This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
This is it in the lions share
Tied to this bed + I can't stand no more
Do you need what I need
In this vault of disease
Take your sides content to bleed
Your revolution died with all your greed
I set the time to all the lies
Of those in bed without a bind
Inside this church
We will burn all the loves
Of the women
Inside this church
We will burn all the lives
Of the damaged
Unjustify. Killed desire
Do you bleed what I bleed
In this house of the need
Genocide in where I live?
I can't forget too much + can't forgive
I'm just a fool with severed eyes
With severed lies with severed eyes
Inside this church
We will burn all the lives of the women
Damaged, damn, live, living, living
Unjustify
Get up and walk away
From this blaming halo
Got to move and set fire
To your church
Move to the living
Justify the testified...petrified...obey
Walk away it's just a flaming halo
In this blame invention
Get up and set fire
To your church
Tied to this bed + I can't stand no more
Do you need what I need
In this vault of disease
Take your sides content to bleed
Your revolution died with all your greed
I set the time to all the lies
Of those in bed without a bind
Inside this church
We will burn all the loves
Of the women
Inside this church
We will burn all the lives
Of the damaged
Unjustify. Killed desire
Do you bleed what I bleed
In this house of the need
Genocide in where I live?
I can't forget too much + can't forgive
I'm just a fool with severed eyes
With severed lies with severed eyes
Inside this church
We will burn all the lives of the women
Damaged, damn, live, living, living
Unjustify
Get up and walk away
From this blaming halo
Got to move and set fire
To your church
Move to the living
Justify the testified...petrified...obey
Walk away it's just a flaming halo
In this blame invention
Get up and set fire
To your church

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Another metal song telling bad things to the masses.What's new?
how is it telling bad things to the masses? Surely somebody should reveal the brutality anf hypocrisy of the christian church. In this the church's sexism is highlighted- "inside this church we will burn all the lives of the women".
piero10: 1 - amen aren't metal, they're punk. 2 - ladyboygrrl is right. 3 - your favourite band, according to your profile, is linkin park. as linkin park's lyrics are rediculously pubescence and introverted, how can you comment on the validity of an intelligent band like amen? 4 - i hate you
does anyone know what casey says in that part where the music cuts out and he just screams something?
Amen aren't really a punk band, it is true that its more metal. But not in the modern sense of the word. Hypocracy, eh? Yes OK the Church is hypocritical, but in 2001 I remember a Casey Choas refusing to play the main stage at Reading Festival because he "Hated fucking arena rock". Summer 2002, where was his band proudly billed? Yep, main stage. Sell out?
cheers MKPunk42
o and also, amen arent blatantly racist, homophobic, sexist instigators of violence. unlike relgion in general really. theyre not hypocritical about things that actually MATTER.
South Hibbing Amen played the mainstage at Leeds and Reading because they were asked too and the band was on the verge of spliting up they were poor as fuck and hadnt played shows in the uk in a long time. Play a mainstage is selling out either. Sell out is an over used stupid term in my opinion and it should never be applied to Amen. And MKpunk42 when the music cuts out Casey just screams ''Get up and walk away its just a blaming halo''
congratualtions on having sense, Koma :-)
Yeah, i always refer to Amen being metal with a punk edge. Great song though.
