Seconds Away Lyrics
Lead in your chest, halo in water
Watch me drill holes in my head
Misunderstood? Meet me at midnight
With your lovers heart in a box
We'll watch how the world pushes forward
Running like insects from God
You only want to be near him
So you join in his crimson jihad
'cause they cast out the dark
With 2 stones and a spark
And your seconds away from redemption
And you're one with the dead
and your breakfast in bed
'til your seconds away from redemption
Ohh-oh, seconds away
April came on, the pain was like knives
Digging right into my feet
The echoes of agony breaking my body
'til most of it's merely a lie
We'll watch how the world pushes forward
Running like insects from God
You only want to be near him
So you join in his crimson jihad
'cause they cast out the dark
With 2 stones and a spark
And your seconds away from redemption
And you're one with the dead
and your breakfast in bed
'til your seconds away from redemption
Stand alone where you are
Stand alone where you are
Stand alone where you are
Hey-yeah
Ho-ohh
'cause they cast out the dark
With 2 stones and a spark
And your seconds away from redemption
And you're one with the dead
and your breakfast in bed
'til your seconds away from redemption
Ohh-oh, seconds away
You're seconds away
You're seconds away
You're seconds away
Watch me drill holes in my head
Misunderstood? Meet me at midnight
With your lovers heart in a box
Running like insects from God
You only want to be near him
So you join in his crimson jihad
With 2 stones and a spark
And your seconds away from redemption
and your breakfast in bed
'til your seconds away from redemption
Digging right into my feet
The echoes of agony breaking my body
'til most of it's merely a lie
Running like insects from God
You only want to be near him
So you join in his crimson jihad
With 2 stones and a spark
And your seconds away from redemption
and your breakfast in bed
'til your seconds away from redemption
Stand alone where you are
Stand alone where you are
Hey-yeah
With 2 stones and a spark
And your seconds away from redemption
and your breakfast in bed
'til your seconds away from redemption
You're seconds away
You're seconds away
You're seconds away

"Running like insects from god You only want to be near him So you join in his crimson jihad"
this says what i would say to everybody in the world :X i love the sound of the chorus ... wohooo im the first one to put stuff on here .. i own :> haha
It's about a cult. A religious cult.
"You only want to be near him, so you join his crimson jihad" is about the cult leader, and the blind devotion the members have.
"most of this is merely a lie" is about the cult leaders views and junk.
"Meet me at midnight with your lovers heart in a box" - again with the devotion. And a direct refferance of how cult's steal you away from your loved ones.
I could be wrong... but hey. You know. ;)
I think its part of the artist's long battle with the belief of god, about how people want to be near god so they believe in him, but most of it is a lie.
This was amazing. Zach came back out with his acoustic, and sang this with out a mic. Glorious.
