I've Seen Enough

when I heard this song I though Imediatly that it was about the occupation of Iraq. with the referneces to a flag and nothing news. The Us is running out of money and friends whom will continue to support them.

Please get the lyrics correct b4 you post them!

It is "how's it gonna feel when summer ends, out of money, out of friends I've seen enough of nothing news the blackest stain on history or last laugh blues not gonna fight not gonna cry not gonna shop around for one flag to fly. I've seen enough inventors age I've covered up my face browbeaten shame I've got the itch I feel the sting like falling in to the deepest sleep and telephone rings Ive seen enough the angry mob yelling in unison da da da they can't be stopped sitting at home making plans don't want to be another silly set of accident hands"

So quit posting lyrics that are not correct, it makes a site like song meanings very useless if you add the wrong lyrics!

I am too honest. But has anybody ever heard of Bon Iver- artist from Wisconson- great music. There is a song called Skinny Love and one of the lyrics mentions rope burn.

Well I work in these wind towers and I was lowering equipment by rope. Well the load started to get away from me and this rope burned my hands.

There is no accounting for this. There is no accounting for 'accident hands either. Or this song. Definately not out of friends or money but damn I feel some blowbeaten shame for peeing and missing the toilet.

that's why the option EDIT exists!!!

i always correct my posts so do fuck off

this song is oh so good.

what I get from this song, it's that you're at a crossroads, all the good times are ending. what to do next...

best song on the album.

For some reason, this song reminds me of the story of Emmitt Till...

"The blacker stain on history" he was black, and the "stain" is that he will be remembered by the people who saw him lynched, or heard about it. A stain can't be removed, and neither can what happened to Emmitt.

"The angry mob Yeah they were unison da-da-da They can't be stopped" that's the people that had him lynched perhaps?

It's probably not the meaning of the song, Emmitts story, but it does match pretty well I think...

It's 'the blackest stain on history.' a minor change, but I thought I would point it out.

I'm pretty sure that line is actually:

yelling in unison "die! die! die!"

It makes way more sense than "da da da". I think the singer's voice just distorts it a bit so that it's hard to make out.
