Yay, I'm the first to post! Anyway, I think this song is a big disapointment. It shows one of the directions Relient K has, sadly, chosen to take. The actual message is great, but the presentation is rather morbid if you ask me, like the part that talks about "bodies limp on the floor" which is just nasty to me. Sure, the love between them might have died, but surely there is a better way to say it. I also don't like how close it comes to some bad language in the lines "To see that you've been aptly damned." They could have said "condemned," but they didn't. I love Relient K and I always will, but this trend of unnecessary morbidity is a sad, sad thing for me, a fan who likes their upbeat pop/punk style better (Like is found on Two Lefts).
Yes, this song uses some strong and morbid descriptions and metaphors, but I think it adds to the impact of the message, and using condemned would have thrown off the rhythm. Its strong, yes, but to me it just shows his passion.
