The Reasons Why

I won't try to bring you down about my suicide,

got no need to understand about my big surprise.

I won't beg to hang you up about my love of life,

if you promise not to sing about the reasons why.

I am writing you a letter, getting better.

Can I see you when all the lights go out together,

blame the weather...

Yeah the cold again...

In the darkness, for a second,

I am sure I see them smiling then.

I feel them calling me,

yeah they are calling me.

And I am falling through the stars.

(You remember now?)

Yeah I am falling in their arms.

(You remember how?)

Oh I am falling through the skies.

(You remember this?)

I am falling in their eyes...

(You remember the kiss?)

I won't try to pull you in about my sacrifice,

makes no sense to get upset about the other side.

I won't beg to put you out about my right to die,

if you promise not to sing about the reasons why.

I am calling you at midnight, feeling alright.

Can I tell you when on the line no sound,

but my words...

Must be night birds on the wire again.

In the silence for a second

I am sure I hear them laughing then.

I feel them calling me,

yeah they are calling me.

And I am falling through the stars.

(You remember now?)

Yeah I am falling in their arms.

(You remember how?)

Oh I am falling through the skies.

(You remember this?)

I am falling in their eyes...

(You remember our kiss?)

We know they said

you're holding on to nothing left of something gone.

We know they said

in letting go of fear and dread, and all you know.

You'll lose the need of certainty

and make believe eternity,

to find the true reality

in beautiful infinity...

But I won't try to bring you down about my suicide,

if you promise not to sing about the reasons why.

The shallow drowned lose less than we...

So is it about the grave and beyond or is it a metaphor? A simple song of letting go of letting go of letting go of anything scary?

I LOVE this. My very favorite Cure song! If I remember correctly, it was this song that Robert states to have written after getting a fan letter from someone saying they would kill themselves in 1987. He said he was quoting that fan in the song, to some extent. I believe it´s the saddest song that has ever been written and sometimes even manages to make me cry. Hearing those words from someone you love really tears your heart apart, doesn´t it? Strangely enough, this song helped me more than any other when I was depressed some time ago.

He immediately has my attention, no matter where I am, what time it is, if I´ve turned the volume up or not.
