================================================ Subject: sometimes it talks ... Other times .. Lyrics obvious? From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Sun 9 Dec 2001 19:34:40 -0500 ================================================ Since there weren't too many tries at what the lyrics mean to each other. I figured I'd try the song I lie awake on a long, dark night,I can't seem to tame my mind (Restless at night.Mind active with thoughts) Slings and arrows are killing me inside ( The effects of the thoughts are upsetting him) Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine, No I can't accept the life that's mine (From once supposing that he couldn.t deal with the new lifestyle. He has now become sure that the new life is not for him) Simple living is my desperate cry (He wants back the simple life) Been trading love with indifference (What was once a passion is now just a thing) yeah it suits me just fine, I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone ( xxxx it) Maybe that's why I feel alone, Maybe that's why I feel so alone ( The sacrifice is not as pleasing as the rewards) Me...I'm rusted and weathered, Barely holding together (This is tearing me apart) I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal The sun shines and I can't avoid the light, I think I'm holding on to life too tight, Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, Sometimes I feel like giving up,Sometimes I feel like giving up (A cry of desperation) Me...I'm rusted and weathered, Barely holding together I'm covered with skin that peels,and it just won't heal The day reminds me of you, The night hides your truth (This strikes me as a reference between good and evil) The earth is a voice, Speaking to you (I like this line. It makes me think about the connection of man to nature and science) Take all this pride, And leave it behind Because one day it ends,One day we die (A philosophy of religious man and a truth of nature) Believe what you will, That is your right, But I choose to win So I choose to fight, To fight (So do I, but in a different direction. With different beliefs) Written by Tremonti/Stapp Published by Tremonti/Stapp Music (Adm. by Dwight Frye Music, Inc.)/Dwight Frye Music, Inc.
