I saw the clouds forming tornadoes in the sky
The winter winds blew on lake Michigan that night
I carved your name into my arm
So I would remember you

Sometimes it hurts so bad
I don't know what to say
Enacting Sybil Bane
In some tragic play

So afraid that I can't ever explain

So now I Scream!
And hope its a dream
It's hard just to breathe
When we said goodbye
Oh

I want to sleep
But there are nightmares when I try
The birds are circling,
I know the reasons why
Maybe a sad song some time
Will make you remember me

Somehow I feel that it's my destiny to fall
Get dried and hung up on a gallery wall
Holding on
By just a thread to my heart

So I scream
And hope that its a dream
It's hard just to breathe
When we said goodbye

Oh
Scream
It's not what it seems!
I still can't believe,
That we said goodbye
Oh

From now on when I think of you
I scream

    General Comment:I plan on covering this song in the future and singing it on stage, whenever someone precious to me disappears from my life.

    My Opinion:When I hear the beginning, I think the singer(Matt) is at a funeral, because his girlfriend or lover was recently killed in a plane crash. He sings this song and everytime he thinks of her or hears her name, he wants to scream cause he misses her and wishes she were still with him.

    General Comment:Yes, I'm guessing is a pretty straight-forward song about this couple and how they broke up, but you never know...it could mean much more.

    "I carved your name into my arm
    So I would remember you"

    Favorite lyrics, this just adds to the deepness to the love he feels for the girl...I don't think it's just a figure of speech, though, I think he actually is depressed enough about the break-up to actually carve her name in to his wrist, it seems to suit the mood of the song perfectly.

    Awesome song. Awesome band.
    They are a little bit quiet for my tastes, but I don't care, they're still one of my favorites.

    General Comment:this song to me it means the guy let the gurl who he loved go and he regrets it soo bad it hurts to think of how much of an idiot he was and he hopes hes dreaming and it isnt reality! so he screams to let go of the pain of letting her go! and hes hoping she thinks of him even if its only coz of a sad song...

    and he think its his destiny to be sad and alone

    so even though time will pass he still gnna scream coz he was a total idiot=/

    General Comment:when he says
    "i carved your name into my arm so i would remember you"
    is that about him cutting himself
    or is it just a figure of speach? ? ?

    General Comment:Has anyone ever tried to understand what's ACTUALLY being said at the piano solo?
    It sounds like a report of an airline attempting a landing during a snowstorm in Chicago, and the plane collides with a Southwest Airlines jet, then with some sort of vehicle being hit afterwards. Someone ends up dying in the whole mess.
    That's all I've been able to make out of the intro..

    General Comment:Does anyone know what is being said at the beginning of the song during the piano-ness? I am at a total loss.
