Endings Without Stories
Alesana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our love ruined by your malignance
Broken shards of feelings are now just tainted memories left
Beautiful dreams that I cherished now are so disgusting as I strangle the light from you
I watched the smile fading from your face
You bled till there was nothing in your veins
Its all over now so dry your eyes
Never forget you, be afraid to die
Blood stains my hands so I won't forget you
Tears fall as your screams of anguish rage throughout the heavens
Amidst the penance you must pay
Caress this bullet as eyes close to the painful memories you left
Consume the rest of me
My vision of you has now turned to dust, your porcelain smile gone
I watched the smile fading from your face
You bled till there was nothing in your veins
Blood stains my hands so I won't forget you
Its all over now so dry your eyes... never forget you, be afraid to die
Blood stains my hands so I won't forget you
You let me go
You let me go too soon
I love you are meaningless words that slip away as I slit your throat
And I will slit your throat

Line by Line Meaning
This time I die
I am emotionally dead due to your hurtful actions
Our love ruined by your malignance
You destroyed our love with your malevolent intentions
Broken shards of feelings are now just tainted memories left
My shattered emotions are now only painful memories
Beautiful dreams that I cherished now are so disgusting as I strangle the light from you
The dreams I held close are now revolting as I destroy you
You let me go
You released me from your grasp
You let me go too soon
You abandoned our relationship prematurely
I love you are meaningless words that slip away as I slit your throat
Your declaration of love means nothing to me as I take revenge on you
And I will slit your throat
I will kill you as a means of retribution
I watched the smile fading from your face
I witnessed your expression change as I took your life
You bled till there was nothing in your veins
Your blood flowed until you were lifeless
Blood stains my hands so I won't forget you
I stained my hands with your blood to remember my revenge
Its all over now so dry your eyes... never forget you, be afraid to die
It's finished, don't cry... I won't forget you and you should fear death
Tears fall as your screams of anguish rage throughout the heavens
I cry as I hear your screams echo through the universe
Amidst the penance you must pay
You must make amends for what you have done
Caress this bullet as eyes close to the painful memories you left
Take this bullet and remember the pain you caused
Consume the rest of me
Take my life as well
My vision of you has now turned to dust, your porcelain smile gone
My image of you has crumbled, your once beautiful expression wiped away

this time I die
our love ruined by your malignance
broken shards of feelings are now just tainted memories left
beautiful dreams that I cherished now are so disgusting as I strangle the light from you
I watched the smile fading from your face
you bled till there was nothing in your veins
blood stains my hands so I won't forget you
its all over now so dry your eyes
there is no forgiveness, be afraid to die
blood stains my hands so I won't forget you
tears fall as your screams of anguish rage throughout the heavens
amidst the penance you must pay
caress this bullet as eyes close to the painful memories you left
consume the rest of me
my vision of you has now turned to dust, your porcelain smile gone
I watched the smile fading from your face
you bled till there was nothing in your veins
blood stains my hands so I won't forget you
its all over now so dry your eyes... there is no forgiveness, be afraid to die
blood stains my hands so I won't forget you
you let me go
you let me go too soon
I love you are meaningless words that slip away as I slit your throat
and I will slit your throat
