In Vain Lyrics
(It's cold outside)
Will go unbroken
(Close the door)
Thoughts
(Once complete)
Will fade away
(Never more)
The words to define
The feeling entwined
In every aching line
In vain?
I'm waiting
Here at the end
The urge to defend
The meaning in trend
Will never let me bend
In vain?
(It's cold outside)
Remain unspoken
(Close the door)
Hands
(Once complete)
Will soon decay
(Never more)
The words to define
The feeling entwined
In every aching line
In vain?
I'm waiting
Here at the end
The urge to defend
The meaning in trend
Will never let me bend
In vain?
Do I speak in vain?
Don't leave the light on
Slumber becomes you the same
The words to define
The feeling entwined
In every aching line
In vain?
I'm waiting
Here at the end
The urge to defend
The meaning in trend
Will never let me bend
In vain?
Do I speak in vain?

What, you mean no one likes this song enough to think of a meaning?!
I'm still spent on this song, but it's my favorite by Mad at Gravity. The guitars of the verses remind me of winter. Heh.
Someone help me, I'm kind of stuck.

Fear, pure in utter fear. He's afraid everything he is done in life will be for nothing. He's afraid that it's all meaningless and that no one will ever hear his words.
And he doesn't speak in vain because I hear him loud and clear!

...... Makes good sense... but for some reason, I kinda feel like there's something a bit more than that. Heh heh. But hey, maybe I'm wrong, 'cuz it kinda feels like you hit the bullseye.

to me, I can see this songwriter being frustrated and not being able to find the words to say anything. He's pouring his mind into this song! I love this song! No one in my town knows about Mad at Gravity, but they are my favorite band and they are SO AWESOME. He never speaks in vain because his words are too important to me...

i agree mad at gravity is excellent, this is my favorite song by them, this band rocks yeah i dont really have a good meaning for this one...

These guys are inspiring. To me this feels bitter and void, it seems he feels like he is falling apart, and feels regretful. Great band for sure!

It makes me think of winter too. =]

I absolutely love this song! Just heard it for the first time recently through Pandora. I agree with Jayemel on the meaning being about his fears which goes well with the title and flow of the song. I also love the cover of the album for this song - clever idea, i thought...
