Just know
We are
A spec
In time.
So follow your bliss
And destroy the beauty
I'll lock myself alone in a room
Drink until the clock strikes noon
With just a pen, a pill, and some paper
And maybe I will write a sad song
Or another cliche poem
Of the person that I long to be
I want to die like Jim Morrison
A fucking rock star
I want to die like god on the cover of time.
Just a blink and it's gone
So baby pour some fame in my glass.
So kill the forest
And destroy the beauty.
I'll lock myself alone in a room
Drink until the clock strikes noon
With just a pen, a pill, and some paper
And maybe I will write a sad song
Or another cliche poem
Of the person that I long to be
(Colors blind)
the eyes
(Sounds deafen)
the ear
(Flavors numb)
the taste
(Thoughts weaken)
the mind
I'll attack someone with a switchblade knife
So that I can see their pain
I choose to be a serial killer
'Cause the victims don't get any fame.
I'll lock myself alone in a room
Drink until the clock strikes noon
With just a pen, a pill, and some paper
And maybe I will write a sad song
Or another cliche poem
Of the person that I long to be
Just know we are a spec in time
We are
A spec
In time.
So follow your bliss
And destroy the beauty
I'll lock myself alone in a room
Drink until the clock strikes noon
With just a pen, a pill, and some paper
And maybe I will write a sad song
Or another cliche poem
Of the person that I long to be
I want to die like Jim Morrison
A fucking rock star
I want to die like god on the cover of time.
Just a blink and it's gone
So baby pour some fame in my glass.
So kill the forest
And destroy the beauty.
I'll lock myself alone in a room
Drink until the clock strikes noon
With just a pen, a pill, and some paper
And maybe I will write a sad song
Or another cliche poem
Of the person that I long to be
(Colors blind)

With just a pen, a pill, and some paper
And maybe I will write a sad song

Just know we are a spec in time

songs about wanting fame, and maybe how fame kills??... shot in the dark
his screaming in this song, amazing!
"I'll attack someone with a switchblade
So that I can see their pain
I choose to be a serial killer
Cause the victims don't get any fame"
my favorite part in the song, although the lyrics are sick nd perverse lol but thats what i love about them :)
well u died the day u were born on.
considence? nope.
irony.
this song is about the irony of being famous if he wants to kill r mayb b killed. fame is like a disease it weakens ur thoughts n make u lose judgement.
**btw i love the ending wen like all three voices r singing different verses. one is screaming, the other one is sigining the chous, n the other one is singins somethign else.
" i lock myself alone in a room
drink untill the clock strikes noon
with just a pen, a pill, and some paper..."
i can really identify with these lyrics because sadly that is the way i write most of my poetry. pop some vicoden. grab a bottle of vodka. and baracade my self in my room. and it works everytime. but the doctor wont give me anymore vicoden. haha o well. ill just find another doctor.
as for the meaning. i think hes talking about how everyone is judging what he writes. he cant write with all the pressure. so he locks his self away and takes stuff to ease the anxiety. and that its not easy being famous. some people cant handle it and do crazy(yet awesome)shit. like "attack someone with a switchblade knife.." haha.(i love death, serial killers,etc)
i think that at the part of the song that goes
"I'll attack someone with a switchblade
So that I can see their pain
I choose to be a serial killer
Cause the victims don't get any fame"
i think it is showing that scince he cant get fame in a jim morrison way he's decided to go for infamy insted
That's not word for word, and I probably butchered the explanation, but yeah. You get the picture.
I personally think that the song is talking about how much he wants to be known *fame*.
