Innocent Lyrics
Spends his time alone in the basement
With Lennon and Cobain A guitar and a stereo
but it all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
In a song that has no soul
I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped
We are all innocent
We are, we are...
We are all innocent
We are, we are...
Hates her music hates all of her clothes
Thinks of surgery and a new nose
Every calorie is a war
And that she�d never heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her some answers
And make her feel beautiful
I remember losing hope
I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped
We are all innocent
We are, we are...
We are all innocent
We are, we are...
You�ll have to let it go
No...
One day, you�ll stand up on your own
You�ll stand up on your own
Remember feeling low
Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped
We are all innocent
We are, we are...
We are all innocent
We are, we are...
We are all innocent (you�ll have to let it go)
We are, we are (you�ll have to let it go, no..)
We are, we are (you�ll stand up on your own)
We are, we are all innocent (you�ll stand up on your own..)
all i said was 'everyone in america will be listening to this,' without further comment on whether or not that is a good thing. the song was written to be catchy, and it is.
p.s. - i'd take a thousand screaming teenyboppers over the pretension and arrogance of one who thinks they're 'elite' for listening to 'underground' music. there is an extraordinary amount of good 'underground' music, but that doesn't mean that everything 'mainstream' is inherently bad, or that one is better than someone 'far too consumed with music they don't have to think about' just because they listen to 'non-mainstream' stuff.
Never the less, the "mainstream media" or whatever you would like to call it, are encouraging people to listen to music without thinking of their own, and that is a huge problem, cuz when people stop thinking for themselves, that's when the corporation can control us as if we were cows or pigs... My point is if music can enlighten people and make them think for themselves instead of being 100% commercial, that's a good thing.

Oh, and one more thing. I f*cking love this song.
I'm not gonna say I'm an Our Lady Peace fan because this is the only song of theirs that I know.
But, I gotta say, I fucking love it. It's so heartfelt and sincere and it's gotten me through a lot of tough shit. I'm 15 and teenage years suck. My usual song rotation is Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains, but whenever I'm down I definetaly throw this song in there.
This song speaks to me on a different level. It feels like the day I gave up god and religion.
"I remember feeling low I remember losing hope I remember all the feelings And the day they stopped"
The day I stopped believing in fairy tales and learned to think on my own. These kids in the song are holding on to a hope that doesn't lead them anywhere.
"One day You'll have to let it go One day You'll stand up on your own"
Break free of the chains of faith and stand on your own two legs. It's beautiful.
in 2 months, everyone in america will be listening to this.
i agree
shrug its all good. i think their new stuff is definatly less cryptic than the old stuff. but olp still rawks ^_^
there new stuff is more mainstream and there losing alot of their old fans...this is one of the only songs i enjoy off the new album...they lost all meaning to their lyrics and it doesnt mean as much to me as there older stuff meant
thank you daniela_m_a that's the point I was trying to make, kind of, but to me this is one of their songs that is least like their other albums.
well said rb , even if the band does start getting way more play and their songs do become a little more "mainstream" doesn't mean that the new listeners like the band any less than anyone else. olp plays music for everyone to enjoy regardless of what songs they like the best, so i don't think there is a need to doubt anyone here is a "true olp fan", although i do agree that this song is poor for our lady peace, call me callous, but i don't really like the song, there are alot just like it out there
