Lights – River Lyrics 16 years ago
Your lyrics are pretty spot on, just a few little corrections. I got these from the album booklet:
"Out across cities I see buildings burn into piles"
"And trees losing their leaves and our faces becoming tired"
"Put me in the undertow"
"I want where you're going"

As for the meaning of the song, I see it as being tired of life and wanting to get away, or something to that effect. I love the chorus, it's catchy.

Saosin – Say Goodbye Lyrics 16 years ago
From the album booklet:

You seem so disappointed within,
This act of yours is just a sin.
You know it's so easy to tell you abuse it,
Don't tell me you're useless,
They told me you're happy now.

I can't keep holding you up,
I'm overcome by the weight of the mud
Drying up around you
(You're pulling me under)
You know I'll never forget you
(You're pulling me under)
I can't keep pulling you up.
Tell me if you ever stop.
I'll never forget you, oh no
I'll never forget you.

Say goodbye,
It's all you wanted
Let's hope Hollywood cares.
I'll open the lens up so you all can.
Say goodbye,
It's all you wanted.
Let's hope somebody cares
And you'll see that nobody's watching.

Tell me why you wanted to change.
Tell me why you're so nervous to say
What you're really thinking.
The feeling of sinking is setting in
You used to being so much happier.

I can't keep holding you up,
I'm overcome by the weight of the mud
Drying up around you
(You're pulling me under)
You know I'll never forget you
(You're pulling me under)
I can't keep pulling you up.
Tell me if you ever stop.
I'll never forget you, oh no
I'll never forget you.

Say goodbye,
It's all you wanted
Let's hope Hollywood cares.
I'll open the lens up so you all can.
Say goodbye,
It's all you wanted.
Let's hope somebody cares
And you'll see that nobody's watching.

You can't turn away.
Make up your face and get high,
Make up your face and get high again.
[x2]

'Cause when you sign your deal
You're as good as dead.

Say goodbye,
It's all you wanted
Let's hope Hollywood cares.
I'll open the lens up so you all can.
Say goodbye,
It's all you wanted.
Let's hope somebody cares
And you'll see that nobody's watching.

Saosin – On My Own Lyrics 16 years ago
I agree. There are several parts throughout the new album that remind me of Thrice.

Saosin – Fireflies (Light Messengers) Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is gorgeous; my favorite from the new album. It's a much more mature sound and for some reason, it reminds me of Thrice post-Vheissu. Not sure why, but I just can't shake that fdeeling.

In regards to meaning, I get a more spiritual feel from it, but I'm not too sure.

Lyrics as I hear them:

Sinking, falling in too deep and I regret it
"I don't know" is all we have left to say
How do we pick ourselves up now
If the clouds bring the rain
Before we evaporate

I'll never be able to say
I love you, I love you
I love you

[Chorus:]
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes.

Thinking about all my regrets and contradictions
Where did I go?
I thought this was the right way
Do I learn to grow up now
Or just fade away under this tree of fame

Or will I be able to say,
I love you, I love you

[Chorus]

And all you do
And all you say
Washes away, away with rain
And all you thought would never change
Washes it away, it'll never be the same
'Cause all I see is
And all I feel
Takes me away, takes me away

And all you do
And all you say
Washes away, away with rain
And all you thought would never change
Washes it away, it'll never be the same

Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes

[Chorus]

Wish I could love you
And I don't regret the rain
And now that I'm sinking
I will just say goodbye
