	this songs has a lot of meaning ot me, because sometinhg simaliar has happened to me, and it hurts the most because it's someone yu trust and feel comfortable around, and then they do something like that to you. it's something that is burned in your memory forever. I completly understand the meaning of this song.

No Picture Fresh Average	#3 by Fresh at May 25, 1975 at 5:42 AM EST
	basically the first tour went on, while brett was still in the band, and it was about 6 or 7 weeks long. dan was seeing a girl (not neccesarily a girlfriend, just a very close relationship). she was going through a lot of things and was looking for someone to help her out. when dan left the tour, he (not dan or brett, a member of the church the girl went to) was really involved in the church, so she really trusted him. they went out together, not even really on a date, just to hang out and he raped her. alot of the song has to do with the fact that when she told people, no one would believe her since he was a such a great member of the church.

	isn't is supposed to be "petals"? with a "t"? that's how petals is spelled. otherwise, with a "d", you're talking like, bicycle pedals.

No Picture Wacko Average	#9 by Wacko Jacko at Oct 27, 1990 at 6:57 PM EST
	ohh i get it now she mustve been a virgin. thats soo sad, mad thats horrible. because loosing your virginity is referred to as "de-flowering" ... her petals are slowly torn away... scarlet, oh man, thats so horrible. amazing song, but really sad.

No Picture josh Average	#10 by josh 73h 1337 pw3nr at Mar 12, 1993 at 8:33 PM EST
	wooow. i had no clue this song was about rape victim. i thought it was about a bully making fun of someone. -"his words were sharpened hooks beneath your skin u left them in" see i thought the bully was calling someone bad names, and those bad words stayed with the victim for a long time and really hurt him deep. and usually we make fun of people to make ourselfves feel better. so "he shined into the eyes around him" when he was cutting this other person down it made him look cool. but that makes more sense that its a rape victim. dan weyandt is so smart with his lyrics! zao forever!

No Picture Cody Average	#11 by Cody Ballenger at Nov 21, 1995 at 10:53 PM EST
	So far the analysis is right on. To clear up the who-raped-who question, watching the documentary on the ZAO DVD, "The Lesser Lights of Heaven," Dan talks about this. It was in fact a member of the church who raped his close friend, and it was sort of the last straw, if you will, between Dan and the church. Brett left because Juliana Theory, his other band, started taking off, and he was getting tired of just playing hardcore stuff (again, as said in "The Lesser Lights of Heaven").

	it's just something that's been bothering me for quite some time now. flower petals are with a t, bike pedals with a d. that's how it works.
