| Cold War Kids – We Used to Vacation Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| i disagree with comments saying that the child wouldn't have written so compassionately from their parent's perspective. personally i find it too easy to be symapthetic to my dads alcoholism, as a child you're one of the few people that doesn't see them as a monster and makes excuses for them, in my experience anyway. and besides, whether the singer is the alcoholic themself, or their father was, or indeed its entirely fictional, the underlying tone is quite hard and factual, not wallowing in pity. at the end of the day, the worst stuff in the world might be going on around you but when you live day in day out with an alcoholic thats all you can care about. this song makes me cry. | |

Their words are coming out* i can feel it here deep in your mouth truth will reveal itself* no need to travel for a million miles the years can't stay the same i kept it easy so i couldn't complain* let them make up your mind its a feeling you can never describe ooh but even after all the things i said you could be honest and be true and never realize what i wont do said to call it out, afraid to say i don't recognize whats left of us i can’t think of anything it was* and it was over before all the things that i know that i could i would never leave you though i would and i would say it's all because you ask me why, i cannot lie and if you shout and i want out you ask me why oh just because (3x) climate change is really nothing new* im still lost 'cause i got something to do i can figure out on my own time you were always late so you're never around i know no one knows so you can be yourself* i keep you close and never let anyone out and i stopped caring so push them aside fuck the things you want for the things you like i get with the money and the swank apartment i built a tower up into the sun let them follow every fallen empire* on the war they waged but never won* i figured out your world, from that today[?] i swear to god i knew i would but if give me reason to be good* i always force it out the words to say* that i'll be honest and be good, you wouldn't leave me if i would 'cause it was covered all in disguise amazing anger like i lost my mind* oh i can go, but i will stay and i'll do it again you could put it away oh you can find a peace of mind you ask me oh i can't lie i figured out whats in a lie[?] i sail away then i can go* i make it out through all the years you ask me why oh just because (3x) Just a few changes :) |

| i think you're reading into it too much, i mean yeah christian music is big but in comparison to other genres maybe he feels not so much? anyway, im an atheist and a lot of the time religion can frustrate me, but then i hear a really powerful song like this and it reminds me that it doesnt matter what other people believe or who's 'right' but that its so important to some people and its just what they do in the name of that belief that matters, like make beautiful music :) | |
