"promises are shit" and "stupid fuckin words they tangle us in our desires" are probably some of the greatest lyrics ive heard. anyone got some comments on this song?
it's depressing how little attention this band gets - i know that's that way it goes for not selling out, but still. people are so unwilling to go out and find things. anyway, there's nothing like shouting out "promises are shit" and "stupid fucking words" whenever i feel like it. love the bell knock in the beginning too. the way it should be is all we should have is our name and our word!
this song is talking about how words have lost so much meaning, since "we speak the way we breathe" he's saying that there is just an endless amount of inane bullshit that people blather on about like it actually matters... when it really doesn't. the contasting "promises... words" at the end just shows what promises really are; words... and then only time they are any good is if the person that promises is really worth their word.
the beginning and ending of this song are really great... it's like two songs in one. i.e. How promises are just words and how we "speak the way we breathe" but then the end is very encouraging and positive. i.e. "go where you think you want to go do everything you were sent here for..."
