Hold On Tightly, Let Go Lightly

It's about someone who loves another person, let's say a guy to a girl to make it easier...break down: When you're left with only a bullet, I'll bring the trigger and a promise to pull it. I'll be the end of everyone who's ever entered your life and taken pieces out of it. Everything is breaking in her life and he'll be the thing to make it come back together, like the trigger to her gun and in another sense he'll do what a gun is supposed to do and destroy her pain and all of the people who cause it or make her forget it I'll give you enough time to regain your composure... to reconstruct a heart that's torn apart from over-exposure. I know forever isn't long enough to forget the faces and places that played out your tragedy. He knows it's a lot of pain for her to just drop so he's going to step back and let her ease back into having love in her life and while he knows that forever may not be long enough to forget everything everyone has ever done to her he hopes she'll not hold on to those pains and not allow him to show her real love because he knows he can Our memory defeats us all. I've touched the stagnant water and muddy walls of the trench where you've been sleeping, and there's nothing there worth keeping or believing. Her memory is what is keeping her from letting him in...she's holding on to her past and in that, not allowing him in. Stagnant water will make you sick and mud's just nasty and a trench is usually associated with loneyness and just being unwanted and that's where she's been and he doesn't want her to hold on to that. He wants her to let go of it and see him as a new prospect because "there's nothing there worth keeping..." So, on the eve of the attack, we'll finger-trace the targets on their backs and open fire. Just hold on until they're gone. He's going to be with her no matter what even if he has to make her past go away. In a metaphoric sense of course...anyway, he's using a "battle" type scene to emphasize his point because a battle is the most outright way to destroy something bad. They're going to hold on to each other until it's better for her (that's the only part i'm unclear about) So, with this kiss, I promise to never forget what you did for me. I felt the sun on my face for the first time, and tasted blood on my tongue for the last. ~~In helping her, he helped himself forget the pain of his past. it's used to show how they weren't meant for each other. The sun represents hope and new life and it's a first for him while the blood represents the pain and despair of his past. They've created a new beginning for each other. This song can be used for friendship or a lover or anything. That's why I love it so much. I'm going to see them the day after thanksgiving with Emery (another great band) yay! Hope this helped..feel free to disagree...i like it better when that happens
