Controlling my feelings far too long
Controlling my feelings far too long
Controlling my feelings far too long
Controlling my feelings far too long
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And pushing us into self destruction
And pushing us into self destruction
They make me
Make me dream your dreams
They make me
Make me scream your screams
Trying to please you far too long
Trying to please you far too long
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
They make me
Make me dream your dreams
They make me
Make me scream your screams
Controlling my feelings far too long
Controlling my feelings far too long
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And pushing us into self destruction
And pushing us into self destruction
They make me
Make me dream your dreams
They make me
Make me scream your screams
Controlling my feelings far too long
Controlling my feelings far too long
Controlling my feelings far too long
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And pushing us into self destruction
And pushing us into self destruction
They make me
Make me dream your dreams
They make me
Make me scream your screams
Trying to please you far too long
Trying to please you far too long
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
They make me
Make me dream your dreams
They make me
Make me scream your screams
Controlling my feelings far too long
Controlling my feelings far too long
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And pushing us into self destruction
And pushing us into self destruction
They make me
Make me dream your dreams
They make me
Make me scream your screams

We all wear a social mask in order to fit in with others and sometimes it tends to get the better of us. Some of us constantly feel compelled to be a certain way in order to feel like we belong ("trying to please you for too long"). We repress our true feelings in order to fit in ("controlling my feelings for too long").
Also, Matt's trying to say that people like to take advantage of you if you're too submissive ("visions of greed you wallow/they make me dream your dreams/they make me scream your screams").
The world's a stage and very few of us are well-rehearsed for it. ;)
Then think again of those on the defined scale who you have forsaken; why some individuals for longer periods in their lives do not take part in charades at all - they are likely more than you imagine, because we do not earn the access to see them in that state as easily. Neither do you know their past. Chasing the astral, you will see many things others filter out.
We deserve more.
And good job to those who are actually intelligent enough to look closer than the surface.
Controlling my feelings far too long (publisher wants Matt to write THIS kind of lyrics and music)
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold (making him do things he doesnt want to)
And pushing us into self destruction (he collapses under the pressure)
They make me, make me dream your dreams (Tthe publisher's dreams)
They make me, make me scream your screams (the songs the publisher wants him to write)
)
Trying to please you far too long (trying to live up to the publisher expectation)
Visions of greed you wallow (publishers are greedy only want to gain on the music)
this is just how i think it is
i love this song. I think it's publicity, the people force him (matt) to be as they want him to be, but he can't cope with that, and just "collapses" after a while.
that's one agstridden song.
brilliant
"They make me, make me dream your dreams
They make me, make me scream your screams"
Almost Nightmarish visions of wots "pushing us into self destruction".
MUSE ROCK!
will suffice =]
