My Life for Hire Lyrics

Somebody give me a sign,
That everything's going as planned
And then everything falls away
Into the darkness of this shallow place
The detail is striking,
This room's cold and frightening
You'll kick and you'll scream, you try everything to survive
But you should know your fate by now

They told me (they told me)
How I should be
But I broke the mold somehow!

It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I'll swear I'll be the one
To let the world what you've done to me!

You, you know you gotta search yourself
Leave what you need for now
It's not the time or place your searching for
All I can give is my worst of intentions
You're nothing to me, and everyone can see that
Your life's a lie, there's no where left to hide

They told me (they told me)
How I should be
But I broke the mold somehow!

It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I'll swear I'll be the one
To let the world what you've done

It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I'll swear I'll be the one
To let the world what you've done to me!

Watch your back, you'll lose yourself!
THIS IS A BATTLEGROUND!

When will they know?

Your life's a lie!

It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I'll swear I'll be the one
To let the world what you've done

It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I'll swear I'll be the one
To let the world what you've done

They told me (they told me)
How I should be
But I broke the mold somehow.

Fuck this. Came here to see opinions on the MEANING of the song, but all I see are goddamn lyric corrections. Done.

@dwgskywalker691 Fucking seriously. I hate these people lol.

Still-fake, two-faced. You can try to resolve the past right now. But I swear I'll be the one...to remember what you've done to me.

I spent the last 15 minutes listening to that part over and over but I swear that's what it sounds like. You can hear the "d" sound on two-faced and can't on still-fake so they are 2 different words. Plus it makes sense in the context of the song and not to mention there is no L-sound so it's not "too late, too late" Listen to it starting at 2:56 and Jeremy's vocals sound a little bit clearer.

Or maybe not...

My Interpretation

YES STILL FAKE, TWO FACED :)

I definitely hear that!

Good ear. I agree on that

Too late Too late * , not "Too vague, too vague"

too late too late you can try to resolve the past right now would make more sense. although it does sound a lot like they say too vague too vague.

i think your right, its "too late"

nope, it's vague

also, "you gotta search yourself" sounds like "assert yourself"

my worst salvages = "my worst of intentions"

My thoughts about this song is about uncertainty in the pursuit of what you want, mainly because of people around you that will cast doubt on you. There will always be people who are going to picture your destiny according to themselves and don't give a fuck what you really want... (they told me how I should be, but I broke the mold somehow)

My Interpretation

Im un sure of the chant and that one line in the first verse. Anyone got any ideas?

Good effort. The last line of the chorus isn't "but I swear I'll be the one, the one to watch you die". It's actually "but I swear I'll be the one to remember what you've done".

Honestly yall call urselfs ADTR fans fuck dude.

He says:

Its too late, too late you keep trying to resolve the past right now But I swear I'll be the one To let the world know what you've done, to me.

And the chant is But I Broke The Mold Somehow!!!!!!!

and also someone says on the last one

but i swear i'll be the one, to let the world go watch you die(some body give me a sign) too vague too vague, you can try to ressolve the past right now but i swear i'll be the one, to let the world go watch you die, today

Cover art for My Life for Hire lyrics by A Day to Remember

They told me, how I should be, BUT I BROKE THE MOLD SOMEHOW! Too vague, too vague, you can try to ressolve the past right now, But I swear I'll be the one to let the world go watch you die. Today!

You, you know you gotta search yourself, Leave what you need for now, It's not the time or place you're searching for. All I can give is my worst of intentions. You're nothing to me, you don't like what you see, Your life's a lie, there's no where left to hide.

Watch your back, you'll lose yourself! This is a battleground! When will they know, Your life's a lie.

Too vague, too vague, you can try to ressolve the past right now, But I swear I'll be the one to let the world go watch you die.

Too vague, too vague, you can try to ressolve the past right now, But I swear I'll be the one to let the world go watch you die.

They told me, how I should be, BUT I BROKE THE MOLD SOMEHOW!

I was so amazed when this song went up on YouTube. I easily recognized the breakdown from the intro they play live. If you haven't seen them live yet then...there's something wrong with you.lol
