What This Means To Me Lyrics

Between you and me
I think it's really sad how we're singing the same songs
Humming the same songs
Whoa, whoa
Don't you see what this means to me?

These are the hard times here to inspire
Convenient how it always works out this way
The message you'll find, heart on a wire
It'll make you say, it'll make you say:

"Oh my god, there must be something left to write
The two best words that sum up my whole life"

This is the story of our lives
From the road we sit and watch it pass by
Is this the best use of my time?
Don't worry my love, everything's alright
I'd give just about anything to know she's waiting for me
An eye for an eye, a dream for a dream

The life that I am force fed
I'm scared of the road ahead
Have you listened to a word I've said?
The big picture is my dream, it's dead

These are the hard times here to inspire
Convenient how it always works out this way
The message you'll find, heart on a wire
Don't you see what this means?

Between you and me
I think it's really sad how we're singing the same songs
Humming the same songs
Whoa, whoa
Don't you see what this means to me?

And I'd give just about anything to know she's waiting for me
An eye for an eye, a dream for a dream

It'll make you say, "Oh god, why was I wrong?
I missed all the meaning while it was spelled out all along"

"Between you and me I think its pretty sad how we're singing the same songs, humming the same songs." -The two people have alot in common and think of alot of the same things even if they aren't together.

"Don't you see what this means to me?" -He's in love with her.

"This is the story of our lives from the road we sit and watch it pass by. Is this the best use of my time? Don't worry my love everything's alright. I'd give just about anything to know shes waiting for me an eye for an eye a dream for a dream" -He thinks that time is wasted without her with him, and wonders if she still cares for him.

i think that's what it is about too,

"This is the story of our lives from the road we sit and watch it pass by." -he is on the road touring all the time

"Is this the best use of my time?" -is he sure he really wants to live this way, being away from her for so long

"Don't worry my love everything's alright. I'd give just about anything to know shes waiting for me" -everything will be ok, and he hopes she is waiting and thinking about him as much as he is her.

"Between you and me I think its pretty sad how we're singing the same songs, humming the same songs." -they are the same and are thinking about the same things and each other even when they are not together.

that's what i got out of it.

personally i think it is about his relationship with God and the environment around him. "Between you and me, I think it's pretty sad that were singing the same songs, humming the same songs." - So many people just think that they are Christians because they go to church and follow all the other Christians, branch out and be your own person in Christ

"Don't you see what this means to me?" - He's telling people to stop messing with religion and stop playing games with God because it means so much to him and to Him.

"Oh my god there must be something left to write. The two best words to sum up my whole life." - He is crying out to God, there must be something else not so cliche and not so overused to say to You to let you know i love You, and the two words are love and sacrifice."

"This is the story of our lives from the road we sit and watch it pass by. Is this the best use of my time? Don't worry my love everything's alright.I'd give just about anything to know shes waiting for me." - He is kinda comparing his beliefs to something that just passes by slowly without being able to do anything about it. He is questioning why he is a Christian in the first place and if it really is true that Jesus loves him. He just hopes that one day God will be waiting for him in Heaven to say "Well done, good and faithful servant."

"It will make you say o God why was i wrong i missed all the meaning when it was spelled out all along." - This is from the perspective of other people who don't believe in God, they are saying, How could I have missed Him and His love when it was right in front of my face this whole time?

I personally think it's less religious and more along the lines of him being disappointed that artists are selling out more and more and just writing what's Popular "I think it's kind of sad how we're singing the same songs" that's probably a more accurate translation than bringing up religion when it's probably not even clear that anyone in the band is even religious. I don't mean to sound anti-religion far from it it's just not always about a religous belief

"don't you see what this means to me" as an artist the lyricist is passionate about his his...

Only because I'm picky and want things my way. A better formation of the lyrics with minor changes.

Between you and me, I think its pretty sad how we're singing the same songs, humming the same songs.

Oh Woah Oh Woah

Don't you see what this means to me?

sweeettttt songgggg great voiceee :D

Cover art for What This Means To Me lyrics by I See Stars

I would have to agree with the original idea posted that it is about a long distance relationship (in a sense) and that people seem to read too much into it. I don't think that he is still with the girl who is the antecedent for "she". I'm thinking they probably broke up because he's always gone. "I think it's pretty sad how we're singing the same songs, humming the same songs." This is referring to that well-known cliche that loved ones are united by certain things, like "we're both looking at the same moon right now", for example. "I'd do anything to know she's waiting for me." She's not waiting for him but he feels like she should be because they're supposed to be together. I agree with the rest of the arguments though, such as "From the road we sit and watch it pass by" being that they are on tour and such.
