I'm cutting through
You’re bleeding out
And I would tell the truth
But I can’t help myself
red rushes out, dissect this nerve
And I will stop myself
Before I reach my cell
I wasn’t asking for the world
And you know that I’m not one to follow through
All these city streets
The people look the same
And I can see your face
And I can hear your name
I wasn’t asking for the world
Your stabbing in
permanent scars
And you’ll justify
it all inside yourself
You’ve finishED me
my pulse is gone
And you're satisfied to put this all to hell
I wasn’t asking for the world
And you know that I’m not one to follow through
All these city streets
The people look the same
And I can see your face
And I can hear your name
I wasn’t asking for the world
Drink the poison when you think it’s over
Stabbing yourself when you think it’s too late
Tragic endings are your thing
You love them
You love letting go
The endings the same
Drink the poison when you think it’s over
inevitable, Verona lives inside of you
I wasn’t asking for the world
And you know that I’m not one to follow through
All these city streets
The people look the same
And I can see your face
And I can hear your name
I wasn’t asking for the world

Okay, yes, this song may make references to Romeo and Juliet, but that doesn't mean it's ABOUT the play. Romeo and Juliet is the classic take of star-crossed lovers, pain, death, suicide, etc. Which is also what the vast majority of Silverstein songs are about. I highly doubt they wrote this song after reading, the play; more likely they just threw in the references as an art of self-expression.
Well... | Reviewer: Riku | 5/17/09
I think the title "Your Sword Versus My Dagger" means this;
The dagger is an obvious representation of the suicide that unfolds in the play Romeo and Juliet.
The sword is also an obvious symbol, it's a tool used to kill.
Now the versus is what makes it tricky. I think that the title basically says "Will you use your hate to kill me, or will my own grief be my demise?"
That's my thoughts.

If you coudlnt tell that its frum romeo and juilet all you have to do is read there book
GREAT SONG | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/7/07
i first heard this song off of a friend and i got him to bluetooth it to me finding out this refers to romeo and juliet.....well it makes me like romeo and juliet better hahaha but i think you sword versus my dagger i allways thought that it reffered to skill and speed having the overall win over power referring to the speed of the song and the general beat of it "anybody agree"

Well this is one of my favorite songs. I cant decide between this In Pieces by Linkin Park and Tears Dont Fall. I never really understood the lyrics when he screams. I havent listened to screaming for a long time but finding out its lightly based off romeo and juliet kind of disappoints me. I have been against that play ever sinced I was forced to read it four years in a row.

Beautiful.
I especially love the line "Inevitabley, Verona lives inside of you." as well as the "the people look the same".
It's just beautiful.
I love Silverstein for this.
: )
However the song title throws me off a bit, for the suicides were by a dagger and poison, not a sword..
Or maybe the sword is referring to Tybalt and Mercutio's deaths...?
No idea.
Good song, nonetheless.

My Song Of The Week | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/27/07
The fisrt time I heard this song, I just head it as a fabulous song. After listening to it religiously a few times, I caught the literary referrence to "Romeo And Juliet," which only makes me like the song better. It's amazing to dissect the song and look for the meaning of it, underneath the analogies and metaphors.
