I think the narrarator is actually her fiance(because of the whole thing about her not being able to wear her wedding gown in front of him. The groom can't see the bride's dress before the wedding), and he catches her cheating on him, so he kills her and the guy she's cheating with.

It's about a relationship that's on the rocks. The couple fights all the time. He is killing her little by little and she wanted it to work out(imaginary wedding gown,engagement ring,and rice grains/roses). Breaking her heart so many times has been imprinted in his mind. He is saying it won't work out. He kills her and then himself so they can forget the heartache and end the relationship. The potential future relationship is destroyed. He doesn't regret it either("well celebrate the end of things"). He would kill a thousand men for her but he thought it would take more just to be with her. He would kill more men just to prove that he loves her. He wants to forget her without any problems(without a sound and I wish you away).


"drowning lessons" is a way to end a relationship. Most people sink,drown and die after one try. Some people endure so much that they "drown"(break up) and get back together over and over again. He compares breaking up to drowning because both should be easy but each situation is so bad they need lessons to break up.

Without a sound I took her down
and dressed in red and blue
( red and blue are pills, he took a bunch of his pills don't believe me then I refer to another song, head first for halos. "and now the red ones make me fly
and the blue ones help me fall")

I squeezed
imaginary wedding gown
that you can't wear in front of me(they were supposed to be married, but she had an affair, so thinks about killing her)

a kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
as rice grains and roses fall at your feet
lets say goodbye, the hundredth time
and then tomorrow we'll do it again
tomorrow we'll do it again(they will say they are breaking up, but then they will get back together just to do the same thing over and over)

i dragged her down I put her out
and back there I left her where no one could see
and lifeless cold into this well(there he goes thinking about killing her)

i stared as this moment was held for me
a kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
as rice grains and roses fall at your feet
let's say goodbye, the hundredth time
and then tomorrow we'll do it again( the repetitive breaking up and getting together again thing)

i never thought it'd be this way
just me and you, we're here alone
and if you stay, all I'm asking for is
a thousand bodies piled up
i never thought would be enough
to show you just what I've been thinking( he killed a thousand evil men to prove her love to her, and he is wondering why it wasn't enough)

and I'll keep on making more
just to prove that I adore( he is still trying to prove his love, win her back becuase he cheated)
every inch of sanity
all I'm asking for is, all I'm asking for is

these hands stained red

from the times that I've killed you and then
we can wash down this engagement ring
with poison and kerosene
we'll laugh as we die
and we'll celebrate the end of things
with cheap champagne(they will die together, and laugh at the stupidity of all they have been through)

Without a sound I took her down
and dressed in red and blue
( red and blue refers to blood and bruises)

I squeezed
imaginary wedding gown
that you can't wear in front of me(it was their wedding day and he wasnt allowed to see here in the dress before she walked down the isle)

a kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
as rice grains and roses fall at your feet
lets say goodbye, the hundredth time
and then tomorrow we'll do it again
tomorrow we'll do it again(he kills her and gets a new love and repeats it)

i dragged her down I put her out
and back there I left her where no one could see
and lifeless cold into this well(he dumps the dead body into the well)

i stared as this moment was held for me
a kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
as rice grains and roses fall at your feet
let's say goodbye, the hundredth time
and then tomorrow we'll do it again(its the same thing, he gets a new fiance and its their wedding day and he repeats what he did to the last one(s))

i never thought it'd be this way
just me and you, we're here alone
and if you stay, all I'm asking for is
a thousand bodies piled up
i never thought would be enough
to show you just what I've been thinking(the reason the guy killed all his other finances in because he was waiting for the right one)

and I'll keep on making more
just to prove that I adore
every inch of sanity
all I'm asking for is, all I'm asking for is
(he'll keep on killing more to prove he ISN'T crazy...:P)

these hands stained red
(with blood)

from the times that I've killed you and then
we can wash down this engagement ring
with poison and kerosene
we'll laugh as we die
and we'll celebrate the end of things
with cheap champagne(the will lock themselves into a burning building and celebrate their death)

Hmmm... I've been thinking that it's about a relationship that is really troubling him, and he wants to find a way to break up with her. But he realises that he still loves her incredibly, despite the fact that he can't stand having her around- "we'll say goodbye the hundredth time, and tomorrow we'll do it again"- he tries and tries to end the relationship, but can never bring himself to do it. "As rice grains and roses fall at your feet"- this could mean that every attempt to make things right fall by the wayside.

Eventually I think either a) they kill themselves or b) the relationship is ended after a particulary bad disagreement. And they're glad that it has ended- "We'll celebrate the end of things with cheap champagne"- the 'cheap champagne' factor could symbolise that the relationship was never really worth much effort, as they don't bother to splurge a little and celebrate the end of things with decent splendour.
