Forced, we forced feeding you lines, feeding you.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.
I know what it feels like
giving into something you don't understand
Forced, we forced feeding you lines, feeding you.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.
Walk into the light,
giving into something you don't understand.
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before...
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before impact.
Calcium waste, glitter and falling like icicles.
Calcium waste, glitter and falling like icicles.
Guess who's next?
You're just as guilty as them.
Forced, we forced feeding you lines, feeding you.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before...
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before impact.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.
I know what it feels like
giving into something you don't understand
Forced, we forced feeding you lines, feeding you.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.
Walk into the light,
giving into something you don't understand.
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before...
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before impact.
Calcium waste, glitter and falling like icicles.
Calcium waste, glitter and falling like icicles.
Guess who's next?
You're just as guilty as them.
Forced, we forced feeding you lines, feeding you.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before...
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before impact.

also: the girl doesnt want to jump, shes too high, its gonna suck, but the building is burning, she has to, or she will die.. this is how people feel when they are doing coke.. they hate coming down from it, all they can do is more of it, but at some point, you have to come down. you cannot just keep doing it, you will die.
Forced, we forced feeding you lines, feeding you. - this has to do with maybe the news and the media telling terrorists what to say, or even just the anchors of the news stations what to say about it.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.- Look how high [I'M] Jumping from, [YOU]'ll never make it. this is a very interesting line, I don't know I could say anything about it right now though.
I know what it feels like
giving into something you don't understand- giving into the new policies of the government because of something that they let happen. They are now containing people who ever make any kind of threat, even if it is minimal or just as a joke. (Someone got 90 days in prison for saying they'd assassanate obama even though it was a joke recently. )
Walk into the light, Almost like a request to someone who has done something wrong, or is accused.
giving into something you don't understand. again with the government or any kind of weird thing going on
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before...
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before impact. Definitely has to do with jumping from our levels of trust and security and completely guarding ourselves in.
Ok, I have to conclude that I don't know what it's about, but the title has to do with a height, and the jump and the fact that it's either cold up there, or someone is completely stressed out or something. OHHHH The glorious revolution, the glorious nosebleed. it has to do with a revolution, which the government probably set out to do against the people. ok idk, you decide on what you think it means, this is what I think for now.
i love this song
Circa Survive is one of my fav bands
=)
Why it is about coke:
the title is "the glorious nosebleed"
the "force feeding lines" part
the line "calcium waste" obvious
the line "this sort of thing gets you out of mind" refers to how much easier it is to attempt suicide. This whole song is about coke and suicide...Being scared to go through with the suicide but being able to forget about it with coke.
The "walk into the light" is her or him abandoning his side and siding with the beliefs of a God.
Maybe he sees someone that believs as ignorant, making it easier for him to forget get right before impact, or death. When death comes they'll know the truth, that there is no God.
The "calcium waste" is our bodies returning to nature, no sould just our natural structures returning to earth only to become something else.
To me I guess the truth of the matter is no one understands religion, that's why faith exsists.
I dunno, I'm fucked up right now.
First of all. The first stanza. FORCED, which is peer pressure. - Feeding you lines. LINES OF COKE.
"Look how high I'm jumping from" - Cocaine forces your brain to emit excessive amounts of dopamine which causes you to feel extremely energetic. Which is why someone would want to jump from a high building or do something drastic. "You'll never make it" - is the reality of it all.
"I Know what it feels like... Giving into something you don't understand." - An experienced user telling of their personal psychology of the drug, and what kind of confusion it can cause, when you don't understand why you are becoming addicted.
"Walk into the light..." - is a relapse. associating
light with PLEASURE, and it feels good to "get out of mind... before impact [actual impact with the drug]."
"Calcium waste, glitter and falling like icicles" - something so beautiful and pure, coke is also referred to as 'snow'. also, calcium is white.
"guess who's next, you're just as guilty as them.." -
refers to the NEXT person who will get caught in the same trap. and for a person who would be so stereotypical as to judge a drug addict when they don't know what the person has gone through mentally. "GUILTY" is the after effects of doing something 'wrong' and putting shame on someone for making these mistakes.
this song is not about a girl falling off a building regardless of what anyone says, and regardless of what anthony green says, why would he confess to the world of his troubles when he can do it in a poem, where it leaves people to interpretation? Of course, this song is going to have layers and layers and layers of symbolism. The man is not your best friend, and just because you meet him and ask what this song means does not mean he's going to tell you. he could tell you the minimum and the general jist.
THAT. is what this song means.
