I agree with MissBron we need SO many more fans on this website, I also love reading others' interpretations of songs. I mean some songs have a clear meaning, and some artists talk about why they wrote a song, but most songs are so open to interpretation and can take so many different meanings to everyone.

Short stack lyrics are brilliant: they don't "make sense" literally - which is why they DO make sense on a much deeper level- and the heavy use of metaphors and everything just adds to the intensity of the lyrics. Personally I think this song is about a guy who is severely heart broken. "as i lay you took my breath away" - this could mean "you were so beautiful you took my breath away" but I'm interpreting it as "You left me and I stopped breathing".

"Forever just won't be the same Still i forgive you the pain Take these broken wings fly from the heart you stole Cutting your dress on the floor Still i forgive you once more Take these broken wings fly from the heart you stole"

I love that entire verse there. I think it is beautiful! He loves her so much that he forgives her more than once. It's almost as if he loves her so much that he is willing to let her go ("...fly from the heart you stole") knowing that he will suffer, and if she ever does come back, he will forgive her and still be willing to let her go again if she needs it.

Anyway, it is extremely likely that the song writers would look at my comment and think Wow this song has been misunderstood completely lol, but when I listen to it, that's what I make of it. Whatever it is though, it is beautiful!
