I'm giving up all expectations
That I will live a meaningful life
I once was filled with inspiration
That lion heart has lost his pride
I'm not the person that I thought that I would be
I keep tripping over the same steps
These words are beautiful
Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets
I'd rather die than live like this
I gotta give, I'm giving in
Some people never will go crazy
What horrible lives they must lead
I'm gonna try and pay to see it
And build a window to help me see
I'm not the person that I thought that I would be
I keep tripping over the same steps
These words are beautiful
Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets
I'd rather die than live like this
I gotta give, I'm giving in
I have got my eye lids stapled shut
I have failed but I'm used to it
My past is just that
It's a sunken old ship
There will be moments
I pretend that I can raise it up
Up out from the depths
Who the fuck am I kidding?
I was born with the curse of always giving in
Every day is another chance to make peace with myself
But I would rather play dead
Sure it looks easy when it's through my lies
A hero has a thousand faces, none of them matching mine
Fuck the world, fuck the stars, fuck the person you are
But nothing will matter if I don't give up folding my cards
I'm not the person that I thought that I would be
I keep tripping over the same steps
These words are beautiful
Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets
I'd rather die than live like this
I gotta give, I'm giving in
That I will live a meaningful life
I once was filled with inspiration
That lion heart has lost his pride
I'm not the person that I thought that I would be
I keep tripping over the same steps
These words are beautiful
Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets
I'd rather die than live like this
I gotta give, I'm giving in
Some people never will go crazy
What horrible lives they must lead
I'm gonna try and pay to see it
And build a window to help me see
I'm not the person that I thought that I would be
I keep tripping over the same steps
These words are beautiful
Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets
I'd rather die than live like this
I gotta give, I'm giving in
I have got my eye lids stapled shut
I have failed but I'm used to it
My past is just that
It's a sunken old ship
There will be moments
I pretend that I can raise it up
Up out from the depths
Who the fuck am I kidding?
I was born with the curse of always giving in
Every day is another chance to make peace with myself
But I would rather play dead
Sure it looks easy when it's through my lies
A hero has a thousand faces, none of them matching mine
Fuck the world, fuck the stars, fuck the person you are
But nothing will matter if I don't give up folding my cards
I'm not the person that I thought that I would be
I keep tripping over the same steps
These words are beautiful
Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets
I'd rather die than live like this
I gotta give, I'm giving in

What horrible lives they must lead"
That's a Bukowski quote, in case anyone was interested.
p.s. bukowski is the most awesome guy ever.
in Wolves At The Door
its at the end of the song
im not sure if its an exact quote but its there
I was born with the curse of always giving in"
To me this song is about trying to have hope and then giving up because you know there's no point in hoping. Its about trying to muster up the courage to go on and then giving up. The one thing i do not understand is the title.
Amazing song but WHAT THE FUCK AHH. DDDDDD:
i think this song's about re-assessing where you're going in life, but being held back my all your regrets and apst mistakes
postt and tell me if ya think the lyrics are wrong and will correct if i think you're right
A hero has a thousand faces, none of them matching mine"
I am pretty sure that these lyrics should be:
"Sure it looks easy when it's through borrowed eyes
The Hero has a thousand faces, none of them matching mine"
"I have got my eye lids stapled shut"
I'm giving up all expectations that I will live a meaningful life.
I once was filled with inspiration but that lion heart has lost his pride.
I'm not the person that I thought that I would be.
I keep tripping over the same steps, the stars aren't beautiful, advice is never useful.
I still walk the line held tight with my regrets, I'd rather die than live like this.
I've gotta give up giving in.
I have got my eyelids stapled shut.
"Some people never will go crazy, what horrible lives they must lead."
I'm going to try and paint new scenery and build a window to help me see
I have failed but I am used to it.
The past is just that, it's a sunken old ship.
There will be moments I pretend that I can raise it up back from the depths
Everyday is another chance to make peace with myself but I would rather play dead.
Sure it looks easy when it's through borrowed eyes "The hero has a thousand faces"
none of them matching mine.
Fuck the world, fuck the stars, fuck the person you are
None of this will matter if I don't give up folding my cards.
I doubt it has to do with anything, but the other day in a newspaper I read that Lindsay Lohan has siblings named Ali and Cody. Weird coincidence?
(Too bad that isnt true if you keep following the story of the album:] )
buddy said himself he wasn't going to repeat the idea of still searching with another concept album
although there is an overbearing message of the ability to change in LINAWR,
i dont think it materializes until Map the Streets
overall, good interpretation
and i do think that most albums are meant to be played through in order
