| Cartel – Wasted Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think that the song is all about the baby in the beginning. it didnt really die, because "the mother never knew he only had a few left" well, if he died right then, she would think back and say hmm, he only had a few left but then hes 16, and driving too fast, (not uncommon) and "takes a turn to the left, it WOULD be his last." meaning one wrong turn could completely eff your life. So if he turns to the right, nobody in the car would have died that night- the choice actually made. but now he's 32, and invincible, he thinks he has a whole life ahead of him with the mindset that "ohh that'll never happen to me" Even though he could have died in the previous stanzas. We all could die at any moment. I believe that's what the first verse is trying to get across, and notice that throughout the rest of the song, "he" doesnt get passsed 32, because he got "sick in the morning and he died in the night" at that age. then the second verse just goes on to tell how Wasted his life was. and the consistant mention of the father adds to me thinking its the same person. Also, if the song writer wanted it to be 3 different people in the beginning, they most likely would have alternated genders, but it's always "he." |

| We Came As Romans – We Are The Reasons Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
To me, the "venom in my veins" is our own blood. what makes us human, and all of our humanly problems, are created by us, and then cured by us. (Created and cured by the same) Like, say.. I guess I'll refer to "I am Legend." where they thought they had the cure for cancer, and then that cure created a bigger problem, to which Will Smith's blood was immuned to so he was able to find the cure to this new infection, that was created by our own medications. (We are the reasons for health and light, for illness, and weakness) So that is what they are saying about humanity, that we are the destruction as well as the construction of ourselves. Yet it's trying to tell us, inspire us, that we CAN change, we have that power. But habits or addiction, greed, lust, and so many things get in the way; maniplate us. and just the way of humanity, Is An Epidemic. |
