Walking Dead

Decyfer Down

Pull the trigger now, end me
Mark me for the kill
Like i marked your hands your feet i spilled,
All your blood flowing deeper
To suffocate the sin
'Til I drown in you again

I am so alive
Since you took my life
I'm walkin' dead now
Only you remain, ya
Ill take the life you gave
Ill walk from the grave
I'm walkin dead now
I am not afraid

Stab it deeper now
Spill me
My body left for dead
Like i pierced your side until it bled
And the blood flows freely
it fills me till i see
That there's nothing left of me

I am so alive
Since you took my life
I'm walkin' dead now
Only you remain, ya
Ill take the life you gave
Ill walk from the grave
I'm walkin' dead now

*solo*

I AM SO ALIVE
SINCE YOU TOOK MY LIFE
I'M WALKIN' DEAD NOW
ONLY YOU REMAIN
ILL TAKE THE LIFE YOU GAVE
ILL WALK FROM THE GRAVE
I'M WALKIN' DEAD NOW
I AM NOT AFRAID

I AM SO ALIVE
SINCE YOU TOOK MY LIFE
I'M WALKIN' DEAD NOW
ONLY YOU REMAIN
ILL TAKE THE LIFE YOU GAVE
ILL WALK FROM THE GRAVE
I'M WALKIN' DEAD NOW
I AM NOT AFRAID

    foreknew, predestined, called, justified, glorified

    the blood of the covenant shed for many for the remission of sins

In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
