    ...It's only after disaster that we can be resurrected...
    it's only after you've lost everything ...that you are free to do anything....(Fight Club)

    ... I'll ride the wave...where it takes me....

    i love this song
    i think it is about reaching that b reaking point and too late to turn back now
    think we all have been there...
    ...It's only after disaster that we can be resurrected...
    it's only after you've lost everything ...that you are free to do anything....(Fight Club)

    ... I'll ride the wave...where it takes me....

    I think its about being repressed
    ( i was not alowwed to leave the room)
    and not doing anything
    (i saw the sun go down)
    then regretting losing that time
    out of your life by not doing anything.
    (and now its coming up)
    and remembering you are going to die and you only have so long to live
    (I was bitten
    must have been teh devil
    he was just paying me...
    a little visit
    reminding me of his presence
    and letting me know
    he's a waiting)

    but its too late and you already lost some of your life, your blood, and died a little, hence the Red mosquito.
    everything=3

    This is one of my favourite songs lyrically. To me, it is about a girl who's been seeing a guy and he keeps screwing up but she doesn't have the heart to break it off. She doesn't really love him, but she remains with him. She plans how she will end it, but she can't. After all, she can't really find a "better man"

    I hope I got it!

    I totally agree with this, I can also relate, I live that life.
    I will feel alive as long as I am free
