Even In Death

I'm back. Cause I'm bored and I have nothing to do.

Plus, I don't see the object of my affections anywhere... but that could be blamed to the fact that I'm sitting in a corner of the library, and bookshelves are effectively blocking my view.

Anyways....

There's this thing in English class that's been going on for a while. Our teacher picks two lucky winners to present something at the beginning of every lesson. I've been itching for the first task: present your favorite song and say something about it.

Well...

I *REALLY* want that one. Really. I really really do. I'd volunteer for it if I could. But I can't. So all I can do is pray and hope Fate will be nice enough to grant me this one.

If I do get that task... I have a whole list of songs I can present. Of course, it's English class, so my Japanese songs are already out of the question.

1. Lithium - Evanescence
2. Even in Death - Evanescence
3. My Immortal - Evanescence
4. Five Minutes To Midnight - Boys Like Girls
5. Nymphetamine - Cradle of Filth (Not really... this is mainly just to spite the chavs in my class)

And the winner is:



Yep. If the guitar solo near the end is not enough reason to LOVE this song, well...

I love what it's about. I love the message - how people can actually love each other to the point that not even death has the power to end that bond.

This song can in fact be interpreted in so many different ways.

a) Denial

They're in love, the guy dies. The girl refuses to believe that he's gone, and continues pretending that he's still alive.

b) Undying love

They're in love. The guy dies. The girl never stops loving him even though he's gone. Her affection and devotion remains.

Or, his ghost actually visits her.

c) Symbolic

They're in love. The guy goes away/dies/has to go somewhere/ends the relationship. The girl still loves him.
True, this is the least plausible scenario, but it still works.



See? See? Wherever else can you find a song that is so heart-wrenchingly beautiful, so soaked up in angst and just... just...

It's like staring at the Cullens from Twilight. So deathly angelic... so perfect!

Undying love. Yes.

And the guitar solo... Hmmm... So much pain, I feel as though it's shrieking at me. I love it just oh-so much.
