you said it shouldnt be taken too seriously
you said it was just your
personal ideas and opinions
you said it was only meant to relate
directly to your life
what about my life?
has the edge gone dull? (chorus 4x)
well maybe now that youve grown
dull and old
well pick up where you left off
to you it was just music
but to us it was so much more
when we put our heads together
well prove weve got the edge
that can never dull
true till death / has the edge gone dull?
you said it was just your
personal ideas and opinions
you said it was only meant to relate
directly to your life
what about my life?
has the edge gone dull? (chorus 4x)
well maybe now that youve grown
dull and old
well pick up where you left off
to you it was just music
but to us it was so much more
when we put our heads together
well prove weve got the edge
that can never dull
true till death / has the edge gone dull?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
quite odviously, the straightedge impact on the vocalists life, and how its not to be taken lightly.
The faces change but the message remains the same.
best straightedge song ever
chain of strength put out some definitely great music. nevertheless, they were about the most ridiculous band ever. "true till death"? you wish...! they were 100% fake edge. sad but true.
it's true this is probably their worst song BORING

I reckon the song is about Ian MacKaye.
"You said it shouldn't be taken too seriously" This is heaps similar to some of the stuff MacKaye has been quoted as saying about SxE, about how it was never meant to be a movement or anything and how it was just him singing about how he felt.
Ian Mackaye is no longer edge, he says that it was right for him as a youth but not as an adult. This explains the anger in the song.
Also at one of Chain's concerts the singer introduced this song by saying something like: "There have been a lot of people who are straight-edge, but then as they grow older it means less and less to them. This song is called "True Til Death" something they were not!"
This fits in with the MacKaye theory.
you're kinda holding a grudge against Ian MacKaye, right? Judging from your comments on this site ;)
Anyway, remember "true till death" was recorded in 1989. a time when ian mackaye still WAS very edge, or wasn't he? he was definitely still quite a youth back then...
and, whatever, sXe was NEVER meant to be anything but a matter of personal choice, anything but that is something I'd rather call fascist. btw, do you remember HEADFIRST and their anthem "self edge"?
"Remember, a few years back? When straight edge wasn't making so much noise. Well, times have changed for the worst. The edge has lost its personal choice. Pushing ideals, clinging to trends. Wake up and see that others have a right to do what they want."
what's more -
a) ian mackaye single-handedly invented the term "straight edge", so he can do with it whatever the fuck he wants, anyway ;)
b) Chain of Strength never were "true till death", they were "true till the end of the gig", at max! FAKE EDGE, from the beginning... so Curtis should have just kept his mouth shut
c) these lyrics are severely childish. or, could you say DULL?
i've heard that this song is actually about al from ssd or just ssd in general
