| Strung Out – Dead Spaces Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think this is definitely the best song strung out has ever played: intense but simple, awesome harmonies, good melodic bass lines, lyrics are emotionally stimulating and angry but not overdone; beautiful bridge, sick solo and the way the chorus is all melodic and catchy and then is manipulated into the epic ending that it is; awesome. Anyhoo; This song sounds like someone who was in a bad relationship (As with many strung out songs) Someone who is a little older, or who has been through alot (These lines on my face give up the time, this blood writhing through veins is life like wine) Sounds like a couple that was together for a while, then split up (Drink to our last kiss, write a book about the mess) The chorus sounds like, after he has the house they lived in all those years, all to himself now, he's alone; and sounds like the relationship was a bit of a sham, or maybe one sided. (So now I sit alone in the dark, in the house we used to play the part) Everything in the house, being empty and quiet as it is now, seems to leave him with regrets of how everything went down. (Empty rooms and photographs shout back in silence) The "dead spaces" seem to be the recent vacancy in the house, as even if he wasn't happy before (or didn't realize how good he had it?) he misses the presence of someone being there. (Dead spaces echo and attack, for the love of what we used to both call home) After everything was done, he kept the house they lived in he kept the house, for the love of the house not for the love of her. Verse 2 seems straight forward, just more anger/bitterness about the situation. It seems like he was the victim in the abuse; (Wave a white flag=surrender and count me out) he clearly doesn't want to fight anymore. The end of the chorus seems odd; sounds like he never really knew what was wrong (Space between these lines that I could never quite reveal) The last line, sounds like he has nothing to live for, but suicide is just a little too far off for him (In the blink of an eye that's just too short to suffocate and kill) The bridge is pretty straight forward; seems like he's lost a will to do anything (It's been two weeks without a sign of anyone, I left the world behind cause I don't wanna believe in love/Too broken for a text, too toxic for a stand) The second half; not 100% sure how to interpret it, but it sounds kinda straight forward. The end chorus is more intense as if to amplify his anger and frustration. ('In silence' is the key phrase here) He's obviously tormented by the memories of everything that has happened, and seems to think everything was in vein (As the memories come rushing back...all for the love we left, in silence), just more anger/bitterness about the situation. |
