Tangled in your lies

by Faithless   Jan 10, 2009


Trapped within your violent dreams
Unheard voices from my silent scream
Nightmare tickets couldn't be redeemed
Insanity being pushed to the extreme

Melancholy twist of euphoric surprise
No souls listening to my hidden cries
Sweet promises tangled in your lies
Debt mounting, unable to pay the price

Waking up to bitter taste of reality
Life hanging on uncertain destiny
Expired drugs provides no remedy
Angels unable to lift me from gravity

Tormented to the edge of the seat
Enslaved producing unwanted seed
Useless repetitions of endless plead
If only you'd let me go, then I'd be complete

    See? Now I can analyze easily. ^_^

    "Trapped within your violent dreams

    Okay, here we go, shall we? :]
    Firstly, I absolutely LOVE all of the different context of this. I mean, the metaphors are simply beautiful. :] "Nightmare tickets couldn't be redeemed" That was just simply awesome. :]

    "Melancholy twist of euphoric surprise

    This is slightly depressing.. :/ I like the negativity in this, but also.. i'm not absolutely sure what to call it. Realization, possibly? Or.. sad, hurt, understanding.

    "Waking up to bitter taste of reality

    I think "Provides" is supposed to be "provide" but i could be wrong. Ooh, here, are we talking about suicide? We better not be. -.-

    "Tormented to the edge of the seat

    Useless repetitions of endless plead

    Very well done. ^_^ This is very sad, like being in a cage, stuck doing something you don't want to do, having no choice, its horrible.

    Very sad. Depressing, but well done.
    Now.. I could be completely wrong on how i saw this, but than again, everyone brain is different, we see things oddly sometimes ;)
    5/5 all the way.
