  • So you think there's no meaning
    In anything that we do?
    Maybe it's the silence
    Maybe it's the war

    Try to understand it
    Try your best to understand the world
    You're bleeding down the highway
    You just want to listen to the roar

    Well, you called him a liar
    And you called him a piece of dirt
    Never can you take it back and
    Never can you make it right

    In the final second
    I think he knew everything you are
    A plague on the horizon
    In the cold arena where you're

    Trapped
    In the moment you met
    In the lifetime I'm there
    But she still doesn't love you
    But you didn't know why
    You can take it from there
    There's a light in your eyes
    That's the thing you would always say
    That it is no worse

    And they called you a witness
    And they called you the next-of-kin
    Maybe you don't hear their questions
    Or you don't want to take it in

    No one saw it coming
    Nobody could see the underside
    He was straighter than an arrow
    Pointed at a target in his mind

    And his bow was his anger
    But his blade was this cursed time
    He didn't want to be your prisoner
    Anymore than you'd be mine

    Try to know the difference
    Sleep until your feelings lift away
    I'll be waiting for you
    A reservoir between us, as you're

    Trapped
    In the moment you met
    In the lifetime I'm there
    But she still doesn't love you
    But you didn't know why
    You can take it from there
    There's a light in your eyes
    That's the thing you would always say
    That it is no worse

    Yes
    It's the back of your mind
    It's the heart of a gun
    It's the thought that you might have done it
    But you can't know why
    Don't you waste any love
    There's a truth in the blood
    There's a thing he was always saying
    That it is no worse Writer/s: ALEX ROBERTSHAW, JEREMY PRITCHARD, JONATHAN HIGGS, MICHAEL SPEARMAN

  • AnonymousAy the band actually admitted this is not what the song is about. It’s more broad, sure you can interpret it however you want, but the only proof/reason this interpretation is peddled is because of one article.
