| The lyrics are somehow wrong. the first chorus is set after the second main part and there are missing some lines after the first chorus. and there are also some wrong words. He's singing "And gonna pay" instead of "It slipped away" in the first main part, but "It slipped away" would be correct in the third. and in the second main part he's singing "with the girl i'd love to kill" instead of "i'd like". | |

| hahaha.. it sounds like that.. but it's actually just based on getting into an arguement with a loved one, and wishing they were dead, but then realizing that if they were to die, you'd be devastated. Got that off of an interview with Dryden on some site a long time ago | |

| It's all about this guy being in love with a girl and then murdering her. "I slowly shoot these words like weapons/and go insane" He gets upset with her, and takes it out through verbal abuse and then gets mad at himself. "I watch you drive your stupid car/you go away" She's getting away from him, driving off. "You never were one to use caution" She's not a careful person and keeps getting him upset. "You know i'd love to see it happen" He's strangely attracted to the way she makes him angry. "Happy death day to you now baby/i know you're flying in the blue now/we'll be together real soon now baby don't ya worry/papa's got a brand new body bag for you" She's dead and he's celebrating the day she died, like a birthday. He says he's going to join her too. And the "brand new body bag" is a play on words of that 'papa's got a brand new bag' saying from way back when. "Cable cars run through my mind/reminiscent bay" He's just remembering times together. "I always tried to keep you near me/without the pain" he was kinda obsessed with her, and had a problem with separation anxiety, he was afraid for her to be away from him. "I love to tie us into knots/we slipped away" He tried to get her attached to him, so she would never leave, but he failed. "I tried to captivate you on that evening he was leaving" She was going to leave with another guy, so the singer tried to captivate her and make her stay. "With the girl, i love to kill" Because she didn't want to stay, he killed her, so she could never leave him. That's pretty much it. A cool song, but kind of disturbing, especially in comparison to the tamer songs on the album. aaf's cool, though i hear they're jerks in person. All the bands hated them at Warped Tour. | |

| It's a very sinister song, more so because it sounds like it is a cheery song, judging by the music and the way the chorus resolves in a major key. You could easliy sing along with it then a chill runs through you as you realise what the lyrics are! The guy was consumed with jealousy and imagines killing his girl, even though he loves her still...that's what I think anyway! | |
