Yellow Angels

By the way...if you'd buy the cd instead of just ripping it offline, you'd know all the lyrics, and not have to go by what you hear. The question marks are actually "I want to know myself so bad it hurts. But I am a shelf holding UNREAD WORDS" Support the artists, especially ones as good as Senses Fail.

"he needed to live in the moment and love himself and life. " < Exactly, the "wake up, you're sleeping behind the wheel" part is about how we should do something with our lives instead of doing nothing and letting it go to waste like as if you're sleeping behind the wheel..

Well, that's what i think about it. :-)

As the car begins to roll I smile as I lose control This weightlessness is such a gift 'Cause gravity has lost its hold I see the sky, and then the ground Kaleidoscope of light and sound Catching flashes of my life Just then the house lights all went out I want to know myself so bad it hurts I'm am a shell holding on.*** (stupid typos)

I said goodbye so many times in my life I'm surprised it's still so hard for me To see that I should start living my life Or I will die unfulfilled and empty

I come to, still in the chair As yellow angels step with care My spinal cord's still sending shocks Buy my life's in need of repair There's got to be more than this I don't want to just exist as a hollow house for bones more alone every minute Is there a place where I can start again?

I said goodbye so many times in my life I'm surprised it's still so hard for me To see that I should start living my life Or I will die unfulfilled and empty

Wake up, you're sleeping Wake up, you're sleeping behind the wheel

I think this reads a lot like a failed suicide attempt, and now he's trying to turn his life around. It's really depressing, but beautiful. I absolutely love the way the first verse sounds (the music and his voice). It's haunting, but my favorite part. And I think it sounds more like "I am a shelf holding unread words."

More alone every minute

On their myspace, Buddy explains how this is his reaction to meeting Marcel. (Read my comment on four years to know who Marcel is).

They say this song was buddy's reaction to meeting Marcel and how he needed to live in the moment and love himself and life.

That lyric for the last sentence in the first paragraph is : "I'm a shell holding on."

"more alone every minute" that's the other sentence you're missing.

This is the complete lyrics:

Thanks for the corrections guys...I feel like an idiot for not getting the "alone" one... And for what it's worth FinchTx22, I did buy the cd, but I know some people who are impatient like myself also downloaded the leak and were looking for lyrics to sing along to. I concur that we should support the artists, and I understand that the labels see most of the money from album sales, but they are the ones who allow the artist to put out albums so I don't think that's a good excuse. So yeah, buy the cd and go to the shows if you give a shit, or don't if not. I'm sure there are lots of fans who get turned on to bands just by downloading them also, so...at least go to a show if that's the case. But again, I don't want to sound preachy either. This is an awesome song by the way, and I really like this cd a lot. Lots of energy and I think it's def Buddy's best work lyrically.

wat is the meaning of the "wake up your sleeping, wake up your sleeping behind the wheel" part, because buddy refers to this a couple of tims

See, what I do is if I like a band's sound, I download a few of their songs. If those songs touch me, I go out and buy the CD. :P
