Trance

Not too sure about the chorus and that one other part in the second verse section...let me know what you guys think it is...

"you suck the life out of the new, with all that you do" i think thats the lyric. i'm not too sure about the chorus though.

yeah, sounds good to me...thx

i get the vibe that the song is about a person who is a follower. kinda like all the avril wannabes. this kinda gives it away. "you are the fashion of now and the sickening flavor of cool " you dress the way you do to be cool, and the line "your in a trance" is trying to say that she wont admit that shes a follower or whatever.

This so is awesome. :D Finally this site is back up too! :D meep! I think this song is talking about followers of what is "hip" or "cool".

"You are the fashion of now and the sickening flavor of cool."

Great song :)

this song just has a great flow and vibe. a lot of angst and emotion in this one too.

betrayal. plain and simple.

These lyrics are incorrect.

you suck the life out of the crowd, without a sound I see your kind all around and of course your all one in the same

you suck the life out of a room with nearly a glance you are the slave of a clone of a petrified fool on a throne

chorus: So, shame on you you're in a trance, you're in a trance (you betray me) your in a trance, your in a trance (you're not the same)) your in a trance, your in a trance (you still need me) your in a trance, your in a trance be careful, we're watching and you can feel us stalking we're patience and thorough you'll never see us let go

you suck the life out of the new, with all that you do they are naive and are driven to find there own identity

you strip the joy out of their souls, with all of your rules you are the fashion of now and the sickening flavor of cool

(Repeat Chorus)

we'll tear your heart right out of your chest your allready dead and you can surrender or savor the scent of your old victories

we'll steal the fire out of your eyes and turn it on you we are the thorn in your side and the bullet to blow you apart Blow you apart!!!

^ that's corrected this is my favorite TJT song. of all it's just so powerful. idk i love it. its like in school sometimes the 'coolest people' are the worst people of all and everyone is deceived thinking the way to be is evil and cold...when in reality if everyone 'loved' eachother (theme of the whole album) maybe society wouldn't be the same.

'you suck the life out of a room with MERELY a glance' other than that its good

Great song, shame there aren't so many comments.

To me, it seems that the lyrics are about art, and how it's exploited for public image. If you listen to the way the lines in brackets are sung during the song, they seem distant, as if they can't penetrate the mind of the listener quite so easily as the blunt, prominent lines can. It's almost as if undertones in music are bypassed as 'too hard to think about' So in that respect, I agree with you all, it is about followers.

However, I get the feeling that there's something more. It seems as though it might also be aimed brutally at the bands out there that, debatably, compromise the meaning and depth of a song for a catchier, more 'scene' one that appeals to the 'fashionable'. For example, the way the lyrics are formed - 'So shame on you' It hints at superiority, as if judging one band above another. Another example is

'you strip the joy out of their souls, with all of your rules you are the fashion of now and the sickening flavor of cool'

Stripping the joy out of their souls, is quite blatantly referring to the more 'emo' bands that focus on depression, and change the way that those that follow it dress, act and behave. Also 'their' is a very impersonal pronoun, and hints that the bands in question don't actually care all that much about their fans. Further more, the lyric 'on a throne' shows the superiority, and how the fans worship them, a contrast to the apparent disdain the hypothetical band shows.

Just a few thoughts, keen to hear your opinions.
