Let's Get Flat Lyrics
To say that everything I knew was just a lie
A love, a hope, a dream
Well what was it to you?
You can hold it in when you live
But it comes out when you die
The travesty of truth
The liberty of lies
I see three sides to a coin
As I flip it past my eye
Toss from hand to hand
You pick heads and I choose sides
And you scream 'Tails, fool! Tails!'
Well I've got a few that would pertain
It seems my love is much like a coin
It lives through many needless exchanges
Somehow it's shape I still sustain
Somehow this shape I still sustain
Let's get flat
To say that everything I knew was just a lie
A love, a hope, a dream
Well what was it to you?
You can hold it in when you live
But it comes out when you die
The travesty of truth
The liberty of lies
I see three sides to a coin
As I flip it past my eye
Toss from hand to hand
You pick heads and I choose sides
And you scream 'Tails, fool! Tails!'
Well I've got a few that would pertain
It seems my love is much like a coin
It lives through many needless exchanges
Somehow it's shape I still sustain
Somehow this shape I still sustain
Let's get flat
To say that everything I knew was just a lie
ahh...ahh...we both have alkaline trio-influenced screen names...excellent.
anyway. jcs is very underrated. this song is about love, i think, and giving up..."somehow this shape i still sustain" i've made it so far, then "let's get flat"...give up, lose the shape you've worked to maintain.
actually its defenitely about having sex, drinking, pretty much anything that can lay you out. I saw them live a month ago and they were really awesome.
