Rope Lyrics
I guess it always seems that something in this life is diseased
But guess what I know - Here\'s something that you can\'t devour
It\'s something moving with the tide and now it\'s ripping you from inside
It\'s OK to believe that there\'s something in nothing now
If I could give - I\'ll bet I would play dead
If I could live - I\'d fall apart again
If I could fly - away from all this pain
If I could run - I\'d crumble again
That everything you learned in this - is just a pile of worthlessness
So suffocate - and maybe you can separate
And in the end - it\'s no surprise - that only in death will you realize
If I could give - I\'ll bet I would play dead
If I could live - I\'d fall apart again
If I could fly away - from all this pain
If I could run - I\'d crumble again
You can\'t drive when you\'re blind - and it burns your eyes
You can\'t hold me to a place in time - where I\'m stuck behind
You can\'t climb out of the flood -the sign - listen to the lies that cut
you up inside - and the blood will stain our lives
I\'m at the end of my rope
If I could cut me in any way I could
If I could fly away
If I could....If I could run
its about pain and how i wish i could get rid o it
I agree, it has suicidal connatations. Yet its more about the self-destructive pattern leading up the thoughts of suicide.
I get the impression that he's saying "Right, theres nothing to live for. Life is hollow and empty, and everything that to which I attached meaning is 'just a pile of worthlessness' when you look more closely'. So I might as well just kill myself and take you with me".
Sounds like what an angsty teenager would be thinking before he shoots up hip school.
Cheer up emo kids. :D
killer song, its hard but it has some melody just how it should be.
i agree with both
think its a bit suicidal
ummm no you definitely dont have a point there so what.. seriously its a good song
Great song..........
Definatly a suicidal song, The title "Rope" clears that up. But by saying "I'm at the end of my rope" to me means hes on the verge of snaping (if he hasnt already) and Kicking out the chair from beneath him if you will.
"So suffocate and maybe you can separate And in the end it's no surprise that only in death will you realize" This only backs up the suicidal image of this song
Personally, I don't think it necessarily has to be suicidal. You especially can't say that just based on the title.
In being at the end of his rope, Max has exausted all efforts in whatever situation he was facing. It's not so much him saying "I want to kill myelf and kill you" as much as it is him saying he doesn't know what to do. He's spent. He's tired. He's broken and blinded. Everything's unraveled.
this song is great!
i agree with noone.
