Lyrics for Into The Night as interpreted by ScreamingInfidelity

Into The Night Lyrics
If I was a fly
And I had a day left ‘til I died
I would lay down til tomorrow
You’re clipping my wings
I try to win you back with all my words that you know mean nothing
You could have believed in me
And I saw a tear on a rose and I clipped it off for you
As I gag on my guts ‘cause I’m watching you give up
I’m a tear in the clock as you walk away
I can almost taste the glaze on your lips
Smacking away into the night
They say at least he’s my friend
And he’ll treat you kindly in the end
Call me bitter but I’m brimming with hate for both of you
A film if playing in my head of you fornicating in his bed
The satin sheets are ruby red like your nails that scarred my back
And I saw a tear on a rose so I swept it off for you
I’m a fly on a wall and I’m watching you give up
I’m a tear in the clock as you walk away
I can almost see a shade of your blue eyes
Fading away into the night
You never believed in me
But I will believe in me
Because now I take a match to the rose that I gave, my love, to you
Won’t forgive
Won’t forget
And the rage will lift me up
I hope you choke on his tongue
As I walk away I will not watch his hands as they deftly pull you away
Into the night

It's pretty obvious what this song is about. It's a cliched topic, but it's very powerful to hear it come from Max. When it gets to the "AND I SAW A TEAR ON A ROSE..." That's the part that always gets me.

this song describes a relationship i once had. i dated a guy, we broke up, and 6 months later i started seeing his friend. i know when my ex hears this song, he directs it towards me.


but in my honest opinion, this is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard..ever. it goes through the motions of how someone feels when they are no longer in a relationship with someone but they still love them, and their love can turn to hate in the end...they no longer care

my favorite line "The satin sheets are ruby red like your nails that scarred my back"...kinda sexual i must say.

but back to the song, its not like the other say anything songs, its max at a calm.


beautiful.

"And I saw a tear on a rose and I clipped it off for you"


...isn't it "And I saw a tear on a rose and I swept it off for you?"

I've been listening to the discography of this band, and after three albums, I'm at this song, and it hits me. "This guy can't write". I mean, sure, a few of the songs are exceptions, most notably so far are "Alive with the Glory of Love" and "Wow..." but really, lines like "I'm a tear in the clock as you walk away"? Does this imagery make any sense? I don't think so. It's a shame, like a lot of bands, they have a decent enough sound, but suffer from basic writing problems such as bad imagery, disjointed verses, and false rhymes.

Honestly? You truly don't think Max Bemis can write? You must enjoy Yellowcard's lyrics. Because most people with a functioning mind can connect the imagery of "I'm a tear in the clock as you walk away" as Max feels like he is the tear in the clock, as if time is stopping and nothing is moving as he's watching her walk away from him. If you notice he says tear as in rip not tear as in cry. People like you are why I wish SM didn't have a comment board and why I enjoy AP so much much more.

it is ridiculous for anyone to berate max beims' lyrics seeing as he is up there with one of the most talented lyricists of all time.
bear in mind also that he was 17 when he wrote this album which in itself is an incredible feat

I think this song, including the lyrics, is totally beautiful. It's so different to the other Say Anything songs i've heard.
