Here's To You

i think he's just taking a certain perspective on his life and putting it into lyrics. it's a good upbeat song

what i get out of this -- him and someone else used to be very close.. had a lot of memories.. and now they're grown apart. it's a bit more deeper and complex than that but i can't pinpoint it. i dunno, but it's a great song. :]

I think this song is about cherishing a moment in life, and learning to appreciate innocent times. It's about realizing you need to live your life as it comes to you, and not get so worried about the future.

What you see goin by is a shadow. You've got to live in front of your eyes.

just let what happens in the past stay behind you and always keep looking foward

What you see going by is a shadow, You're got to live in front of your eyes....great quote- I view it a different way. Living in a shadow, you are reacting to life, kind of taking what comes your way, instead of going out and getting what you want. If you live in front of your eyes, you are taking the initiative and creating your dreams in life, instead of waiting for other things to push you.

"I say now way back when you and all your friends Had some good times we should do this agai we'd say Hey, hey, hey we should do this again, we'd say. But in the mean meanwhile, I'll just walk the mile. I won't look back won't forget your smile Oh no, hey hey hey we should do this again, we'd say But I swear to you true. From this day on I swear to you true I swear I do."

This is so true, after you grow up and move away, you do realize that those times are gone and probably won't happen again, but they make you happy when you think about them.

Great song.

its about living in the present

i heard that the lead singer used to be an addict and he's now a reformed Christian.

from my perspective it seems as if he was in a place in his life where he wanted to die. but he just kept finding reasons to live. even if it was something small like good memories.

"I coulda chilled at will but i didnt know how to DIE." this whole verse seems kind of like he may be saying how hes pulling on his childhood memories to keep him together. "in a typical day, we'll stay, to see what's gonna last" saying how wondering what the day might bring may be reason enough to stick around.. "i coulda died, but i chose to live here instead" this seems like he may be talking of how he was ready to die, but found a better maybe more spiritual place to be

"ive been woken and ive been broken but this time, its gonna change..." to be woken and broken is almost always reference to being saved spiritually, saying that youve been awoken to a new aspect of life, and how God breaks you completely before building you back up to the way your meant to be.

maybe im way off though, haha

urcrazeeman i have to say i really dont think youre right. im a pretty big oar fan and ive never heard of marc (the lead singer) being an addict. i think that what most everyone said is right on. i think this song is about enjoying life and the friends that surround you. some of the lyrics are really poetic and metaphorical but i think that's the gist. great song
