Red Letter Day Lyrics
You've got some nerve I never knew
what with the world we gave away infront of you.
I see it all much clearer now.
You're just a phase I've gotten over anyhow.
It's over. I'm not giving in again.
We're loyal like brothers, just us versus all the others.
You're the one for... you're the one for me
I trusted misleading promises worth repeating.
How could you do this to me?
Red letter day that I learn.
I'm sure you get what you deserve.
I see it all much clearer since
I'm far past the point of this.
If it's a lie, I don't want to be the one who signed.
I'm not the one who falls down.
It's over now.
If you want to try....
Try and forget it.
It's over.
I'm gone.
We're loyal like brothers, just us versus all the others.
You're the one for... you're the one for me
I trusted misleading promises worth repeating.

It could be about a boy and a girl. "We're loyal like brothers" doesn't necessarily mean that they're both boys. It's LIKE brothers, so that means that they're very loyal. But the girl betrayed him and all. Red Letter Day is a happy day. It could mean that he is happy now that he realized something and he could move on. But that's just my opinion and all of your meanings can be true! There is no right or wrong answer regarding your point of view.
Melodic, emotional, and vague. sounds like a get up kids song. This could be describing a number of different situations via song. Red-Letter is an adjective meaning memorably happy. This song has little to do with happiness, which is a pleasant quirk: happy song, sad lyrics. This is one of my favorite songs by the get up kids.
This just my own feelings of the song, but after watching the video (which by the way, really fits the song well), I believe this song is sung to a former g/f, and he's realizing that he's not gonna let this get him down, no matter what...hence "red letter day"...It just adds up with "I'm not the one who falls down" and "I'm sure YOU get what you deserve". kind of a self "builder-upper"...but anyways, that's just what this means to me! =) Laterz....

even though you were thinking of the wrong video - what you said about the song makes sense.

I'm sorry, I'm such a freakin' retard...I was thinking of the video for action and action! my bad, sorry for whoever reads my comments! UGH!!!! =) I really do mean well.... =)
Hence my name. This song is like my...mantra. A good friend of mine, backstabbed me three times with three different ex`s ive had. Then he told me that he held no remorse when told him that it hurt me. Then said i needed to get over myself. It was a red letter day i learned that he was nothing.
To me, its about a record company. If it's a lie, I don't want to be the one who signed.
ok kristen is just an ass for thinking that i'm sorry, but how could u get a record company out of that song. when it's talking about signing that is signing the letter, not a record deal. geez!
Actually, i think the "If it's a lie, I don't want to be the one who signed" lyric could be taken however you want it. For me, I took it as if the girl lied to him and he doesn't want to be the one who believed it (cause he's not the one who falls down....), not as an actual signing of a record deal or a letter. I dunno, just my thoughts- I love this song.
My favorite GetUp kids song.. ahh.. I think it is about a relationship and the "If it's a lie, I don't want to be the one who signed" could work for it because getting into a relationship is like signing a contract and he is saying if the relationships a lie, he doesnt want to be in it.. maybe? thats just my opinion.
yeah i think this is an awesomesong it really rocks my socks off
