Future Crimes

WILD FLAG

caught in my life this time
i'll swear off future crimes
lighten my soul
and i'll give up everything
then kick the bite (?) the scream
--- --- home
i'll wing it back to front
i'll wing it front to back
i want to feel this again
just like the heart attack
i want to make it good
i want to make it pure
make it right

caught in my life this time
'cause i'm so hardwired
to be alone
and we were everything
no i'm just kidding
don't want to know
and my --- goes out to it
my limbs are inside out
this voice is in my head
it's like a --- shout
but i can't turn it off
but i can turn it down
i'll make it quiet

ooh ooh ahhhh
i want to know

if you're gonna be a restless soul
then you're gonna be so so tired
if you're gonna keep me up all night
then you better learn to --- this fire
if you're gonna be a restless soul
then you're gonna be so so tired
if you're gonna give up on this fight
then i'm gonna call you a liar

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
