In Concert Lyrics
You sit outside in the dark
And get nicked by the strobe light
While we're playing indoors
We play in a bar
We play in a basement
We play in a room where the mix isn't right
The help at the door
The age to get in
The artist is smug
They don't sound like they did
We're ready to move
The crowd is a stare
If you've got things on your mind
Shake them off!
That's why we have come to collect you bodies
From your lovers, and pause all the suffering
At least start pacing
You're not on the list
You paid to get in
Your boyfriend is mad
It was something you did
In concert tonight
The bass drum is quick
If you've got things on your mind
Shake them off!
And get nicked by the strobe light
While we're playing indoors
We play in a bar
We play in a basement
We play in a room where the mix isn't right
The age to get in
The artist is smug
They don't sound like they did
The crowd is a stare
If you've got things on your mind
Shake them off!
From your lovers, and pause all the suffering
At least start pacing
You paid to get in
Your boyfriend is mad
It was something you did
The bass drum is quick
If you've got things on your mind
Shake them off!

its been reported to say that he says in the breakdown the meaning of life
no no im kidding but does anyone but me hear a little glass danse in this song?
fuckin A. everytime I hear this song, I want to dance.
Seriously, I'd have to agree with you on that one. When they preformed this song when I saw them, I think I lost all control!
danse!
yeh, what a fucking song. this is the kinda thing that should be playing in clubs all over the world, all the time. glass danse too.
i cant even tell anyone how this song makes me feel its so up beat and hjfskhfwepe asjgfhweijwpejdas its just rad is all. love it
Lyrics are kind of innacurate. Love the intro riff to this song.
Thought about it, and this may not only be about them being in concert, but it may also be a metaphor of drugs or sex.
Its a possibility, its a pretty simply topic of writing, "Hey, we're good in concert." But it may also be a complete metaphor to a drug or something.
if you've got things on your mind shake em off !
what the fuck does he say in the breakdown.. "the crowd... show their support..... the just compare what they see on stage to what they hear at home in their own basements..." is all I know.
