You cant destroy what isnt there

One of the definitions of snuff is the charred portion of a candlewick, or in other words is a burned out candle, the flame of a candle representing hope in this case.

Just sth to think about: Snuff is a word to discribe a video in which a person dies. Story of my life ehh my love's.. Keep pushing such people forward with love, because for every fucking thing is a reason. General Comment brilliant afitch on August 20, Link. Now not being a Slipknot fan I know nothing about the band to be honest I can't talk about the relationship between the singer and his ex-wife, the drug addiction or anything like that.

All my interpretation will be about it what I get straight out of the lyrics, his voice, the music, the tone and of course it will all be subjective to my own imagination and experiences. To me the song comes in two parts with each part shading over slightly towards the next as a really nice bridge throughout the song. The first "half" he talks about the relationship whereby he is the bad guy; dark, uncaring and that he doesn't deserve her even though he loves her so.

Sure it was bad, he wasn't perfect but you should have loved him and stuck by him. And then the next two verses are talking about how, though at the beginning he said he was bad, he wishes he could have hurt her for her blatant apathy of the relationship and how he is over her now and comes out morally on top. AeonsGod on January 14, I meant about the first thing "Brilliant" Aeonsgod thank you for that amazing interpretation Misfitspunk on January 07, General Comment this song is nothing short of amazing to me.

No Replies Log in to reply. Song Meaning I really love this song 'cause i can relate to it. As usual, her attitude was of innocence, like nothing happened. On the other side, he is dead inside and doesn't walk to interract as he will never forget what happened. When some1 suffers in love, all he wants is to be alone at least me. It's eventually going to end up bad, with him suffering again, so he doesn't want to be involved ever again. After all that he's been through, he realised it was better if he never knew that girl in the 1st place, so, he wants to be alone, this way excluding the case he'll ever hate another girl in the future.

Nothing could ever be so wrong. He asked her to leave as he didn't want to be her fool, and she did so, leaving the impression that it was just the thing she wanted to hear. He knows now who she really was, and nothing will ever change his opinion. When you hate someone as a person, there are still sentiments involved, and sentiments make us humans.

It's indifference that's the opposite of human feelings. Just look at where we are Indifference is worst than hate He could've been the best friend for her, just like brothers and sisters.

Still, when some1 wants to be in a relationship with another person without involving pure sentiments, it ends with fight and shout and tears. He had the power not to hurt her, but, after all this time spent alone, he starts to regret it. He tries to tell her, he's not like her It's way too late to show me any compassion feelings.

It won't mean a thing to me. He concludes women are all the same. Probably meaning it's worthless to have another relationship knowing what happened.

Andus4n on December 26, Link. It all shouts out loud and clear to me as to the relationship i just got out of but do to circumstances daughter with her i will never truly be out of said relationship XombieFetus on February 13, Andus4n your interpretation makes since.

I listen to it when I think about my past, cause when I do it takes on a whole different meaning. Andus4n wow, your interpretation is on point. So, basically whay I understood from it is the description of a rebound relationship from the perspective of the hurt one in the end. General Comment I also have to agree with all of you. When I heard the first few seconds of the song, the chords sounded a bit similiar to vermillion part 2. As easily as she brought innocence and light into his life she quickly left along with it, to leave him with his demons.

Hate isn't the opposite of love. Love and hate are actually siblings, they are the same emotion and carry the same passion except for the fact that one is negative the other is a more positive feeling to state the obvious. He loves her too much for her to be tainted and ruined by him and the relationship. He feels that the biggest form or act of love that any person can give is "scarifice".

He's willing to sacrifice his own happiness for her to not get hurt. I guess he's asking her to "flight", flee from the relationship. But there's a sense that even though he wants her to leave for the sake of her not getting hurt by him, it kills him to ask her to since it's not what he wants her to do.

What he really wants is for her to stay with him and "fight" through the battles and obstacles of the relationship. Make it work no matter how hard it might be. First off, great analysis! You pointed out a lot of things that I didn't see, so thank you for that. The only thing I feel I need to comment on is the very last part. In some way, shape, or form, she communicated that she didn't care as much as he did. This hurt him more than anything because it proved that she did not value their relationship as he had.

She "refused to fight" for their love. Just like you said, 'what he really wants is for her to stay with him and "fight" through the battles and obstacles of the relationship - to make it work no matter how hard it might be'. This interpretation leads to a twist in translation for the next line as well.

I think It made it very clear. As discussed already, she more or less just left and didn't put up much of a fight. Now she's trying to either justify herself to him or just smooth things over.

Either way, he's had enough now that he's seen her true colors, and she can just save her breath. That could explain the constant repetition of "love" and "hate" in the lyrics. He wants her to leave him for both his and her own good. But he doesn't want to be there when she runs away. Even though he wants to hurt her, so she will hate him and leave him, he doesn't, because he cares for her.

He wants to remember her- only the good. He also doesn't want to know if she cares because he doesn't want it to inspire thoughts of her, which would make him feel love for her again- which would bring him rage. He believes that because of things he has done, although he cares for her, it is his fate to be alone.

He doesn't want his smile to return because he doesn't feel he deserves it. He is punishing himself by purging his life of all hopes at happiness. Kinkcesity on July 03, Just some of my own ideas and interpretations. That was brilliant Leoncurts on April 06, Great insight it helped me I was thinking the same he doesnt want to bring her down to him and destroy her light.

Everything probaly turns to ashes 5fdp. Leoncurts on May 12, I think this song is about the other person cheating, and I dont think he is the bad person I think she is So save your breath, I will not hear I think I made it very clear You couldn't hate enough to love Is that supposed to be enough?

I can relate to this song at the moment although the roles are reversed I'am the woman being cheated on. I think it is indifference toward his significant other that he is talking about He wishes he could at least hate her so that he could walk away and not care the pain it would cause. However, like a platonic friend, he doesn't want to hurt her I get the feeling that through the course of the relationship she was actually the one who was indifferent and never truly cared for him and now that the roles are reversed, she is the "angel" who is granted the ability to twist the past to fit her current stanse About the death of hope and love and the wish that the other walks away because you are tired of being the bad guy.

General Comment Well, i love this song too, it's beautiful and i really think the song is about a guy who was in a relationship but they broke up she broke up with him and he had the worst time forgetting her, letting her go, and then after months or maybe years she's back and she tells him that she loves him but he remembers how hard was it to forget her and he thinks "i won't let her hurt me again like the last time" so he's telling her "so if you love me let me go, or run away before i know" because he knows he will fall for her again but he does not want that, he's suffered enough That's what i think!

I may be wrong but the beautiful thing about songs is that we can make our own interpretation : vosem on July 30, Link. General Comment I'm gonna drop some knowledge on everyone saying the song's about Paul Gray: The album came out in Paul Gray died in You guys think Corey wrote a song for his deceased friend, Paul Gray, while he was still alive?
