sarah didnt write this song. she used the exact words from letters sent to her by a stalker. instead of running scared of him she confronted him with this song. ill break it down for you: "And I would be the one To hold you down Kiss you so hard" ....he's talking about physically forcing her down against her will and violently kissing her "I'll take your breath away and after, I'd wipe away the tears just close your eyes dear" ....he says ill take your breath away as in i will literally take your breath away by killing you. this whole verse is about him killing her. "Through this world I've stumbled so many times betrayed" in this verse it means he feels like nobody has understood him his whole life, remember he is a mentally ill stalker, people like him feel like nobody understands them and that they are all alone in the world "Trying to find an honest word To find the truth enslaved" this means he is paranoid "Oh you speak to me in riddles and You speak to me in rhymes" in this line, it is explaing that he "knows" she is "speaking" to him through songs and other things, even though she really is not. he imagines her trying to speak to him because in his mind he thinks she is in love with him. he is obsessed with her. "My body aches to breathe your breath You words keep me alive" he is obsessed with her and truely thinks he would be nothing without her. he wants to steal her breath as in kill her "Into this night I wander It’s morning that I dread Another day of knowing of The path I fear to tread" he stalks her, he watches her in the night "Oh into the sea of waking dreams I follow without pride Nothing stands between us here And I won’t be denied" he is saying there is nothing that will stop him from having her and he wont let her deny him no matter what it takes. i agree that this is a beautiful song, but after you really understand the meaning of the lyrics and know the fact that this was written by an obviously mentally ill person it no longer is a love song or anything romantic. it is her stalker threatening her and talking about killing her. its not romantic, its just creepy |
