i'm not exactly sure what i think of this song (which i love with my entire heart) but i do get the feeling that somebody gets hurt.

first off, it talkes about: "and all the times you smiled you said hello and thought i was ok i was planning my final struggle" which makes me think that the two people could have once been in a relationship that has been long dead, and the girl thinks everything is okay and theyre friends and junk. but at the same time the guy is still mad over it and is "planning my final struggle". murder maybe? or rape.

the next part that caught my attention was: "when you wake up ill be there when you see me you'll be on your back when you know your already dead. you left me too." ok, so he's gonna sneek up on her in the middle of the night. kinda stalker-ish if you ask me. but what i think happens is either rape or consentual sex, becuase of the "when you see me you'll be on your back" and sometimes 'on your back' is a term for sex. i also get from this that the girl probably ended the relationship from the "you left me too" line.

ok, next: "breaking through your basement window" ok, so he's deffenatly broken into her house. "and all the times you left" reassures my theory she left him (maybe multiple times)

and now we coem to: "you shook my hand and thought i was your friend i was planning a ending" once again, she thought everything was just fine but he didnt think so. it could be (from the second line) that he was still mad enough, maybe to even kill HER.

and the last thing that sticks out to me is: "try and stop the pain but theres never closure by your soul i sing like you could help" i don't know about you, but after somebody breaks up with me, its kinda a bad feeling. sometimes you feel hurt (ie: pain). and sometimes, no matter what you do, you still love that person (ie: never closure). but in the next part, it says "by your soul i sing", by your SOUL not by you. i think she's dead.

so to tie everything up, this is what i got:

there's a couple in a relationship where the girl breaks it off. and all this time she's thinking that they still have a frienship and that everything is ok when they guy is actually really torn up about it. so he plans to do something. (it could be one of thoies "if i cant have no nobody can" things). so he breaks into her house, rapes/has sexwith her, then kills her, only to find he doesn't feel any better from where he started from.

the end.

i could be really wrong, but, thats what i think.

but the 'you left me' line isnt that. Its 'you'll love me too'
