So let me take this medicine
To quench my love for violent things
My swan song will
Be like a bullet laced in anger
As the razor cuts the soft spot on your heel
(It's back) It's getting slower
(This war) It's getting harder
To fight by myself
(This place) A bitter fashion
(Ripped out) This shield that I have
Tears rain from above
Do you see the life I lead?
So, follow me into the sun
And I will bleed the poision dry
These bayonet scars never seize
To blind the light shed from the beast
And all we do is hate
(Passion) From constant visions
(Angels) A round of useless
Good has lost its heart
Do you see the life I lead?
So, follow me into the sun
And I will bleed the poison dry
For you
For you
(For you!)
(For you!)
(For you!)
Bite to break skin
Don't give the secret
My stoic face
Bleeding with passion
The Phoenix will die
Inside the firestorm
I am the son
Follow my footsteps.
Bite to break skin
Don't give the secret
My stoic face
Bleeding with passion
The Phoenix will die
Inside the firestorm
I am the son
Follow my footsteps.
To quench my love for violent things
My swan song will
Be like a bullet laced in anger
As the razor cuts the soft spot on your heel
(It's back) It's getting slower
(This war) It's getting harder
To fight by myself
(This place) A bitter fashion
(Ripped out) This shield that I have
Tears rain from above
Do you see the life I lead?
So, follow me into the sun
And I will bleed the poision dry
These bayonet scars never seize
To blind the light shed from the beast
And all we do is hate
(Passion) From constant visions
(Angels) A round of useless
Good has lost its heart
Do you see the life I lead?
So, follow me into the sun
And I will bleed the poison dry
For you
For you
(For you!)
(For you!)
(For you!)
Bite to break skin
Don't give the secret
My stoic face
Bleeding with passion
The Phoenix will die
Inside the firestorm
I am the son
Follow my footsteps.
Bite to break skin
Don't give the secret
My stoic face
Bleeding with passion
The Phoenix will die
Inside the firestorm
I am the son
Follow my footsteps.

"So let me take this medicine
to quench my love for violent things.
My swan song will
be like a bullet laced in anger
as the razor cuts the soft spot on your heel.
(each breath) is getting getting slower
(this war) is getting harder, to fight by myself
(sick waves) of bitter fashion
(rip down) the shield that I have tears rain from above"
The chorus, "do you see the life i lead" is pretty self-explainitory. "So follow me into the sun" is his future death. "And I will bleed the poisons dry" is withdraw.
The 2nd verse, simply describing unsuccessful attempts of suicide by slashing of the wrists and how we as people judge others for such scars. 2nd part (in order), during the "high", the visions one sees. The person's calling for help is useless. The lifelessness and hopelessness of the individual.
"These bayonet scars never cease
to blind the light shed from the beast
and all we do is hate.
(Eyes shot) from constant visions.
(Angels) are rendered useless.
Good has lost it's heart."
The ending, in meaning, would be, 'the pinch of a needle, don't give my secret, my desire to free myself, shot down with addiction, my life will end, due to my addiction, Jesus (I am) is the son of God, follow his (my) footsteps into heaven.
"Bite to break skin.
Don't give the secret.
My stoic face,
beaten with passion.
The Phoenix will die
inside the firestorm.
I am the son.
Follow my footsteps."
DO NOT FORGET poems/songs can have multiple meanings seen by others opinions. This is my opinion of what the song means. What's yours?
(this war) is getting harder, to fight by myself
(sick waves) of bitter fashion
(rip down) the shield that I have tears rain from above
Here he talks about his life.
Do you see the life I lead?
Here he talks to god telling Him he is having a tough time
So follow me into the sun
and I will bleed the poision dry.
His answer is to follow Him
(this war) is getting harder, to fight by myself
(sick waves) of bitter fashion
(rip down) the shield that I have tears rain from above
Here he talks about his life.
Do you see the life I lead?
Here he talks to god telling Him he is having a tough time
So follow me into the sun
and I will bleed the poision dry.
His answer is to follow Him
this song is definately about struggling to see the truth in faith. and that is all.
the last part...the first time he screams it it is meaning Jesus, the second time is meaning himself. basically the whole song is compairing himself to Christ and he wonders why two people who lead such different lives could have such similar views. i'm out
inside the firestorm." awesome lyrics, but its also kind of contradictory
because the phoenix can't die, it simply is reborn from its own ashes ( if you go along with the mythical idea of the phoenix) i love senses fail.
the overall meaning of the Phoenix is rebirth..so its neverending
