| 3 Doors Down – Here Without You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
When this band got their really big break, the record execs put them on the road and they began a grueling 3 yr tour. For three straight years non-stop they toured all over the world-You can listen to so many of their earlier songs on the albums after The Better Life (their first)you can hear the frustration in their songs-they were very homesick-and the thousand lies have made me colder lyric? That meant all of the "lies" that the music business tells the newbies-ex: your gonna be a star-your gonna be filthy rich-you won't ever want for anything ever again-etc....so when he says 'A thousand lies have made me colder, and I don't think I can look at this the same' he is saying-all of the lies have left him cold toward the music industry. There are ALOT of songs that When this band got their really big break, the record execs put them on the road and they began a grueling 3 yr tour.

There are ALOT of songs that just scream what they were feeling at the time. Ex Live For Today is a master of a song-it praises what the band feels of being able to live our their dreams, but at the same time-the line in the middle whispers what they fear: “We'll never know it when we run out of time 'til it's all over with And there'll be no where to run We'll never say it but we're over our heads and we're drowning inside all the things we've said” A LOT of their early songs are what they were going through-Brad wrote a lot of things about his personal life–he and Todd both went through painful divorces and you can hear what they were feeling at the time-thankful of what they have accomplished but sad at what they had lost along the way |

| 3 Doors Down – Ticket To Heaven Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| No it doesn't have anything to do with religion. When this band first got its first big break-the record company put them on the road immediately and they began a grueling schedule and worked there butts off!! I mean they toured non-stop for almost 3 years. The ticket to heaven that the are refering to is the ticket to fame-everybody chases it but when they catch it, they find out later that it has caught them back-and all they can do is sleep in the bed they made-this is what they wanted-and this is what they got-that is also the reference made to to want is to buy but to live is to die now ain't that a shame-this life on the road was killing them-it didn't matter how much money they were making-they never got off the hamster wheel long enough to spend it or enjoy it. One thing you can listen to in their first 3 albums was how hard it was for them to be on the road and not with the ones they love. I visited with them in Louisiana 6 yrs ago and they were wore out-they really were homesick-and that has alot to do with their earlier music. | |
