First and Ellen Lyrics
Just think about looking at your own burning house. That would leave you with that empty frame and thats how he fells it seems like. This song along with all their songs are off the charts.
MY LOVE! MY WAY!
This is great song, the lyrics, like many of MLIW's lyrics are a bit "oh woe is me", but at the end of the song, it seems like he has overcome the adversity, as he finds a way to "overcome" and "push ahead". fucking great track.
I've seen these guys live twice, and I saw a huge scar on the arm of Jeffrey (vocalist). Possible that he tried to commit suicide? This sounds like it could be about that: how he feels bad over everything he cannot be, then there 'slashed-up wrists' bit, then eventually overcoming this all and overwinning the urges to commit suicide? Wild guess...let me know
I saw this one live in sweden..the best frikking show in my whole life..i've never been so sweety, and my throth has never felt so dry..and i'venever felt such and adranaline-rush as when they played "By The Sea" and "DEADRAMONES"
I think this is a reflection. I think one of his big "motos" is for self truth and this is what this song is about. Its about a guy who looks back on his life, and sees that hes lived a life that was hollow, and just wasnt worth living really (rotting lifeless gray). This is just about him seeing that he wasnt living a good life, now is gonna change and be something good.
isnt it just 'bottom of the barrel' not 'bottom of the bottom of the barrel'?
awesome song tho
I agree with a lot of what others have said. To me, Jeff is really tired of seeing everyone turning their thoughts to death, and seeing everyone feel so empty, including himself, so this is his rally cry to pick up your hearts and just make it through. WE OVERCOME. WE PUSH AHEAD.
