Bring Me the Horizon – Don't Go

• 0
  My Interpretation:[I was raised in the valley, there was shadows and death
  Got out alive but with scars I can't forgetThis kid back in school, subdued and shy An orphan and a brother and unseen by most eyes
  I don't know what it was that made a piece of him die]
  
  A brief description of the murderer of Terry Hurst
  
  [Took a boy to the forest, slaughtered him with a scythe
  Stamped on his face, an impression in the dirt
  Do you think the silence makes a good man convert?]
  
  the murderer killed Terry
  
  [We all have our horrors and our demons to fight
  But how can I live when I'm paralysed?
  They crawl up on my bed, wrap their fingers 'round my throat
  Is this what I get for the choices that I've made?
  God forgive me, for all my sins
  God forgive me, for everything
  God forgive me, for all my sins
  God forgive me
  God forgive me]
  
  i dont know if he is indicating something related to Terry's death here, but he asking for forgiveness and talking about how his conscience is getting the best of him.
  
  [Don't go, I can't do this on my own
  Don't go, I can't do this on my own
  Save me from the ones that haunt me in the night
  I can't live with myself, so stay with me tonight
  Don't go
  Don't go]
  
  here is where i think the love comes in. he is saying this to the person he loves. "Don't go" as in he really needs her.
  
  [If I let you in you'll just want out
  If I tell you the truth you'll vie for a lie
  If I spilt my guts, it would make a mess we can't clean up
  If you follow me you will only get lost
  If you try to get closer we'll only lose touch
  But you already know too much
  And you're not going anywhere]
  
  this is the girls reply, saying that they love and NEED each other even though being together is not a good thing.
  
  [Tell me that you need me 'cause I love you so much
  Tell me that you love me 'cause I need you so much
  Tell me that you need me 'cause I love you so much
  Say you'll never leave me 'cause I need you so much]
  
  both have conflicted past or perhaps present problems, but they are pleading each other to not leave because they love each other.
  
  [Don't go, I can't do this on my own
  Don't go, I can't do this on my own
  Save me from the ones that haunt me in the night
  I can't live with myself, so stay with me tonight
  Don't go, I can't do this on my own
  Don't go, I can't do this on my own
  Save me from the ones that haunt me in the night
  I can't live with myself, so stay with me tonight
  Don't go
  
  Don't go
  Don't go
  Don't go
  Don't go
  Don't go
  Don't go]
  
  DONT GO

  General Comment:This is an example to all the people out there who say that songs with screamed vocals are a bunch of meaningless, unemotional rubbish.

  Song Meaning:A 17-year old boy (Terry Hurst) was murdered by 3 friends on a overnight camping trip. Terry was bullied, had learning difficulties, and was orphan as well as his brothers. The three "friends" tricked him. Took him to a forest. They knew he was defenseless. Put a plastic bad around his head. Repeatedly stabbed him 60+ times with 5 ft. scythes. Stomped on him. Let him there to rot. No one knew why they did it. One of the murderers was Ollie's (BMTH lead singer) cousin.

    Why is everybody saying that one of the murderes is Oli's cousin? How the hell you know that? The sory is true indeed. But how are u so sure theyre cuosins? or they even knew each other at all? Maybe this song isnt about that story, anyway we all can think a different meaning to the song. Thats what they made them for.

  General Comment:This song is about a kid Oliver knew in school, and as it is said in the first verse he was taken to the forest and murdered alive. Thats the main thing about this song.

  General Comment:You can feel from frontman's voice here, the pain and agony
  When he sings "Don't go!" with very high emotion

  General Comment:It was one of his cousins and his friends, for fun they thought the should befriend this guy with no friends. they then offered to go camping with him. Once there they scythed him to death, leaving one of the scythes embedded/lodged in him. the full news report is here news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/… << the 2nd half of the first verse almost follows these words exactly.
