Lyrics for Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives as interpreted by sillymofo15

Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives Lyrics
If you think you're throwing words to the wise,
the first thing that you ever felt, inside and under your belt
To a place that smothers children
Cuts the space between two lives

I've seen you working, wasted and gray
You've got a delicate heart, and listen, you would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and wives

Listen, I've come to rock this boat
The take and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner leaves no space in the other
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of taction only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

And if you see this world as ugly and thin
Then you'll be so cruel to the touch, you'll lose the body you're in
To a land of angry soil, that swallows boys and coughs up men
I've seen you taste the salt of your tears
You always stop when you start, and listen, you would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and wives

Listen, I've come to rock this boat
The take and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner, leaves no space in the other
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of taction only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

I'll raise a glass to bein' no one else's fool
Raise some question to the rule who says you'd have to lose a love to find one
Take the things you don't love spread them out in the sun
To futures melt into one
Who says you have to lose a love to find one
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of taction only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

I'm around, I'm around, I'm ok, I'm ok
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm the same, I'm the same
We are, yeah, we are, we are
We are just looking for something

With our hands, and our fists, muscles, skin, thumb, and bone
We never grew up, we were cut from the stone
That holds your body and soul
We are all just looking for something

i think these lyrics are way off, but maybe im just hearing them wrong.
i thought it was
-cuts the space between two lives
-death in one corner leaves a space in the other
-we only ever wanted to feel *real*
-you'll be cruel to the touch, you'll lose the body you're in
-take the things you don't know spread them out in the sun/ two futures melt into one (im almost positive about this one)
-im the same, im the same (not sure)
-we are just looking for something (not sure about this one!)

these are kind of hard to get though...

in conclusion, this song is crazy good

dude i think i made it pretty clear. whatever here you go sillymofo.

If you think you're throwing words to the wise,
the first thing that you ever felt, inside and under your belt
To a place that smothers children
Cuts the space between two lives

I've seen you working, wasted and gray
You've got a delicate heart, and listen, you would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and wives

Listen, I've come to rock this boat
The take and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner leaves no space in the other
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of taction only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

And if you see this world as ugly and thin
Then you'll be so cruel to the touch, you'll lose the body you're in
To a land of angry soil, that swallows boys and coughs up men
I've seen you taste the salt of your tears
You always stop when you start, and listen, you would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and wives

Listen, I've come to rock this boat
The take and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner, leaves no space in the other
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of taction only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

I'll raise a glass to bein' no one else's fool
Raise some question to the rule who says you'd have to lose a love to find one
Take the things you don't love spread them out in the sun
To futures melt into one
Who says you have to lose a love to find one
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of taction only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

I'm around, I'm around, I'm ok, I'm ok
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm the same, I'm the same
We are, yeah, we are, we are
We are just looking for something

With our hands, and our fists, muscles, skin, thumb, and bone
We never grew up, we were cut from the stone
That holds your body and soul
We are all just looking for something

hope that helps. anyone else who knows feel free to edit this further. im not 100 percent sure.

i have an mp3 of the original recording of the vocals; i'm 99% sure these are completely correct. (also, "taction" isn't a word.)

If you think you're throwing words to the wise,
the first thing that you ever felt, inside and under your belt
To a place that smothers children
Cuts the space between two lives

I've seen you working, wasted and gray
You've got a delicate heart, and listen, you would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and wives

Listen, I've come to rock this boat
The take and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner leaves a space in the other
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of touchin' only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

And if you see this world as ugly and thin
Then you'll be so cruel to the touch, you'll lose the body you're in
To a land of angry soil, it swallows boys and coughs up men
I've seen you taste the salt of your tears
You always stop when you start, and listen, you would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and wives

Listen, I've come to rock this boat

Two years of touchin' only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

I'll raise a glass to bein' no one else's fool
Raise some question to the rule who says you'd have to lose a love to find one
Take the things you don't know, spread them out in the sun
Two futures melt into one
Who says you have to lose a love to find one?
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of touchin' only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

I'm around, I'm around, I'm ok, I'm ok
Alive, I'm alive, I'm the same, I'm the same
We are, yeah, we know we are
We are just looking for something

With our hands, and our fists, muscles, skin, charred and bone
We never grew up, we were cut from the stone
That holds you, body and soul
We are all just looking for something

two years of tension only teaches you to fight, i believe it is...
and that's it the taking and giving leaves no room for the living.
he does have a very strange accent though.

taction is too a real word! or at least, merriam webster's says it is. and those guys know their words, for real.

we'll get through this together, guys.

i suggest everyone uses headphones to write lyrics, i'm finding other things.
it might be
"we are yeah we know we are" or i might have heard "young" in there.. like "we know we're young" or something.
it's so hard to hear his lyrics most of the time.

Sensitivetofate's lyrics sound right on to me. I think part of the song's about a relationship gone wrong, some of it's about finding love, and a lot of the beginning seems to be about illfated war, like "To a land of angry soil, it swallows boys and coughs up men."

"Raise some question to the rule who says you'd have to lose a love to find one"

What does this line mean? It's always bothered me everytime I listen to the song.

"Taction" may indeed be a real word but it's not part of the lyrics to this song.

cows-fly:

I interpret that line as saying that it's possible to be in love with two people at once and people shouldn't ignore what they feel because of "rules" that society sets, like there being ~*~oNe TrUe LoVe~*~ for everyone.

Alright, I think the song is about this guy who goes to war and leaves behind his love. Simply put. If you look back at the lyrics you can see what I mean.

I don't think he's saying 'taction' either.. Isn't it 'touching'?

Isn't he saying 'two years of touching?' It fits into the rest of the chorus which speaks about physical touch. 'we'll be HOLDING one another..we only ever wanted to FEEL real...'
