Anniversary Lyrics
Do I look the same to you? 'Cause I don't feel so.
You know everything must change as time goes by.
Though it feels like yesterday when we first met.
I feel I'm sinking deeper.
Do you look the same to me? Well, I don't think so.
You know everything must change as time goes by.
Like the flowers that dry, locking inside
Forever their beauty.
And they said this feeling fades,
It gets stronger everyday.
And they said that beauty fades.
You're more beautiful than ever.
They said we'd drift away,
We're still standing here.
And it feels like everyday is our anniversary.
Well, I stumble through the dark and light a candle
And the path the wax will take, no one can know.
And you said it looked like snow or maybe clouds,
And I think it looks like heaven.
So we make it into a ring and make a mold.
And we melt above the flames the whitest gold.
When hot and cold collide what's left in place
Is forever and ever.
Some say things worth having take some time.
As they get older they get better.
You know everything must change as time goes by.
Though it feels like yesterday when we first met.
I feel I'm sinking deeper.
Do you look the same to me? Well, I don't think so.
You know everything must change as time goes by.
Like the flowers that dry, locking inside
Forever their beauty.
And they said this feeling fades,
It gets stronger everyday.
And they said that beauty fades.
You're more beautiful than ever.
They said we'd drift away,
We're still standing here.
And it feels like everyday is our anniversary.
Well, I stumble through the dark and light a candle
And the path the wax will take, no one can know.
And you said it looked like snow or maybe clouds,
And I think it looks like heaven.
So we make it into a ring and make a mold.
And we melt above the flames the whitest gold.
When hot and cold collide what's left in place
Is forever and ever.
Some say things worth having take some time.
As they get older they get better.

This song is among the most beautiful ever made. It means more to me than I could ever tell.
I must agree with you Ouiji.. Tis quite beautiful.. I can relate quite well to the story..
Enduring love, is always beautiful.
a beautiful song. I had it play at my wedding.
Haha. No offense, as you are all but none grasp the full meaning of this song. This is from Voltaire's first album, The Devil's Bris. All of the songs in that album have very twisted meanings, some extremely subtle, some not so subtle. This one? Extremely subtle.
Where this song takes a twist is:
cuz you know everything must change as time goes by like the flowers that dry, locking inside forever their beauty, and beauty
He's comparing dried, dead flowers to his girlfriend. Think about that. The rest of the song takes on a whole new meaning.
If you'd like it spelled out for you: His girlfriend was unfaithful or did something to shatter his dreams of eternal companionship. So he murdered her and embalmed her as to preserve her beauty. The mood of this song isn't love: It's sociopathic denial.
or possibly he's using it in the sense that when a flower is dried, it's image and beauty are forever, and the girl he is in love with, to him, will forever look as beautiful as she did when he first met her...

Maybe, that's just my take

Wow talk about reading too deeply into something. Why are there so many people on this site that think every song is about suicide or murder. It's just a pretty celebration of one's love for another. No other lyric supports this theory at all.

So we're just gonna pretend this song isn't about killing a girl and preserving her corpse? Well, alright. If you ignore that it does end up being pretty romantic
Although the meaning IS about the preserving of an ex's corpse (which is awesomely deep, thanks Voltaire!) it can still be construed and used as a romantic song
