  General Comment:Personally, i think this is Chris getting so down by the lies and the faults of the world. But he has a glimmer of hope (love, being that a lover or his music or whatever) that saves him from killing himself.
  
  He has said in interviews that if he didn't have IAMX he would have killed himself long ago.
  
  I just have to say 'If i have to switch the lights off, i want to switch them off with you' gives me deep chills every time i listen to this amazing song.
  Words. Can't. Describe.

  General Comment:i think its about a person trying to stop their lover from comiting suicide.
  Also, i think he says "and now your safe" not "and now you save", which would make sence if the lover has succeded in convincing their boy friend/girl friend to live, and so they now can live to "love again".
  anyway i still love this song and its lyrics so much.

  General Comment:This song is sung in several variations... another verse in an alternative version:
  It's just (as soon affection?) (to sanctify?) addiction
  A protest and ragged ache to fill the holes
  There's the aggravation that wears you down
  'Cause there's at least a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground
  
  I think this song is about what Nietzsche calls Master and Slave morality, but mostly the latter. Slaves are resentful of their chains; they don't think they should have any chains. Rousseau warns not to confuse freedom with license though. Religion is the worst of slave moralities. You are a subject of god(s). I believe IAMX sings for a pretty specific audience; mainly those who do not fulfill the epitome of dominant sexual values and gender roles. cf. "president" by IAMX and Metric's song "IOU" on the album "Old World Underground, Where are you now?" Those to not follow the herd have a more difficult life, a lonelier life. IAMX is constantly encouraging those who resist to enjoy the resistance they give and get and to take what they get with a grain of salt, as they say, because those who give usually aren't of much consequence...

  General Comment:The songs speaks of many deep and troubling things about our present world. Messiah's and Jesus; all alluding to individuals who are supposed to bring humanity to a state of perfection and peace, yet coupled with Glitz and Supermarket, the ideas seem to embody something horrific. Perfection through glitz, peace through the supermarket - frightening. Fear and despair encircling us all. Chris is pointing out how the walls are closing in, if you just opened your eyes and took a good look at the world around you, you would not waste another day. You would love like there was no tomorrow, because there very well could not be.

  General Comment:I personally think it's listing all the things that are wrong with the world, and saying that you have basically no choice but to love, because it is the only chance in hell you have of leading a somewhat happy life, you're only chance of survival almost. Excruciatingly morbid and beautiful.

  General Comment:This song makes me cry too :[ It's beautiful and reminds me of someone... I think it's about trying to convince someone to not commit suicide too.

  General Comment:I think it's someone trying to stop someone commiting suicide;
  "And if you want an ending to your screenplay life,
  Well here's the consolation that will change your heart and mind"
  And they're just listing the reasons you should keep on living =]
  Good song.
