Hopeless

Oh no, not this time too I'm the only one you got to use And if I tell you all this could be Nothing more than a way to leave you Would you want me?

And now you're sorry For the things you did to me I want you to know I feel I was the one who Got used and used to Just about anything you would tell me But those days are more than over now

Don't you say you want me stay, now You've got to get away, you've got to get away Go find someone who wants you Someone to pray to Get on your knees to Lay down and please you, too It just won't be me ever again.

Hopeless That this will turn out better This isn't what I've wanted I should've listened to them Go thank yourself for nothing It's really all you're good for And every year you've wasted And every half-assed offer

One of my favorite songs off 'the Meadowlands.' Along with the other twelve.

when the chorus comes in, the hopeless part, my heart shudders. its amazing.

the song is about a guy who went into a relationship with a girl who treated him like shit, and he got fed up, but now the girl wants him back and he wont take it cuz hes got more pride than that; hes "hopeless that thisll turn out better." its about a guys pride.

for me, its about a guy whos questioning this girl, this girl who comes back into his life. and things once again become complicated and now he realizes that she just used him again yet he finds himself again feeling bad about her and what she did to him. i can relate to this song. its great.

^^^This guy up here is an idiot.

I guess at face value this looks like a song about a relationship, but I really don't feel like that's it at all... it's almost certainly about their departure from their "big record deal" following the shit their former label (Wind Up Records) put them through. Wind Up (formerly known as Grass) was bought out by a guy named Alan Melzter, who took the label in a very "radio rock" direction, and horribly mistreated bands who wouldn't get on board. According to band mythos, The Wrens were on tour and Europe, and Melzter faxed them a new (and glaringly unfair) contract in the dead of night. When they refused to sign it, they were immediately fired and left stranded in Europe.

Another famous legend has it that Alan Melzter was livid when The Wrens refused to sign, and swore he would make the next band through his door superstars "at any cost". Creed was the next band through his doors, and they became famous at any cost.

This song has the GREATEST build up. Like, the chorus should be written in bright red, all caps and underlined. HOPELESS!!! That's right. Find someone else to service you-- I'm done. So freakin' intense.

this song is so great... maybe cuz i love indie, maybe cuz its emo, or maybe because i'm hearing it at the right time. i guess my personal interp. would mirror what everyone else gets out of it...

getting your heart ripped out, feeling the pain, and letting it all out in a retort of anger.

the guy above is scycis on aim. if he doesn't block 'the inferior masses' from IMing him, give him a holler. he is quite elitest in the fact that he feels he owns music that is free to the world to enjoy; songs like the ones above about heartbreak, as if he may be the only one to ever have a song trigger and pinpoint the exact pain he is feeling. f* that. you keep feeling superior and i'll keep enjoying my music.
