Lacuna Coil – Within Me

• 0
  My Interpretation:Guys this is my detailed interpretention based on my previous comment! I hope I help! :-)
  
  Something about you that makes me feel bad
  I wasn't there when a thin line destroyed your soul (The band wasn't near their friend to help him deal with his problems, his drug addiction and they weren't there when the thin line, the syringe, killed his soul, destroyed him and leaded him to suicide)
  
  I search every corner
  There's nowhere to hide
  How I feel ignorance sacrifice (his drug addiction made him ignorant of everything around him but his love to friends and family an his will not to worry them made him not ask for help and hide his problems)
  Some days it's harder
  Let's face it, it's all about me
  Deeply into your own (This is about the remorse and the worry his friends felt that they could'nt support him. All his problems were deep in their minds)
  
  Deep within me
  Life's crawling and wasting my days (this about his problems that lead him to drugs and death. He felt that his life is "crawling" he is not truly living his life and he knew that all this situation slowly killed him)
  Another night gone and I know there will be another way
  I'm leading myself to be free
  In this eternal goodbye (He just couldn't stand life any more and decided to die. All his problems made him think there's no future ahead while his drug addiction would kill him anyway. He thought he could'nt break out of this vicious cirle an ended it so as not to suffer anymore and also hurt the ones he loved)
  
  Something about you will make me stronger
  Now I'm aware when a man falls rebound, my fault (It is about the band's guilt about his death,that they actually didn't help him....This made them stronger and tightened their bonds...Let alone it created this AWSOME song ;-) )
  
  Here I wanna be
  No more lies! (This is about the mentioned before 'eternal goodbye'. There he knows he will be free and happy.. :-( )
  
  This is a really touching song about a man that died in such a way... This I think raises awareness about drug addiction and the depression that leads you there and then the whole vicious circle. This man died so as not to let them kill him and so as not to suffer and hurt beloved ones... People should learn that DRUGS AREN'T A WAY TO ESCAOE THEY JUST IMPRISON YOU EVEN MORE...This man realized that and paid with his life...It is time to do sth!

  My Interpretation:“Within Me” was a song that we wrote for a friend that basically, it was not suicide, but basically he let himself go by using drugs a lot. He passed away 3 or 4 years ago now. The fact that we couldn’t do anything. It was not suicide but it was just abusing so he let himself go in a way that we couldn't do anything to help him out. He was in New York and we in Italy so it was tough to stay with him. We were on tour, we had other things to do. So, the idea was that sometimes you want to be there for your friends but you can’t be there. That time we were not there we lost him. It was the first time that happened to us as a band, that you know somebody and work with him and he died like that, in a stupid way. So we learned to be stronger people with that. We learned to deal with situation that you can’t always have control of." That's what Andrea said for the song!

  General Comment:I thinks its about how she has just broken up with someone, "In this eternal goodbye", and she is trying to deal with it, but its very hard, and she finds it depressing, "...Just nowhere to hide...Life’s crawling and wasting my days Another night gone and I know there will be another way"

  General Comment:To me this song is about understanding what's important in life. A person was too busy to help out a friend when they needed them ("Something about you that makes me feel bad. I wasn’t there when a thin line destroyed your soul") and how they feel regret because of that. But, they've learned from their mistake and it made the experience made them stronger ("Something about you will make me stronger. Now I’m aware when a man falls rebound, my fault"). Now they've accepted what they feel is their fault and begin to understand what's important in life and will do better next time around ("Here I want to be. No More Lies")

  General Comment:this song is amazing. Andrea said it was about a friend who died from drug use. he said that with the band and touring and everything, you can't always be there for your friends and the people you love. and this person died from drugs and they couldn't do anything to help him, but they became stronger from it

  General Comment:I take this as two people in some sort of relationship. One seems depressed while the other just wants to help. The depressed one starts realizing how much she's just wasting her days. And everything is always about her because she's always sad. She wants to just be free and say goodbye to the sorrow.

  General Comment:this song is about regret. someone saw something a certain way. they revealed this insight to another person and totally killed their mindset on life, basically ruining all they had to live for, and now that persons wishes they never chose to do so since they destroyed someone they cared about. the other person still exhists, but it seems that they are scarred and seek an escape from this inevitable truth. possibly death.
  
  definitely one of my favorites. it hurts to listen to, but it's so beautiful that i can't mind. don't know about it being about a relationship, but cristina&andrea definitely represent two different people.

  General Comment:I think this song does have to do with a relationship, with Andi and Cristina portraying the external and internal monologues we all carry on with ourselves. Whether this would be a healthy relationship or not depends on your perspective, but I think it has a lot to do with growing up and maturing and realizing your actions and words have a more significant meaning than we often put on them.
  
  In the first verse, the lyrics could be talking about this person realizing their conduct has deeply wounded someone they care about, and no matter how much they try to hide, they can't suppress their feelings of shame and remorse for their behavior. The chorus could mean they've been wasting all this time trying to justify what they've done, but in the end they wind up back at the same place they started from, afraid they've lost this special, one-of-a-kind individual permanently.
  
  The second verse could be dealing with this person finally coming to terms with their feelings, no matter how much they try to hide and push them away. They truly care for this individual, they feel like they could take on the world with him/her at their side. They're struggling to tell the person that they were wrong, that they do still care, and in the end ("Here I wanna be. No more lies!") they finally decide to stop living a lie and just tell the person their real feelings.

    I'd have to say this is the most spot-on interpretation I've read of this song , based on the lyrics and the mood they carry. Great job :]

  General Comment:I have listened to this song a lot and although I can't draw a conculsion like meaning, I can hopefulyl get pretty close. So, I think there was a person. Who loved another. The singer. Whatever. And then they suddenly stopped or admitted that they didn't love them. And the singer and struggling to break free of loving this person.
