1.What happens in this song is there is a young man in world war 1 and while he was fighting he was hit by a landmine so his arms, legs, eyes, mouth, nose and ears are gone and he could not see, speak, smell, or hear; but his mind functions perfectly, leaving him a prisoner in his own body.
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
So this song is about a person who can only sit in a bed and think and do nothing else except sit in a bed all day and think about nothing. All he did was sit on his bed and think of all the good times he had with his girl friend and family.
2.The meaning behind this song is to show that war is a terrible thing and that many people have and can die in war. The guy in the song did not die but he had loss all senses and couldnt move so all he did was think to his self about dieing. I think what the artist here is trying to say is that at any ime we could get very hurt and not know what to do with our selves.
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God,wake me
This part of the song means that since he could not do anything except sit there all day he was trying to suffocate his self so he could die and be over with his miserable life and move on.
3.The christ in common for this song is that anything bad can happen so you never know when your going to die or be injured like this guy so you should always have jesus in your heart to you know you will go to heaven. The reason he wanted to die was so he could go see God up in heaven so he could get out of being trapped in his own body. So what this guy is saying that without God we are nothing and will die a tragic death without christ.
here are all the lyrics
I cant remember anything
Cant tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
Im waking up I can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me
Back in the womb its much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But cant look forward to reveal
Look to the time when Ill live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me
Now the world is gone Im just one
Oh god,help me hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God help me
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
