Chop Chop Lyrics
I've got myself to blame for this
I've tried to compensate
For everything I'm not
And every face forgotten
You felt the sun warming your bed
You look so quintessential
Pressed against that cross
In the face of what was lost
Still, I'm not asking much of me
You're ignoring the matter
You'll shut me up and bleed me dry
With cheap champagne
And a complicated lifestyle
But if nothing else matters
Then I will die trying
Thinking about you and I
Three years on Friday since we met
You felt that existential kiss upon your neck
How could we forget that?
Still, I'm through acting like this feels right
And that nothing else matters
You'll shut me up and bleed me dry
With cheap champagne
And a complicated lifestyle
But if nothing else matters
Then I will die trying
Trying not to think about
(Trying not to think about)
Saw yourself and no one else
It's on yourself and no one else
But without hindsight
I guess it serves me right
You'll shut me up and bleed me dry
With cheap champagne
And a disappearing lifeline
If nothing else matters
Then I will die trying
Thinking about you and I
You'll shut me up and bleed me dry
Only a matter of time
Cheap champagne
And a complicated lifestyle
Only a matter of time
I've tried to compensate
For everything I'm not
And every face forgotten
You look so quintessential
Pressed against that cross
In the face of what was lost
Still, I'm not asking much of me
You're ignoring the matter
With cheap champagne
And a complicated lifestyle
But if nothing else matters
Then I will die trying
Thinking about you and I
You felt that existential kiss upon your neck
How could we forget that?
Still, I'm through acting like this feels right
And that nothing else matters
With cheap champagne
And a complicated lifestyle
But if nothing else matters
Then I will die trying
Trying not to think about
(Trying not to think about)
It's on yourself and no one else
But without hindsight
I guess it serves me right
With cheap champagne
And a disappearing lifeline
If nothing else matters
Then I will die trying
Thinking about you and I
Only a matter of time
Cheap champagne
And a complicated lifestyle
Only a matter of time

omg, no one? NO ONE?
cmon this song fucking rocks. barely know what its about though.
damn. Hardly any comments? wtf?
Well. Not so sure on what the song is about so much...but I think that he messed something up somehow, and he is blaming himself, and remembering times, and how she is one of the only ones who can actually make himself feel right, and do right things. But hey, i'm not for sure. That is just what first came to mind.
As for the song, I don't think it's the greatest on the new album, but I like it for the most part.
yeah im really confused on the meaning but i absolutely love the part "Three years on Friday since we met You felt that existential kiss upon your neck How could we forget that Still I am through acting like this feels right And now that nothing else matters"
im thinkin he feels kind of stuck.. but im not sure at all. :)
I really like this song :) Anyway, this is what I think...
"You'll shut me up and bleed me dry With cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle But if nothing else matters Then I will die trying Thinking about you and I"
Whenever he thinks and questions this relationship, that's what she does. Y'know, she doesn't want to face the reality that it just isn't working out.
"Still I am through acting like this feels right And now that nothing else matters"
He is sick of going through this. That part is kind of self-explanatory.
"Saw yourself and no one else It's on yourself and no one else But with our hearts tied I guess it serves me right"
Serves him right for not leaving and now both their hearts are broken because they just couldn't part and the strings are tied tight.
...and that's all I got :)
good song.
i agree with justgottakill
"You'll shut me up and bleed me dry With cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle But if nothing else matters Then I will die trying Thinking about you and I"
yeah the person qustions the relationship and she just shuts him up and wont answer him.....i dont know
Yeah, this song is awesome!!!
Well, I guess this song throws the whole "just another generic pop-punk band" thing out the window. I mean, what "generic pop-punk band" uses the words "quintessential" and "existential "??
And is it just me, or does the first verse sound like "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones??
in my honest opinion.. this song sort of speaks for itself. i have been in this situation many times. it seems to me that he's in a relationship with someone who's very selfish. and he's stuck because he loves the person, but she's all tied up in herself. so he continues to allow himself to get hurt over & over because he loves her. he knows he's to blame because at ANY given time he could just end the relationship, but he keeps going with it and keeps getting hurt and doesn't know where to end it. this is a VERY powerful song and very true, because this sort of thing happens ALL the time... soo many people are driven to suicide over horrible relationships... especially mentally abusing ones... anyways, amazing song! william is AMAZING at writing lyrics....
i think this is my favorite song off the new album. or at least top 3.
i'm getting the killers mixed with alkaline trio.
that's who made that song, really.
Probably my favorite song off of the album. Santi is amazing, and all of the songs blow my mind, wouldn't surprise me if they got alot of publicity. To me it sounds like William whispers "Santi" at 3:14, anyone else get that?
