My favourite ETF lyrics and why.

[arteK]

This does not include their new album "This war is ours" simply because I don't like it, I don't want to debate why I don't like it, I just don't and I don't want to go into details of the reasons why.

The meanings behind the lyrics may not be correct but that's how I come to understand them so please do correct me If I'm wrong.

Favourite Lyrics due to their meaning:

The webs we weave:

"I'm walking on an edge
That's how I stay alive
I need a fix now
The pills I have to take
It helps me live a lie
and blinds all my mistakes"

Simply brilliant, honest and the truth.

Reverse this curse:

"I live to fast, and I know I will lose her,
But there is an option, to die is to live in her head."

He seems to be rushing the relationship and is afraid of losing her because of it, he believes dying is the only way he will be remembered by her forever.

*One of my favourites* There's no sympathy for the dead:

"Oh my god, I have the remedy for love
I struck the glass and broke the bones inside my fist, but I'm okay "

Love can sometimes be very painful so his remedy is to punch something, in this case glass (glass can vary in strengh) which shattered the bones inside his fist which took his mind of his love problems because he is now distracted by the pain in his hand.

Friends and alibis:

"Oh, I hate to be the one to bear the bad news
Yes, it is true
I finally fell in love
I fell so hard that I'm killing myself
Yes, I need out
Out of this grave that I've dug"

Kind of obvious but he's fallen in love with someone so hard that it's driving him crazy because he is thinking of them 24/7 and becomming emotional.

*One of my favourites*Not good enough for truth in cliche

"How does it feel when tears freeze,
When you cry?
The blood in your veins is twenty below."

Basically saying that someone is very cold hearted to the point where their tears freeze when they cry.

The day I left the womb

*All lyrics*

Quite an emmotional song, read it and you will understand. (Not that you haven't heard it before ofc...)

The ransom:

"Sending shivers right down your spine,
it's something that you're prone to, so divine.
You were better at lies,
I was never surprised at the way that it felt.
Now feel the blade, I was always insane.
But you're the one that needs help."

- Simply brilliant.

As you're falling down:

"As you're falling down (falling down)
As you're falling down,
my heart beats the same. (beats the same)
And the tears now (tears now)
And the tears now,
run down your face."

Basically as he is pushing someone a way, his heart beats the same as if he doesn't care, the person he is pushing away is upset with tears running down her face, also brilliant.

That's all I had time for, for now.

I love that quote.

[thisWARisours]

I really like this thread and your lyrics, we should all pick out lyrics that we think are meaningful!

Quote:You're the strength i need to fight,
You're the reason i still try.
I'm the moth and you're the light.
Use these wings so i can fly,
I can fly.

I love the moth and light comparison, because moths are just naturally attracted to lights .

[arteK]

That is pretty cool XD

[escapechics]

cellar door is my favorite song,i guess.

"your hands on picture frames". (L)

[StevenSegaul]

"Reverse This Curse":

Quote:Last night I had the weirdest dream,
That you and I drove off the darkest streets,
Passing through these city lights,
Closure for the kids that died.

"The Structure Falls":

Quote:I knew a liar that blinded my eyes.
Covered them with ribbons.
A soul trying so hard to escape.
But my flesh always gives in.
I knew, a liar that blinded my eyes.

"The Ransom":

Quote:I talked to you today, I heard the tremble of your voice.
Cradle the fall, I know you'll never change.
So please, just hold on.
I know it's hard for you, it's hard to understand betrayal within.
There's a fine line between betrayal and your friends.
So tell me how you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs.

"Harder Than You Know":

Quote:How can I miss you, if you never would stay?
If you need time, I guess I'll Go Away (I'll Go Away).
Inside me now there's only heartache and pain.
So ends the fire, you've become the rain.

"When I Go Out, I Want to Go Out on a Chariot of Fire":

Quote:So keep my casket closed,
Your heart beats under the floor,
It haunts me in my dreams,
But nothing's as it seems

that song is epic, Dying is your Latest Fashion in general is way too meaningful, that's why that cd always will be the best from them.

i lovethe song Not good enough for truth in cliche its my favorite song and from what i can comprehend from the song and video is that his girlfriend dumped him and he can't find another reason to live or that he got in a fight with his girlfriend and he killed her then he killed him self because of it kind of like a referse romeo and juliet

[BluEyedFire]

I love to enjoy the songs and their meanings, but it always feels awkward when you put your own interpretation out there, doesn't it?

[xxescapefatexx]

i love
-the flood
-this war is ours
- let it go
-you are so beautiful
-something
but my faves are
not good enough and when i go out i think beacuse of the lyrics and that ronnie sings them
all so the Guillotine is like my fave

[xETFRocksx]

I love all of ETF's songs and lyrics but "Not Good Enough For The Truth In Cliche" is my favorite

I love the first verse in that song

"Hurtful words from my enemys in the last five years. What's it like to die alone? How does it feel when tears freeze when you cry? The blood in your veins is 20 below..."

[CRAZY4MUSICandPURPLE]

"Harder Than You Know":

Quote:How can I miss you, if you never would stay?
If you need time, I guess I'll Go Away (I'll Go Away).
Inside me now there's only heartache and pain.
So ends the fire, you've become the rain.

i love this song it reninds me of someone.

i'm with you i love all of their songs. but i do have my favorites

[russianroulette23]

"Sitting in this room playing Russian roulette,
Finger on the trigger to my dear Juliet,
Out from the window see her back drop silhouette,
This blood on my hands is something I cannot forget,

Something I cannot forget."

This reminds me of Romeo And Juliet <obviously> But the line "Sitting in this room playing Russian roulette, finger on the trigger to my dear Juliet." The narrarator is thinking about suicide so he can be with his dear Juliet.

That's all I got.

[XxThis-War-Is-OursxX]

"How does it feel when tears freeze,
When you cry?
The blood in your veins is twenty below."

I love this song so much! It has so much meaning and when you listen to it if your sad it either makes you feel better or you just might love the song to death like I do!

[jump]

From The Day I Left the Womb:
'If you see Mother, tell her I can sing.'
That line always gets me.
Amazing song.
