Ali For Cody Lyrics
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 scars aren't 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've gotta give up giving in
Some people never will go crazy
What horrible lives they must lead
I'm gonna try and paint new scenery
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 scars aren't 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've gotta give up giving in
I have got my eyelids stapled shut!
I have failed, but I'm 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
Up out from the depths
Who the fuck am I kidding?
I was born with the curse of always giving in (giving in!)
Every day is another chance to make peace with myself
But I would rather play dead (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'm not the person that I thought that I would be
I keep tripping over the same steps
These scars aren't 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've gotta give up giving in
I have got my eyelids stapled shut.
if you actually bought the CD you would know the name of the song is Ali For Cody.
"Some people never will go crazy What horrible lives they must lead"
That's a Bukowski quote, in case anyone was interested.
AH! i totally noticed that when i heard it and i was like oh damn this song is officially the best. i wasnt sure if i was just imagining the quote or not, im happy someone else noticed it. p.s. bukowski is the most awesome guy ever.

I love this song. Kinda reminds me of Battle Hymn. Thank God they haven't lost the screaming. Can't wait for the new album.

"Who the fuck am I kidding? 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.
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO BUDDY'S VOICE ;_;.
Amazing song but WHAT THE FUCK AHH. DDDDDD:
can't wait for the new albumm
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
"Sure it looks easy when it's through my lies A hero has a thousand faces, none of them matching mine"
"Sure it looks easy when it's through my lies 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 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"
Also, the last line in the song is: "I have got my eye lids stapled shut"

To correct myself - it depends where you look. Senses Fail's main page says 'All for Cody' but the pre-order page says 'Ali For Cody'.
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?
So after the first few songs in the story, Buddy realised it will be harder than he though to change who he is. Now he is at the lowest point of this story, again in depression. He reassures himself that he will always be depressed, that people will not change.
(Too bad that isnt true if you keep following the story of the album:] )
well the album doesn't necessarily follow a story 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

i get the meaning of the song, the only thing I'm confused on is the title. anyone have any info on this?
