Chevelle – Midnight To Midnight

General Commenthes talking about his third eye. "we both..." obviously suggests hes talking to a specific something or someone else.

General Commenthes trying to say that are we just giving up our hopes and dreams just because its hard. we fail at it once and so we say i cant do it and hang it up on a cross aad to live a life with no goals, dreams, or hope is useless ... instead we should call for hope and get up after we fall because if we do that we wont "die"... i might be wrong but thats how i see it

General Commentthose lyrics aren't right. they were probably written before the album came out. the lyrics are in the booklet with the cd but i don't have it with me. this is what i remember:



Sleep will carry us
Have to mention heavy on the REM (i know its weird and doesn't sound like it but its something with 'REM'...i would remember that)
It's the least discerning place

We could dive too...

We both shouldN'T last another day
Another failed invention straight to nowhere
One more you say, what causes these
It's all the better your greed seems to carry you well

Pre-Chorus:
We couldn't dive too...
Too...too...

Chorus:
We tossed our failures at the Earth
Connected to a cause
Stripped away another fool
Blame it all because
We tossed our failures at the Earth
Stripped away from under

So shy, cross my heart I sinned
With images TOO FAR apart to tell
What don't we know?
What should we know?
Slipping under is just the beginning of thirst

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

We so forgot to mention
A waste upon the hours
We so forgot to mention
The hook that is the chorus

We so forgot to mention
A waste upon the hours
We so forgot to mention
The hook that is the chorus

We couldn't dive too...
We couldn't dive...
We couldn't dive too...
We couldn't dive...

Chorus



that's correct. except for the exact verse before it starts, that's correct. and everytime he says "we could/couldn't dive too..." in the booklet it says "too far" but he definitely never sings that so i left it out.

CHEVELLE ROCKS!

General Commenti forgot to give my interpretation. it's definitely about dreaming or sleep. REM can stand for rapid eye movement which can occur during sleep. the opening line combined with the title is very meaningful (if i'm correct): sleep will carry us + midnight to midnight = sleep will carry us from midnight to midnight. i think it might be talking about sleep being a waste of time, e.g."a waste upon the hours". we could dive too far might mean we could get too caught up in our dreams.

but then again, he also says we couldN'T dive too far most of the time. that's why it could also be that sleep is GOOD. in the chorus, he could be saying we let our worries and failures go as we drift away from earthly things, "we toss our failures at the Earth".

that's my interpretation. a negative or positive song about sleep.

CHEVELLE ROCKS!

My Interpretationi think this song is about living in your fantasy to escape reality. midnight to midnight means living in a fantasy will bring us from life to death. screamline's interpretation is good too. but with every song there are a million interpretations remember that.
