	sweet song.Sounds absolutley flawless on the album.

No Picture Beaver Average	#4 by Beaver Butt at Sep 5, 1986 at 4:03 PM EST
	two things. one this song is not written like any other in flames song, secondly about the vocals, anders does the lead but if you listen in the background you can hear the female voice, ohh yeah and thirdly, asn american country artist im not sure which one stole the violin lines. now that those are said, i think this is a song about someone who anders had a close relationship with and it didnt work, could be his his parents or a girlfriend. anyway he wants to forgive this person and make everything better. 1 2 Next

	I'm not quite sure about this song, but it sounds like the whole song is based on suicide. It's like talking from the knifes perspective. "You bend me and you shake me, " "you beg me then you break me. " "Let me in, I’ll bury the pain " I think this refering to a struggle with a knife or something. Wanting to kill yourself but can't bring yourself to do it. "You almost made me take it all" means he almost made the knife realy take his life. You get the idea. Not exactly sure about it though. Kick ass song either way.
