Rope Ends Lyrics
This life is wearing her down
The room around her is a mess
Her children safe with her mom
Two children with different fathers
She sits on the bathroom floor alone
The shower chain broke, her neck hurts
Naked to the world, she wraps her sadness in a gown
Her children fast asleep, she sears the dark with glassy eyes
Choosing carefully among her husband's business ties
Beautiful life escaping her young blue eyes
But life holds her hand, refusing to let go
Leaving her breathing on the floor
She's still obsessed with rope ends
This time she picks a stronger tie
with Winnie the Pooh and friends
A child dying to be a mother
Now she hangs from the ceiling all alone
All pressure is falling from her
Merely twenty, beautiful, but with a taste for grief
She has learnt all that there is to know about hopelessness
Seeing that no effort in this world could stand her test
Beautiful life escaping her young blue eyes
And Winnie is strong, would never let her fall
Prevents her from breathing till she's not there at all
But life holds her hands, refusing to let go
Leaving her breathing on the floor
Merely twenty beautiful but with a taste for grief
She has learnt all that there is to know about helplessness
Seeing that no caring in this world can ease her stress
Unseeing eyes fixating Eeyore's smile
"Over!" she cries as she's going unblind
Still in this life, still in this troubled mind
The ceiling let go, the old house let her fall
Dropping her breathing to the hard cold floor
Hitting her head - a broken china soul
Red stains on porcelain and she's not there at all
Beautiful eyes, Piglet stands shy behind
Broken she lies, undead and unblind
Beautiful life, beautiful crying young eyes
Blackened and bruised, learning how to see
Staring at her tooth - crimsoned ivory
Hours they pass - this broken china soul
Red stains on porcelain, and she's not there at all
This song is about suicide. beautiful, nonetheless
This song is about suicide. beautiful, nonetheless

@clairdelune371 The Winnie the Pooh reference shocked me the most. I think it should just show a paradoxon - something as bright as a children comic helps her to do something as dark as suicide, maybe even showing hwo dark it is in comparison to her having children. And btw: He Mentions Eeyore at one point and Eeyore is the always depressed donkey in that comic.

Great song. Obviously about a mother who tries to commit suicide. She uses her childs Winnie the Pooh to help her commit suicide since her husbands ties did not work.

This is the second song in the album that devotes to the tragedies that happens between the couple based off of Daniel and his wife. The woman tries to hang herself with a Winnie the Pooh tie, only to have the beam of the roof break and she wakes up seeing the different characters from the cartoon. By the end of the song she is emotionally dead but still physically alive. "And Shes not there at all"
I'm pretty sure the Winnie the Pooh part is just a new tie that she tries. It also has Eyore on it apparently... The question is, why does her husband have a Winnie the Pooh tie? Oh, and great song.
Oh and now that I think about it, they probably put the Winnie the Pooh bit in there to remind the listener that the woman has children. Also, as she is committing suicide, she looks at Eyore's smile. She feels empty, and probably finds that the smile represents an artificial happiness or something like that. Or maybe the naive joy of youth.
"One night my wife dreamed that someone she knew tried to kill herself. The dream was so vivid she couldn't shake it off and finally she called her friend. It turned out that she had tried to hang herself three times that same night. A few years later I experienced someone trying to hang him/herself and I got there just in time. For a minute I couldn't get him/her down and I started to panic completely before I finally got the sudden insight that I should add my weight to the rope, and it broke. At one point earlier I thought of rushing to the kitchen for a knife to cut it with, but I found that it is impossible to leave the room when someone is hanging from the ceiling." - Daniel Gildenlöw
