I don’t know where to go
Ain’t no light to light my road
stumbling under the stars above

Somehow feel someone’s stare
turn around nobody there
never knowing if I’m all alone
cause paranoia is the only friend that I know
and everybody else is gone
their eyes are burning into my heart
we’ll fall and feeling fear I can’t go on
and nobody will sound the alarm

Sit around late at night
sitting by the fireside
planning out to bury me alive
and when I’m done they all will laugh about how I died.
Cause everybody else is gone
their eyes are burning into my heart
we’ll fall and feeling fear I can’t go on
and nobody will sound the alarm

in the darkness of my mind
I hear a voice that seems to sigh
I’m going to die before I save myself

And everybody else is gone
Their eyes are burning into my heart
We’ll fall
and feeling fear I can’t go on
and nobody will sound the alarm
we’ll fall
and feeling fear I can’t go on
and nobody will sound the alarm

    this song is amazing. I was afraid the new album would be bad, but it's definately not at all. I love saves the day because they evolve with every cd.

    This whole album is pretty angry, but ahhhh "amazing" doesn't even do it justice. Listening to this cd while driving home after a bad day does it good and makes you feel like you're not the only person in the world that's pissed off...

    This is such a dreary song. You can see how Chris feels really lonely, but "nobody will sound the alarm" because it results in good music. There's a whole lot of lonliness and paranoia on this album. It's on the edge of "this isn't funny anymore."

    with the pattern of the songs, and they all seem to have the general theme of Chris trying to escape from something, either demons in his mind, or real demons(fictional obviously) or anything else, anyone else think of sound the alarm as a concept album?

    p.s. hell yea to the comment bout the solo

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
