A train wreck in slow motion. Thats what this makes me think of. Those times when you didnt do what you probably should have done. And you didnt see it coming until it was too late. So now you can feel everything crashing down around you. But for now, nothings wrong. not yet. It is now inevitable but hasnt happened yet. You can still pretend everything is going to be perfectly fine. Pretend you still havent seen it coming. Pretend its not going to rain down around you. Yet you know its coming, So it isnt a shock when it happens. And everything is a mess. You know you are going to have to pull yourself up and though this but even before the dust clears, that seems impossible. As the dust settles you are left standing there at the epicenter of the disaster. It still hasnt really sunk in, what's happened. Because even though it was like it was in slow motion. It wasnt. Everything happened so fast. Everything was fine until it wasnt. You know you have to fix this. But where to start? Do you start by cleaning up the mess or by trying to fix the problems that made everything crumble in the first place. Everything is different now, but when you close your eyes, it doesnt feel like it. It still hasnt set in how badly youve messed up. It doenst feel real yet. It still feels like a bad dream, like at any minute you might wake up. But there as slight differences, with your eyes closed, that tell you its not the same. Almost, you mightve been able to trick yourself, but you know its not the same. And you want to keep your eyes closed and pretend but now you can only focus on the differences. And you know it will never be like before. |

I think this song is about life in general. Or, more specifically, life after something bad has happened. Im not really sure which Some people watch; some people pray, But even lights can fade away. Some people hope; some people pay, But why'd we have to stay? First they talk about ways people go through life. Some people go through life with out really living- watching. Some hope and pray but their faith can waiver. Others try to buy their way through life. Any way you go though it you are still left with the question "Why are we here?/Why do we have to keep leaving?" OR These are the ways people deal with tough stuff (the faded light) and "Why do we have to go though this?" 'Cause even here; we're scared to bruise, Or any misery you choose. If there is an afterlife, why be afraid of anythings as temporary as pain or poverty or whatever you think is "misery". You like to watch; we like to use, And we were born to lose. Again some "watch" life go by but some participate. whatever you do, nobody "wins" at life. Bad stuff happens. No matter how much good or bad you have, We all lose in the end. I choose defeat. I walk away, And leave this place THE SAME TODAY Here they are saying they are accepting their defeat, knowing that they cant always win, before they make the world (or situation) worse. Some like to sleep; we like to play. Just look at all that pain. Some people (the watchers) pretend nothings wrong with the world or they just try to wait till the pain goes away. They have accepted the pain in life and found a way to still have fun despite it. You want the heart and to be saved, Watchers want to know everything going to be okay again But even good guys still get paid. If good guys are being paid, either bad guys are still being bad or the good guys are just going to stick around to make sure the bad guys dont do anything So watch my back and keep the blade; I think it got you laid. Watch out for each other and dont let down your defence Even if things seem good. It might pay off? So fake your death or eat your blame, Either give up and start a new life (?) or accept what youve done And leave the lights on when you stay. Take off your clothes and dream AND THINK Make your self comfortable (in your life), feel free to dream about tomorrow but dont forget to think (about what youve done, what youre going to do) Come on and feel that shame. Dont be afraid to feel, no matter what feelings youre having. I choose defeat. I walk away, And leave this place THE SAME TODAY Some like to sleep; we like to play. Just look at all that pain. Just look at all that pain. Just look at all that pain. Just look at all that pain. Just gimme all that pain. Just gimme all that pain. Just gimme all that pain. Now they are not only acknowledging the pain but offering (demanding) to take some of it. I choose defeat. I walk away, And leave this place THE SAME TODAY Some like to sleep; we like to play. Just look at all that pain. |
