Great song, I'm the first to post on it yay!!

Probably one of the more straightforward songs, so i'll justdo a quick analysis :

First off, As black and white, pertains to correct or incorrect, grey is a combination of both, and hence generates uncertainty.

Topic in mind: In my opinion: Uncertain about the band/career

The world, is often refered to as 'it', as is his "carrer"

"Grey skies clouding up the things we used to see with wide eyes Maybe everything was meant to be this way Will it ever change But are we stuck here on our own" Grey skies foreshadow's an uncertain future, one that they used to see with wide eyes, or clearly Maybe everything was meant to be this way - the use of maybe also shows uncertainty, as does the question, "will it ever change, are we stuck here on our own?"

It's all gone grey; his carrer has become uncertain

"I found telling you the truth the hardest thing to get out I know it wasn't you that made me feel this way Will it ever change Or are we stuck here on our own." Telling anyone who he cares about is hard, because he doesnt know his own path, that person never made him feel so lost, and he brings up the question again to emphasize his uncertainty

Give it one more try; his carrer in LA I dont know if i would stay, In LA I feel so much better now, hes gotten away Baby begging me, his carrer, when it was young was a 'baby' and it begs him to stay because its where they got their success Will leave you so empty inside, everything in LA is superficial anwayys, no point in staying; so dont even try to stay

"I know every last regret inside of me is my own The way I hold them close has made me be this way I will never change I know I'm stuck here on my own, on my own"

Everything that hes done, and has come to regret he knows is his own fault, and his concern with it has led him to become unstable for the lack of a better word.

He realises that he will never change, unless he leaves, hence if he stays, he is , "stuck here on his own"

I dont know if i would stay - same as above i feel so much better now - after hes gone away Where did we go wrong?- Why are these emotions evoked I know you still hold on to me - his career still holds on partially to where it started But it's time that you let go- about time he left LA I gave you things i had, that i could not get back again

  • Everything hes done for it, all the time, hardwork, he cant get back, but it still isnt worth stayin

Hence, his carrer is uncertain, and "its all gone grey"...

arty.
