Quicksand Lyrics
Slow sinking feeling kills the mood you're conveying
And it pulls me far down below
It might be best if you go
Can it not wait and hope for the best
Will it not stop a while to rest
I need to get up never mind cause I've done enough
'Cause the world waits around
But I keep slipping and losing ground
Do I not try so hard so good
I can't keep changing just because you think I should
Said all I need to and you don't understand still
Wish you saw picture my mind's eyes are deep
And they're cynical
One taken four more kills the pain healing that sore
I've taken what's left I took it all
And now you won't let me forget
Now that the world waits around
But I keep slipping and losing ground
Do I not try so hard so good
I can't keep changing just because you think I should
Stop your talking down
I lack the strength to sit or stand
I lost my self confidence in the quicksand
Not now or ever
Sink slowly my treasure
Not now or ever
Sink slowly my treasure
Not now or ever
Sink slowly my treasure
Not now
Not now
Not now
Not now
'Cause the world waits around
But I keep slipping and losing ground
Do I not try so hard so good
I can't keep changing just because you think I should
And it pulls me far down below
It might be best if you go
Can it not wait and hope for the best
Will it not stop a while to rest
I need to get up never mind cause I've done enough
But I keep slipping and losing ground
Do I not try so hard so good
I can't keep changing just because you think I should
Wish you saw picture my mind's eyes are deep
And they're cynical
One taken four more kills the pain healing that sore
I've taken what's left I took it all
And now you won't let me forget
But I keep slipping and losing ground
Do I not try so hard so good
I can't keep changing just because you think I should
I lack the strength to sit or stand
I lost my self confidence in the quicksand
Sink slowly my treasure
Sink slowly my treasure
Sink slowly my treasure
Not now
Not now
Not now
But I keep slipping and losing ground
Do I not try so hard so good
I can't keep changing just because you think I should

This song is so great, I love this sentence: "I can't keep changing just because you think I should "

Just looking at the lyrics, and listening to the song at the same time, first impression says its about conformity. He doesnt want to change to the world, yet he feels hes being left behind in a sort of way. Not too sure though
Yeah, too bad X103 has played "One Thing" well over a hundred times within a span of two months in our area, like it's a revolutionary piece of music (like Pardon Me was when Incubus first released it, and it was).
Anyways, Finger Eleven rocks.
Tip is the only good Finger Eleven CD, and this is by far and away the best song on the CD.
My favorite of Finger Eleven.
