You know its all a game.
That we play back and forth.
I leave. You chase.
And were back to square one.
We were not mean to be.
And I tried my best to work it through.
I asked my friends "what should I do?"
There only advice was leaving you.
But im glad I did.
Or at least thats what I tell myself.
I swear to god I never would of known
your face or your name.
If everyday is a constant reminder your a
whore,liar,ghost,harlet.
And its sad to say, that
I still cry to the Bayside CD everyday.
Dont you know that those songs are about you?
Check tracks 8 and 9.
Then call me back.
You ask me "when is it over?"
Over? This isnt over till I say its over.
Back to Square one.
Come On.
That we play back and forth.
I leave. You chase.
And were back to square one.
We were not mean to be.
And I tried my best to work it through.
I asked my friends "what should I do?"
There only advice was leaving you.
But im glad I did.
Or at least thats what I tell myself.
I swear to god I never would of known

Over? This isnt over till I say its over.
Back to Square one.
Come On.

The next song progresses into sadness and bitterness over the loss of everything he had to look forward to ["...please don't ever forget me/ But who am I kidding? I'm so afraid that things will change."] as well as the dead, unborn child. ["I want you to know how it feels to be in love with the ghost that bears your name/...Well, there's one regret we can share/...What shall we name our dead son?"]
The next one is still in the stage of depression, what he thought was 'forever' turned out to be something that disappeared (Hence; title) and hasn't let go ["Take me somewhere familiar/...And I'll ask you/ Why?"] He wonders why she had to lie; the disappointment over her being just another liar and (assuming) cheater. Yet, even through that, he knows they can never completely sever themselves from one another ["Movie quotes and lyrics still connecting us like constellations/ I wonder if I can ever separate myself from this/ And it'll be awhile 'till I can breathe again."] He longs for simpler times, where he didn't have to feel heartache and disappointment.
'Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle' has to be one of the most emotionally powerful songs I have heard from Emmure. The mixture of sadness, hate and anger connects the whole idea all together for a middle song; he thought she was the one, ["And you were all that's left of what was meant to be/...Just where did I go wrong?"] had put her on a pedestal from which she fell from grace ["You made a better trophy in my dreams/ And now you are my nightmare."] and hates her for it ["I hope every morning you wake up/ It hurts more and doesn't stop/ And I hope every night you rest your head/ Lay your head and pray for death."] He just wishes she'd die and wouldn't have to feel anything for her anymore.
The song that follows makes a pitfall into anger once again, just pure hate. ["I just want to rub it in your fucking face/ And make you remember everything."] He's become cynical about the situation and can see that it kills her how he's seemingly moved on, ["Jealousy pouring right through you."] The proceeding song makes a downfall back into his emotions over her but now has become suicidal and fantasizes his death [They will find my corpse on the shower floor/ And with my bleeding wrists/ Will be a note that explains all of this..."] and what it will explain to the friends and family ["I could not live handle the fear and regret/ Knowing I ruined my only chance/ A lesson in carelessness."] He understands the decision will create criticism and justifies it ["I will burn in hell for my selfishness/...I know the backlash/ Call me a coward all you want/ I know the truth and that I am free."]
The last song is obvious in tying the last thread together, "When Everything Goes Wrong, Take The Easy Way Out", with him going through with the suicide ["I will kill myself/ If it means nothing else will keep me from sleeping tonight."] He has come to the point to where he feels to the core that she's ruined and killed any emotion he may have been able to salvage as well as himself. ["Leave me alone/ You did enough to ruin me/ My broken soul couldn't take another day..."] and with one final plea to God asks to be accepted into heaven, even though he is committing suicide. ["God, if you can hear me/ Open the gates."]
...At least, that's my opinion about the album.
Fail.
What is this, 2003?
certainly not one of the better tracks
(but then, this is the one that got the video, right??? I rest my case. Victory made them write a single.. . . .and a ballad)
I also get a different vibe from this than the comments I have read. I don't see this as an "oh we're going out, not going out, staying together, etc." kind of song at all. I get a much more sinister vibe from it. It sounds like she's cheated and lied to him and up until now he's put up with it, but now he's fed up with her games, and he's punishing her. Maybe literally he's punishing her by staying because she hates him, but, just from the lyrics and video alone, it seems like he's torturing or killing her. The lines "You ask me "when is it over?"/Over? This isnt over till I say its over." sound pretty serial killer-ish to me.
But that's just my take on it.
Another thing; if you hate a band so much and you think they're all fagots or whatnot, then why do you spend your precious time bashing their lyrics on a lyric site? Why even look them up? Personally, I hate the Jonas Brothers. Do I go around calling them fagots on forums? No. I have better things to do. Your comments just make YOU look stupid. I'm not trying to attack you at all, I'm just saying.
but the lyrics stink,so maybe the music of this album and the lyrics of the new shit you'd have..a normal hardcore or metalcore or whatever fuckin genre i say is gonna get me yelled at so whatever band they are
