The Leaving Song Pt. 2

thinking about the song i figured out what it means to me. its about being broken in ways that make you think that nothing can save you from yourself and all the emotions youve found and hid inside yourself from everyone. its an explanation of the thoughts that may go through ones head while reflecting on life.

Don't waste your touch, you won't feel anything Or were you sent to save me? -trying to keep people at a distance because of thoughts that you already dying or dead but asking yourself if they can really help make you feel alive and whole once again I've thought too much, you won't find anything... Worthy of redeeming -being stuck inside ones own head and emotions so long has made you believe that there isnt anything good left of yourself and its just a waste of time to get help now cause its to late

Yo he esta-do agui muchas veces antes y regreso (translation-I have been here many times before and I return)

To... break down, and cease all feeling Burn now, what once was breathing Reach out, and you may take my heart away -put with the spanish it means that you've come to this feeling of hopelessness before and justcame back to it once again. came back to just breaking down and numbing yourself from all the emotions and pain/anger/sadness/fear you've been feeling and just basically kill off all emotion though there is still a hope that someone can reach out to you and help ease the pain by taking what you have become inside away Imperfect cry, and scream in ecstasy So what befalls the flawless? -hating and loving what is happening to yourself. questioning what happen to the ones who are perfect. Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully Now watch as it destroys me -you've made a mask of perfection around yourself now. it makes others believe that nothing is wrong and they envy the way it makes them looking. all this time it's killing you inside to not show what you really feel and it hurts lying to everyone and not letting them see you for the imperfection you really are.

Y regreso agui otra vez y comienzo (translation-i return here again and begin)

To... break down, and cease all feeling Burn now, what once was breathing Reach out, and you may take my heart away -now coming back to this place of instability again and doing it all over again. repeating the cycle of breaking down from the emotions pooling up inside then shutting yourself off again and killing them once more while hoping that someone will free you from it.

Break down, and cease all feeling Burn now, what once was breathing Reach out, and you may take my heart away -the repetition just goes to show that all of this is an endless cycle that keeps happening and never seems to stop

I left it all behind, and never said goodbye I left it all behind, and never said goodbye I left it all behind, and never said goodbye I left it all to die -completely killing off everything you felt and becoming like an empty shell. leaving all the memories of everything behind and not looking back though by not saying goodbye it means that you aren't over them all yet you just dont want to face them.

I saw its birth, I watched it grow I felt it change me I took the life, I ate it slow Now it consumes me -you know that it started and just let the feelings build up until it made you a different person than what you were before. it turned your life into something completely diffeent than what it was, what you wanted it to be. you then completely got rid of all emotions and bit back anything that you might've felt. now by holding it all in and not letting anything come out you let it all take over your life. it haunts you and you can't get rid of it no matter what. its all now part of you, it is you now.

I... break down, and cease all feeling Burn now, what once was breathing Reach out, and you may take my heart away

Break down, and cease all feeling Burn now, what once was breathing Reach out, and you may take my heart away ... Heart away -trying to be a completely emotionless shell of a person hasnt worked because the feelings come back again and the cycle starts over again. heart away being repeated at the end just shows how much you want to get rid of all the negativity and your hoping more than ever that someone will save you from yourself so the endless cycle of pain and hurt will finally stop and you can try to go back to a better life once again. go back to feeling something good.

i love this song...i relate to it in the way i stated above...the pain and hurt and anger never stop coming as long as you let yourself feel this way and dont try to let anyone close enough to take the pain away and no amount of hoping will get someone to help you with what they dont even know exists...its sad but enlightening. this is a beautiful song and i am happy for the sense of hope it brings. thanks to any who took the time to read my interpretation. i know its long but i cant make short explanations. sorry ;)
