Forks forest
I have to post it somewhere! :) This is my analysis of the song "The Sharpest Lives" by My Chemical Romance in relation to my Fanfiction titled 'Hear No Evil' for Twilight. It's a bit random for an entry, but w/e! :) 

I must add that I spoil some things in there that you may not know yet, depending on when you read this and how far the story has gotten since then.

"Well it rains and it pours" - Bella - the weather of Forks
"When you're out on your own" - Bella - Bella is all alone 
"If I crash on the couch can I sleep in my clothes" - Bella - Bella at the Cullens' house, being typical Bella and thinking of everyone else before herself
"Cause I spent the night dancing" - Bella - Bella happy after senior prom (end of story)
"I'm drunk I suppose" - Bella - when she's starting her relationship with Edward and 'drunk on love' 
"If it looks like I'm laughing I'm really just asking to leave" - Bella - Bella using sign language to communicate
"This alone" - Bella - she is alone (until she finds the Cullens)
"You're in time for the show" - Bella > Cullens - when they finally meet her (because she's so different from normal vampires, it's a 'show')
"You're the one that I need" - Bella - Bella to Edward ;)
"I'm the one that you loathe" - Bella - Bella to Victoria 
"You can watch me corrode" - Bella - Bella about her diminishing hope (nearer the end)
"Like a beast in repose" - Bella - Bella on the thirst of vampires 
"Cause I love all the poison" - Victoria - Victoria, and 'poison' is her, making a mess of Bella's life because of James (what Victoria does to Bella, basically)
"Away with the boys in the van" - Bella - when she goes off with her new brothers on a hunting trip
(Chorus - or 'reused lines throught song')
"I've really been on a bender and it shows" - Bella - Bella referring to her years as a lone vampire
"So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes" - Bella - Bella to Edward before the big chase begins 
"Give me a shot to remember" - Bella - Bella talking about 1) her inability to remember her past clearly at first and 2) the venom 'shot' that transformed her - when she's talking to Victoria
"And you can take all the pain away from me / A kiss and I will surrender" - Bella - Bella to Edward (mostly about their relationship when he's hesitant to get closer to her becuase he thinks he's souless and doesn't deserve her)
"The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead" - Bella - 'sharpest lives' = vegetarian vampire life (from there it's literal)
"A light to burn all the empires" - Volturi - Volturi thinking about Bella's differences and wondering if the Cullen family is a danger to their rule if it keeps adding members
"So that the sun is ashamed to rise and be" - Bella - Bella's plan and her thought that she can get rid of Victoria herself, without letting her new famiyl be put in danger
"In love with all of these vampires" - Bella - Bella about the Cullens :)
"So you can leave like the sane abandoned me" - Victoria - Victoria about Bella, and her eagerness to get rid of her because she still sees Bella as a threat to her love for James even though James doesn't remember her ( the 'sane abandoned her')
(No longer Chorus, just the rest of the lines)
"There's a place in the dark" - Bella - Bella about the darkness that she's lived in for so long without the Cullens
"Where the animals go" - Edward - Edward referring to where they're going to hunt when they go together
"You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow" - Bella - Bella viciously snarling at Victoria in their final facedown (basically, 'go kill yourself you monster' is my rought translation)
"Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands" - no POV - about Bella and her love for Edward
"Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo" - no POV - about Edward's thought that Bella ran off to face Victoria alone and he might be the cause of it (I'm not sure how it's going to work out in the story, I haven't reached that scene yet) :)

So, that's it! I hope you enjoyed the in-depth look at my mind (this is how I pull apart songs and relate them to my stories). :) Thanks for enjoying my weirdness!

Oh, and I have 2 DAYS until school starts again! NOOO.....but then again, I get to see everyone again. That's cool. :)  And back on the other hand, I don't have much time left for my stories once school starts. Darn it!
