I won't forget the day that, that I came to
And I started thinking that there's more
than just perfect prom queens and silver spoons.
And all i ever wanted was someone to
Love me back to the bliss of ignorance
cause I feel like running head first into traffic
And so I'm here to say,
that thoughts enbed with pain.
I won't forget the day that, that I found god
In a kitchen knife now, inked on my arm.
So paint the pale white floor with, with my red blood
And now my selfish pain is, the pain I love
As I swallow the pills of happiness
and you watch me fall like New York in an earthquake.
And so I'm here to say,
that thoughts enbed with pain.
I stand outside of my pretty house
I light a match to start the fire
I call the cops to let them know
It's 22 Walthuree Ave.
as I thought I wanted this
I thought I wanted this.
(I'm here to say)
I said I wanted some more attention
I thought I wanted a story ending.
(I love the pain, I hate the pain)
I just give in.
I think that the truth is I'm scared
I think I'm just scared to live
I think that the truth is I'm scared
I think that the truth is I'm everything that I hate.
And I started thinking that there's more
than just perfect prom queens and silver spoons.
And all i ever wanted was someone to
Love me back to the bliss of ignorance
cause I feel like running head first into traffic
And so I'm here to say,
that thoughts enbed with pain.
I won't forget the day that, that I found god
In a kitchen knife now, inked on my arm.
So paint the pale white floor with, with my red blood
And now my selfish pain is, the pain I love
As I swallow the pills of happiness
and you watch me fall like New York in an earthquake.
And so I'm here to say,
that thoughts enbed with pain.
I stand outside of my pretty house
I light a match to start the fire
I call the cops to let them know
It's 22 Walthuree Ave.
as I thought I wanted this
I thought I wanted this.
(I'm here to say)
I said I wanted some more attention
I thought I wanted a story ending.
(I love the pain, I hate the pain)
I just give in.
I think that the truth is I'm scared
I think I'm just scared to live
I think that the truth is I'm scared
I think that the truth is I'm everything that I hate.

This songs obviously about him having some kind of girl trouble and then trying to commit suicide but can't bring him self to do it, because he found god or something. (That's what I got from it)
"In a kitchen knife and on my arm
So paint the pail white floor with
With my red life"
He's talking about cutting himself; and the red life is blood.
"As I swallow the pills happiness
And you watch me fall like
New York in an earthquake"
The pills are him overdosing on something.Then the falling could either mean him jumping off of a building or falling from the pills; couldn't decide.
"I stand outside my pretty house
I light a match to start the fire
I called the cops to let em know
It's 22 Walthery Ave"
Then he lights his house on fire because he realises what he's done was wrong and wants to start over.
"I'm here to say
I said I wanted some more attention
I thought I wanted a story ending"
He wanted more attention and thought suicide would get him that.
"I think the truth is I'm scared
I think that I'm just scared to live
I think that the truth is
I'm everything that I hate"
This pretty much speaks for itself.
That I came to
And I started thinking that there's more
Than just perfect prom queens and silver spoons
(*he sorta 'wakes up' to the world and the things that matter*)
And all I ever wanted
Was someone
To knock me back to
The bliss of ignorance
Cause I feel like running head first into traffic
(*He just wants to go back to being oblivious to everything and being happy again because he hates the feeling of the new relization*)
And so I'm here to say
That thoughts in bed with pain
(*the more he things about everything the more he hurts*)
I won't forget the day that
That I found God
In a kitchen knife and on my arm
So paint the pail white floor with
With my red life
(*cutting to release pain/other feelings(thats what i get)*)
And tell me that this pain is
The pain you love
As I swallow the pills happiness
And you watchy me fall like
New York in an earthquake
(*He tries to be happy again but he feels like hes falling deeper into pain*)
I stand outside my pretty house
I light a match to start the fire
I called the cops to let em know
It's 22 Walthery Ave
(*he lights his house on fire burning everthing he has and knows*)
I thought I wanted this
I'm here to say
I said I wanted some more attention
I thought I wanted a story ending
I think the truth is I'm scared
I think that I'm just scared to live
I think that the truth is
I'm everything that I hate
(*Hes scared to start over after all of the things that have happened and doesnt want to let go of the past*)
thats my interpitation so if you dont llike oh well:P
It's a pretty self explanatory song.
In Camp Sleepaway, it's revealed the main character is a man rather then a female.
It's symbolic, obviously, when it's referred to in the song title.
"I won't forget the day that
That I came to
And I started thinking that there's more
Than just perfect prom queens and silver spoons"
He realizes that there is more than just materialistic things in his life.
"all I ever wanted
Was someone
To knock me back to
The bliss of ignorance
Cause I feel like running head first into traffic"
He know that all this time he has been doing the wrong thing and now feels like crap and wants to go back when he didnt understand.
"And so I'm here to say
That thoughts in bed with pain
I won't forget the day that
That I found God
In a kitchen knife and on my arm
So paint the pail white floor with
With my red life"
He resorts to self-mutilation. when he says he found god he means like cutting was like his savior at that point
"And tell me that this pain is
The pain you love
As I swallow the pills happiness
And you watchy me fall like
New York in an earthquake"
this can mean either two things. He has been taking drugs to make him "happy" or is trying to stop the depression with anti-depressant pills
"I stand outside my pretty house
I light a matchto start the fire
I called the cops to let em know
It's 22 Walthery Ave"
this doesnt necessarily mean he burned his house down. He wanted to just start over and wanted people to know that he knows hes made mistakes and hes going to fix them
"I thought I wanted this
I'm here to say
I said I wanted some more attention
I thought I wanted a story ending"
He thought that he wanted the material life and wanted to be the main person in the group and wanted everything to be perfect"
"I think the truth is I'm scared
I think that I'm just scared to live
I think that the truth is
I'm everything that I hate"
He is scared to go on the way he has been and that he might not be able to change it. Hes seen what he had become and is scared of what other mistakes he might make in the future
first I ever heard of senses and im still inlove. let it enfold you is still their best album in my eyes although I bough 'life is not a waiting room' a few months back at it absolutely blew me away.
I kinda wish they stayed the same and kept the screaming but I guess if bands don't change it up and grow up with fans people get bored.
anyways a couple of these lyrics are wrong. :\
I always though it was "so paint the pale white floor with my red blood" not red life?
and its "the pain I love" not "the pain you love"
also you missed out the screaming part
"I love the pain, I hate the pain I. I love the pain I hate the pain I, I just can't win"
incredible song. I can't even explain how it makes me feel. makes me wanna mosh :)
senses fail ftw (L)
that not everyone has good in them.
and he isnt sure how to deal with it.
he's scared he'll end up like them or worse.
senses fail is the best
