Big Jim's Mistake

Remembering Never

lie awake
things will be better the moment you cant wake up
by the way
when did you realize we're better off without you
you'r lying tongue cant spit filth now
my how the weather changes
hiding your knives behind your back
to strategically place them in mine
when you get home...we are now severed
the glass has been broken for the last time
pulling your tongue til it rips from your face
you've always been ugly but not as nauseating as you look now
i hope you slit your fucking wrists to save me the effort of writing your suicide note
your inspiration world of lies
i see your failure in my eyes
tears burn an open wound
burn away the memories of you
tip toeing to avoid your selfish sob story
after everything we've been through
we've got to crawl...crawl back on our knees
you left with everything you ever wanted
you left us and now you get two thumbs up
you're gettin two thumbs up
you get an F for effort
no more sunday migraines
your eyes will forever sulk with all you've burned down
you think your're so cool now
cause she left you now
and left you crying to yourslef
and i cant help but laugh because you brought this on yourself again
in this clip theres 13 ways to say your're sorry
well there's nothing you can say to repair all the damage you have made
all in all you'll never follow through with it
won't you share your revelations
your're ugly and no one likes you

    this is by far their best damn song! I can listen to this song on repeat forever! This band has really progressed from their demo years. remebering never is truely my favorite band Its about a guy who got dumped by a girlfriend he thinks the only way out of his pain is to kill himslef and his friends get disgusted by him, his thoughts of suicide and, the way he treated his gf. his friends are so pissed at him that they would pretty much love to see him take himslef out but they know he will back out of it (uhh or something like that)

    I think his friends aren't disgusted with him, I think he's disgusted with himself. He's either talking to himself in parts of the songs or it's all directed at his gf. I think his gf must have done something more than dump him, maybe cheat on him.

    uhh, i think its more like a friend may have betryed him or stabbed him in the back, "hiding your knives behind your back to strategically place them in mine" the rest are so hateful i love it "you've always been ugly but not as nauseating as you look now"

    I think it's about some asshole freind of his who's going to "kill himself" cuz his girlfreind left him, and he's saying "I wish you would, but you're too much of a pussy to do it". I love songs like this.

    all i can say is that Remembering Never has the greatest lyrics of any band, ever. They hit home on so many notes... so many thoughts... every emotion i've ever had is spelled out so clearly in their songs. And, in my eyes, this song is about a girl... whether it be just a friend or someone closer, and he's through with everything she's done and is... he wants her out of his life, wait, he NEEDS her out of his life and he feels the only way to do that is for her to die... whether it be by his hands or hers...

    ok this WHOLE ALBUM is about killing his ex-girlfriend. this song is about how he tripped and tried to killhimself for her even though she was a whore with suicidal tendencies. hes talking to himself in the end when he brought it on himself again, and then he speaks to her.
