So, tell me is it right?
To feel like we're only getting smaller
And it's so hard to fight the feeling
But I'm only treading water
We've made a few mistakes, it's not worth it to say
(we all fall for the sound)

'Cause we are the only ones, we will get up
And we are aware, 'cause we've been through it
'Cause we are the only ones, we will carry each other on our own

Believe the sound, When the truth will send you falling
You see the lights? But your mind isn't open
Now I hear you calling
We've made a few mistakes, it's not worth it to say
(we all fall for the sound)

'Cause we are the only ones, we will get up
And we are aware, 'cause we've been through it
'Cause we are the only ones, we will carry each other on our own

Open your eyes and let all the light in
Open your eyes up little more, I'm sure it will soon come out

'Cause we are the only ones, we will get up
And we are aware, 'cause we've been through it
'Cause we are the only ones, we will carry each other on our own

Open your eyes and let all the light in
Open your eyes up little more, I'm sure it will soon come out

    This song sounds like what you would have if Funeral for a Friend and Story of the year got into a bus crash with each other..the power riffs remind me of funeral so much..then when they shout and sing in harmony it reminds me of soty...Either way these three bands are the best there is

    Perhaps this song is about cove haters "you see the lies but your mind isn't open"....The band is doing its best and even better than ever without out anthony greens ass and people keep bashing saosin because they have a new heroin free lead singer...its their message saying to open your eyes nd minds nd get over it saosin is what they are now.....or i could be wrong?

    For all the Cove-haters out there..... I bring you this song! You've been criticizing Cove since then because you are only led by your emotions and not by reasons! Cove is not like Ant, but his voice is incomparable with him. Ant's voice as you've told is intense... But cove's voice is tremendous! Annoying?look, is he not better than Ant?! Anthony left the band coz he believes he's not compatible with the band... (and now he has a worse band!) now cove, which is "the one" - tries to fill in, whatever Ant has left empty... He completed an album for the band just for a few months, compared to Ant who had been struggling for so many years, was not successful .! The rest of the members like cove rather than ant.. So you should all be 'coz they will be your "number one enemy" if you mest up with cove!

    And by the way... for all the cove-haters out there......... just shut your mouth open! confuse??! Me either! By the fact that the fuition of cove's work is there which is sweet and irresistable, you have denied it because of your pride!!!! I tell you, Cove has been doing his best, and the best is "still" yet to come... you should think twice now or else we will subdue you..! Cove-fans, we rule!

    Well aren't you a little closed minded fuck.

    It's music, nimrod. I think Circa is one of the greatest bands alive. That's my opinion. I respect you for your opinion, but you don't have to around being such a dick about it.

    Live & Learn please. The world will be better.

    Good song btw.

    OK ok...Cove is a good singer...and Anthony left the band because he did not have the creativity that he wanted to have with the band...he wanted more freedom with his writing...thats why he left....the Circa Survive story his a very interesting story of how Anthony left Saosin to form Circa Survive...In my opinion...Circa Survive is a lot better than Saosin, and I still love Saosin, have the new album, listen to them often...but Circa Survive to me is better....even better than saosin when Anthony was in the band...Guys cove is a good singer, but he's not as great as you say...technology is awesome....listen to him live and he's not nearly as good...listen to Anthony live and its absolutely amazing....I'm not a cove hater, I'm glad that he "completed" saosin....but i still dont believe he's better than Anthony...especially since he can't sing anthony's songs....listen to them live...he can't even compare to how anthony sang saosins songs.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
