I also like the chorus that has vocal harmony. When the harmony becomes the only vocals at around 1:05, I wish the voice were a little clearer because currently it sounds rather muddied to me. I had to listen to the song several times to understand some of the harmony's words, which I think were a repetition of "She could feel no pain; he made her sing." Also, sometimes it sounds as if the main vocal line surpassed the top recording volume.

I felt the song was organized well (with verses and chorus) and I like the short little ending.

The main feeling I had, though, while listening to the song was confusion: I couldn't understand the meaning of the lyrics even though I could understand most of the words. Did a woman, running and hiding from a screaming stalker, eventually give in to him, feeling no pain as he made her sing?? That seems strange. At first I thought the song was describing rape, and then I wasn't sure *what* the point of the song was. Is the song describing a "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" situation?

BTW, I like the picture with the mushrooms in the background that begins the YouTube video!

That is pleasantly odd.

First of all, thank you for your feedback, I always find your comments helpful. The song was recorded on a cheap skype mic, so that explains why the quality is poor. The harmony is derived from the chorus melody via software, so that is the best I could make it sound. The lyrics of the harmony are the same as in the chorus.
As for the meaning of the song, indeed it is about a stalker following the object of his obsession. The girl is hiding because she clearly doesn't feel the same way about him. In the verses it is implied that the stalker, in his twisted way, doesn't mean her harm, but his vision of harm is completely different than hers. He thinks that if he does to her the things that make him happy, those things would make her happy as well. In the end he finds her but she doesn't resist him, feeling that she would rather play the game than be it's victim. At least that is what I was trying to say. She knows that it is wrong to give unto him, but she still does it because she feels that the other choice is much worse.

I have been working on this for some time now. I thought I could post it and maybe get some feedback. Or not.

Hello, why are you looking through me?
Hello, can you see me?
I’m standing in your way!
Hello, why don’t you say anything?
Why aren’t you holding my hand?
I just want to leave!

Forgive me, but is time to move on.
Forgive me ’cause things will never be the same.
Forgive me, nothing you do could make me stay
Now I see I will just be a memory.

Stand up, I want to bid my farewell
Hello, can you hear me?
I’m screaming in your ear!
Tell me, why are my hands cold as ice?
Why does my heart beat no more?
I just want to leave!

Forgive me, but is time to move on.
Forgive me ’cause things will never be the same.
Forgive me, nothing you do could make me stay
Now I see I will just be a memory.

Slowly I am falling apart.
Kind of feels like flying. It’s not.
I just want to hear you forgive me.
And I’ll be happy even if I’m leaving.

Forgive me (forgive me), but is time to move on.
Forgive me (forgive me) ’cause things will never be the same.
Forgive me (forgive me), nothing you do could make me stay
Now I see (forgive me) I will just be a memory.

I know I'm not the best lyricist in the world, but I did put some effort into this, so I thought I should share

At The End

You wanted everything the easy way
You wanted all and now you have to pay
You wanted everything but so have I
That’s why we desperately just sit and cry

Now I close my eyes
Somehow I feel fine.
I have seen it all in here
Now I let it go.

You wanted everything the easy way
You wanted all and now you have to pay
You wanted everything but so have I
That’s why we desperately just sit and cry

Now you may walk free
Leave it all with me.
Now when I am far behind you
Your decision is clear.

You couldn’t see me as you walked away
Although my resting place was on your way
You just kept going without looking back
You found your freedom and I found my death.

Can you pretend that ther’s nothing behind you
I will be waiting when you see that it’s true.
You won’t remember but I will forgive you.
I will be waiting for you.

You wanted everything the easy way
You wanted all and now you have to pay
Now you feel free cause you can still pretend
That I’m not waiting for you at the end
