Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Brendan Canning, Kevin Drew, Sam Goldberg, John Cameron Mcentire, Justin Peroff, James Shaw, Charles Ivan Spearin, David Andrew Whiteman

I thought you were the sweetest kill
Did I even know?
And all the time we thought we did
Was it just for show?

If they try to pull you out
Would you even go?
I thought you were the sweetest kill
Did you even know?

I held your hand until the light
The scars were on the back
And all the time we were the right
Was it just retract?

And they can try to put you down, wear you out
Get you through the idea of the luck
I thought you were the sweetest kill
Did we even know?

All the time, we get by, tryna figure out our lives
Like a fade out
All the time, we get by, tryna figure out our lives
Like a fade out

When we took the level ten
Was it just a twelve?
And when we went to where we've been
Was it just for self?

And they can try to wear you down, put you out
Get you through your will that won't work
I thought you were the sweetest kill
Could I even know?

All the time, we get by, tryna figure out our lives
Like a fade out
All the time, we get by, tryna figure out our lives
Like a fade out

All the time, we get by, tryna figure out our lives
Like a fade out
All the time, we get by, tryna figure out our lives
Like a fade out

I break you through this world
I break you through this world
Let me break you through this world
Can I break you through this world?

    Oh man...This song is blowing me away right. The fact that I'm high probably has something to do with it. But it's just so hypnotizing. The meaning of this song eludes me, but yet I still feel like I understand somehow. My guess is that the overall theme is that we tend not to actually live our lives, but rather see our life as we want it to. Almost as though we are viewing it at a distance, as an observer of ourselves in the life we've constructed. The truth is that we are what we tend to only observe. We can't stand back from ourselves, we live all our 5 senses everyday.

    We spend so much time worrying about our purpose, we miss out on that purpose as it is right before our eyes - "like a fade out" - this shows that our lives fade away when we waste time worrying about what they mean.

    Could be wrong...but it's worth a try.

    Such a beautiful piece :)
