Dashboard Confessional – Bend And Not Break Lyrics 3 years ago
i feel like this a father's song to their child.

"for your I rise, for your I fall" is the my favorite lyric. a lot of people don't notice it.

The Expendables – Sacrifice Lyrics 12 years ago
i believe the first line "where would have i been with a different plan", he's not talking about the choices he has made in his life, but the plan that we all have to follow (go to school, get a job), to conform to the way things are. this is what i believe this whole song is about. and the song is asking why does it have to be this way? "sometimes i feel so empty handed/we're not the only ones" (who feel this way). "got to work...got to make that money, i hope it's something...." I hope all this work leads to something, which we all know it doesn't. We work for most our entire lives: it's not living. "The current is so strong. And I can’t fight no more. And how I long to be on that stable shore." he doesn't want to follow this plan that was drawn out for him, a plan he HAS to follow but does not want to; he can see no other answer other than lose every thing he has already worked for.
the song, to me, is about how we have to Sacrifice our own lives to build a "life", a life that others say is the right way.
