Lived through you,
safe with how we lived our lives,
with how it all turned out.
(But things are bound to change)
Uncovered lies, surfaced throughout,
will make you change your mind

Sometimes life is altered
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right

When I see you, I can read it in your eyes,
fate misunderstood.
(But things are bound to change)
Swallowed the lies, can't blame you for,
thinking with your heart.

Sometimes life is altered.
Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
Uneasy with confrontation.
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right

I see my world crumble and fall, before my eyes
I know, I know.
Dark will turn to light, in time I'll be alright
I know, I know
(I never imagined my life could turn out this way
So cold so black so alone)

Living goes by fast, catch your breath
and it will pass you by.
And it won't last, to sulk with the memories you hold.

Sometimes life is altered.
Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
Uneasy with confrontation.
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right.

    General Comment:The best part about this song is definitely the very end where it all winds down. It kinda ties up the "And All Things Will End" type of thing. They keep playing till the final note and everything. Just think it's an appropriate way to end the song.

    General Comment:What goes around, comes around. This person has moved away from their old life, got a fresh start, but the lies and the problems followed him/her. This person lives their life through someone else proabably a child or partner. The person this is sung to grew up believing the lies that have been told as they believe anything told due to love.
    The singer is fighting the past, hoping that soon they will be permanently free.

    You can interpret it so differently, it seems like it could mean something different to each person.

    General Comment:This is my favourite a7x song ever. Liked it forever. I like how it has every element of a7x. Has the cleann vocals, has the screaming. Has the fast tempo then it slows down it's just awesome.

    General Comment:I agree with mo money, also "When I see you, I can read it in your eyes,
    fate misunderstood." its saying that you had a fate, such as something important, and that it misunderstood your personality and you just wasted your life. LIVE YOUR LIFE, once you decide to, it may be too late and you will have NOTHING

    General Comment:"slim shadey" should probably listen to the song.

    i think that this song means that we should break out of our "destiny" and make our own fate.lives too short.live it to the fullest no matter what the cost.

    General Comment:Dude, I never really listened to the lyrics, but all I know is that the ending of this song is awesome!

    A friend of mine showed it to me a few years ago and I though the way it progressively slowed down was cool, but I forgot the name and couldn't find it.


    And then a few months ago I bought Waking The Fallen and of course, found it lol :)

    General Comment:Uh.. Only the songs in Sounding the Seventh Trumpet were directed towards certain people.

    This song is in no way optimistic, it's just the rhythm what makes you think so.

    A7xskier, you're an idiot. If a song is pessimistic, it doesn't mean it's emo. This song is just like Clairvoyant Disease and a little like The Art of Subconscious Illusion in lyrics.

    Synyster39, you're lying to yourself.
