| the lyrics shown "the stakes were you the stakes were me", is actually "mistakes were you, mistakes were me". anyway, i really like this song, one of my favorite sparta tracks. it reminds me of thinking back to past experiences with anyone i've been close to and seeing the blatant mistakes being made and how they could have been easily avoided. | |

| i posted the right lyrics in here, i don't know where they went....but they are... Looking back with perfect symmetry mistakes were you, mistakes were me photos fall through the glass paint it black to hide your face static screams deaf the masses but what do they have to say? Fan the flames to the landslide crown yourself in the wake we play this disaster fanfare, fanfare, liar Concrete eyes and flash bang imagery you're bored with home, you're bored with me rings were thrown out the window rolled down empty streets walls will talk for the widow but what does she have to say? Edges dulled at the end of the day | |

| no clue, i think this meaning is pretty much obvious. just about a relationship gone awry where both sides were at fault | |

| ..ah,,some sparta songs don't have great lyrics, i especially see this happening on Porcelain, but these are great lyrics evident here...they don't seem like they try to hard like in some others... | |
