I can't tolerate your sadness
Cause it's me you're drowning
I won't allow any happiness
'Cause every time you laugh, I feel so guilty

"I blame the needs that you feed
'Cause selfish eyes would not see"

Am I forced to have any regret?
I've become the lie, beautiful and free
In my righteous own mind
I adore and preach the insanity you gave

Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
No need for sympathy, the misery that is me
No need for sympathy, it's only for the weak
On bleeding knees I accept my fate

I've lost the ability to paint the clouds
'cause it's me you're draining
I'm stuck in this slow-motion dark day
'Cause every time you run, I fall behind

"Far away is a place where I hide
The truth that have to be locked away"

And so I hear my voice again
The tale of the bitter man, here I am
Shake the silence and hear what it says
The tranquil pride that become the lie

    General Comment:Personally, it rings of being with someone who has borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. And as anyone in such a situation can attest, it is very draining mentally and emotionally.

    General Comment:I think it has something to do with a failing relationship, and the guy trying to drown away the sorrow with alcohol, hence; "sell me the infection".

    Song Meaning:To me this song is about giving an STD viral disease to a lover.. a lover whom he truly cared about.. This is a life long torture that is now shared by both. If you take a step back and read the entire song with this mindset you can literally see his agony.. his confusion on how to feel and what to do..

    General Comment:drugs.

    "sell me the infection, it's only for the weak" imo there's no doubt about that, its refering to an addiction.

    General Comment:-Imagine a situation where you love someone, but you have little hope getting her.(lets say she's blond)
    -Then you search another girl to talk with. Not to forget the other one, but because you are sad.
    -Then you find that you get on well with eachother, and you like her very much as a person. You get on so well, that eventually you "seduce" her, but not intentionally.
    -You deny her love, because you still love the blond girl.
    -Now YOU became the monster, but
    you can't tolerate her sadness, because you like her.
    you feel guilty, because you took her away from his boyfriend
    "cause selfish eyes would not see" : a selfish man wouldn't care about her boyfriend.
    you became "the lie, beautiful and free", because you made her think she can get you.
    but you still you "adore and preach" her.
    -Now you tell her your "dark tale" about the blond girl you are striving for.

    General Comment:i think its about a guy who is really lonely and past relationships have never worked out

    he just accepts that he's going to die alone and tries to live with it

    I find that alot of people on the internet (forums, messaging boards, etc) like In Flames, and Im beginning to see why.

    General Comment:I recently wrote my ex-boyfriend a very heartfelt letter about our relationship and he responded with these lyrics. We happened to meet and start talking because of in flames and I love him beyond words. When we broke up I used lyrics from black & white. I can't figure out if it's a good or bad thing that he used these lyrics. Either he's telling me he isn't what I thought or he's telling me that if love is weakness then sell it to him. I'm at a loss, either it's a really good thing or a really bad thing, any help?
