Permanent Lyrics

Some time ago
I keep losing track over again
All these promises won't turn golden
Until you touch them

It's permanent
Nothing is permanent
It's permanent
We'll be watching your back, following
Indecision has lasted for years

Some time ago
Memories in my head
They're starting again
Speaking fast, still moving slow
Running through the country
Maybe they will find me

It's permanent
Nothing is permanent
It's permanent
We'll be watching your back (We'll be watching)
Be watching your back, following
Indecision has lasted for years

Like a river in Arizona
Dried up before you were born

It's starting up again
(We'll be watching your back)

It's permanent
Nothing is permanent
It's permanent
We'll be watching your back
It's permanent
Nothing is permanent
It's permanent
Time is pushing us back
Permanent

This is my favorite Acceptance song--cant wait to see these guys in two days

Does anybody else get the feeling that this song is about losing friends? Kind of like the friends promised they would watch the singers back, but "nothing is permanent" so that never happened.

I think this song is about not letting your life be permanent, i think its a contradiction of what he's saying. I guess its his tone of voice that kind of says "dont let your life be something you dont want" because he says nothing is permanent hes saying your life doesnt have to end the way everyone else would want it to. He's saying that you have to take action and make your life what YOU WANT.

dam it i think you're right dood. i've had this song for like FOREVER and i FINALLY found out the right meaning. he's being sarcastic. permanent. NOTHINGS permanent. all the time ppl make excuses "ahh..i'm not even gonna try... i'm scrwd for life anyways" and he's saying thats its B S .he says break loose from your insecurities (from the indeicisions lasting for years)

This is song is most likely about the comments I made about the Acceptance song "Compromise", which was on their first album. I think this song is Jason's reoccurring feelings in regards to the topic of "Compromise": "I think this song is about Jason's (the lead singer) drummer from his first group "Day Zero". I'm not sure about the actual tension, but it's my understanding there was some real drama between the Drummer and Jason. Regardless, when Acceptance was formed, I think the drummer (who I'll leave nameless) decided to choose a new life path. The 'He' that is spoken about in this song is god, because Day Zero was a christian band, and as is evident, there are some christian undertones in Acceptance's music. Jason wants god to show the drummer the way, not leave the band and also not compromise with his other 'commitments'. But that's just my guess... "
