No Brakes Lyrics
Lay awake
I don't give a shit
If I even ever wake up in the morning
Down below
There's a pile of sin
Always waiting for a
Waiting for a warning
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Burned at the stake
Inside I'm blistering
Not a whisper
Looking in you'd never know it
Miles below
I look up again
When you snap they say
Before you never show it
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Someone said it's all right
Save it now, don't say it for my sake
Someone said it's all right
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Fuses glow
Wounds festering
Till the wind comes up
And takes it to the last pow
Back and forth
Staring at the wall
This room's a cage
I know that something's got to give now
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Someone said it's all right
Save it now, don't say it for my sake
Someone said it's all right
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
No brakes
I don't give a shit
If I even ever wake up in the morning
Down below
There's a pile of sin
Always waiting for a
Waiting for a warning
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Inside I'm blistering
Not a whisper
Looking in you'd never know it
Miles below
I look up again
When you snap they say
Before you never show it
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Save it now, don't say it for my sake
Someone said it's all right
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Wounds festering
Till the wind comes up
And takes it to the last pow
Back and forth
Staring at the wall
This room's a cage
I know that something's got to give now
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Save it now, don't say it for my sake
Someone said it's all right
Faster now, you know I got no brakes

Well you need a break before you break. In this song the person is at the end of their rope. About to snap. Really pissed off and about to blow up on somebody. So if they had some sort of break from the agitation or agitator they might be able to calm down or they are not getting any good breaks (good luck" As the song eludes Shit seems to just keep raining down on this person so the keep going "faster" or getting more angry becuase the get "no breaks".
He doesn't sing "Faster now, you know I got no brakes" after every verse.
Anyway though, this song means a lot to me. When I feel like shit, this song helps me get through it (I have to wallow a bit before I can get into happy music) but the upbeat, faster music really helps. Everyone probably relates to this song @ one point or another
Actually, he's not talking about not having a break as in a rest, he is talking about not having car breaks, but not literally. He's saying "I've gotta go faster, but you know I've got no brakes." He can't stop. It's about being out of control.
The title of the song is actually "No Breaks," as in a coffee break, not car brakes. And the first poster just posted the exact same thing as the origianal lyric guy. That was strange.
yea i dnt get how them lyrics r differnt to the other ones
To you guys talking about the lyrics not being different, they were different before and one of the admins probably changed them to the ones the guy posted... it was like 4 years ago
This is not No brakes lyrics... this is shit, here's the real thing: Lay awake I don't give a shit If I even ever wake up in the morning Down below There's a pile of sin Always waiting for a Waiting for a warning Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Burned at the stake Inside I'm blistering Not a whisper Looking in you'd never know it Miles below I look up again When you snap they say Before you never show it Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Someone said it's all right Save it now, don't say it for my sake Someone said it's all right Faster now, you know I got no brakes Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Fuses glow Wounds festering Till the wind comes up And takes it to the last pow Back and forth Staring at the wall This room's a cage I know that something's got to give now Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Someone said it's all right Save it now, don't say it for my sake Someone said it's all right Faster now, you know I got no brakes
