Lazarus Lyrics
Anything that happened when I was young,
it came so measly.
And now all of those things are haunting me,
and nothing will calm.
I won't be offended if no one sees,
I just wanna know what that'll mean.
When I'm alone I make believe that,
I'm in a different time and place where,
nobody wants to know my name and
no one will recognize my face.
Anything that I did way back when,
it seems so long ago.
Might as well have all been by accident,
I've nothing left to show.
I wont be offended if no one stays,
I'll just blame it all on my old age.
When I'm alone I make believe that,
I'm in a different time and place where,
nobody wants to know my name and
no one will recognize my face.
2am, I'm thinking about how lucky i've been.
I need to take a moment to myself.
6am, I'm thinking about how lonely i've been.
I need to take a moment to myself.
it came so measly.
And now all of those things are haunting me,
and nothing will calm.
I just wanna know what that'll mean.
I'm in a different time and place where,
nobody wants to know my name and
no one will recognize my face.
it seems so long ago.
Might as well have all been by accident,
I've nothing left to show.
I'll just blame it all on my old age.
I'm in a different time and place where,
nobody wants to know my name and
no one will recognize my face.
I need to take a moment to myself.
6am, I'm thinking about how lonely i've been.
I need to take a moment to myself.

lazarus is a biblical character who was raised from the dead, so i think the title refers to all the kids who bring up old, irrelevant things to anthony, like how he feels about saosin or why he won't play "seven years" anymore.
i can imagine how frustrating it is to apart of something successful like circa survive, yet people ask you about some band you started in high school. anthony just really doesn't care about zolof or saosin or anything he used to be in.
overall, i think the song talks about shit that don't matter, such as anthony's fame. so many people put him on a pedestal, but he's a regular guy. the whole song, anthony is saying like, i wish i wasn't famous because i don't care about that. at the end, he's thinking about how incredibly lucky he is that he gets to live his dream as a musician, but at the same time he feels really lonely because he probably can't find people who love him just for who he is.
he doesn't want to be "anthony green from circa survive!!!" and he doesn't want to be associated with things from his past, either.
yeah, your explanation makes more sense and I couldn't agree more. good job. :)

I think you're half right, it's about how people bring up the past, but I think it's more that he wants to be known from Circa Survive or his solo-project then from them or what he did with them.

I don't think he'd like the fame he gets from Circa Survive, because he didn't form them, he found them and joined them, and to me that seems like he'd want to be there.

the one line: "I won't be offended if no one sings, I just wanna know what that'll mean"

Possibly refers to the fact that he's...
Possibly refers to the fact that he's a musician because he loves music, not fame, but if no one likes his music, what would that mean?
it's prety much the same for: "I won't be offended if no one stays, I'll just blame it all on my old age"
Means that he doesn't care if he loses his fame, he'll still love music.
Usually with CS lyrics, there's a hidden meaning in there, but with this one, it seems pretty solid that there's only one meaning.
This song couldn't be more obvious. It's clearly about Anthony's fame. He's saying he doesn't blame anyone if his music doesn't appeal to them anymore and that he thinks of himself as a fad. that one day people will forget him and he's just not certain how he will feel about it when that day arrives. And while many people like his band right now, and his name is out there and many people know who he is; it still leaves him lonely because he doesn't have many friends or time to do the things he used to because of the band and all the things that come with the fame. Well that's just my theory, it could be something completely different.
heres what i got...
Anything that happened when I was young It came so easily Now all of those things are haunting me And nothing will come
I wont be offended if noone sings I just want to know what that will mean, Oh
When im alone I make believe that Im in a different time Nobodys wants to, know my name and don’t want to recognize my face
Anything that I did, way back when It seems so long ago Might as well have all been by accident
Ive nothing left to show I wont be offended if noone stays Ill just blame it all on my old age, all
When im alone I make believe that Im in a different time and place where Nobody wants to know my name and Noone will recognize my face
2 am, im thinking about how lucky ive been Need to take a moment to myself 6am im thinking about how lonely ive been Need to take a moment to myself
(Anthony singing cherubically) When Im alone!
