Seven Thousand Miles for What? Lyrics
Since when did you become so cold,
and such a lifeless piece of work?
I can't take the sound of you anymore,
or the thought of you.
Don't worry, take what you need,
I left you and you're a dying breed.
But before we forget,
when the lights burn out,
don't come home crying to me.
I will surrender myself,
for the better health of someone who really cares.
Why would you throw it away so fast?
It's got to get better than this,
too hard for too long, I'm holding on.
Try to go,
but it just don't feel right.
This light, your eyes, I'm easy.
I should've known better by now,
but you look so damn good.
Go get your black dress, baby,
and put your dancin' shoes on.
Go get your black dress, baby,
and put your dancin' shoes on.
I swear to God,
my intentions were gold.
I swear to God,
my intentions were gold.
Run away from your mistakes,
just like the ones you hid from me.
Why can't you see
that I was expecting this all along?
The road is long,
where's the light?
I'm tired of walking alone.
Alone, alone.
I hope you know,
I hope you know,
I left you long before you left me.
I hope you know,
I hope you know,
I left you long before you left me.
Time's up.
and such a lifeless piece of work?
I can't take the sound of you anymore,
or the thought of you.
I left you and you're a dying breed.
But before we forget,
when the lights burn out,
don't come home crying to me.
I will surrender myself,
for the better health of someone who really cares.
It's got to get better than this,
too hard for too long, I'm holding on.
Try to go,
but it just don't feel right.
This light, your eyes, I'm easy.
I should've known better by now,
but you look so damn good.
and put your dancin' shoes on.
Go get your black dress, baby,
and put your dancin' shoes on.
my intentions were gold.
I swear to God,
my intentions were gold.
just like the ones you hid from me.
Why can't you see
that I was expecting this all along?
where's the light?
I'm tired of walking alone.
Alone, alone.
I hope you know,
I left you long before you left me.
I hope you know,
I hope you know,
I left you long before you left me.

I believe this song is about a guy and his girlfriend. They had a good relationship at first, but she took him for granted like he was nothing. They still dated and the guy saw the relationship dying, but tried to hold on even though he knew he deserved to be treated better. There wasn't any connection left emotionally so he tried to hold on to the only thing left which was physical attraction hence the lyrics "the light, your eyes, I'm easy...but you look so damn good" He finally realized how much time he wasted (the road is long....im tired of walking alone) and plans to leave her so he gives her another chance to impress him which is why he says, "go get your black dress baby and put your dancing shoes on" "i hope you know I left you long before you left me" is saying he saw this coming for a while & "times up" he finally leaves so basically he wouldve treated her really well but she took it for granted and she will regret it after he leaves.
xo hope that's a helpful interpretation :)
I love austin's screaming, and this song is incredible for pure anger. >=)
but another song he did that's perfect for break up's was with attack attack, called party foul. >.<
This Song is amazing but in a way it reminds me like its still Attack Attack. But It is still brilliant.
Wow Austin is really mad it seems like a mix of anger/hate to attack! attack!(is old band which he got kicked out of) or possibly an ex girlfriend its a perfect song to listen to when youre mad when my girlfriend broke up i couldnt stop listening to it the lyrics were perfect for the situation
ahhh i love austin's scream. (:
andd i think this is about attack attack.

Ditto. He puts so much emotion into his screams, something you don't hear that much anymore.

i dont get this part
Go get your black dress, baby, and put your dancin' shoes on.
i think this is more for an ex girlfriend rather than A!A!. its what i first thought of when i listened to it. considering "I should've known better by now, but you look so damn good"- i guess that could work towards A!A!. but if he were to be going after them id expect something better.
"Go get your black dress, baby, and put your dancin' shoes on."- why would he be saying that to A!A! ?
just my opinion
by 'put your dancin shoes on' he is saying 'get ready to fight'. another word for fight is dance. ya know???? like 'you wanna go? ok lets dance.'

i love how almost all their songs can be related to the austin/jaxin situation now
It sux that austin is out of this band but when i saw them he was havin heart surgry or somethin in jerry roush(permanent member now x-Sky eats airplane) filled in and he was aewsome they followed after we came as romans and man that show was the shit.
I'm so glad Austin Carlile is out of this band and every other band hes been in. He's a monotone whiney little bitch. All he has is his girl screech "screams" and that son of a bitch made Jaxin and his fiancee break up a while back and Jaxin had a sign for their tip jar at warped that said "Help me buy my girlfriend and NEW engagement ring." Austin Carlile can suck Jerry Roush's dick cause Jerry blows that douchebag out of the water.
Fuck off. If you don't like OM&M then get off the page. I like both bands but don't troll OM&M on their own page. Thats what asshole douche bags do. And the bands still have mutual respect for each other so don't make Jaxin out as a savior and Carlile as a whiney little bitch, cause your description of Jaxin at Warped Tour 2011 makes it seem like the roles are reversed.

Guess what!!! He's back in!! And Jerry Roush was filling in for Austin while he was out of commission from the multiple heart surgeries he had.
