Redemption

Dis song iz da bomb!!! I'm really feelin' dis song!!! If u start listenin', I guarantee u'll b feelin' it quickly!!! 3rd Strike's muzik haz dat effect on people!!!

From different parts of the songs, you can take it different ways.. one perception is that the song is about a girl who faces depression, and he is trying to help her.. "Feel addiction take control, I know you'll runaway. Reality is just fantasy again." That is how it sometimes feels.. and the other is the obvious; he wants her, and is saying that she will be his only one.. I like the first concept better, just makes it that much more alluring.

This song touches deep. Yet, i can't seem to figure out what it is..

I think the song is about a threatening relationship.

To me, the person is wanting/asking this girl to fall in love with him. ("Would you let me take control if i told you that i would never love another?") He is wanting her to fully devote herself to him ("Build a prison for your soul") and is reassuring her that he would be taking care of her. ("with the shelter i provide, surely we can live forever") Beyond this point i assume that they are now involved with each other. ("Feel addiction take control, i know you'll runaway.")

The next verse gets a tad complicated to decipher. I might be wrong so feel free to disagree. To me, he is asking for a deeper involvment with her, maybe he is asking her to move in with him, or perhaps to marry him ("Would you let me take you home?") notice the sense of enslavement ("Fulfill my every need, keep you in this spell you're under.") And how he seems to be rushing her for an answer. ("Cause now's the time to let you know, If you only take my hand, never will there be another.")

The next verse is pretty self explanatory. It sounds like a couple of years down the road and how the relationship is threatening to the girl (" I see redemption in your eyes although i always seem to make you cry So high off the pain that i give to you,") She can't leave him because she has nowhere else to turn ("You can't leave or perceive that you're better off without me.")

I come to the conclusion that the song is about the average relationship between a mistreated wife and a harmful husband and how this girl seems to be trapped with her threatening lover. ("No love is sicker than the one we found, keep a frown on your face and you'll never replace me.")

Of course, this is my opinion, i might be insanely wrong. 8)

great song. these guys are awesome live

i feel this song is by someone who loves someone even though they dont want to, because it hurts them to love that person, and that they feel the other person feels the same way, that no matter how much they hate each other, tehy love each other too much to leave one another, and the only way they can live is with each other.

If you look at the content of this song... it is a Spiritual song... I believe the devil is telling us that the end is near and though you run away you always come back and he always ends up hurting you and you think it's love but it's really just a sick spell you're under but just hold my hand one more time and NEVER will there be another....in other words just hold my hand one more time and I'll take you to hell with me.... The devil wants to control our lives...

Would your let me take control (we all know he wants to control our lives) If I told you I would never love another (he only wants your soul) Build a prison for your soul(that's pretty much to the point) With the shelter I provide (hell) Surely we can live forever(eternal hell fire)

Feel addiction take control(the life he offers is a spritual pull downward) Reality is just fantasy again (life or reality is a fantasitical hell.....) If I could penetrate your soul(Possesion) I'd help you find a way to make fantasy reality again(real hell.....forever) Would you let me take you home?(I believe we've established the fact he's referring to hell) Fulfill my every need(satan is in the business of destroying humanity) Keep you in this spell you're under Cause now's the time to let you know, If you only take my hand, never will there be another.(If you take his hand...he won't let go.......and there will NEVER be another....you won't have the chance to let go and come back to GOd...)

I could explain the rest completely but pretty much is saying I'm using you and killing you and you don't even know it and you can't get away you'll never replace this sick so called love....

Sorry guys but it's plain to see this is not talking about a physical relationship between two human beings it's satan and the human race.........

Goto an apostolic truth teaching church today:) JEsuS loVEs you :)

godfearingone, that's an interesting view, and I respect your opinion, but don't think that just because you think that's the right interpretation that no one else's can be applied here.and the AUTHOR'S MEANING is not spiritual, it's about a relationship he had with someone where the more he beat her, the more she liked it.i heard him with my own ears at one of their shows (great performance by the way) say this was so.

however, we all have our own personal meanings to songs and isn't that what rally matters?

I lost 10 points off my IQ after reading TheLinkMan's post.

this song makes me think hes just a very selfish man ..
