Send "Caught Up" Ringtone to Cell

Too done up
I've said too much
it always seems like I do.

All because people don't learn
they'd much rather teach the truth
Better kept secret
and waiting on a better day.

When everything is self-destructive
I can't explain myself anyway.
So I'll make my apologies.
Just as soon as you turn your back
it's as bad, as bad can get.
Is anyone listening?

If I could, you know I would
hypocrisy that's understood.
It's meaningless at best
nothing makes sense.
Here right now I'll put this down.
I'll put this down to pull you in and hear the sound.
A living silhouette with nothing to give back...

I'm caught up.

    General Comment:And by the way, what is up with the faggy kids coming here to complain about this not being "X-core"??? Fuck you, this site is for SONG MEANINGS not for some kids to score scene points. OMG no screaming, this iz lame :( Goddamn, I have seen FoT like 5 times and there are always little girl-boys there, in tight ass jeans, when did that start being cool??? I've met Thomas and he is for real a great guitarist who writes all of the music for FoT. If he wants to do a slow song with singing, get over it - ITS HIS BAND! Guess what, he makes more money than you do because he knows how to write good music. Fuck I had to sign up just to vent, I have been on songmeanings for years now to get lyrics, and I can't get over how many fucking kids just want to talk shit to look cool. Get over yourselves.

    General Comment:Sounds like he is in a relationship where both parties are cheating. Hence, "Better kept secret, waiting on a better day". He is feeling either jealous or insecure so he is self-destructive, sabotaging his relationship, even though he knows it is what he wants. He is too late though, and always ends up trying to mend stuff after it's way too late, and the chic won't even give him the time to explain (though he probably couldn't explain anyways). I guess it does seem pretty self-explanatory since 99% of songs could be about girls.

    Alternate explanation - He is always sabotaging stuff that is good in his life in general, and it's too late to turn back. He regrets all of life's missed opportunities, and is constantly thinking about how he f*cked up everything (nothing's making sense). He wants to ask God for help ("is anybody listening?") but it's too late, God has turned his back. Now he is just left a living silhouette, as in a body without a soul, with nothing to give back.

    General Comment:Okay so, I read through all these comments and you guys are driving me crazy...
    First, They are an "experimental band" it even says that on their myspace...
    Second, Thomas produced this CD, to see all the Directions the band could take for their next album.
    Honestly, look at the new Ghostships... In the Demos, Thomas was screaming. Now in the new ones, he is singing... Does that mean it sounds like shit cause he isn't screaming like in the rest of his songs?

    I personally think this song is beautiful. Thomas is a great song writer/singer screaming or not.
