	This is my favorite song of all the songs I've written. But be careful, it'll stick in your head.

	Story Behind the Song This song has been rewritten several times. When I first wrote it, it was so obscure that it was impossible to decipher. However, I think it is "getable" now. It's "about what it's like to love someone who doesn't love you back". The idea of Love being Hades' flower is that it is beautiful, but can be nothing more than the enticement of the Evil One. What the chorus is talking about is how I always find myself "in love" with someone, when I know that they don't love me back (my cliche and my decay), but I keep doing it because I love being in love (my solace, my redemption). In the end, there is resolve that I can accept the cards I have been dealt. Listen and hear the lyrics. See if you get it. Lyrics I feel alone in this crowded room. Now, I’ve become my own cliché. You’ve pushed me down a mental chasm, and thus propose my soul’s decay. But Hades’ flow’r is now in bloom, and, though I’ve yet to speak a word, you can’t see my spirit spasm And you don’t even seem concerned. This is my solace This is my own cliche This is my redemption This is my own decay This great gulf I’m falling down, it makes splinters fly I see her face; it stares from up above. I start grasping and I cry. She turns away, my voice the only sound as I extend my ungrasped hand. So I embrace the now approaching ground. I’ve lost all feeling, but I can stand.
