I've started making this video but I don't have the motivation to continue... Seems I'm never going to be able to do another Lost video unless it involves Charlie or Desmond. *sigh*
But anyway, this song is about drug addiction but it could easily be about death. I think it could also include a lot of Boone too and Shannon's sadness over losing him. It's got very quiet verses and a very powerful chorus. Great beat too! I think it's an amazing song! (and for the younglings out there, you might have heard part of this song in an Eminem song )

I have the video all planned out if anyone is interested in hearing my ideas for this one!
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
(This would be Shannon at her father's funeral and Boone conforting her)
It wasn't my intention to mislead you
It never should have been this way
What can I say
(This is Shannon 'conning' Boone, showing her bruises)
It's true I did extend the invitation
I never knew how long you'd stay
When you hear temptation call
It's your heart that takes, takes a fall
Boone and Shannon having sex and Boone looking depressed after.
Won't you come out and play with me
CHORUS:
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers
(This is Boone's death)
It's getting hard to wake up in the morning
My head is spinning constantly
How can it be
How could I be so blind to this addiction
If I don't stop the next one's gonna be me
Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain
(This is about Shannon grief about losing Boone)
Won't you come out and play with me
CHORUS:
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers
(this might be about all the other lostie deaths - Ana, Libby, Eko, Charlie and then scenes of the funerals)
Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain
(Shannon's relationshiop with Sayid)
Won't you come out and play with me (shot of Walt talking to Shannon)
CHORUS:
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers
Then this is about Shannon dying too and Sayid's grief over it. _________________
