It's a night of many frightening things to take in
It's not the way we please ourselves or our friends
It's what we won't accept
It's what will scare us now
Is ourselves, it's ourselves

So tonight as I walk
The moon makes faces at the trees
It's so nice to make fun of everything that I lost,
and I miss, and I love but never had

Tonight I'm gonna take a test to grow up
So I'm sorry for the things I've done to everyone
It's not your face I can't tell
But I try to be this way
It's my own

So tonight as I walk
The moon makes faces at the trees
It's so nice to make fun of everything that I lost,
and I miss, and I love but never had

It's what I can't accept
It's what I can't accept
It is what I can't accept

So tonight as I walk
The moon makes faces at the trees
It's so nice to make fun of everything that I lost,
and I miss, and I love but never had

I'm so happy I could...
do do dodo
do do dodo
do do dodo
do do dodo
do do dodo
do do dodo
do do dodo
do do do do

    General Comment:WOW. No comments all year on this amazing song. This is probably the best song Ace will ever write. It's incredible. And I think a lot of you guys have the meaning of it right

    General Comment:it most likely isnt the actually meaning of the song, but my interpretation is that he is reflecting on the type of person he once was and realizing that he was the only person to blame ("It's what will scare us now. Is ourselves, it's ourselves"). He's repenting and wanting to change for the better so that he wont hurt himself or others around him. or even more, pay a tribute to those he has already hurt

    General Comment:I think it's just about accepting change in life and just going with the flow.. smiling when crap things come your way and just making fun of everything that makes you feel down and coping with what you've got.

    After all, we're only here for a short while and we need to make the most of it. :)

    General Comment:i don't think it's about his ex-girlfriend either.
    his whole idea of creating "i can make a mes.." was to start completely new. he even said “I wanted to go back to the time when music was the only thing that mattered, not all of the other messy things that come with it” on his website.
    i don't think that holding on to ex-girlfriends is starting new. so, yeah

    General Comment:I don't have the CD yet, I'm getting it for Christmas, but I know the song isn't about his ex-girlfriend. I'm pretty sure that there isn't much on the CD about girls.

    General Comment:do you think this might be about his ex-girlfriend? i mean most of The Room's Too Cold was about her...
    "It's so nice to make fun of everything that I lost,
    and I miss, and I love but never had
    It's what I can't accept "

    that might be about her
