Before I Die Lyrics

set me free
let me be
who and what I am
why can't you see?
you never seem to understand
this pain I feel
is as real as your ignorance
question fate
as I await deliverance

like a fantastic fork
in bloody meat
don't give me love
I wanna drown in your deep divide

tumbleweed
sew the seed
in this ghost town
you never know
what you'll see
when the sun goes down
I saw her last
in a dream
she seems to astound
heard of her first
third verse
(216)
hands bound
taken from me in my mind
empty without it inside
starving I am the deprived
just want it once
desires strong
resistance is weak
it's hard to win
when you've got
so many mouths to feed

I could die
for all of my sins
no not for that
for all that I have never had
this life's a fight
for fulfillment
inside a war of my own
hindsight look back
with resentment
taken as I find
myself all alone
taken from me

JMann AKA Jason Popson the singer with the lower voice, the first voice heard of this song gives an obscuree reference to the bad he originaly came from - (216)

"I saw her last in a dream she seems to astound heard of her first third verse (216) hands bound"

(216) was a four peice from Ohio (Also the area code for Cincinnati, Ohio the home town of (216) and Mushroomhead.) that released an independant CD and contained a song called "Hands Bound" I am nowhere near about to attempt decyphering these lyrics, however here are the lyrics to the thrid verse of "Hands Bound" so you all can make your own personal assumption.

"BLUE GREY GREEN I CAN FEEL HER EYES ON ME IT TEARS ME APART THIS VENGEANT HEART THIRSTS FOR LOVE LIVED THROUGH ART BOTH SIDES OF THE SWORD SPLINTERED ID WALK FOR MILES TO TASTE YOUR SMILE THESE EYES SEE THROUGH DENIAL TURN OF A DIAL STATIC SINGS IT TEARS ME APART THIS VENGEANT HEART THIRSTS FOR LOVE LIVED THROUGH ART BOTH SIDES OF THE SWORD SPLINTERED ID WALK FOR MILES TO TASTE YOUR SMILE THESE EYES TURN OF A DIAL STATIC"

I myself don't know what to think even after reading that...I sure as hell hope somone selse does.

lol i'm in Cleveland. why is my Area Code 216? xD. But ya if you have the chance to listen to 216 check them out

Not Valid

The hands bound song is about loving a girl but feeling powerless to act on the feelings. As for the reference in Before I Die, sounds like he's regretting inaction or taking a wrong course of action with her. Nothings part seems to constantly speak of deprivation of all sorts; don't give me, empty without it, all that I have never had. What he's talking about is probably something only he will know.

yeah its about love and how fucked the feeling can get you...this song was amazing at Ozzfest (UK) this year. Mushroomhead RULE!!!

Cover art for Before I Die lyrics by Mushroomhead

to me it means not doing things when you had the chance to do them...like someone before said "loving a girl but being powerless to act." i dont think the song is JUST about loving a girl...i think it's about life in general, and not making the most of it.

lessthanjason is a fucking cheap ass rip-off of the band "less than jake". If you listen to that cheap wanna-be emo shit then you might as well kill yourself. mushroomhead kicks ass, you just dont have the intellect to understand them....
