1,2,3...

and if i could swim,
i'd swim out to you in the ocean,
swim out to where you were floating,
in the dark,
and if i was blessed,
id walk on the water youre breathin,
to lend you some air for that heavin sunken chest,
cause they chose you as the model for their empty little dreams,
with your new head and your legs spread like a filthy magazine,
and they hunt you and they gut you and you give in,
and if i was brave,
id climb up to you on the mountain,
they led you to drink from their fountain,
spouting lies,
and id slay the horrible beast they commissioned,
to steer me away from my mission to your eyes,
and i'd stand there like a soldier with my foot upon his chest,
with my grin spread and my arms out in my bloodstained sundays best,
and you'd hold me,
i'd remind you,
who you are, under their shelves...

i'd walk through hell for you,
let it burn right through my shoes,
these soles are useless without you,
through hell for you,
let the torturing ensue my soul is useless without you...

and if they send a whirlwind id hug it like a harmless little tree,
or an earthquake,
i'd calm it,
and i'd bring you back to me,
and i'd hold you in my weak arms like a firstborn...

i'd walk through hell for you,
let it burn right through my shoes,
these soles are useless without you,
through hell for you,
let the torturing ensue my soul is useless without you...

Now id walk through hell for you.
Whats an adventurer to do but rest these feet at home with you?

    My Interpretation:This song to me is about a guy that wants to show a girl her true worth. She keeps getting sucked in by guys that just tell her shit she wants to hear so they can get with her. She always gives in and hopes for the best, but it always ends the same. She doesn't think she's anything special to anyone, not even herself. This guy wants to show her how special she truly is and how he'll treat her right and not take advantage of her like the other guys. In a few words. It's about true love and opening someones eyes that they're more special than they think.

    General Comment:My personal interpretation of the song is that he has experienced love for a girl who has gone to live in a hell-like sort of world. (It seems that she may possibly be a drug user, maybe a model for the centerfold or some other degrading and sleazy job, and have very love self-esteem) He wants to be in her life, and therefore he has to come into that hell in order to make her realize that there's something better out there... That the expectations of the people in her life aren't rational and that she does not have a price tag attached. To make her understand that she is her own person and she can have a great life like anybody should deserve.

    My Interpretation:This song is awesome. I haven't heard it for a while, and I just started listening to it again. In my opinion, its about a guy who would do anything for a girl, regardless of what he loses because all he wants is her. He can't live without her, and he is saying he will go through the worst torture imaginable for a human to have her. Great song. Says a lot.

    General Comment:I'm so glad to have found this song again! When I first looked at the lyrics, I saw the song as the girl being suicidal and trying to drown herself. The first few lines seem to support it, but I haven't quite compared that translation to lines afterward. (Except for the chorus maybe. Most religions condemn suicide as a sin. Some think you could go to hell for it.)

    General Comment:I LOVE this song My friend and I both do. My friend is dealing with a lot and last year she came out of the closet and told me she was bisexual. She had feelings for me because I stood beside her during her hardships. I don't feel them same way about her and she is fine with it and we are still best friends. My mother, doesn't know she is bi and has feeling for me, doesn't like her and doesn't let me talk to her much anymore. She moved away and we talk in secret via e-mail with the rare phone call. She sent me this song and she told me that it reminds her of how even when life got rough I bent over backwards t keep her from depression. I know she would do the same for me if i ever needed her help. :)
