A Shot in the Dark Lyrics
Let's take them back to the days when we were family
My breath was your breath
at least when we were young
I think it's funny how the times have changed
Throw being jealous in the mix and now all I know of you is a name
This couldn't have came at a better time
This ends right now
We gave all of ourselves to entertain you
You're only hurting us
We gave all of ourselves to entertain you
We're only hurting ourselves
I'm a god amongst the ants and your girlfriends and you act like you don't even know
it's cause you haven't been here for too long
I called this right from the start
I turn my back for one second now all I hear is a shot in the dark
Use my name like you know me
You're all the same
Keep running your mouth
We gave all of ourselves to entertain you
You're only hurting us
We gave all of ourselves to entertain you
We're only hurting ourselves
Mark my words, we're taking over the world!
Mark my words, we're taking over the world!
Mark my words, we're taking over the world!
Mark my words, we're taking over the world!
My breath was your breath
at least when we were young
I think it's funny how the times have changed
Throw being jealous in the mix and now all I know of you is a name
This couldn't have came at a better time
This ends right now
You're only hurting us
We gave all of ourselves to entertain you
We're only hurting ourselves
it's cause you haven't been here for too long
I called this right from the start
I turn my back for one second now all I hear is a shot in the dark
Use my name like you know me
You're all the same
You're only hurting us
We gave all of ourselves to entertain you
We're only hurting ourselves
Mark my words, we're taking over the world!
Mark my words, we're taking over the world!
Mark my words, we're taking over the world!

the band mates childhood friends turning their backs and become jealous of their success
"MARK MY WORDS WERE TAKING OVER THE WORLD! "
love that shit!!! and its all true =D
"I called it right from the start I turn my back for one secon, now all I hear's a shot in the dark"
story of my life this is my favourite ADTR song by far
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-POW!! Now that is the best beginning ever haha.
My Interpreatation:
Intro: "Let's take them back to the days when we were family My breath was your breath at least when we were young I think it's funny how the times have changed Throw being jealous in the mix and now all I know of you is a name This couldn't have came at a better time This ends right now"
He loses a lover to someone else that is close in family (brother) or friends. He was very close to this person and now hates them.
2nd Verse: "We gave all of ourselves to entertain you You're only hurting us We gave all of ourselves to entertain you We're only hurting ourselves"
He tries to go along with it and stay fine but he cant put on an act anymore.
3rd Verse: "I'm a god amongst the ants and your girlfriends and you act like you don't even know it's cause you haven't been here for too long"
He cant go along with everyone else he knows how his friend/family member really feels about this person and doesnt accualy love them like he did. He wants to tell them but knows that would screw everything up.
"I called this right from the start I turn my back for one second now all I hear is a shot in the dark Use my name like you know me You're all the same"
He knew it wouldnt go well and wanted to stop it before it started, he turned his back and they are together. His friends tried to act like nothing was wrong but they knew he wasnt ok, no one really tried to help him or give him a chance to talk.
Outro: "Keep running your mouth": No one knows so they can try and help but they will never understand
This is my interpretation cause this is how I fell about the song and this is how my life is right now :\
Amazing song though :]
This Song is about shit talking to people over the internet, watched the live vids he sais it before they play it most of the time...
the breakdowns in this song are so damn heavy
If you're into soft stuff. But it's a good song none the less.
"If you're into soft stuff"
"If you're into soft stuff"
The internet isn't a place to brag about how hardcore you are. grow up.

Dudes! He wasn't bragging about shit. Atleast didn't seem like it. He probably listens to heavier shit and this is soft to him. I mean it is to me, so like chill out. xX

I think it could be a life long friend turning their back but also to me it kinda sounds like the fans "we gave all of ourselves to entertain you" and i know the part where it says "my breath was your breath" like the words they sang you held just as true as they did. And they are saying fine turn your backs on us because we are still takeing over the world.
It's about shit talking on the internet.
Search the song on youtube, he says it right before the song starts.
this is my favourite adtr song the breakdowns are just the best! cant get enough of them and the lyrics at the end MARK MY WORDS WE'RE TAKING OVER THE WORLD! amazing
