Gimme Half Lyrics

keep this on your mind
keep it within your eyelids
We have ascended countless stairs
Perhaps it has interrupted our thoughts
Regret is an inception, regret is a beginning
Miles and miles of wires build the apparatus
But don't mistake power lines for shelter
I forgot and it will more than likely happen again
Drink and binge the waters of the sea
Keep this on your mind,
Keep it within your eyelids
Don't climb for a lifetime only to fall short of infinity
Everything is left
With faith, some minds are sand
But I prefer concrete
This is whats going to separate us from them
Time for the next chapter
Keep this on your mind
Keep this within your eyelids

well I'm gonna try and take a shot at figuring out what this song means.

to me, it seems like he's talking about how in the end times, when the rapture happens. people are going to be left behind and how believers of Christ are different from all the non-believers. "this is what is going to separate us from them"

maybe he's saying all the things of this world will be gone in the end and that we shouldn't rely on them. "but don't mistake power lines for shelter".

and how people try their whole life to "earn" their way to heaven, but fall short in the end "don't climb for a lifetime only to fall short of infinity". those people have built their lives on sand rather than the concrete God provides. " with faith, some minds are sand; but i prefer concrete."

that's my take on it. let me know what you think.

Great interpretation! I completely agree.

This song has one of the nastiest intros on the album. Pretty sik.

buddy, have you not heard Danger: wildman? DUN DUN DUN! =D

whoops, wrong song. LOL i ment to say Big Wiggly style LOL

I'm going to have to agree with daneallen, best intro I've heard. Not just that though, the mixture of keyboards throughout the song makes this one of my favs. When metal meets classical!

Yeah, it's definitely not Keep it within your hands. you fail at posting lyrics, wait until they come out next time kid.

I really don't see why you have to be a prick... He/she didn't wait to get a booklet and have the lyrics Handed, he/she wanted to challenge oneself, If you tried to figure out lyrics you wouldn't even be close I bet,

Exactly! no point in being an ass about it DanielFNK
