| to me this song is about taking the punishment for someone else because you made a promise. whether it's an actual punishment/crime or just methaphorically speaking i don't know. but it's beautiful. probably my favouite Katatonia song. | |

| just to begin picking under the cryptic surface of this song... the 'hero' thing and the action movie feel of the lyrics could be simply a metaphor for some indiscribable feeling...he tries to find words this is all that comes, this is all the evidence... he feels tested... the collapsing bit could relate to him thinking he cant do anything? | |

| I sort of get the impression it's about childbirth. The bond between a mother and her son at birth. "Everything depends upon you, If you die I will die too." - If mum dies, child dies. "I stay too long, something's wrong." The longer the birth process takes, the more risk to the mother. The whole breathing thing is associated with childbirth too. I might be completely wrong, but that's the impression I got from it. | |

| this is one of the best songs on the album. i really enjoy the album, but i think it falls apart about halfway through. i think it's about people who've committed some kind of crime against the state during wartime, and one rolls over on the other to get out of trouble. i also enjoy how katatonia is vague, yet emotionally intense. | |

| you gyes has forgott to mention the stong love in the song. it gives a feeling of he wanting to protect her till the death. he really loves her When I tell you to remember That no one will find you My promise from the heart but in the end of the song he has lost her and it feels like he think its his fault.. very beautiful | |

| When I listen to this song, I imagine a pair of good doers, like super heros, that messed up. Then they reunited to hide something they did. It's pretty intresting, and I bet that's not whats it about. That's what I imagine. | |

| It reminds me of war, almost pre-apocalyptic or something...The "I am the evidence" bit reminds me of being implanted with something, and you are evidence of what we will become. I'm not sure that it's right, but either way, Katatonia give off a very intense emotional scene in this song, it's amazing... | |
