| First of all, I feel so bad for mwY because the situation he is singing about was something out of his control, and yet he is so hard on himself for it. (The cure for pain is in the pain, so it’s there that you will find me.) Obviously, he is experiencing some overwhelming turmoil in his life and he’s trying to disconnect himself from his reality by concentrating on the pain. (Until again I forget, and again he reminds me.) He will drift back to reality, but he knows, perhaps by the Lord’s urging, that he has not cured the pain. (Hear my voice in your head, and think of me kindly.) He hears it, and he understands what he’s being told, but it’s such a sensitive area,,which would be why it says ‘think of me kindly’. Because, it’s so hard to do, like cutting open a freshly healed wound because you know that there is a infection deep within that could take your life. lol Sorry about the needless metaphores…onwards now. (Lowered down like a casket and buried just below her chest.) He will most definitely be going through a period of depression. He feels confined, restricted and lacking of personal freedom.He knows that the situation he speaks of is already dead, slowly decaying and he has to put an end to it. (Whatever I was searching for, it was never you, she said.) Obviously, she is the dumper, and he is the dumpee’. (The record ended long ago, but we go on dancing nonetheless.) Whatever enjoyment or sensual pleasure they got from that relationship, it has ended, nonetheless they pretend that everything is harmonious between them, that they are freely enjoying the happiness and sensuality of the intimate union of a male and female…and of course, they aren’t. (I opened like a locket.) He opened himself up, exposing his gentle heart…now burnt and bruised. (If you are ever cold, I wrote, there’s warmth inside me.) He lets her know that there is hope for this relationship, and that he has unconditional love for her. (I’m the pocket of an old winter coat.) He also lets her know that he has hidden parts of himself from her, and that some things about him are undeveloped. He’s strong and will work at the relationship with his full potential, but he still feels down on himself.(But where she used to say, I need you, now…I don’t.) Again, he tells us that she rejected him. (You’d only make the softest sound, like sugar pouring into tea.) She pleased him and he enjoyed her, but now he must deny her. He was satisfied and content in their slow relationship, but now he has to end it fast. He wants some more time to indulge in their love, but he knows…they’ve pretended for long enough. (Darling, let yourself pour down and dissolve into the Love that revealed himself there quietly to me.) One last wish for her to turn to the Lord so that she may be saved, and perhaps so that when she is reborn she may turn once more to him. Perhaps that is what split them up, because it is written that two with different gods cannot be yoked together. Perhaps, if she turned to the Lord, she would also turn to him, and he may once again be yoked to her. ((Jesus have mercy on us.)) Jesus have mercy on him with his pain, and her with her ignorance. | |

| "The cure for pain, is in the pain, so it's there that you'll find me..." From what I can gather, this song is about receiving solace and consolation from life's rough spots through the pain of Jesus Christ. His blood poured out for us. It's about how he struggles to keep this fact in mind while maintaining a relationship with a woman, and asking for mercy once he comes to the realization anew. | |

| What wristmeetsrazor didn't tell you is that whilst he was repeatedly playing their music "over adn over" he was also masterbating. The singer of the band does wonders for our friend here, and nothing will turn him on more than a man up on stage sweaty and singing. His homosexuality cannot be hidden any longer, and it becomes obvious to all that are near him when his pants move as the singer sings. | |

| My shit may have been ruined, but at least i am not a compulsive masterbater whom cannot control his playing with his cock. Every time a male comes within 30 feet of Wristmeetsrazor his hand meets his cock. His tiny throbbing muscle in his pants wants nothing more than to slip into the warmth a mans ass can provide, however his fascination with male on male sex has led him to become an outcast amongst his peers, and no one will take him places for fear of a streched anus the following morning. Thus his only "friends" are females, simply because he has nothing to offer them. All of his sexual energies are concentrated on males. Ruined, shit. | |

| what killculture didnt tell you is that he is the one whose pants are moving during his repetitive listening to underoath. nothing gets him going more than a christian all sweaty AND hot during a live preformance. the drummer of underoath gets him going the most because of his amazing stickwork AND killculture just sits there AND fantasizes about those drumsticks being his cock. his homosexuality cannot be hidden any longer because his ways have become too flamboyant for them to be hidden any longer. now you fellow readers have the real truth. killculture's shit has now been officially been ruined. | |
