To A Friend

it seems like the song is about drug addiction. The verses are a first hand account of what someone may go through while fighting addiction, while the chorus seems like a close friend trying to stop his drug use. Dallas is playing the role of the supportive friend, and george is playing the role of the addict. Dallas is telling him that 'he shouldn't have to fight alone', and georges rebuttal is 'you shouldn't have to fight at all (i think by saying this he means, "why are you fighting to help me, i don't have a problem".' It seems like He is being told he needs help, but he's denying it.

i could be completely wrong, but this is the message i'm getting from the song.

A few corrections/I hear differently:

My pictures are fading fast

(You shouldn't have to fight at all) It's nobody's battle but your own

Whispers behind closed doors

There is Something Waiting For me In the Darkest Part of My imagination

This is all so There is more to come this is just a glimpse ____ in my head

All in all, good job. I can't get this song outta my head.

this is a song about struggle to overcome anxiety and that it is an unnecessary feeling to have. it is nobodies battle but your own. think about it it makes sense

i think its telling a friend to stop being so dramatic and realize you could end whatever struggle (maybe love maybe abuse family etc.) easy but you want to make it seem like you can handle it and get to say you suffered through it.

I'm thinking that its time to get out My patients are fading fast The mind bruises just a little bit easier In dark times and shadows cast

thats the friend. saying these things as complaints self explanatory.

What are you suffering for? Your pride or some kind of personal war? and will you throw it all away? For nothing more than a simple taste? I stay in time and watch you pass by Paranoia woven deep beneath my skin and i draw this line Breath slow You shouldn't have to fight alone (screaming as friend) You shouldn't have to fight at all (back to him) it's nobody's battle but your own

he's saying that it could end "what are you suffering for" is almost "are you stupid? end this already" "your pride or some kind of personal war" is "so you can tell peopl you're tough or so you can just tell yourself?" "and will you throw it away for nothing more than a simple taste" is like "you're gonna move on to another fucked up obsession thats gonna mess up your life cuz 'simple tastes' tear apart families and you moving on to something else can't save you" "i stay in time and watch you pass by" is "i'll stay here and be here for you even though i think you're ruining your life" "paranoia woven deep beneath my skin" "blah blah blah bullshit drama" from the friend "I'll draw this line and hope you'll take my side (breathe slow, breathe slow)" is kinda "i'll wait for you to realize you're killing yourself" and the friend says breathe slow as if he/she was saying "don't make assumptions or jump ahead of everything let me handle it now" "You shouldn't have to fight alone" "i really am here for you" "You shouldn't have to fight at all" friend says " you shouldnt be here for me i can do it myself" "it's nobody's battle but your own" he says "fine whatever its yours"

rest is self explanatory.

That song gave me shivers.

Absolute love. And it took me by surprise. Haha. Funny Story. Aaanyways. xD

Another song that makes Crisis' release date so, so far away. T_T

and again..im not too good at undersatnding the meaning in songs..anyone care to help?

I hear "You shouldn't have to fight alone It's nobody's battle but your own"

Which doesn't make any sense at all

I think that its time to get out My PATIENTS are fading fast BUT MY BUTTONS PUSH A little bit easyier

I'll stay in time and WATCH you pass by (your ... will only take beneath my skin)

BUT HE CALL ME LIKE A GUN ...FAST as we get cold

WHISPERS behind CLOSED DOORS I SPY from dark windows

It's nobody's BATTLE but your own

i im hoping i got a couple of those lyrics right just minor corrections, when this album comes out lots more ppl will hear it and they will complete these lyrics

For this part:

(your ... will only take beneath my skin)

I think I hear "Paranoia will be deep beneath my skin"

And also, I think it really is You shouldn't have to fight alone (you shouldn't have to fight at all)

And to back up my oppinion, think about it.

Paranoia will be deep beneath my skin. Breath slow....breathe slow...

He's freaking out and trying to calm himself, then tells himself

You shouldn't have to fight at all.
