TEST #2

Well this is song #2 in my testing of lyrical interpretation abilities. Its called Writing On The Walls by UnderOATH:

Maybe we, why don't we
Sit right here for half an hour
We'll speak of what a waste I am
And how we missed your beat again.
I swear we need to find some comfort in this run down place
To bridge the gap of this conscious state that we live in
And I'm short on time
How come you try
(that brings us home)
to fit the shape of
(and I pray for)
What they tell you
(You to move on, move on)
but mostly what they show you
At this rate we can't keep up I'm taking back all the things I've said
I'm taking back all the things I've said
But I sure can't just sit still
Keep me filled in and i swear I'll come
We walk alone We walk alone
We walk alone We walk alone
We walk alone We walk alone
Back home Alone, Back home
You're almost gone and I'm okay
I still see your shadow
To give you time to be afraid
But never your face again I remember your presence
I hope to God you come down
I hope to God you feel this now
I hope to God you come down I hope to...God
I know there must be some way out of here
And all of them will be waiting there.

TEST!!!!!!

I'm going to be testing you guyses interpretation skills! So here are a few songs and you have to see if you can interpret them and tell me what they mean. Just to mix things up a bit. Ok so heres the first one by Zap Em Dead Bartholomew called In Hand Our Fire:

While you were sleeping I watched this come down

I watched you forget me and dream of north

We aren’t talking of the things we thought we figured out

It’s all to quiet from the things we’ve said

I drove you to the hospital and walked myself back home

I finally figured out the letters you both always wrote

And I’ll keep my distance from every thought I have

About you forgetting me and never coming home

Swallow down your sense of pride

They’re grinning at my insides

The thought that this was all the wrong direction

Tell me softly

Will I be seeing you again

A breath and she wakes

These were meant for you

Tell me softly

Lay here stable

Lacing your fingers with a liar’s and still unaware

I’ll be coming home tonight where beneath the colors

You look brilliant

Hallelujah, for the swells of your chest

Hallelujah

Oh my God I’ve become the one that leaves

Brave just this last one

Will I be seeing you again

Tell me softly

Getting Over You Getting Over Me by Kids In The Way

This song is called Getting Over You Getting Over Me by Kids In The Way.

This is me getting over you, getting over me
The line is breaking, the sun is sinking
There's nothing I can do to get back to you
There's nothing I can say
As the stars lead the way
To a place where memories die
Here lies a desperate heart
Covered in scars and broken parts
Never knowing what it's fighting for
Only knowing that it's love is sure
The line is breaking, the sun is sinking
There's nothing I can do to get back to you
Blood lines the leaves
Leads the way for my feet
To a place where memories die
We had a love like Johnny and June
I felt alive, I would have died for you
The gallows on the hill cast a shadow for two
As me and my love hang alone at high noon
So this is me getting over you, getting over me

Computer Says No by Zap Em Dead Bartholomew

Would you have me Father
Oh so clever a reconstruction?
Hey kid
You’re a machine
Open your eyes and tell me how does it feel?
Trace your fingers over mine
I thought to feel it
Regardless
I think I’ve found you out
Yeah… I’ve got you figured out
Chanting these prayers lacking inspiration
Trust me for this little bit to remember the feel of things
Come to me
Please remember the way you came
Carry this weary form through
Your eyes are empty lights
I once possessed them
Child of stone, your bonds are broken
I have lost you to such a thing as this
Take me to the edge still
Where I will wait for you
I’ve been writing you for quite some now
And I’ve forgotten so much
I will wait for you

Redemption by August Burns Red.

This song is called Redemption by August Burns Red. This song is for anyone who thinks hardcore music cant be christian.

I trust in you for life to live, and air to breath.
Purity fills my lungs.
I no longer live in solitude.
No longer bound.
My heart beats with great devotion.
This is the start to a new beginning.
On my knees praying for mercy.
Hands raised high, humble and broken.
Wanting your grace. Wanting your security.
Memories of laying facedown, motionless, with such a hollow feeling inside.
Soon I would end this life I was living.
I am just a man with a heart and sinful hands.
I am a fallen victim. Lord, show me the way.
I ask of you Father, let my words be your words.
Let my thoughts be your thoughts.
To you, I give my praise.
Show me the way. Take me in your arms. Never let me go.
Lord, show me the way, as I give myself to you.
Never let me go.
Hold me with your everlasting love.
Be my strength. Be my voice. Be my glory. Set me free
