I'm not sure if this is what went through Maynard's mind as he wrote this beautiful song, but it is one interpretation of it: I think it could be about a relationship between him and and another person. It seems that he loves the person but that person is so fearfully attached to him that it pushes him away and he detaches from the situation emotionally in order to refrain from acting violently or otherwise. Maybe he does not know exactly what to do so it's his only option. "Take care not to make me enter. 'Cause if I do we both may disappear." He could react violently and kill them both in order to end the vicious cycle. "Slipping back into the gap again. I'm alive when you're touching me, Alive when you're shoving me down. But I'd trade it all For just a little bit of Piece of mind." He becomes alive, or fully consciously and emotionally present when she emotionally affects him, even if it is in a negative way. As said before, in order to get peace he has to detach from the situation emotionally. He would rather be fully present, but without the emotional pain or worry arising from other person's fearful attachment to him. The other person will not understand, or fulfill his desire or right to have his own personal space. "Saw that gap again today As you were begging me to stay. Managed to push myself away, And you, as well." He detaches emotionally, or dissociates. From both how he feels and how the other person feels. "If, when I say I may fade like a sigh if I stay, You minimize my movement anyway, I must persuade you another way." He says if he tells her that he just may fade like a sigh, or dissociate emotionally, and she minimizes his personal space and freedom anyway, that he must persuade her another way... even if by force, as we find out further into the song: "There's no love in fear." Her fear that he will leave is actually pushing him away. Now he is desperate to escape the situation because she is so focused on her attachment to him that they cannot have any other type of experience but a fearful one. This is not love. It's selfish fearful attachment. "Staring down the hole again. Hands upon my back again. Survival is my only friend. Terrified of what may come." Her hands are on his back because she is pushing him away. Survival is the only thing he can find comfort in, because he does not know what will come of the situation and fears the worst because of her lack of understanding and cooperation. "Just remember I will always love you, Even as I tear your fucking throat away. But it will end no other way." He reassures her that he will always love her. The fact that he has to reassure her implies that she is fearful that he doesn't actually love her. There is no love in fear as he stated earlier. He decides to use force in order to break the vicious cycle because she isn't cooperating/allowing it to end any other (peaceful) way. I skipped the first verse because for me it's self-explanitory, but I cannot find the words to interpret it into. Any comments or critiques to this interpretation are completely welcome. :) |

| Brand New – You Stole Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I don't agree. This album clearly has religious connotations. Look at the song Vices. One could argue all day that it can't be for sure that the lyrics of this album have religion-related meanings, and no one can be *for sure*, but one does not simply erase everything they once knew and believed. That fact obviously reflects in this album and if you can't see it, you're blind. | |
