    Lyrics:
    I only see myself reflected in your eyes
    So all that I believe I am essentially are lies
    And everything I've hoped to be or ever thought I was
    Died with your belief in me so who the hell am I?
    I'm wondering 'round confused
    Wondering why I try
    The more that you deny my pain
    The more it intensifies...
    I pray for someone to ache for me the way I ache for you...
    If you ignore that I'm alive
    I've nothing to cling to

      +nicholas biddle I put them on this list because they were an important part of the early hard edged alternative sound of the 90's. It is also good to name check a band like them to help get them better recognition to some people who may have not heard of them. Who cares whether they belong on this list. They belong on a list of important 90's metal/altetnative.

      Facts…It was an amazing concert year that year when 311 absolutely blew TF up I saw them around 32 times that summer of 96. Not that anyone cares but this song was a double edged sword bc I was dating this amazing woman & she was cool but I guess I did t have what it took to keep her. I used to always pretend to be the psycho guy in this video chasing around that dumb girl who actually reminded me a lot about her.I wish I could go back to the summer of 1996 & kick my own ass and tell the girl to royally KISS my ass & dump TF out her…Ahhh that was actually kind of cathartic getting that off my chest…She ended marrying a complete dork who starting balding at 17…Go get em dummy 🫵🏻🤮

      I saw them in 1999 for the Darkest Days tour, and the crowd was really energetic. I saw them again in 2017, and you had the old "Too many cell phones in the air schtick". Although, at one point, Christopher did grab one of the phones out of the hands of a person and did a panorama of the room and stage before handing it back. So, I guess that person has some good memories on camera app now.

    I don't know what's real without you
    How can I exist without you
    I'm wandering around confused
    Wondering why I tried
    The more that you deny my pain
    The more it intensifies
    I pray for someone to ache for me
    The way I ache for you
    If you ignore that I'm alive
    I've nothing to cling to
    I don't know if I am real without you
    What is left of me without you
    I don't know what's real without you
    How can I exist without you
    I stare into this mirror
    So tired of this life
    If only you would speak to me
    Or cared if I'm alive
    Once I swore I would die for you
    But I never meant like this
    I never meant like this
    No I never meant like this
    I don't know if I am real without you
    What is left of me without you
    I don't know what's real without you
    How can I exist without you
    How can I exist without you
    How can I exist without you

      those were good times. i was in high school in those days. yet, i was aware that trent reznor did have a problem with stabbing westward but he was conflicted since the drummer at that time was someone he used to play with in the exotic birds and played drums on the title track to "the downward spiral". i think the reason stabbing westward got pushed immensely at that time because NIN got successful and every record company wanted to get every band that sounded like NIN during a time when trent was inactive.

I was so wrapped up in the relationship that when in it ended I didn't want to go on. The closest I got was playing chicken with Semi-Trucks. In the music I found a shared pain that helped Me cope and carry on. Chris's lyrics were literally therapy.

I took him back and remember being impressed that he knew who Stabbing Westward was. Sadly, we met too early in life, had we met as adults, there could've been something. We stayed very close and always loved eachother though. Sadly he passed away about eleven years ago when we were 28. He never got the chance to get married or be a father, which he would have been wonderful. It was always bad timing with us. I miss him.
