Here is my interpretation of one of my favorites of Anthony's acoustic songs.
"I know you spent your money to see
What you hear on cd
This isn’t just a waste of time, addictions made me smarter but u can’t be high all the time"
The first line of this song basically says that he is sorry that he doesn't perform exactly what he played on cd's live because of his addictions. It also expresses the fact that he wants to break away from his addictions.
"They say what doesn’t kill the soul will make it harder but you can’t be a stone hearted man
And do you realize why you apologize, well it’s not your fault, cause were all fucked up.
And do you really think that it’s worth it, to be all worried about time"
His addictions have made him a bigger and stronger person, but he can't become a jerk because of his recovery and have no emotions. He then says that everyone is a bit messed up and that there is no reason to apologize for being human and making mistakes. If you spend your whole life apologizing for the past and for mistakes, then you will lose track of time and life will pass you by.
"Cause I know what you want, its not going to get you anywhere
I know you spent your money to see what you love on cd"
Like stated earlier, if they want to keep apologizing for their mistakes life will pass them by and the won't get anywhere.
"They say what doesn’t kill your soul will make it stronger but you can’t be a stone hearted man
This isn’t just a waste of time, addictions made me smarter but you can’t get stoned all of the time"
Like stated earlier, what mistakes you've made make you stronger, but they shouldn't leave you feeling void of emotion and stone hearted. It also (like stated earlier) talks about him pulling away from his addictions.
"Do you realize why you apologize, well its not your fault, cause were all fucked up
And do you really think that it’s worth it, to be all worried about time, worried about time….no
But don’t worry don’t
Don’t worry don’t cause I know"
Like stated earlier, If you spend your whole life apologizing for the past and for mistakes, then you will lose track of time and life will pass you by. He asks the person, "Is it really worth losing a track of your life over worrying? Don't worry".
"Cause I know what you want, and its not going to get you anywhere
But you need to be, but you need to be free
be free
be free
but you need to be free"
Anthony is basically saying that the person he is talking to has worries that aren't going to let them get anywhere, and if they let them be free, they will go places. The worries could be a metaphor for Anthony's own addictions, and how by letting go of them he can be free and not worry about wasting his life away.
P.S. Moshtradamus isn't his "new band" in a permanent sense, he and the rest of Circa Survive are very much active. He has stated on many occasions that he did this to release personal songs and that Circa is his main focus.
