The Truth Behind The Smile by Fighting The Influence

This is an amazing song by a local band from Fall River MA. They're becoming pretty famous now and Ive seen them live twice and met them all. This song has some eye opening lyrics so... here they are!


It’s a quiet town tonight, as her world breaks apart
And outside everyone sees the beauty they want to see
On her arms are all the memories,
of all her failed attempts, failed attempts to fly
She comes to peace with the lies that declare
she is not worth our time

Everyone judges but no one fixes, everyone stares but no one cares
When did we become so blind? Why do we cast her aside?
When will we open our eyes? How did we become so blind?

To the world everything is all right,
but only her mirror knows how much she dies.
From far away we glance, now she has no chance
So afraid of our judgmental eyes, she hides away in a picture perfect smile
She quietly slips out to fade away in our minds
We must be crazy (to ignore her tears)
We must be deaf (to the sound of her pleas)
Or are we just dead to the world outside?

We stopped building bridges to strengthen our walls
We look so strong but inside we are alone
But you’re not alone

Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape by UnderOATH

Please pay close attention to these lyrics. This song is called Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape by UnderOATH.

I heard a voice through the discord
A deluge of passersby
I saw one gaze frozen in time
Watching me passing by
And I swear I'll know your face in the crowd
And I'll hear your voice so loud
When you're whispering
Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger, to be stronger
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another.
Here's my kiss to betray (Kiss to betray)
Desperate to brush the lips of grace (Brush the lips of grace)
Do you feel hollow when you think of how I lied?
Oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me
Oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me
Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger, to be stronger
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another
Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger, to be stronger
Hey unloving
I will love you
I will love you
I will love you
And Jesus I'm ready to come home
Jesus, I'm ready to come home(home)
home (home)
I'm ready to come (home)
Hey Unfaithful
Hey UngracefulHey Unloving
I will love you
Hey Unloving (Hey Unloving)
I will love you

Answer to lyric test 2#

Well I'm on a limited time schedule right now... But ill tell you about the lyrics to Lyric Test 2#. The song was Writing On The Walls by UnderOATH. The song is about how evil the world is how we blend in so much sometimes. He say "We'll speak of what a waste I am," meaning exactly what it says.
He says "I swear we need to find some comfort in this run down place. " Meaning... We need to find something good in something so bad. Then he says " How come you try, and fit the shape of what they tell you?" Meaning why do we compromise and do what the world wants us to do? I really have to go now... But you can figure out the rest by yourself. Ill be posting new lyrics soon. Thanks and God Bless!

Answer to lyric test #1

Ok here is what the lyrics in Lyric Interpretation Test #1 were about.
The song was In Hand, Our Fire by Zap Em Dead Bartholomew and the singer is singing about a relationship where the person he was dating stopped having feelings for him and was cheating on him with someone else. He says "I watched you forget me and dream of the north" meaning he saw he was being forgotten for better things... or a better person. Then he says "I drove you to the hospital, and walked myself back home" meaning that he helped this person and did something that healed them in one way or another and they paid no attention to him and just forgot him.
He says " I finally figured out, the letters you both always wrote". Here he is referring to his girlfriend and her new lover. Then he says "Ill keep my distance from every thought I have about you forgetting me and never coming home. " That part kind of speaks for itself saying that he doesn't want to think about her leaving him. Then in the chorus he says "The thought that this was all in the wrong direction." Meaning that he never really saw how bad their relationship was. Then in verse 2 he says "Lacing your fingers with a liar's." Meaning hes holding hands with this girl, knowing that shes a cheater. And he says "Still unaware that ill be coming home tonight." This might mean that he walked in on them together. And then he says "Beneath the colors, you look brilliant" which is just telling her how beautiful she is. Then the final part he says "oh my god I've become the one that leaves. Brave just this last one. Will i be seeing you again? Tell me softly" Meaning that finally he knew he had to leave her, so he did. And hes wondering if she will come back to him.

Well there it is. An absolutely AMAZING song by probably my all-time favorite band. Somewhat sad and depressing meaning... but everyone needs to face the truth in their lives.
