text: miss murder......i'm not sure what the meaning is... ? i have my own meaning on it. but i'm not sure abut other people so id really like to get some outside ideas on what it's about... thanx drctrs cut this is what i brought you, this you can keep, this is what i brought, you may forget me i promise to depart, just promise one thing. kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.  this is what i brought you this you can keep, this is what i brought you may forget me i promise you my heart, just promise to sing. kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.  kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep. this is what i thought, i thought you’d need me this is what i thought, so think me naive. i promised you a heart, you promised you’d keep. kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep. kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.  hey, miss murder can i  hey, miss murder can i  make beauty stay if i  take my life?   with just a look, they shook,  and heavens bowed before him.  simply a look, can break, your heart.   the stars that pierced the sky  he left them all behid at first i had the "jesus theory" about the song too. i thought he meant that jesus left the glory of heaven "the stars that pierce the sky, he left them all behind" so he could come to lay down his life. and he's going to come back but they're asking why he left us all behind. but then i realized they probably werent talking about that. i think they meant that this man wants to die so his beauty can be preserved. but then again.....i don't know, i have my own personal meaning of the song.
