Send "Botchla" Ringtone to Cell

but i adore her
this will never happen
but i adore her
that will never happen
over my dead body
of course i think about it
burn my path if it does
shape my body as i feel
torn
shape my body as i feel
torn broken
and if it happends
ill burn and crawl deeper
in my hole
darkness always says hello
and your burning body will light my way
burning body light my way

    General Comment:It's about infatuation and obsession (with a girl) I think. My interpretation:

    --------------------
    "But I adore her"
    It's her I want, why can't it be someone else?

    "This will never happen"
    I'm not good enough to be with her/for her to notice me. She won't ever love me.

    "Over my dead body"
    It can't happen because I'm so emotionally fucked. I won't allow her to get close to me and realise how dark and perverse I am.

    "Of course I think about it"
    I've envisaged and imagined a relationship with her countless times and this is the only conclusion I can come to.

    "Burn my path if it does"
    If she gets close to me then let me die rather than share with her the pain I've experienced.

    "Shape my body as I feel torn... broken"
    Help me rebuild my life as I've let these tortuous feelings consume my very essence.

    "If it happens I'll burn and crawl deeper in my hole"
    The feeling of rejection has been too prominent to relinquish and I will desperately salvage what I have, even if it's nothing.

    "Darkness always says Hello"
    My pain has become too familiar to part with and is always there, more than any person ever can be.

    "Your burning body will light my way"
    The sacrifice of her memory is necessary to move on and regather the threads of my life.
    --------------------

    Awesome song.

    General Comment:so much passion in the song, I love it. I to adore another and sometimes you have to come to terms and realize it's not gonna happen, I think that's when you get pissed off and begin writing ha-ha

    General Comment:i think its about a guy that adores a girl but knows if they get together they are just going to spiral down to their ultimate demise.

    General Comment:Agreed. The intensity in his voice when he screams "but i adore her" is amazing.
    I love this song. And yeah i think its pretty much about love or crushing, but knowing that it shouldnt happen at all.
