I think this song is about life in general. Or, more specifically, life after
something bad has happened. Im not really sure which
Some people watch; some people pray,
But even lights can fade away.
Some people hope; some people pay,
But why'd we have to stay?
First they talk about ways people go through life. Some people go through life
with out really living- watching. Some hope and pray but their faith can waiver.
Others try to buy their way through life. Any way you go though it you are still
left with the question "Why are we here?/Why do we have to keep leaving?"
OR These are the ways people deal with tough stuff (the faded light) and "Why
do we have to go though this?"
'Cause even here; we're scared to bruise,
Or any misery you choose.
If there is an afterlife, why be afraid of anythings as temporary as
pain or poverty or whatever you think is "misery".
You like to watch; we like to use,
And we were born to lose.
Again some "watch" life go by but some participate. whatever you do, nobody
"wins" at life. Bad stuff happens. No matter how much good or bad you have,
We all lose in the end.
I choose defeat. I walk away,
And leave this place THE SAME TODAY
Here they are saying they are accepting their defeat, knowing that they cant
always win, before they make the world (or situation) worse.
Some like to sleep; we like to play.
Just look at all that pain.
Some people (the watchers) pretend nothings wrong with the world or they just
try to wait till the pain goes away. They have
accepted the pain in life and found a way to still have fun despite it.
You want the heart and to be saved,
Watchers want to know everything going to be okay again
But even good guys still get paid.
If good guys are being paid, either bad guys are still being bad or the good
guys are just going to stick around to make sure the bad guys dont do anything
So watch my back and keep the blade;
I think it got you laid.
Watch out for each other and dont let down your defence Even if things seem
good. It might pay off?
So fake your death or eat your blame,
Either give up and start a new life (?) or accept what youve done
And leave the lights on when you stay.
Take off your clothes and dream AND THINK
Make your self comfortable (in your life), feel free to dream about tomorrow but
dont forget to think (about what youve done, what youre going to do)
Come on and feel that shame.
Dont be afraid to feel, no matter what feelings youre having.
I choose defeat. I walk away,
And leave this place THE SAME TODAY
Some like to sleep; we like to play.
Just look at all that pain.
Just look at all that pain.
Just look at all that pain.
Just look at all that pain.
Just gimme all that pain.
Just gimme all that pain.
Just gimme all that pain.
Now they are not only acknowledging the pain but offering (demanding) to take
some of it.
I choose defeat. I walk away,
And leave this place THE SAME TODAY
Some like to sleep; we like to play.
Just look at all that pain.
