All That I'm Living For Lyrics

All that I'm living for
all that I'm dying for
all that I can't ignore alone at night

I can feel the night beginning
separate me from the living
understanding me
after all I've seen
piecing every thought together
find the words to make me better
if I only knew how to pull myself apart

All that I'm living for
all that I'm dying for
all that I can't ignore alone at night
all that I'm wanted for
although I wanted more
lock the last open door- my ghosts are gaining on me

I believe that dreams are sacred
take my darkest fears and play them
like a lullaby
like a reason why
like a play of my obsessions
make me understand the lesson
so I'll find myself
so I wont be lost again

All that I'm living for
all that I'm dying for
all that I can't ignore alone at night
all that I'm wanted for
although I wanted more
lock the last open door- my ghosts are gaining on me

Guess I thought I'd have to change the world
to make you see me
to be the one
I could have run forever
but how for would I have come
without mourning your love?

All that I'm living for
all that I'm dying for
all that I can't ignore alone at night
all that I'm wanted for
although I wanted more
lock the last open door- my ghosts are gaining on me

should it hurt to love you?
should I feel like I do?
should I lock the last open door-
my ghosts are gaining on me

i agree totally with Liquid-Spear-Waltz. sometimes music can be your only escape, if you don't release it somehow your problems will soon catch up to you-- your ghosts. Being able to pull yourself apart and piece together rhymes about it like a puzzle must be extremely difficult, but according to Amy (&band, of course) it's worth it.

QUOTE FROM AMY ON VH1:

"I love that song. It feels really different for us. The lyrics are about my writing process-how I put the song together, why I do it, and how I'm trying to fix all the things that are wrong with me through music. The first line says, 'Save me from the night again/ I can feel the separation from the living.' It's always night time when I start writing, just as the dusk is setting."

Amy has said this song is about the band - that one day she realised the band was her life, all that she thought about, and that she has a love/hate relationship with it.

I believe that dreams are sacred take my darkest fears and play them like a lullaby like a reason why like a play of my obsessions make me understand the lesson so I'll find myself so I wont be lost again

I think that verse is talking about how writing music is therapy for her. I don't know what the love she's mourning is.

The open door seems to be a lot more personal than fallen. With fallen a lot of the stories were fictional (like haunted or my immortal) or their message was obscured (whisper) but here most of the songs you can put to events in Amy's life we've heard about.
