I remember none of it Taking to my thoughts It's a solid I'll escape Stable for a little bit only to belong But belonging gets so fake I'll slip into another place laying on the lawn Though this time feeling gray I tried to live a better way Tell me where I'm from Settled in my dazefavourite part of war paint.
i just put on this song cuz its my second favorite behind work in progress and this verse is incredible
"I'm So Pathetic" is a top TDS song for me in addition to those two. "Knives" is so dark and heavy and something pretty different from the rest of their stuff
sorry if i dont learn from my losses everyone is dead everyone is dead and i cant think of how we got here
Me too. An album full of those darker, heavier songs like "Work In Progress" and "Knives" would've been stellar. Let the record show that I love GR despite its flaws and I recognize that I'm in the minority.
I took a trip down south and felt the sun on my face, and it made things okay for a second. I drew a picture of my problems when I was going insane. And I focused on the currents. It's the funny thing about it, I never seem to worry that every single current's not the same.
Northern Lights is probably my favorite song of theirs or Of Confidence but on the former the way he sings this part kills me: I took the key bridge north to your parent's house again. I saw my share of lights from the sky outside the city. I brought you things I loved just to show you that I cared. I found a place to lay inside of the warmth. That's the way that I spent these last few days of writing all these songs. I swear to god that I love you, 'cause I can't explain it.
Prolly unpopular opinion, but instead of going grittier on GR, I would've liked to see them go the opposite direction. Even poppier.
Isn't this the song that's like "Oh I'll muster every ounce of confidence I have. And cannonball into the water"?
I helped make the art that hangs on your walls and plays in your heart; it stays in your arms. You're not a machine, I'm sure of that. You're every bit like me. You gave up on your dreams and now you're stuck with that. You settled for the pencil days. I'm a paint brush in a way. I'm simple, yeah, I'm plain. I'm colored all the same. I have meaning if you find it in yourself. I'll sell myself or not, like I really give a fuck I'm just an artist on a shelf.
Interesting topic: What was the defining lyric that cemented the band for you? There are so many one liners that just floored me.
not my defining lyric but this is a goodie. actually the whole song has incredible lyrics You cough up blood, but stand up to anyone, but never do it out of rage. Just build your home and surround it with everyone who always seem to feel your pain. When I'm finally at my doubts, I take a look at my friends. Don't make a ceiling inside your clouds, just let them grow with your plans. That's the way it ought to stay.
