Five words, five words is all it would take.
Five words to change your heart and mind.
In the heat of the sun I know you’re the only one.
You still can’t hold yourself together.
Alone... Alone...
You have this conversation to satisfy your most intimate inner thoughts.
Then you bite your lip when it matters most.
A shade of red in sight.
Can you taste the blood?
Taste it on your lips.
Rip the seam then I’ll show you,
How the strings become the stitches in your mouth.
In your silence we are louder.
When the strings become the stitches in your mouth. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/haste_the_day/stitches.html ]
Your growing imagination preparing you for what your heart requires to say.
Then you bite your lip when it matters most.
A shade of red in sight.
Can you taste the blood?
Taste it on your lips.
Rip the seam then I’ll show you,
How the strings become the stitches in your mouth.
In your silence we are louder.
When the strings become the stitches in your mouth.
Five words, repeating over in your head.
That’s all you ever have to do.
Five words. Is it really that hard to say?
You’re worth more than this
You’re worth more than this.
Rip the seam then I’ll show you,
How the strings become the stitches in your mouth.
In your silence we are louder.
When the strings become the stitches in your mouth.
This is such an amazing song, the guitar solos are amazing. I love it like cookies [:

No matter what
no matter how much it hurts
you know this is wrong
you know that only you can hurt yourself now
you can beat this
you can let this go
it takes only one thing
it takes you to let it go

Speak up for those who cannot do it themselves. Be there for those who need it and show you care, show them they are important to you and to the world. Tell those who need it just how important they are.
I totally agree with cormag. Stitches-not witnessing, holding in the truth.. Blood-that of christ and from not speaking.. Keeping them from eternity in heaven.. And the strings are a biggie.. Imagine a puppeteer.. The world, darkness, all that keeps you from the lord and being a slave/puppet to that fear.. Deep lyrics
I interpret this song to be about how a person feels lost and lacks in self confidence. This could be; not having the assertiveness to be themselves or not being able to express their feelings and/or opinions in a manner in which they usually would.
"alone... Alone" being alone - negative consequence of the way you conduct yourself.
"how the strings become the stitches in your mouth" - possible connotation of puppet strings and feeling manipulated by others around you, causing you to feel insecure and in turn not being able to express important emotions/feelings/opinions etc.
"your growing imagination preparing you for what your heart requires to say" - trying to comprehend how to articulate your thoughts and emotions but feeling overwhelmed at the same time.
"you're worth more than this" - you know you deserve better.
I'm not saying this is 100% dead on, everyone interprets things differently, which in turn is the beauty of it.
It is about seeing a loved one doing something that is hurting them;drinking too much,drugs,etc etc and not saying anything to them about it. The song is saying we should tell them they are worth more than this.
I don't understand it! ♠ i think it's about the process we're through when we want to say somethong but it becomes so hard to say. But well it's kind of difficult.
I think this song is saying that when ur quiet that's when ppl speak louder & ignore u until u say something... Then they tell u that ur worth more than wut they r and that u deserve betr than them...
