Garden Statement

I saw HIPV for the second time the other night with Allister and Less Than Jake. It was an amazing show, and we got front row ahhhh. This song was so beautiful when they played it. Afterwards we saw Joe (their singer) outside and he walked us to our car! Great night

Anyways before they played this song, Joe said it was about where they where from, New Jersey.

these guys are gonna b huge eventually, they always put on amazing shows...."I lost all interest and i stopped wearing this plastic smile " totally relate, sick song

i hear the lyrics being something more like this:

The traffic's backed for miles on these quiet suburban roads while the rubbernecking strangers are dieing to see these victims wounds cause he’s all alone his notebooks and poems well there’s something grave where he wrote about this secret that became his lyrics of no intent to show

[chorus:] well we give we get but it's all for nothing its all for nothing we try we insist that i gave everything but its all for nothing

so the panic sets and cycles his mind for restless sleep and while the bloodsucking leeches contaminate every line they read just leave him alone in this dark room this white sheet, his tightly wrapped cocoon

cause its no secret I fucking need this Like I don’t need anyone

[chorous x2]

It's like I’m falling asleep with my eyes open shutting down and off the lights cause after all of this it’s all or nothing still I wouldn’t try to

I’ll fall asleep with my eyes open shutting down and off the lights cause after all of this it’s all or nothing still I wouldn’t try to fight

So let me drown so I can breathe again I’m through choking and suffocating on alter egos and alter motives just weigh you down and take control of the way you are and the things that you need the life you live and the dreams that you dream sudden blur all in slow motion they broke down and now your broken it’s sadder than the saddest movie I ever saw but without the beauty so I stopped watching I stopped caring I lost all interest and I stopped wearing these plastic smiles I’ve washed my hands clean forget that you forgot about me and I’m living like the big city feeling it’s better than suburban dreaming

im leaving all the friends that like to
talk shit on me Like I don't know who My real friends are anymore Don’t wanna know you anymore

and it’s sadder than the saddest movie I ever saw but without the beauty so I stopped watching I stopped caring spilling ink and spill your guts again

fall asleep with my eyes open shutting down and off the lights cause I feel all of this is all or nothing still I wouldn’t try to fight

someones jealous.

Its about dreams, aspirations, broken friendships and skepticism.

Brilliant.

I agree with m2cool2go on the correction of these lyrics. But besides the point, this is a great song! go hipv!!

i always thought it was:

it’s sadder than the saddest movie I ever saw but without the goonies.

I guess i was wrong.

Man i love this song.

this song dope...i love the part when it goes into that emo breakdown

its like im falling asleep with my eyess Opeennnnn...wooo

i love how it sounds like its fading out to end the song the the best lyrics come out at the end... Does anyone know exactly what the song means..or how they feel it means.. if u can add that in ure next comments that be great

Most of these lyrics are wrong. It should be "Living off the friends that hate me That talk shit on me" "Where he wrote all of his secrets That became his lyrics" "We give & we give But it's all for nothing" "The panic sets in cycles" "That weigh you down & take control of" "distort & blur all in slow motion" "They've broken down & now you're broken" "Spill the ink & spill your guts again"

It's a kind of random song. Like, not really one prevalent theme. But I'd say the car crash idea is overwhelming. The breakdown is my favorite part on the whole cd. It is absolutely amazing. Whenever my brother & I are driving in the car, we always roll down the windows, dispite the weather, hold our fists up & scream the "Spill the ink & spill your guts again!" It is such an awesome song. My favorite on the cd
