Remission
Straight Line Stitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The last time that I sway
No longer will you dictate what I do or say
I've taken a leave of absence
I've taken a leave of the senses
And there's nothing in the world that can change this
Life is diminished
I'm leaving you
And everything I knew
Tomorrow only leads to more sorrow
But I don't care
Pretend your unaware
I was never there...
No one cries more than I
Take my life but scared to die
I feel so incomplete
Everything is way beyond me
Watching my life go by
Standing on the sideline
I'm leaving you
And everything I knew
And everything is... You
I'm leaving you
And everything I knew
Tomorrow only leads to more sorrow
But I don't care
Pretend you unaware
I was never there
But I don't care
Pretend you unaware
I was never there
Standing on the sidelines
Where I've been left behind
Waiting on the sidelines
Waiting for the right time
The lyrics to Straight Line Stitch's song Remission are a representation of emotional turmoil and the process of leaving behind harmful relationships or situations. The song starts with the declaration that the singer will no longer be controlled by their oppressor. They have had enough and they are taking a stand against their abuser. The singer describes feeling disconnected from their own life as their oppressor has undermined their sense of self.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's intention to leave everything behind including the people and situations that they have known. Despite knowing that the future holds sorrow, the singer is determined to move on. They are not scared of the future, they are scared of the past repeating itself. They express feelings of incompleteness because they have been so manipulated that they do not know who they are. They find themselves standing on the sideline, unable to participate in their own life.
The lyrics are a representation of the struggle that many people face when trying to extract themselves from abusive relationships. They also speak to the difficulty of finding oneself when caught in a cycle of abuse.

Standing on the sideline where I've been left behind
Standing on the sideline waiting for the right time (life goes by)

This band kicked so much ass. I really wish they got the recognition they deserved!
Christy
Never heard of them until now. I agree, they should have been huge. Her voice is better than most metal chicks out here.
Dolly Love
Its so sad ive been listening to them from the start so much missed opportunity

Memento Mori
It's tough to find females in metal. It's tough to find black people in metal. It's almost unheard of to find a female, black FRONTWOMAN. \m/
Kryptseae the Keeper of Kosmos
Ur not looking. When we created the whole genre please go back and do a little research then u'll find what ur looking for...
Peach Creed
There's way more females in metal than you think, A LOT
The Backwoods Chapter
I see what you're getting at dude but the other two are right, there's a lot of women in metal.
Symphonic metal is teeming with female fronted bands. Then there's the obvious, Arch Enemy, Otep, In This Moment (for more of this sound, only a fair bit sexier), Lacuna Coil, the emerging Jinjer, Saviour have a female lead... Just a few places for you to mooch. And while you're at it, UNLEASH THE ARCHERS!

You forgot about Expellow my beloved singer Mik
