Sometimes life seems too quiet
Into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark
Meant to make me strong
Familiar breath of my old lies
Changed the color in my eyes
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/flyleaf/sorrow.html ]
Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl
That's smothering me
Sitting closer than my pain
He knew each tear before it came
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And we kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie that's halfway mine
The sword is slicing through the question
So I won't be fooled by his angel light
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And up into the stars
Sorrow lasts only in darkness and love will conquer sorrow and turn it into joy.

Sorrow sound like a boyfreind thts dying and you know u cant do anything about it but u keep trying and a mericale happens and u fall in love with him all over angain
I love this sonq, no matter what anyone says. ;) i mean, music has a meaniq but, it should be yours only, and not everyone else. Sorry just speakinq the mind.
It sounds like a dying boyfriend to me. "soon he will perforate the peaceful by and by" is figurative for dying. "for just one second i felt whole as you flew right through me" can be interpreted as the actual death, and his spirit passing through her before dissapating. "kiss each other one more time and sing this lie that's halfway mine" who's would the other half be? Who would she kiss goodbye?
I think most of flyleaf's songs relate to thier lives and how they have lived or are living them. If you know anything about them, they are christians. They believe in god but i think they sing of hope. That there is light in the darkness of this world. On the other side, i think thier songs can relate to anyone. If you listen to thier lyrics, you can take from them what you want.
Well this song is awesome just like all of flyleaf's songs haha but if you notice, most songs pertain to religious things. Like in do you hear waht i hear? It ties to baby jesus. All around me speaks of angels, in ok tina, she praying to god near the end so basically this one is about good and bad, god and the deviil. This proves that they may sound goth, but they're not. I think lacey sings aout god to remind herself how she's not alone in bad times.
I believe zackandtaylor about how this song is about god. The bible is known as the sword and satan used to be known as his angel light. And no, they r not goth. Or emo.
Zachandtaylor>>> i wasn't addressing my messages to you, i'm sorry... That's if you think that i'm disagreeing to your proposition... That's how you perceive things or about this song so i highly acknowledge it... And your analysis is cool... I'm cool w/ it
I know not all their songs are about god, but i know for a fact this one is. And idc who believes me and who doesn't. You will find out for yourself... Not kidding at all..
