Warrant Lyrics
I know all about it but my heart is strong
Yeah the warrant's out and I'm almost dead
I won't say what I've already said
Got to get away, they want me alive or dead
Come through the phone lines
Not man enough to face me
I can’t stop or argue about what they say
Yeah, the warrant's out
And I'm not gonna pay
I said what I'm gonna say
Got to get away, they want me alive or dead
It warms you up and takes you in
You mouth the words but no sounds comes out
Fear is like your best friend
Manipulates and takes you in
You mouth the words… no sound again
But you don’t know better, you don’t know better
From the lyrics book:
I've been judged, I've been a bug unknown Yeah I know all about it but my heart is strong
I've been away, been running to save my head Yeah the warrant’s out and I'm almost dead I won’t say what I've already said
Got to get away, yeah the warrant’s on my head Got to get away, they want me alive or dead
I've thought a lot about the way that they fight Come through the phone lines Not man enough to face me I can’t stop or argue about what they say Yeah, the warrant’s out and I'm gonna pay I said what I'm gonna say
Fear is like a fake friend It warms you up and takes you in You mouth the words but no sounds comes out Fear is like your best friend Manipulates and takes you in You mouth the words… no sound again But you don’t know better, you don’t know better
and I'm not gonna pay*
and I'm not gonna pay*
this is foster the people talking about the down side of fame. they are sick of fake freinds inside their heads. like all their songs, it is hard to know the deeper meaning with the really catchy tune distracting you
Well I've been just I've been a bug unknown I know all about it but my heart is strong
Well I've been just I've been a bug unknown I know all about it but my heart is strong
I've been away been running to save my head Yeah the warrants out and I'm almost there No ones said what I've already said
I've been away been running to save my head Yeah the warrants out and I'm almost there No ones said what I've already said
Got to get away Everyone inside my head Got to get away They want me alive or dead
Got to get away Everyone inside my head Got to get away They want me alive or dead
I've thought a lot about the way fight Come through the phone lines, not man enough to face me
I've thought a lot about the way fight Come through the phone lines, not man enough to face me
I can stop or argue about what they say Yeah the warrants out and I'm gonna pay I said what I'm gonna...
I can stop or argue about what they say Yeah the warrants out and I'm gonna pay I said what I'm gonna say
Got to get away THE WARRANTS ON MY HEAD Got to get away They want me alive or dead
He was like a fake friend who warms you up and takes you in You mouth the words but no sound comes out And he was like your best friend who wakes you up and takes you in You mouth the words and sound again Don't know better Don't know better
Got to get away Everyone inside my head Got to get away They want me alive or dead
The very beginning of this song sounds like it belongs in The Legend of Zelda to me...
Lol I came on here to say the same thing! When I first heard it I thought of Zelda Ocarina of Time, or an old Final Fantasy game.

I love this song... It's my favorite on the album. I wish it had more comments.
As for the meaning... It's a very dramatic-sounding song, and I thought it was about literally running away from the law, until I read the lines "I've thought a lot about the way that they fight/Come through the phone lines, not man enough to face me." Sounds a lot like it could be about digital harassment. I think the victim of the harassment maybe got in an arguement with these people and gave a less-than-satisfactory opinion ("I've said what I'm gonna say"), and now they're sending him nasty texts or calling him withholding caller ID. But this is a strong person, and frankly they could care less about what they have to say about him ("I know all about it, but my heart us strong") - he knows he's better than them if they get so worked up about a view they disagree with. Now he's just trying to avoid them.
I don't know about the whole "Fear is like a fake friend" verse though, but I think it's brilliant and often find myself singing it in the shower. :)
i think that your right, but the "fear is like your best/fake friend" is that he got into a fight with his friends and/or best friend and they turn on him after "taking him in"

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the chorus of this song, the music, the singing style... great stuff.
