LYRICS: (Narrators: Nik Van-Eckmann & Renay Gonzalez)
***********************************************************************************

Narritive:
-----------

"Hello"
"Well well, how are you?"
"aah, who is this?"
"Who do you think this is?"
"Stop it, who is this?"
"You know very well who I am"
You almost got away from me, didn't you?"
"Oh my God, it can't be!, you can't be!"
"Hahahaha... Oui oui mon amore, c'est moi!"

CHAPTER 1 - 6
--------------

I gave you my time
I gave you my whole life
I gave you my love, every dime
They told me it was... a crime
Do you remember?
Or did it all go in vain...

I looked in the light, I sat in your coalmine
The promise they made, I should keep?
Make sure that we would never meet
I can't remember
The promise I made so deep

Tell me that past times won't die...
Tell me that old lies are alive

Across darkened skies, I travelled without a light
I sank in the well of my mind
Too deep never to be found

I can't remember
How could you be so in vain...

Tell me that past times won't die...
Tell me that old lies are alive
Love that expired too long time ago
Kills me, it thrills me...

You have new love and it looks good on you
I never wished you dead, yet.

You can now have all the things
I could never give to you
Look out the window "c'est moi"

I'm sorry, I am here
Im not sure if it should bring you fear
I whisper in your ear
Why is he here?

While you are sleeping, I steal your earring
Light you one candle, this anger I handle
They said I won't find you, but now I'm beside you
I'm not all that stable
You should know by now you are mine...

Tell me that past times won't die...
Tell me that old lies are alive

I tell you that past times won't die...
I tell you that old lies are alive
Love due to expire too long time ago
Kills me, it will kill you ...too

Past times won't die...

......

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jeremy Average	#1 by Jeremy Rees at May 17, 1970 at 9:31 AM EST
	The line in french "C'est moi" means "It's me" I guess he wants to say that she can't escape him, wherever she'll go, he'll find her.

No Picture spencer Wanna Be	#2 by spencer mccarthy at Jun 12, 1979 at 3:39 PM EST
	I used to think that this song could be a sequal to Shy; he has become overcome by his obsession. The line "I sat in your coalmine" could also by a metaphor of the way she has involuntarily trapped him.

No Picture Tye Musical Genius	#3 by Tye williston at Jan 3, 1982 at 11:54 AM EST
	The whole french line says "Yes, yes, my love, it's me." Nothing really uncovering there. Wow, learning french for 5 years did SOMETHING for once!

No Picture Kyle Average	#4 by Kyle at Apr 12, 1992 at 3:34 PM EST
	This relate the story about a man who was violent in his relationship (This anger I handle). His girlfriend was afraid of him so she had to make him go behind bars (I sat in your coal mine). Some time later, the guys finally get out and seek to be with her again. In his mind, he basically OWN her (You should know by now that you're mine). When he find her she's got a new life and a new relationship. He stalks her because he doesn't seems to understand what is going on (Why is he here?) He think he's rehabilitated but in fact he try to enter her life again when he's probably forbidden to (They said I won't find you). What he's about to do by the end of the song is probably kill himself (Please kill me before). A great song wich shows a new way of looking at difficult relationship, it is the point of view of the abusive person of some sort.

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#5 by Matt Cromwell at May 27, 2002 at 7:35 PM EST
	I dunno... I'm not completely agree with your versions of the song... I mean, I think there's more.. I think the lines in french could give us a clue.. Still dunno what it is...
