Are You Listening? Lyrics

You said you'd make a change
Instead you let the days
Just pass you by
All this time, wasted time
Why did you even try

And if it falls apart
At least I took a chance
Are you listening
I'm sorry
You're not the one
But I'm still here
I'm sorry
Your day has come

You think of no one else
Your talk is cheap
You've got nothing good to say
All your words, empty words
I hear them everyday

And if it falls apart
At least I took a chance
Are you listening
I'm sorry
You're not the one
But I'm still here
I'm sorry
Your day has come

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

yeah, its a fucking kickass song, but it certaintly isn't about a romantic relationship. its about someone who said they would stand up and fight for change but then they wasted time and broke their word. he's saying he's finished with dealing with them. he's seen through their falsehood. and that groupshout in the chorus is so tight. i was screaming it back at the stereo!!!

In my opinion its about someone, who not even try to change somethink. He only moans about his life and try to change the other people. He never assumes the responsibility for himself or anythink or anyone else. He doesnt keep his word. But he never considers, that anythink could be his own fould, not even a little bit. The title of the song "Are you listening" wants the person to realize this. He has to change his attitude.

I saw Ignite playing this song live last summer. Zoli dedicated this song to Obama if I remember it correctly. Anyway, awesome song.
