Music is not merely auditory, but it envelops a visual, imaginative element as well. Sometimes I like closing my eyes, concentrating on the lyrics and seeing what scene grows in my mind.
For this song, I see myself sitting in a courtroom, in a chair with my hands upraised and my body covered in sweat. I’m in the middle of a court case where I am on trial for committing some crime, all for this one girl that I am in love with. I’m about to be sentenced to death, but I yell that I’m not afraid to die because I did it out of love. The girl is crying, but I tell that her everything is okay. She screams that it is an unfair trial and I shouldn’t be sentenced to death. In the end, I am. I tell her that everything is okay. We tried.
