	hey yeah son you got the name wrong on this one

No Picture NICK Wanna Be	#2 by NICK COGHLAN at May 20, 2006 at 1:38 PM EST
	It reminds me of Romeo And Juliet. Especially the "drink the poison" and "stabbing yourself" and "tragic endings" thing. But I also just love the whole feel of the song...it could refer to something else enitrely; it could stand alone, even with the references.

No Picture nick Average	#3 by nick coffeen at May 21, 2006 at 10:23 PM EST
	Its about a girl that is a bit of a drama queen. One of those people that are only happy when everything is going wrong. So he's sick of trying to make her happy, so he's just being honest. " I'm stabbing through your bleeding heart. I will tell the truth but I can't help myself". "Verona lives inside of you" just is refering to how big she makes things seem, because romeo and juilet where both very over dramatic. Well that's at least what I think.

No Picture Kieran Average	#4 by Kieran Molloy at Jun 20, 2006 at 11:40 AM EST
	i think its about this guy who asks his girl something, and she shoots him down with low blows, and hes down for good now. idk if thats right, i just heard the song yesterday.

	i totally get how u guys think it is about romeo and juliet--it basically has many parts dealing with it...they do that alot, like already dead reminds me of Macbeth in some ways, like the lyrics "you shook my hand and thought i was ur friend, i was planning your final struggle"..if uve read both R&J and Macbeth, u will realize it...its so weird that they do that...but at the same time, it is so kick a$s

No Picture Taylor Lead Player	#6 by Taylor Dutton at Jul 17, 2006 at 3:20 PM EST

	Drink the poison, when you think it's over, (drink the poison) stabbing yourself, when you think it's too late. Tragic endings are your thing, you love them, (tragic endings) you love letting go, the endings the same. Drink the poison, when you think it's over, (drink the poison) inevitable, Verona lives inside of you. I love it. It's so tragic. I picture a whirling scen of a painful death. Im using while writing a scene iin my book. A guy and a girl are kissing and the a load of cops open fire.

	"Drink the poison, when you think it's over, (drink the poison) stabbing yourself, when you think it's too late. Tragic endings are your thing, you love them, (tragic endings) you love letting go, the endings the same. Drink the poison, when you think it's over, (drink the poison) inevitable, Verona lives inside of you." I agree with everyone about the R&J refrence..but i think that he's using that as a metaphor about his relationship. I think the bigger picture of this song is he is dating this girl and she decides to end it and breaks up with him. hence the part "i wasnt asking for the world" And that he still has feelings for her "and you know that i'm not one to follow through. All these city streets the people look the same, and i can see your face, and i can hear your name. I wasn't asking for the world." This is what gets me.. he's using the R&J refrence to show that his x is being a bit of a drama queen "inevitable, Verona lives inside of you." But the rest of the song suggests that the girl dumped him but that one part counterdicts that... so idk.. thats what i think but i could be wrong

	Oh my god why has nobody commented on this fantastic opening song of the album.

	Awesome Silverstein song!

No Picture Razor wrist Lead Player	#11 by Razor wrist at Jan 31, 2007 at 7:13 AM EST
	Im going to correct HelloYou accually Romeo kills himself with the poison and Juliet stabs herself with the dagger. We just got done reading it in english so I just had to "set you straight"

No Picture Trey Average	#12 by Trey Davis at Apr 19, 2007 at 5:14 AM EST
	whats the verona reference?

No Picture Shreder Dude Wanna Be	#13 by Shreder Dude at Aug 29, 2007 at 2:07 PM EST
	I like to consider this song my life's theme song. It's just so peppy of a song. Makes me want to get up and dance even though it's not exactly a happy song. Your stabbing in permanent scars, and you'll justify, it all inside yourself. You finish me, my pulse is gone, and you're satisfied to put this all to hell.

No Picture Oliver Average	#14 by Oliver Taylor at Sep 11, 2007 at 2:27 AM EST
	tragic endings are your thing, you love them. you love letting go. i definitely can say that to someone. thats my favorite part of the song. i understand the bridge but the rest of the song i'm not really sure what it's about

No Picture Bloody Mess All Musical Thunder	#15 by Bloody Mess All Over My Clothes at Oct 16, 2007 at 3:18 PM EST
	"Drink the poison when you think it's over" As has been pretty much established it's the R&J reference. The reference to Verona (IMO) could be because of the tragedy in Verona (R&J) it's as if Verona is 'inside' the person as in either tragic events and thoughts to themself.
