Sober and Irrelevant

In my experience Anders seems to often write lyrics that purposefully mislead their readers... If this is about his (their) direction as a band it's more likely about the irony of people who supposedly love this band trashing it much more than people who actually hate it

First ever lyrics i wrote and i hope that they are correct.

IDK but this song is great In Flames rulez 4ever Meaning: i think it's about opening your mind and seeing that everyone has become sober clones, stop drinking and seeing that now there's nothing to believe in

Oh another meaning could be In Flames becoming distant to the ones that were creating clayman and older stuff Line "i lost my way" and "Used to be original, but now i tremble in fear i am like everyone else alabary spell

Is this how it feels to reach black bottom want to know how it feels to be forgotten" It fits perfect isn't it

I'm sick of hearing complaints about how Clayman was the last good album!

I think the song is about noticing how we are all similar and the same, and each of us are irrelevant in a way. We have our time to shine, then become just another person and someone else will fill our place.

In Flames we trust

This is what I hear:

Used to be original But now I tremble in fear I am like everyone else An embarassment

Is this how it feels To reach rock bottom Want to know how it feels to be forgotten?

I've become the distant I am the sober and irrelevant I don't feel part in this What is there to believe?

I'm not asking for much Just a moment A chance to pick up the pieces Happyness, please come home

What if it ends right here How do i change it Hoping to find a saviour I've lost my way

I've become the distant I am the sober and irrelevant I don't feel part in this What is there to believe?

Is this how it feels To reach rock bottom Want to know how it feels to be forgotten Hoping to find a saviour

I've lost my way.

I've become the distant I am the sober and irrelevant I don't feel part in this What is there to believe?

Probably you're right super-smashman.

It might be the lyric you posted but i just listened to the song a little bit and came up with this version i posted.

Thanks for "correcting" them ;)

This is my least favourite song off the new album - to me it sounds like a bitchy moan to the people who dissed them for changing their sound. The music is fine but the lyrics annoy me. Whether this is meant to be ironic or not, it just doesn't work.

On the upside ASOP is probably their best since Clayman (I still love the 3 in between unlike some)

I doubt this is about them changing their sound.

I think this is about people who have original ideas and want to express them, but because the current society has such ideals, these people won't express their original ideas, but instead go with the mass and be like everyone else. And they know deep inside that they are pathetic like all others and that they reached rock bottom. They are also hoping for something (a 'saviour') to make it possible for them to express those ideas they have.

Just my thoughts.

How do you not know what its about. A-D-D-I-C-T-I-O-N. end.
