somebody please tell me
what am I suppose to do
you died and i'm here
thinking that i hear your voice,
but it's somebody else
it's always somebody else
why did you die?
don't leave me please
i beg you God tonight bring me peace
i'll never sleep without the dreams of you alive here with me
the brightness left your eyes
as i held your face
don't tell me it's the right time
and your last words will sustain me
until my end...until i see you again
while words (your life) evade me (but a moment)
i'll wait to (i'll cling to) remember you (forever)
and what you had (your words) meant to me (on my blood)
could never be forgotten
the chains (why) of death (don't take)
are falling (away), but my heart still bleeds
it longs for (why) the day (did you die)
when we will be as one

    General Comment:I know it's been a while since anyone commented on this, but I'd like to throw in something to a lot of people. Emery is NOT a Christian band. They are all Christians, yes, and while some of their songs may be based upon Christianity, it does not mean that it's all of them, it does not mean that it's any of them, nor does it mean that none of them are. Thy have stated that they don't want to be labeled as a Christian band, like has been stated before, and that their music is for us to interpret, more or less. So technically, everyone's right.

    Even in their newest CD it's been said that while it's possibly their most spiritual CD yet, the lyrics in it are also about their own religion, their doubts, their troubles, and so forth. So before jumping into a giant fucking crusade, just start respecting what everybody thinks.

    And before all you "satanist/atheistic" pricks start going on about anything more. This is coming from someone who doesn't believe in God, Satan, or even Science. Nihilistic here. Makes me the perfect mediator in my eyes.
    P.S. If you don't know what Nihilist is, it's the belief in nothing.

    General Comment:I think this song is about how he watched somebody he loved died. And he misses them and longs for them. Which explains why he thinks he hears their voice, but it can't be them because they're not alive. He dreams of them being alive. And basically he's asking God to heal him and help him feel better until he dies and is reunited with that person. He's mourning.

    General Comment:As blackfang said, this song is obviously about his grandmother passing. But it does have a Christian influence to it when he says "until I see you again" and "but my heart still bleeds it longs for the day when we will be as one, one, one" talking about meeting again in the afterlife or heaven. Although many songs written by emery can be somewhat interpreted as being about Christ/God, none states it more clear than "the Secret", if your interested.

    My Interpretation:In an interview, Toby said that this song was written in the days after his grandmother died. They were extremely close. It's describing Toby's grandma dying in a hospital, and can apply to any close friend dying.

    General Comment:Give up the debates about religion...I'm not religous but I like this band. You know what I think? I think if people see meanings about Jesus in the lyrics to this song then thats fine. And I think if people see meaninging of a person in their life who died then that is also fine. I think watever you find in the song lyrics is fine and true to you. Who knows what the f.ck most songs are about?! I mean only the person who wrote it knows. And still its what it means to THEM! It can mean different things to different people... and that is the beauty of lyrics lol. Everyone has a different view on things. OK?! And jeesh this song is teh sh.t!
