What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
What a beautiful world, so fragile and fertile
2
Pain filled the void when boy met girl
3
He's a puppet to nature, one year later
4
Now so deeply and sickly in love it makes him hate her
5
The average romanticized American relationship
6
Sinks, capsized when either side becomes a slave to it
7
Conditioned, dependent, afraid to be alone
8
He needs that feeling that he can't create all on his own
9
He despises the fact she has a life outside of him
10
It drives him crazy to think she's not insanely consumed with him
11
Give her the guilt-trip and maybe she'll quit living,
12
To stay behind his prison walls and lose all individualism
13
Well this is happiness, masochistic torture
14
Played by the decadent, craved of affection
15
The needle digs deep to push contentment through his bloodstream
16
And drown out hollow, the pothole of a junkie
17
If he could only hear her sing, he wouldn't want to break her wings
18
But emptiness has such a warm, subtle sting
19
She makes up for what he lacks, trapped,
20
He can't imagine life without someone like that
21
Chorus:
22
We've rediscovered the long-lost art of dying
23
Only to lonely resent angels for flying
24
Twisted, living off of each other's sickness like parasites
25
This is paradise
26
We've rediscovered the long-lost art of dying
27
Only to lonely resent angels for flying
28
Addicted, afraid to take control of my own life
29
This is paradise
30
Verse 2:
31
What a beautiful world, emotionally destroyed
32
Her became plural when girl met boy
33
Between several breakups and plenty relapses
34
Routine bred-comfort led to serious attachment
35
Now every once in a while she forgets to breathe
36
Terrified of losing him, paradise is misery
37
Too much faith in the life-saving knight in shining armour
38
Now her knight's noticing the scars she can't hide any longer
39
But they were her story way before he was
40
It was gross hope to think he could heal such deep cuts
41
At first it felt so right but after one too many fights,
42
He turned out that hallway light and all the wonder turned to spite
43
So they sleep in the same bed with guns to each others' heads
44
Dead to romance, boiling the blood that painted roses red
45
Suffering from post-honeymoon disease, bleached through
46
His whole existence, she'll die if he decides to leave
47
Addicted to the way she feels when they spend time together
48
Detouring the now in a childish attempt to find forever
49
Despite the fact they hold each other heart to heart
50
You can't be that close to somebody without being so far apart
51
Chorus
52
Silence, the most obscure sound I've ever heard
53
Those lonely, giant spaces in between your every word
54
And maybe, I'm totally crazy for holding on but
55
Just cus I'm insane, don't mean that I'm wrong
56
Now that you're gone I can't sleep at night
57
I barely even function right, my memory's on overdrive
58
Too hungry and too cold to cry
59
Miss the companionship I once took for granted
60
The way you helped me manage, the partnership that vanished
61
But I don't expect you to stay chained by the ankle,
62
There's so much world to see so, fly free my angel
63
I'm dying without you, but it's teaching me to live
64
Heaven ain't something someone else can give
65
It's all inside of me
66
Chorus
67
There's so much world to see
68
What's stopping me from flying free?
69
There's so much world to see
70
What's stopping you from flying free?
71
(Repeat to Fade)
