My Last Breath - Demo This is the demo version. The guitars and vocals are slightly different.
0:00 - 0:14
Hold on to me love You know I can’t stay long All I wanted to say was I love you and I’m not afraid (Ahhh) Can you hear me? Can you feel me in your arms?
Holding my last breath Safe inside myself Are all my thoughts of you Sweet raptured light It ends here tonight
I’ll miss the winter A world of fragile things Look for me in the white forest Hiding in a hollow tree (Come find me) I know you hear me I can taste it in your tears
Holding my last breath (Holding my last breath) Safe inside myself (Safe inside myself) Are all my thoughts of you (of you) Sweet raptured light It ends here tonight (It ends here)
2:04 - 2:12
Closing your eyes to disappear You pray your dreams will leave you here But still you wake and know the truth No one’s there
Say goodnight Don’t be afraid Calling me calling me as you fade to black
(Say goodnight) Holding my last breath (Don’t be afraid) Safe inside myself are all my thoughts of you (Of you) (Calling me calling) Sweet raptured light It ends here tonight
Say goodnight Don't be afriad (It ends here tonight) Calling me calling me As you fa–

Some info: Not much is known about this demo. It's a demo . That's pretty much it. Some people connect the phrase 'I'll miss the winter...hiding in a hollow tree. (come find me)' with the book' 'Dante's Inferno' because it matches descriptions with the book scenery. Info from: Fourms...(can't remember which one)

I didn't make that connection when I read The Inferno. Did your source happen to say which level of hell the scenery matched up with? I'm kind of having this vague memory of a level with trees now...I'm going to have to look it up. Fortunately, I just brought my copy with me from home about a week ago. (I read The Inferno and The Purgatorio, but I didn't finish The Paradiso, so now I need to reread them all.)

Alls I remember is people saying that on Fallen, the song MLB reminded them of Dante's Inferno because of the snow and people in hollow trees. I forgot the specifics and I don't think I wrote it in my notes, but it's something about the trees.

The snow is down where Satan is at the very bottom of hell (Ninth Circle), frozen in place and chewing on Judas Iscariot and the two guys who assassinated Julius Caesar--well, there's ice there, and maybe snow. (It's been a while since I read it.)
But I found the thing about trees. They were referring to The Wood of the Suicides that is in the Seventh Circle of Hell and described in Canto XIII of The Inferno.
From the summary at the beginning of the Canto in my copy, written by the translator, John Ciardi: (I'd type up the actual poetry for it, too, or at least some of it, but it's long, and I hurt my finger today, so I'm not typing very fast. You can probably find it online if you're curious.)
Ouch. Anyway, if you choose to believe that Amy was referring to this, it would definitely indicate that the person in the song had committed suicide. The song kind of has a suicide vibe to it anyway, so it's not crazy. But I'd always gotten the feeling that "hiding in a hollow tree" was more of a hiding-in-sanctuary sort of thing than something dreadful and violent like The Wood of the Suicides. That's probably why I didn't pick this out the first time I read it.

Or like someone who is dying (obviously) and they were saying their last words.
Or maybe that the person is heart broken and is dying because of that. If anyone doesn't know, broken heart syndrome is an illness that some have. You may have minor (little and I mean little) heart attacks because of it. I think the little heart attacks are known as silent heart attacks? I donno I may be getting that confused with some other medical term/condition.
I also love the double bass beat to have the heart beat effect.[/size]
