If I could write one letter to the world as we know it
I would list these rhymes that mean everything to me
^I think he's saying, hear me out, if I had only one thing to say to the world we have today, this is what I'd say:
Heartache temporary, Bullets only stop your blood
Pain will live on and on
In everyone, in everyone
^Heartaches ARE only temporary. Eventually, people can find ways to overcome them. Bullets, as in, suicide shooting sort of thing, only stop your life. But in the end, it hurts everyone else, because everyone else wonders what they could have done to cause or prevent this, the loss, etc, hurts. "Pain will live on and on in Everyone."
And we could change, we could change it down
We could change the world, we could strike the chord
We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones
We could re-write history, if only you and me
We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones
And We could change it down
^The chorus, I think, signifies him saying to these people, keep listening to me, it doesn't have to be this way, it won't be this way, if you just hear my words" sort of thing. "We could re-write history" as in, change the destiny or fate we thought we've found for ourselves.
The bottle holds no answers
His lips can only sway
Chemicals imbalance
Who needs them anyway?
^I think this is a reference to either the bottle of alcohol or the bottle of pills, both of which generally impair the chemicals in your brain if overdosed, because most pills people use for suicide are either depressants or painkillers. "Who needs them anyway?" could be the thought of the person who is doing this to themselves, as in, " I don't care anymore what I do to my body I don't need these chemicals to make me normal" kind of idea.
Desire is close at hand
Her lips can only sway
There's more to life than this
Don't give yourself away
^This could be giving away her life, her virginity, who knows, but she's nervous, and he's advising her to stop and think. " Don't give yourself away" don't let them know that this is what you want to be, don't throw your life away... it could have several meanings.
And there's your lovely letter written by Anberlin, the great.
