My first comment on SongMeanings, believe it or not...
One of my favourite songs of my favourite band, Rumors of My Demise is about your dreams, and being daring enough to fulfill them.
Sort of reminds me of a book I had to read for school this year, Fahrenheit 451. Boring as sh*t but it did raise some good issues and discussion.
"So please don't ask me how
I ended up at my wits end and breaking down.
Pages torn from books we've never read
Cuz we're plugged into this grid.
Don't pull this plug right now,
Or then we'd really have to live."
Sick of the closet of his life, but afraid to exit it and follow his dreams. I think that;
"But the door hinges are squeaking, letting in thin shards of light. Now a hand's extending outwards, quiet comfort they invite. Do we dare take what they offer, do we step into the light?"
refers to a glimpse of the life of his dreams (a thin shard of light shining through the door hinges of the closet) and an opportunity, a hand extending outwards to open the closet door.
The closet itself, is the hole/cave/state of security that the guy lives in to hide from his fear of his dreams.
When I die will they remember not,
What I did but what I haven't done.
It's not the end that I fear with each breath,
It's life that scares me to death.
A MESSAGE! Wake up people, look at your lives. Nothing. Change it, think of what you could do, the difference you could make and have the guts to make that difference, even if it means going against what the majority believe. "It's life that scares me to death --- Don't pull this plug right now or we'd really have to live" Again, afraid of completeing his dreams
Truly awesome song!
ps. There's a fair few errors in the lyrics ^
Not too bad for self written lyrics though
pps. The verses/choruses at the start-middle of the song seem uncertain, yet notice how at the end of the song those same words seem afraid but determined, encouraging and daring. Also the end lyrics are in the perfect position to end the album.
