Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one-track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to jump for joy

They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale

This song reminds me of my brother who is in prison. Not the chorus parts. -'In violent times' stanza makes me think of how some people may sell their own life for fame and fortune. And how the law is black and white. And is not meant for any interpretations. How sometimes, no matter how many 'one track minds' (honest workers) you meet, a lot of convicts kiss them goodbye because they are stuck in their old ways. --Next non chorus stanza makes me think of an inmate's parents when they are incarcerated. Sometimes, inmates begin to antagonize their parents. Cold as ice. --- Next non chorus stanza makes me think that an inmates parents believe them when they come out and say they've changed but that ends up not being true. This is obviously my lone personal stance on the song's lyrics. Not THE interpretation. I like to think of the lyrics this way simply because it reminds me of my idiot brother.
@joel693253 This is beyond what I could have conjured myself. But I absolutely love how this song speaks a story for you that is so personal. Thank you for taking the time to tap it out here. I think TFF is really good at acknowledging the suffering humans endure. I don’t understand how some ppl here have dismissed their lyrics as annoying, or anything trivial. I think their lyrics are artful in that they give a clue to the true meaning, but leave room for interpretation. One of the rare qualities of TFF, that a lot of ppl don’t recognize is the authenticity of this music. I feel their personal essence is in everything they write, which is easily over shadowed by their charting songs. What I mean is, there is a rare authenticity in the writing. The Hurting is a masterpiece, and I’m happy to have experienced it in real time, before they blew up. I’ve been revisiting these albums, and for me they really stand up without being ‘annoying’ in any way, (despite having a serious 80’s sound). For a moment, having TheHurting album was a secret handshake.. and maybe still is to some degree. I hope your brother is thriving and finding his place in the world.
