Your Way Lyrics

stand there with your ball and chain
bitch about what you've created
all caught up in the masquerade
you've already been paid and made it
so don't pretend to know what it's like
to feel the things that we must live through
you only see with your dying eyes
there's only one thing i will ask of you

can you take this life
can you make it right
do you have the words to say to make it
all go away
you act so wise
and so refined
u can keep your lies cos i'm
never gonna go your way

promises of a better life
but what's wrong with the one i'm leading
everyone has a different fight
a different wound that keeps them bleeding
so what's wrong with a little fun
everybody needs to find their something
is this how your gonna treat your son
fuck 'em up and give em nothing

[chorus]

everybody needs to find their own way through life
everybody needs to find their own way

it sounds like he could be talking to alot of people a therapist,parents,other singers anyone about how they are trying to lead him and others down the wrong path and everyone needs to find their own way through there problems

i think in this song they are talking about God.

I haven't heard the song but after reading the lyrics, i think both of you are right. i'm leaning more towards the God idea though. I am because it just sounds like something I would hear at my church. It's probably not even God, it could be a priest who is speaking for God but has no idea what he's talking about. Who knows. The lyrics are great.

"everyone has a different fight a different wound that keeps them bleeding "

I dunno why, but I love these lyrics so much.

I think it could also be about how you can't help somebody "see the light" (as in depression, religion, etc.), they have to find it themselves.

I love song i think its one of the best on their CD

Cover art for Your Way lyrics by Smile Empty Soul

I lean more toward the thought of this is how he is speaking to one of his parents (especially after he says the word 'son'). To me, it's about how kids know how hard things can be, they see it everyday and they're forced to deal with it. However, then they grow up, they lose touch with things and they forget what it's like to live as we do. They become hypocrites of the worst form. This is Sean fighting with them, attempting to get them to see what's really going on. In the chorus he says a grandiose 'fuck it' and gives up on them, deciding instead that he's living the best he can, and he'll continue to do so.

parents sending a child through phyciatric help. Offering pills and blind, prewritten bullshit about how you are, they ignore you and focus on what they've read, reading a script to you theyve created before they ever met you. and it doesnt actually work. But they've already been paid, they dont care, they're just making money. cocky phychiatrists and phychologists, with bullshit answers and no true solution. but it wont actually work. never gonna go thier way

I love these lines. It's so true. Parents have kids, and then just bitch and complain about them. Then try to run their lives until they completely piss the kid off.

I think the song's about parent's running a kid's life, telling them how and when to do everything, and I'm pretty sure it was inspired by Sean's mom and stepdad
