Icon For Hire ~ Off With Her Head ~ Lyrics

Song: Off With Her Head
Artist: Icon For Hire
Album: Scripted
Track: 6
Video By: Ethelia Jumper
Lyrics:
I'm lucky if I ever see the light of day again
My skin is choking me, my feeble walls are closing in
This cell is filled with scholars easing me, they're teasing me
They told me so I didn't know the fall would be this easy
How long until it starts to do me in?
I can't give out what I'm not breathing in
I know they'll come with what I'm owed
Guilty as charged
My enemies belittle me, reminding me the penalty of all my deeds, despite my pleas, is death.
Don't let go, cuz I don't wanna be this
I don't wanna be this
Death is mine, I know
Don't let go
Don't let go
Save your own, cuz I don't wanna be this
I don't wanna be this
Death is mine I know
Don't let go
Don't let go
Savior
Your way to life has only showed me what a fool I am
It serves the purpose of confirming I remain condemned
And I will ever linger on the edge
Unless you hear me
How long until it starts to do me in?
I can't give out what I'm not breathing in
I know they'll come with what I'm owed
Guilty as charged
My enemies belittle me, reminding me the penalty of all my deeds, despite my pleas, is death.
Don't let go, cuz I don't wanna be this
I don't wanna be this
Death is mine, I know
Don't let go
Don't let go
Save your own, cuz I don't wanna be this
I don't wanna be this
Death is mine I know
Don't let go
Don't let go
Savior
Don't let go, cuz I don't wanna be this
I don't wanna be this
Death is mine, I know
Don't let go
Don't let go
Save your own, cuz I don't wanna be this
I don't wanna be this
Death is mine, I know
Don't let go
Don't let go
Save your own

You know, I had never heard of this happening before, and then it happened to me this last weekend. F-ing weird, but kind of awesome too. I listened to all my favourites with no vocals and then bought new headphones. NO bloody idea what happened there though.

[@FloweringFennec]

It happens to me sometime

[@Yehe13]

Rebekah Lyan that happened to me before

[@robertjohnson2559]

I have the same issue.
I'm not a Christian, but I love Christian music (especially hard rock), but too much of the time I can't hear the lyrics.
The problem is that when I look up the lyrics to the song(s) and it ties into the music, the depth and meaning will sometime bring me to tears.
Unfortunately, I should get that same feeling just by listening.

[@ChaotisRavendark]

For me, this is the final boss theme for almost every game I play.
I see this being the perfect theme for Vincent Valentine from FFVII, it’s definitely a fitting song for him.

[@pearlsquad8382]

what is this song about?im getting an anxiety attack feeling,but I want to be sure

[@spaceykaciii]

Pearl Squad
I feel like it seems like Alice in Wonderland

[@RoryAndJohnny]

I see the song as how Alice from Alice In Wonderland felt, only with a darker twist, all the anxiety she must have felt, knowing she was most likely going to lose her head, and just everything that happened in general.

[@elizabethschuyler8103]

Pearl Squad I'd agree with it being about an anxiety attack, the band seems to focus on things like that, judging by all the songs I've heard so far. Of course, I only started listening to the band a few hours ago and have spent those hours learning as much as I can about it.

[@hyenaedits3460]

Icon for Hire is Christian, so I think it does have some religious tones to it. They've said they don't want to be an explicitly Christian band because they want their music to reach everyone. So this is a song about guilt and asking for forgiveness.

[@renesaries]

Pearl Squad It's about Jesus Don't worry

[@jadekaiser7840]

This song... the song in general is decent, I suppose. I wouldn't call it spectacular, but it is decently good. That opening though.... Damn if that isn't just amazing.
