This riff is repeated throughout the entire song with a few little variations I didn't
bother with.

The site said my tab is too short(?) so here is a bunch of jibberish:

Personally, this song reminds me of how people try to hide the part of themselves they hate (or thier dark side) and they deny it is real.

I like Snow White's interpretation. I never thought about it that way.

Personally, I think this song is about eating disorders, particularly anorexia. A lot of people with the disease tend to make her into a person or voice and that person talk to them teling them that they are a bad person but if they lose weight thing will get better. The sufferer knows that the voice isn't really real but listens to it anyway and ends up getting confused as to what's actually happening. "Hello I'm here to invite you To things you cannot feel" - is like an invitation to start listening to the voice. It's trying to tempt you into becoming something that you cannot currently feel beacuse you are 'too fat' but even when you lose weight you will still believe the smae thing, you will never think of yourself as beautiful. "and if you push me too far You might believe I'm real" - If you get too obsessed with it, you start to think that the voice is real and what it says is real. "Teeth scrape beneath the sweater To when you hate and steal" - Often suffers wear baggy sweaters to cover up thier weight loss but hate what's hidden by the fabric and sometimes even scrap at their own flesh "Or do you think it better To obsess and not reveal" - Suffers become obsessed with losing weight but never show it off beacuse they will either get caught and be made to gain weight as well as the fact they still believe they are fat. "I know your secret It scrapes you way down" - Anorexics try thier hardest to keep thier disease secret and it brings them down beacuse they spend so much time trying to cover it up. "Everything was clean Now everything's brown" - Everything used to be alright, but anorexia has corrupted everything and made it dirty or blood stained "Don't try to hide it Know you cannot feel" - Anorexia numbs your feelings of anything else, you beacome completely obsessed by losing weight and nothing else matters "You can't erase what you are So don't even try" - once anorexia takes a hold, it's practically impossible to get rid of it, the habbits, the tendancies, the thought patterns no matter how hard you attempt "and how can I be truthful When everything I am is a lie" - Anorexia is just a lis. It doesnt make you beautiful - it destroys you. But the voice says it's telling the truth. That's my take on it, anyway

"You can't erase what you are So don't even try and how can I be truthful When everything I am is a lie" Orgasmic x

I think dead snow white is right! Besides from the bit when it says: "I know your secret It scrapes you way down" its saying how the voice knows that these anorexic people's stomachs are not filled with food and this makes their tummy grumble and since they carry on not eating anything then the grumble gets a bit more extreme, so much so that it feels like something is scratching the inside of their stomach.

..... mmmmyeah! I try not to hold grudges but there is the exception of my ex-lover. If only I can carve the words from this song onto his heart.. I'd be a happy woman. Resentment is a waste of time, redemption carries all the glory... its so cheap, and I feel ashamed of myself but to know he still craves me makes me feel so much bigger than him.
