Surfaced Lyrics
I set my words on the ground and I was grinding my teeth. I planted
pieces of light to see if planets could speak. It took my mind by surprise
when I was finally free, through all my darkest days. I felt my heartbeat
again, and dropped to my knees. There was a sun in my eyes that made
a star out of me. It's like my life was a list and my head was first
to get crossed off. It's the pleasure that I keep to sit down with my
friends and talk about my day. Can you hear me? Well I don't even care.
I'll stop my screaming if you look the other way. It's been a bad year
so let me sleep in one more day. I really found the simple things live
closest to your home. I'm not alone because I live inside a world that
is my own. I haven't found what I've been looking for yet, but you
can count on me to stay forever. And that's the truth, we'll stay just
fine. I'm coming back and just on time to be myself again; the way that
made me real. So tell me, have you surfaced yet? This is how it felt
when I was growing up and being part of no one but you found yourself,
and that says a lot to me these days. I'm sorry for the way I used to
be, I was just a kid. Yeah, let me sleep this off. Try not to be hard
on yourself was all I ever heard from her. I finally think I understand
what she was saying to me, because nothing's worth the pain in your
back. Believe in that. The world can take control but don't ever lose
your heart, because I know you better than that.

This song is so awesome. I can't wait for the new album!
My interpretation: AJ is sick of those people who don't want him to pursue a career with music. that's why he says "can you hear me? well i don't even care" I love the line "It's been a bad year, so let me sleep in one more day" He's still looking for that something that will tell him music is what he's supposed to be doing, but for now he's happy with what he chose (and thank goodness he chose music) BEST. ALBUM. EVER. ASJDHASKJDAL i want to meet this band so bad and tell the entire universe that they exist.
this is one of my top favorite "I planted pieces of light to see if planets could speak. "
<3!
I reeeaally fuckin' hate (excuse my choice of words) how they've posted half of this bands lyrics.. Makes it shitload of NOT easy to follow and it's looking like a bunch of words just mixed in there without any thoughs behind -.-
sounds like he's talking about "coming out of the closet"
incredible? yeah. i can't explain what this song means to me, but it's pretty amazing.
found them a couple years ago through all time low, and i fucking love this band. there has yet to be one song that i dont like that aj's written. as for the meaning...im not so sure but i have a few theories which im sure aren't right so i'll keep them to myself haha but i LOVE the lyrics "can you hear me? well i don't even care" and "It's been a bad year, so let me sleep in one more day" and "It took my mind by surprise when I was finally free, through all my darkest days. I felt my heartbeat again, and dropped to my knees."
they are definitely going places.
"I really found the simple things live closest to your home. I'm not alone because I live inside a world that is my own" So much meaning. So so much meaning.
At the end of the bridge I think he says "Because I know you better than that- because I know you're better than that..."
I think this songs about losing yourself in the chaos of everyday life and getting overwhelmed, but finding the strength to pull yourself out again and rediscover your identity and realizing that you have to just go day to day, not taking even the smallest things for granted i.e. "It's the pleasure that i keep to sit down with my friends and talk about my day." and "I really found the simple things live closest to your home, im not alone because i live inside a world that is my own(an insanely meaningful line on its own.)"
