Career Day Lyrics
Today's been a career day
Futures made and fortunes lost
As I'm standing in the lobby
Waiting for the elevator to take me away
Up to 9 or 10 or maybe 11
The sound of sirens fading as she whispers in my ear
She's saying
"It's too late to wish success,
So get undressed and please just come to bed.
'Cause I'm the last real thing you've got.
You're cursed by all ambitious thoughts.
Is that all you've got?"
As for you, you spin a story like a
Spider spins a web.
See that's a metaphor,
No wait, a simile.
I'm still learning but I think I'm getting better.
Oh, if I'm not tortured how are you ever going to relate.
I've been condemned by those I love
Wishing me the worst as I try my best.
But she's the last real thing I've got.
I'm cursed by all abitious thoughts.
Is that all you've got?
Love, close your eyes.
And cover your ears.
For the end is near,
But the beginning is here.
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
I'm gonna tie all the loose ends I once pulled
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
Preparing for faliure from what we've been told
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
With nothing to offer so nothings been sold
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
Forgive me and give me one more chance to fold
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
There's nothing to lose when there's nothing to hold
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
...We'll be together in the morning
Futures made and fortunes lost
As I'm standing in the lobby
Waiting for the elevator to take me away
Up to 9 or 10 or maybe 11
The sound of sirens fading as she whispers in my ear
She's saying
"It's too late to wish success,
So get undressed and please just come to bed.
'Cause I'm the last real thing you've got.
You're cursed by all ambitious thoughts.
Is that all you've got?"
Spider spins a web.
See that's a metaphor,
No wait, a simile.
I'm still learning but I think I'm getting better.
Oh, if I'm not tortured how are you ever going to relate.
I've been condemned by those I love
Wishing me the worst as I try my best.
But she's the last real thing I've got.
I'm cursed by all abitious thoughts.
And cover your ears.
For the end is near,
But the beginning is here.
And out with the old.
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
And out with the old.
And out with the old.
And out with the old.
And out with the old.
And out with the old.

I think this one's about success & the future partly.... Preparing for faliure from what we've been told..etc.
and then about letting go & just letting things be.
no matter what he does, how ever many times he fails, this girl will always be there, she doesn't care if he has a job, in fact, she might not want him to have one, she just wants to love him
my favorite line would have to be "I'm cursed by all abitious thoughts"
dunno why, but it just seems to get the whole meaning of the song into one line
this is such a great song.
it's the future. what it holds and what you'll make of it, whether it will be a success or a failure, who may or may not be there with you, and making amends with the past.
this. song. is. amazing.

i love this song it seems like hes given up hope bc of all the pessimism around him
no look if you listen to all of the format songs from the 2 albums this song is about how they finally got together and he thinks that finally things might have worked out and he thinks that they still might be together at the release of the new cd (which they werent) and he realizes this but he still holds on to that hope b/c he is a hopeless romantic and this relationship is the inspiration for his songs, the format is not in it for the money but for the music so all of their songs are personal and have a specific meaning if given context

I think it might be about the music industry, and how Nate feels about his music and how the public will react to it. "I'm cursed be all ambitious thoughts," is of course Nate and all his musical ideas. All the last lines, "Preparing for failure for what we've been told" and "With nothing to offer so nothings been told" are the thoughts of the young band.
