I just listened to this (ok, I'm still listening, the HT part just ended, though). Very interesting how it was created out of the idea of a dark fairy tale.

I've never thought the song had anything to do with being gay. ???

Absolutely love the music, and they tell the story well and it ends where it should. There isn't much else to say, if you want more to the story just put the song on repeat :P It's a continuing cycle of abuse.

It's a terrible thing that there are people out there who can relate to the lyrics all too well though. :(

While this might not be my favourite song on the album, it definitely has the deepest meaning to me. The last show I saw (which was by far the best), I got teary during this song. After the song, Shim said "You have no idea how much it means to us that you know the words to that song." It was a type of connection between song and spirit that rarely happens.

Beautifully and eloquently stated. As I've said in other threads, bands that can blend their soul and their song together don't come along too often. :)

No one could explain it better you guys ;) Well.. okay I don't doubt it that much since everyone around here seems to make such beautiful honest statements about the music.

You really can feel the love that everyone on the board has for them - it is very evident - I hope the band can feel it as well ;D

Probably the song that really got me hooked to SP, because of the bassline and seeing it live. Emma slapped the entire intro when I seen them live (I will admit Emma is what first caught my attention, and then 3 seconds into the first song I was completely blown away.)

After buying the CD I really fell deeper into the song, because I am one of many who know people who relate to the song, in both ways. People in my family have been on both ends of that type of abuse.

It's amazing how lyrically you can connect and really appreciate and love a song even more than just on the music alone.
