All Time Low

Less Than Jake

So this is what it feels like when you finally lose the spark
And this is what it feels like when you finally sober up
The sentence was prison, bars are on me, camouflage
Is it a real choice, get locked away, past dirty thoughts

And if words on a page could save my world
I'd write all day
But words won't change mistakes
Or take away their consequences

When I go I'll leave this note
I've hit my all time low
From my toes up to my throat
I've hit my all time low
I'll live life till I've lost control and
I've hit my all time low
My last words carved out in stone and
I've hit my all time low

Either side feels like surrender but I have announced defeat
It's a prison cell block going toward the Middle East
I'm in between just who I was and who I'm supposed to be
The choice for me is where it calls me to interrogate me

And if words on a page could save my world
I'd write all day
But words won't change mistakes
Or take away their consequences

When I go I'll leave this note
I've hit my all time low
From my toes up to my throat
I've hit my all time low
I'll live life till I've lost control and
I've hit my all time low
My last words carved out in stone and
I've hit my all time low

Stay or go, I feel I'm at the end of my rope
Stay or go, I feel like I am never going home
I wish there was someone else to blame
I wish words could change the way I feel today
If words could save my world
I'd write all day, forever

I've hit my all time low

I'll live life till I've lost control and
I've hit my all time low
My last words carved out in stone and
I've hit my all time low

    A few mistakes on this one, I think. Here's what I got::

    So this is what it feels like when you finally lose your spot And this is what it feels like when you finally sober up The sentence was prison bars or army camouflage Is it a real choice?; get locked away, dodge dirty bombs

    And if words on a page could save my world I'd write all day But words won't change mistakes or take away their consequences

    When I go I'll leave this note I've hit my all time low From my toes up to my throat I've hit my all time low I lived life 'til I lost control and I've hit my all time low My last words carved out in stone and I've hit my all time low

    Either side feels like surrender but I have mouths to feed It's a prison cell block or a tour of the middle east I'm in between just who I was and who I'm supposed to be The choice for me is wearing convict gray or military green

    And if words on a page could save my world I'd write all day But words won't change mistakes or take away their consequences

    When I go I'll leave this note I've hit my all time low From my toes up to my throat I've hit my all time low I lived life 'til I lost control and I've hit my all time low My last words carved out in stone and I've hit my all time low

    Stay or go I feel I'm at the end of my rope Stay or go I feel like I am never going home

    I wish there was someone else to blame I wish words could change the way I feel today If words could save my world I'd write all day forever

    I've hit my, I've hit my I've hit my all time low I've hit my, I've hit my I've hit my all time low

    I lived life 'til I lost control and I've hit my all time low My last words carved out in stone and I've hit my all time low

    I've hit my all time low

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
