| Three Days Grace – The Good Life Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This is probably my favorite song off of the album; here's my interpretation. "The good life is What I need Too many people Stepping over me The only thing that's Been on my mind Is the one thing before I die" I believe that the song is about a middle/lower class person who wants a richer life, like money and fame, not particularly drugs and alcohol. I found this in the lines "Too many people steppin' over me" "All I want is a little of The good life All I need is to have A good time The good life" This reinforces the above position to me, but getting a bit obsessive about it. He also seems to be a bit sad/depressed about his current life, shown in "Have a good time". "I don't really know Who I am It's time for me To take a stand I need a change and I need it fast I know that any day Could be the last" This could be that he is having fun with the good life, but is having trouble remembering his old self, possibly even losing his values. That, or he quickly needs to change from his old life to preserve himself. "Hold on Hold on I always wanted it this way I never wanted it this way Hold on Hold on I always wanted it this way We didn't ask for it this way I always wanted it this way" Now they feel uneasy about what they've done, getting indecisive. The "I always/never wanted it this way" is his mind arguing about his decision and is trying to make a decision. I'm a bit tired, so the interpretation isn't as good as it normally would be. |

Wow, this is such a powerful song, and here's what I think: The entire song seems to be about a couple who broke up, where one of them still loves the other and is begging them to come back, while the other is watching and enjoying their pain. "I always knew that you would come back to get me And you always knew that it wouldnt be easy To go back to the start to see where it all began Or end up at the bottom to how it all ends" This, to me, shows that the other partner has only come back to see how much the other is hurting, and has no intentions of returning to them. "You tried to lie and say I was everything I remember when I said Im nothing without you Im nothing without you" "Somehow I found a way to get lost in you Let me inside let me get close to you Change your mind Ill get lost if you want me to Somehow I found a way to get lost in you" This shows how much the partner loved the other one, and how much they want them back. By saying "I was lost in you" is to say that they put so much of themselves into that person that they cannot live alone anymore. "You always thought that I left myself open But you didnt know I was already broken I told myself that it wouldnt be so bad But pulling away you took everything I had" This reveals something of the relationships past, something where he must have found that the partner didn't love them, and they responded to that by breaking up with them. "But pulling you away took everything I had" shows that the one that still loves teh other really regretted the decision to do so, even if the other is ruining them. "The pain of it all The rise and the fall I see it all in you Now every day I find myself saying I want to get lost in you Im nothing without you" "The pain of it all, the rise and the fall" shows that in the beginning, they were happy with their decision, but as time went by, they found that they needed the other, and the other enjoyed this. That's my interpretation, comment as you wish. |

Well, I reckon this is about a pair of criminals who are going to do one last crime (possibly a robbery or murder) "pull the top down, use your knees to drive i'll make it worth your while, just let me taste the sky you pressed your mouth on mine and fed me a star and you said, "we never can truly know who we are." know who we are" This could be them driving there, and by pulling the top down and using his knees to drive, it would allow one of them to use their hands to do something while they drive (maybe cover them). "You pressed your mouth on mine and fed me a star" This could be a kiss, where they giove each other one last taste, or, although unlikely, a drug. By saying that they "Never know who we are" could be that they are petty criminals, and if they go down they wouldn't never be remembered. "this night has only just begun if there's discretion that you've not abandoned, now's the time. we'll burn at best the morning sun go grab your bag, i'll bring the gun. the gun" Now they talk about how they are heading there, and that they should abandon any discretion to become as effective as possible. "Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun" is just a reference to the crime (The bag to hold cash, the gun to threaten or kill). "Burning at the morning sun" could mean that they'll be dead by the morning. "everything was burning bright. everyone was frightened. you said, "stay strong." everybody knowing that what we'd invited still remains when we're gone" This basically says to me that they've started a fire in a bank (because "everyone was frightened" - they could be hostages). "You said stay strong" could be the other person encouraging his/her love to not fret and worry because they are nearly finished. "everybody knowing that what we'd invited still remains when we're gone" could mean that this entire crime is to try and make them remembered in death. I overanalyize sometimes, but I love this song so much, the guitar is great and I reckon this has been the best AFI album so far. |
