the last time

i won't stand in your way,
let your hatred grow.
and she'll scream and she'll shout
and she'll pray
and she had a name,
yeah, she had a name.

i won't hold you back.
let your anger rise.
and we'll fly and we'll fall and we'll burn,
no one will recall, no one will recall.

this is the last time i'll abandon you,
and this is
the last time i'll forget you.
i wish i could...

look to the stars,
let hope burn in your eyes.
and we'll love and we'll hate and we'll die,
all to no avail, all to no avail.

this is the last time i'll abandon you,
and this is
the last time i'll forget you.
i wish i could...

| muse, stockholm syndrome, absolution |

the stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage can show signs of having feelings of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger (or at least risk) in which the hostage has been placed. (...) the syndrome is named after the norrmalmstorg robbery of kreditbanken at norrmalmstorg, stockholm, sweden, in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage from august 23 to august 28 in 1973. in this case, the victims became emotionally attached to their victimizers, and even defended their captors after they were freed from their six-day ordeal. the termstockholm syndrome was chosen by the criminologist and psychiatrist nils bejerot, who assisted the police during the robbery, and referred to the syndrome in a news broadcast.
