Arrive Like a Whisper Lyrics
I see you driving away
On some holiday
Just to leave it all behind
Because his wheels turn
You dont feel the burn
Of the things that you carried inside
You've been sharpening those blades
For too many days
You're tired of looking for a fight
But now and again
My unfortunate friend
We all do things we know are right
You call me up
On some rainy sunday
Cause you're all alone
But you know you wont be one day
Oh, one day
You're gunna ride the wind that rattles cage
You wont feel no pain when youre wide awake
And youll give anyone more than they can take
Arrive like a whisper, go out with a bang
Now you may bend or break
But that's a chance you'll take
When you're hell-bent on trouble found
But just so you know
The further you go
It gets so hard to turn around
You call me up
On some rainy sunday
Cause you're all alone
But you know you wont be one day
Oh, one day
You're gunna ride the wind that rattles cage
You wont feel no pain when youre wide awake
And youll give anyone more than they can take
Arrive like a whisper, go out with a bang
On some holiday
Just to leave it all behind
Because his wheels turn
You dont feel the burn
Of the things that you carried inside
For too many days
You're tired of looking for a fight
But now and again
My unfortunate friend
We all do things we know are right
On some rainy sunday
Cause you're all alone
But you know you wont be one day
Oh, one day
You wont feel no pain when youre wide awake
And youll give anyone more than they can take
Arrive like a whisper, go out with a bang
But that's a chance you'll take
When you're hell-bent on trouble found
But just so you know
The further you go
It gets so hard to turn around
On some rainy sunday
Cause you're all alone
But you know you wont be one day
Oh, one day
You wont feel no pain when youre wide awake
And youll give anyone more than they can take
Arrive like a whisper, go out with a bang

These are the correct lyrics, as posted on Patrick's site.
He's so under-appreciated. This song is absolutely incredible. Seems to me about perhaps being passive and then realizing that the things that make you weak can be overcome. You're gonna ride the wind that rattles your cage.
patrick park is a lyrical genius; i can relate to every verse in this song...

--once your loved one ends the relationship, you try to agree during the conversation that what they say is right and the best for the both of you at this point in your lives; you're in a state of denial after someone you love ends a relationship with you and the overwhelming emotions haven't hit you yet
You've been sharpening those blades, for too many days you're tired of looking for a fight, but now and again, my unfortunate friend, we all do things we know aren't right.
--after the break up you start thinking where it could of gone wrong; your loved one begins to question the relationship to themselves as they give you less attention than before; this loss of connection between the two of you leads you to pick fights with them out of nothing just to hear or feel something emotional with them in effort to reconnect-"we all do things we know aren't right" --we know deep down that we see a change in the other person but we are too in love to think about the reality of the situation
You can call me up, on some rainy Sunday cause you're all alone, but you know you won't be one day, one day...
--the feeling of temptation you have to talk to your ex lover..especially on a "rainy Sunday" - meaning the type of drabby day you can't help but think about spending time with someone you care about the most. you know in your heart that things happen for a reason and someone else will come in your life but the thought of anyone else at this point is incomprehensible because you thought they were perfect for you...and you don't think you can let go of what you had with them until you meet someone else
You're gonna ride the wind that the rattles cage You wont feel no pain when youre wide awake And youll give anyone more than they can take Arrive like a whisper, go out with a bang
--one day you'll suddenly realize you will be able to move on again and be able to free your mind; "you won't feel no pain when you're finally awake" -- you begin to understand that life is beautiful in the way that everything happens for a reason and you appreciate the love you had for that person and the life lessons they taught you; you have become more aware of who you are as a person and know now to not let people take advantage of your heart, hence when he says "arrive like a whisper, go out with a bang" -- you have learned the hard way of how it feels for someone to break your heart, but after this experience, you are now more cautious to who you let into your life this way
