and thoes lyrics on wrong for the new discovering the waterfron cd. its: "you wont find me here the place that you expected me to be in my bed on the 2nd floor i'm inside your house i'm closing in on you and all the times you smiled you said hello and thought i was ok i was planning your final struggle but when you wake up ill be there when you see me you'll be on your back again when you, when you, when you, when you know your already dead you'll love me too you will find me here the place you least expected me to be breaking through your basement window i'm outside your room i can hear you breathe and all the times you laughed you shook my hand and thought i was your friend i was planning your tragic ending but when you wake up ill be there when you see me you'll be on your back again when you, when you, when you, when you know your already dead you'll love me too you'll look down on me, with eyes of endless tragedy try and stop the pain, but there's never closure find your solace in what you could have been when they look for me, the evidence is buried deep try to guide the way into the darkness but when you wake up ill be there when you see me you'll be on your back again when you, when you, when you, when you know your already dead you'll love me too looking down on me through eyes that never stop crying looking down on me, will you ever look away?"

I love this song. and i love "The Lovely Bones" it is such an amazing book. The song means so much more and makes more sense once you read the novel. I like that it coems from the point of view of the rapist/murderer. its a different way to look at the situation. And if you compare that view to the point of view of the book (the 14 year old girl) it brings more depth the both the song and the book. a great song with depth and a different way of looking at things. love it.

It's definitely about a girl he was in a relationship before, hence the lines "on your back again" the word "Again" implying that he has seen her there before, probably during sex, and then "you'll love me too" they broke up, she thought it was all cool and they were friends, but he is so broken about the whole thing, that he feels like it's worth killing her. I'm thinking he said that he loves her and she said it's not working out, again, back to "you'll love me too". And then since the title is "Already Dead" and then there's the phrases "final struggle" and "tragic ending", he definitely kills her (maybe not in real life, but in the song) "Try to stop the pain, but there's never closure" I think means that she is finally feeling the way that he does, he hurts very badly that she just kinda left him, and he wants to make her feel that same way. He never felt closure in the relationship, and he wants her not to feel any closure in the situation. But, at the end "looking down on me, will you ever look away", he's either feeling guilty that she's looking down on him from heaven, or he can't bring himself to kill her because she has this sad lil look on her face and he just can't do it. Those are my thoughts.

I get the hint that he wants something more in that relationship, and becuase "she" doesnt accept that, he wants to plan some sort of revege on her... Idk for sure though...

"when they look for me, the evidence is buried deep try to guide the way into the darkness" That part is obviously when he is going to be caught for his crime...
