Stockhlom Syndrome

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. Yea she had a name



And I won't hold you back

Let your anger rise

And we'll fly and we'll fall and we'll burn

Noone will recall. Noone 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 hope 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

This is the last time I'll abandon you

And this is the last time I'll forget you

I wish I could

I wish I could



Song Meaning:

Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger (or at least risk) in which the hostage has been placed. This is the song's theme, as reflected in lyrics such as, "This is the last time I'll forget you/I wish I could."



The syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg, Stockholm, Sweden, in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage and the victims became emotionally attached to their victimisers, and even defended their captors after they were freed from their six-day ordeal
