Bayside – I and I Lyrics 19 years ago
i just saw these guys in concert on saturday and ant gave a little background to the song.
it's about everybody taking control of their own lives and and realizing that everything is okay, through the good and the bad everything is okay. like the song says, breathe and everything will be fine. it's about overcoming hardships. 'woe is me, woe were us' makes it seem like they're seeking pity. but that line is followed immediately by 'but not anymore, we stand up for ourselves'. there comes a time in everybody's life when they need to be in control of their lives and get over everything. this song embodise that time.
by 'i and i', this song refers to everybody. this is because i call myself i but you also call yourself i. so this song encompasses everybody because we are all 'i' to ourselves. in other words, we all need to take control of our lives and then 'everythings alright'.
this song is truly amazing. seeing them perform it is so much better. the passion that ant puts into every word that comes out of his mouth is completely unreal. amazing song, amazing band.
