Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
I know you're still there
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you, loving you
I won't let you pull me down
Hunting you I can smell you alive
Your heart pounding in my head
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me, raping me
Watching me
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you, loving you
I won't let you pull me down
i'VE NOTICED SEVERAL POSTS ABOUT THIS SO i THOUGHT I'D WALK YOU THROUGH IT
a little girl around 8 or 9 in a little white easter dress is walking down a neighborhood street bouncing a little red ball. as shee approaches an obviously deserted large house with a sinster demeanor, her attention moves from the ball to the house. Not paying attention to her bouncing, the ball hits the curb and ricochets toward the house. As she chases the little red ball toward the house, the ball picks up unatural momentum and bounces right into the huge gaping front door. THe little girl pauses for a moment, looks up at the house which now appears to be staring down at her, and cautiously enters the house in search of her little red ball. as she slowly walks into the atrium, she surveys the decaying mess that once was obviously a beautiful mansion. She becomes mesmerized by the exquisite detail of every inch of the banister winding up the seemingly endless staircase in front of her. Suddenly her thoughts are broken by a horrifying commotion. She whips around to run out the front door, but finds only a blank wall where the door once stood. Friqhtened, she runs down the first hallway she sees, trying desperately to find a way out, but with every turn the world behind her changes, bending to the will of the house, so that even finding a path back to the atrium where she began becomes impossible. Terrified, the little girl sinks into a corner, puts her head in her hands, and weeps.
10 years later....
the little girl wakes up in a panic, now a young woman.. dirty, scarred. She's now clothed in black pants, work boots, and a black wife beater. Her skin is pale and dirty. Sun has not graced her flesh in over a decade. She wakes to find a meal placed on a dirty silver tray before her, just enough to sustain life, just like every morning before. Placed there by a figure she can only see in passing, around a corner, walking through a door.... a figure that has become her only friend, and her only hate. Her entire existence has become nothing but to hunt and destroy this shadow that keeps her here. As she hunts him relentlessly day after day, she becomes lost in the dicotemy of her being. This thing that keeps her here, this person that repeatedly rapes her mind and watches her when she sleeps, has become her only friend. FOr is this person left, she would cease to exist. For she live only to kill him. But lives only FOR him. Every day the house changes around her, so that every day she wakes in a foreign land. The only constant... is him. She hears his heart beating, she smells him, she can only think of finding him, but he is also the only thing she knows of love.
rape1 ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rp)
n.
1. The crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse.
2.The act of seizing and carrying off by force; abduction.
3.Abusive or improper treatment; violation: a rape of justice.
If you lok in the dicitonary you will see, that's the whole pioint of one. Rape has more than one meaning, and if you actually paid attention in English or bothered askign yuo would understand.
nighthobbit if u want to get technical hen fine, yes that version does make more sence but diff. pple think of songs differently. like an abstract painting. But now its is clearer. Aldso r u a stalker man? like ur always at the same forums as me.
No I jsut stated clearly waht the song was about, and just becuase I'm on the same forums doesn't make me a stalker, I just like similiar music to you.
That was loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong!
OMG, NightHobbit - you wrote the longest post I've ever read.... actually it sounded so real that I could imagine it and it kinda creeped me out a little. Huh.. Anyway... it's kinda funny when you and the other guy (don't know his nickname) are always appearing on the same forum... it's funny when he tries to argue with you... ttul!
Yeah, I like that song and it's also one of my favorites.... heehee!
I finally changed the song i was listening to...
Tourniquet.... now I'm listening to I Miss You by Blink 182... (Gosh, I've been yawning a lot today! )

Long lost words, whisper slowly, to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
I know you're still there
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you, loving you
I won't let you pull me down
Hunting you, I can smell you - alive
Your heart pounding in my head
Watching me, wanting me
I won't let you pull me down
Saving me, raping me
Watching me
Watching me, haunting me
I can fear you pull me down
Fearing you, holding you
I won't let you pull me down

vocal That's a really cool story about the song. I've always liked the song without knowing that but it's really strange how the backstory puts it all together. Somebody told me that it was referring to a band member being molested as a child and that always made sense to me but reading that has set me straight. Thanks for more info about this great song.
nighthobbit,dont take your moodiness out on me!im sorry if i dont read through the dictionary word through word and to be honest, i dont pay much attention to words coz there are some things that are just more important than that.also,FYI,Mr.KNOWITALL,you is spelt Y O U not Y U O.
