Yeah ho
Yeah ho

The faint blaze of the candle of my life
Slowly dying like a fire in a pouring rain
No sparks of hope inside
No shooting stars on my sky
On broken wings, no flying high

Another night, another demise
Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice
You'll let the wind blow out the light
'Cause it gets more painful everytime I die

Out of strength to fight
I cannot take another night
I cannot take it no more
Lust of light slips through my fingers
Like blood on my arms
Black candle wax has buried me

Another night, another demise
Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice
You'll let the wind blow out the light
'Cause it gets more painful everytime I die

    General Comment:It's a good song but, come on, let's not kid ourselves here: Alexi is no lyrical mastermind.

    My Interpretation:The last two lines of the chorus sound like what someone would say who'd had several near-death experiences and was declaring DNR.

    General Comment:Children of Bodom are a "I Hate You!" sort of band and they show that so uniquely. In Your Face and Everytime I die are perfect examples.

    General Comment:"Jesus christ, half the interpretations make this song sound emo."

    That's quite the immature thing to say. So what if the songs about depression and wanting to die? It can definately be interpreted that way.

    General Comment:Jesus christ, half the interpretations make this song sound emo.
    It's not really about depression or suicide or anything
    it's about living a wasted life. It's about being someone who can't hope to achieve
    it's simply about recognizing failure for what it is.

    No sparks of hope inside,
    no shooting stars on my sky,
    On broken wings, no flying high...
    pretty much seems like it's more of the whole 'Well I'm pretty much fucked now' attitude. not self pity or any of that depression.
