Lyrics for DOA as interpreted by EWizaCFT

DOA Lyrics
Oh you know I did it
It's over and I feel fine
Nothing you could say is gonna change my mind
Waiting and I wait at the longest night
Nothing like the taste to sweet decline

I was down, I fell, I fell so fast
Dropping like the grains in an hourglass
Never say forever cause nothing lasts
Dancing with the thorns of my buried past

Nevermind there's nothing I can do
Bet your life there's something killing you

It's a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time

What a way to go, they have no fear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time

Finished, I'm getting you off my chest
Made you come clean in a dirty dress
A promise is a promise you kept in check
Heart across a heart that beats it's fist

Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Been a pleasure but the pleasure's
been mine, all mine

Ain't no way, DOA
Ain't no way, DOA

It's a shame we have to disappear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
This time
This time

Might wanna edit this line...

"Then the pleasure about the pleasure's
been mine, all mine"

should be...

Been a pleasure but the pleasure's been mine, all mine

Yeah, it's a term used in hospitals... well, obviously, lol... Maybe I'm wrong but the most common use is with car accidents.

I think this song is just looking at life on earth and realizing that everyone is going to die, so why be sad about it? The chorus is definitely indicative of wanting to just enjoy the moment and not worry about death.

DEAD ON ARIVAL (DOA) (i think) When i listen to this and hell; (the next track on the disc) i can picture the songs in a war film like platton or deer hunter. Great chrous and catchy lyrics.

this song kicks ass, it truly does. i always thought it was a parting of the ways- be it romantically or just a friendship "its a shame we have to die my dear", "its over and i feel fine" etc.

Foo Fighters August 5th baby! Can't wait.
This song is going to be amazing live, I love it....first one on the entire CD I knew I had to go back to and listen to again. (Thats when you know its good)
Could be about a relationship ending, I could see it being about life, and dieing though... I prefer thinking about it that way.

We're all DOA. We enter the world knowing that one fine day we're going to die. I think the song is a guy remembering the things good or bad that made it worth living.
It also seems romantic like he's telling a girl all of this with the message of "live your life, cause it could be your last chance" why not have fun with it?

'Never say forever cause nothing lasts
Dancing with the thorns of my buried past
Nevermind theres nothing i can do'
Maybe a throwback to daves nirvana days?

Maybe a stupid, unoriginal interpretation on *any* song, but I think it's about a difficult break-up.

"Oh you know I did it
It's over and I feel fine
Nothing you could say is gonna change my mind
Waiting and I wait at the longest night
Nothing like the taste to sweet decline"

He's just telling himself he "feels fine" hoping he can get out of this pain he's in. But he still wants her back - "Waiting and I wait at the longest night" is him knowing they should be together, and willing to wait.

"It's a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time

What a way to go, they have no fear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time"

They're both having trouble with the break up, they both feel like shit, hence "no-one's getting out of here alive" - neither of them's getting out of this relationship with no pain.

"Finished, I'm getting you off my chest
Made you come clean in a dirty dress"
He's getting over her, but he's finding things out he doesn't like.

"Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Been a pleasure but the pleasure's
been mine, all mine"

He's over her now, and is in deep regret about ever being with her, and is really, really pissed off at her.

Maybe that was completely wrong, but I'm using recent experience for it, twisting the lyrics to suit my life. So meh.

The annoying thing is sometimes I get mad at her, but I soon regret doing that, and end up where I was to begin with. A loop repeated for 4 months. Isn't my life great?

First of all - yes I should. Although she's not my "girl" anymore. Which is why I piss and moan about it all the time.

Second of all - WTF? In Your Honour (with a 'u', yes. If you're gonna steal a language, steal it properly :P) is definitely one of their best, although they are all amazing.

They put them in an anti-gravity simulating rotating room thingy, strapping them to the floor. I love it.
