really care for each other. There have been little things that have influenced them in the past and while they both have a strong feeling for love. To him it just doesn't feel the same as it once did. I think also that maybe she doesnt always show her feelings. To me the lines... "Wishing all the best for you And now I will say goodbye Cause all the shit that we've been through Put wisdom in my eyes

So walk away, don't turn around Cause I won't be standing here Cause all the lies that I've been living through Are becoming very clear And beauty thus become " ... to me these lines mean alot to me, it reminds me of breaking up with a girl, knowing it hurts her and it hurts you just as much but you think that this will be the best for both of you in the end.

I've read these lyrics over and over again and to me it seems as if the relationship was fake all along. The girl led him on to believe that she had feelings for him and that she was all about him and in doing that he fell for her.

Then you conned me into thinking That all I had was you The small insinuations Were cutting me through Cutting me through

It also seems he has been hurt before and he deals with it by hiding his emotions and cutting himself off from the world.

Is there something that you are trying to say Don't hold back now It's been a long time since I felt this way So don't hold back now

I purposely forgot about Loving anyone Cause I'm the only one who has Who has been stepped upon

Is there something that you are trying to say Cause I can take it Cause I grew up a man this way And if I'm hurt I'll shake it

I'll crawl back into my cave That's how I'll make it Cause out of all this hurt we have Beauty thus become Beauty thus become

Then he realized that she never really cared to begin with and he was used and he had to say goodbye. It also seems as though he's not mad but grew stronger and smarter from the experience.

Wishing all the best for you And now I will say goodbye Cause all the shit that we've been through Put wisdom in my eyes

So walk away, don't turn around Cause I won't be standing here Cause all the lies that I've been living through Are becoming very clear And beauty thus become

And now I stand alone here Stronger than before And I'll never go back Never go back Never go

I could be wrong but it makes since to me...

This song is supposedly Tantric's last song ever...It sounds to me like the singer is dealing with a breakup with a girlfriend, but it could also be interpreted as dealing with the breakup of the band...whatever floats your boat =)

This tune is about kicking heroin.

I really like this song. I think everyone should hear it and i think ALMOST everyone can relate to it somehow.

An error occured.

This song is amazing and I certainly hope the band is not breaking up.. Especially since they are supposedly touring with Creed. I think moreso than a break up.. He's dealing with the fact that he blamed himself.... And then realized that it wasn't just his fault for losing what they had.. Now THAT is something that EVERYONE can relate to.

Uhm, no, Tantric isn't breaking up. As to the song meaning: From the Tantric website, the song is about realizing a relationship simply won't work, even though the love is there.

An error occured.

It might be about a relationship that wont work even though the love is there. But i think it is talking about a relationship where only one of them is in love..and the other doesnt feel the same way and doesnt know how to break it to the guy/girl.

An error occured.

I think this song is deffinatly one of the best I've ever heard. What first drew me to the song was not the lyrics, however. It was the music. I think that they really sound great with the music/notes/ect and I also think the dynamics are great. They really did a good job of expressing themselves in this song.

An error occured.

It means different things to different people, depending on your experinces and the way u live your life. I believe that its about a relationship between two people or a group of people. It apears to me like the writer is feeling the same thing as the other person in the relationship, but does not want to edmidt it. I believe he is trying to say that if the relationship is no more, then he will hide his feelings and he will "craw back in my cave" and shake his pain off, make it seem like it does not matter what happens to him.
