i want to hear people's opinions on this song. i really like it, but i know some of you just might think of it as offensive and not very good. so post it. i'd really love to hear opinions on the lyrics. and i don't want posts like, "cool song" or whatever...i really want to know what you think of the lyrics.

It takes more time than I've ever had,
Drains the life from me,
Makes me want to forget,
As young as I was,
I felt older back then,
More disciplined,
Stronger and certain,

But I was scared to death of eternity,
I was saved by grace,
But destroyed by naivety,
And I lied to myself,
And said it was for the best,

And now faith is replaced with a logic so cold
I've disregarded what I was,
Now that I'm older,
And I know much more than I did back then,
But the more I learn,
The more I can't understand,

And I've become content with this life that I lead,
Where I drink to much and don't believe in much of anything,
And I lie to myself,
And say it's for the best,

We're moving forward,
But holding ourselves back,
And we're waiting on something that will never come,

i like the song i love the band to such an amazeing band

I'm with him. I love that song. It's actually my favourite on the cd. I feel like it's pretty much me. Especially this part:

"And I've become content with this life that I lead,
Where I drink to much and don't believe in much of anything,
And I lie to myself,
And say it's for the best"

I love the song. Whether it's overtly negative or depressing or not. Whatever - that's life.

well if its saying that we're waiting on something that'll never come, meaning God, then no, but if its talking about waiting on understanding then thats cool. but if its talking about god, then i don't agree with it

I'm with him. I love that song. It's actually my favourite on the cd. I feel like it's pretty much me. Especially this part:

"And I've become content with this life that I lead,
Where I drink to much and don't believe in much of anything,
And I lie to myself,
And say it's for the best"

I love the song. Whether it's overtly negative or depressing or not. Whatever - that's life.
totaly agree its life stuff happens

yeah this song totally describes my life too...i look back and remember how much i loved God and convinced myself that life would get better with god, then just gave up and i don't really believe in anything anymore. i just don't care either...so yeah i think this song is totally wild. it's super written too...my fav line is:

"i was saved by grace, but destroyed by naivety"

if we're gonna do "explains my life" then how about this part of "This is a call" by TFK

"She's calling out to you
This is a call, this is a call out
Cause everytime I fall down, I reach out to you
And I'm losing all control now
And my hazard signs are all out
I'm asking you to show me what this life is all about

And he tells everyone a story,
Cause he thinks his life is boring
And he fights so you won't ignore him,
Cause that's his biggest fear
And he cries, but you'll rarely see him do it
And he loves but he's scared to use it
So he hides behind the music
Cause he likes it that way
And he knows, he's so much more than worthless
He needs to find the surface
Cause he's starting to get nervous "

that and (sorry this is so long) "Behind Blue Eyes" originally by The Who, redone by LIMPBizkit

"No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
And no one knows
What it's like to be hated
To be fated to telling only lies

[Chorus:]
But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like i do, and i blame you!
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

[Chorus]

No one knows what its like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
No one knows how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling lies

[Chorus]

No one knows what its like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes."

welcome to my life. and thats only two songs...

yeah this song totally describes my life too...i look back and remember how much i loved God and convinced myself that life would get better with god, then just gave up and i don't really believe in anything anymore. i just don't care either...
Yeah, basically.

tfk sucks this is about straylight run not tfk

ooh that was harsh. totally awesome, but harsh.

if we're gonna do "explains my life" then how about this part of "This is a call" by TFK
this thread isn't. tho we could start a "this song explains my life" thread or a "what do you think of these lyrics" thread. but this is not that.
