And If I could teach the world to be..
I’d teach them all to be something just like me.
Frustrated, bitter, depressing.
Perfect – As if my wings were like yours
But I’m falling down.
And if you could hold your tongue long enough..
You’d see that all I am is love, but I don’t like me.
I despise me.
Perfect – As if my wings were like yours
But I’m falling down.
Perfect – As if my wings were like yours
But I’m falling down.
It’s a disease they’ll never have a cure for.
You’re the only way to dry my eyes.
It’s a disease, they’ll never have a cure.
But I’m the on whose wrong. I’m the one who cries.
It’s a disease, they’ll never have a cure for.
It’s a disease, they’ll never have a cure.
But I’m the on whose wrong. I’m the one who cries.
I cry – I despise me.
I’d teach them all to be something just like me.
Frustrated, bitter, depressing.
Perfect – As if my wings were like yours
But I’m falling down.
And if you could hold your tongue long enough..
You’d see that all I am is love, but I don’t like me.
I despise me.
Perfect – As if my wings were like yours
But I’m falling down.
Perfect – As if my wings were like yours
But I’m falling down.
It’s a disease they’ll never have a cure for.
You’re the only way to dry my eyes.
It’s a disease, they’ll never have a cure.
But I’m the on whose wrong. I’m the one who cries.
It’s a disease, they’ll never have a cure for.
It’s a disease, they’ll never have a cure.
But I’m the on whose wrong. I’m the one who cries.
I cry – I despise me.

"August Winterman is about my biggest fight - which is with myself. See - I am a perfectionist - which means if everything isnt exactly the way I want it to be or how I think it should be, then I get frustrated - to the point that it's just not healthy. Perfectionism reaches a point where it is very harmful to your mental health - with me, sometimes it reaches that point. The beginning of the song states "and if i could teach the world to be, I'd teach them all to be something just like me.." this is me wanting everyone to do things like I would do them. But the way I do things only makes me "frustrated, bitter and depressed." The Chorus is "perfect -as if my wings were like yours" is like i begin to think that i am godly - as if my wings were like Gods.. but theyre not, and I'm falling down (because I have no wings)
the second verse is about when my loved ones get frustrated with me - because i'm this way. but really all i want to do is love people, but my flesh and my selfishness gets in the way of that. I only want to love people - but sometimes thats hard.
the end is about how god is the only one who can cure this disease. and how sometimes I hate who I am when I'm at my worst... "-Brandon (the lead singer of DP)
dead poetic rulez
Here I am thinking they got fucked over by chicks over their past years, you know? But they are talking about God. Now...I don't know..I am an atheist, though I can see where they are coming from...but God has just not done shit for me. (in my opinion,obviously)...but this, just as their entire album is gr888!!
