Well, I lost my innocence today
I could feel her in my bones
My bones, my bones, my bones
My blood, my blood, my blood, my blood
And I woke up, tired, scared and sad
Soaked, drained, I felt so bad
Today, today, today
What you still, you still, you still, you still
Won't you say, you say, you say, you say
What you feel, you feel, you feel, you feel
Which is nothing but hollow feelings, yeah
I can, done, I just don't care
And forget happiness, I'm fine
I'll forget everything in time
I swear I didn't know,
You know me, how I can't let go
And we're not guts, we're just hacks
All that life amongst the cracks
The scars, the siege that breaks
The ugliest scene, the worst mistakes
And everywhere I see her face
Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste
And there's no innocence like hers
Just emptiness and nerves
And this light from the window of my car
She'll never see it, oh my God
I was so surprised, it blew up in my face
Lord, I lost my nerve, oh my God...
Oh my God, oh my... God
And I tear, I tear, so hard...
And I tear, I tear, so hard...
And I beg and scream, "I was wrong"
It's over, she's gone
I could feel her in my bones
My bones, my bones, my bones
My blood, my blood, my blood, my blood
And I woke up, tired, scared and sad
Soaked, drained, I felt so bad
Today, today, today
What you still, you still, you still, you still
Won't you say, you say, you say, you say
What you feel, you feel, you feel, you feel
Which is nothing but hollow feelings, yeah
I can, done, I just don't care
And forget happiness, I'm fine
I'll forget everything in time
I swear I didn't know,
You know me, how I can't let go
And we're not guts, we're just hacks
All that life amongst the cracks
The scars, the siege that breaks
The ugliest scene, the worst mistakes
And everywhere I see her face
Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste
And there's no innocence like hers
Just emptiness and nerves
And this light from the window of my car
She'll never see it, oh my God
I was so surprised, it blew up in my face
Lord, I lost my nerve, oh my God...
Oh my God, oh my... God
And I tear, I tear, so hard...
And I tear, I tear, so hard...
And I beg and scream, "I was wrong"
It's over, she's gone

What you still, you still, you still, you still
Won't you say, you say, you say, you say
What you feel, you feel, you feel, you feel
Which is nothing but hollow feelings, yeah
I can, done, I just don't care
She doesn't know what to feel about after what he did.
And forget happiness, I'm fine
I'll forget everything in time
He knows that he will never be happy again, because what he thought he wanted, only made him miserable.
I swear I didn't know,
You know me, how I can't let go
And we're not guts, we're just hacks
All that life amongst the cracks
The scars, the siege that breaks
The ugliest scene, the worst mistakes
And everywhere I see her face
Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste
And there's no innocence like hers
Just emptiness and nerves
He tries to explain his actions, he misses her so much, but that doesn't change a thing, despite how broken he was before, she is the only one that could make it all better, but she is gone.
I was so surprised, it blew up in my face
Lord, I lost my nerve, oh my God...
Oh my God, oh my... God
He realizes completely what he has done, he asks for forgiveness, he is surprised be the situation, by how easily he lost control.
And I beg and scream, "I was wrong"
It's over, she's gone
nothing can be changed..
what a beatiful and realistic song <3
I swear I didn't know, [...] The ugliest scene, the worst mistakes [...] And this light from the window of my car
She'll never see it, oh my God
I was so surprised, it blew up in my face
Lord, I lost my nerve, oh my God...
It could be that the writer is hitting the bottom. He is losing his innocent view on the world and becoming cynical. It's a huge loss, life changing to say the least, and at the same time he is having revelations about who he really is because of it.
I've thought that he is singing to a metaphysical embodiment of his Innocence, a girl. And that's who is his singing to/about.
I've also thought that he is sing to god, about his loss of faith.
I think the idea that this is about an abortion has some strong evidence behind it being true. in which case, I am sorry for him.
nothing could be so bad
"just emptiness and nerves"
And I woke up, tired, scared and sad
*So* drained, I felt so bad
Today, today, today
What you still, you still, you still, you still
*What* you say, you say, you say, you say
What you feel, you feel, you feel, you feel
Which is nothing but hollow feelings, yeah
I can *die and* I just don't care
Corrections inside asterisks. I dunno, I think it just makes more sense that way too.
And in the third verse I hear "We're not gods" instead of "We're not guts". Again, more logical.. And goes with the whole theme of being weak and losing things, as humans often do.
In light of this, this is my favorite song by them, standing alongside "Sometime Around Midnight." I had read all the various interpretations of this song while searching the lyrics, and I identified most with the "lost love" interpretation...that is, until recently.
This week, my girlfriend and I discovered she was pregnant. I've loved her since first sight, and our relationship has been nothing but a whirlwind of pure bliss. Today, I learned she wanted to abort the pregnancy.
I listened to this song, and I wept. To me, this is about a boy who chose to advise his girl to abort their child. Review the following passage:
"And everywhere I see her face
Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste
And there's no innocence like hers
Just emptiness and nerves."
Every child I wonder, could that have been mine?
It is so innocent...just waiting for life, absorbing its mothers' nutrients, prey to our mercy. It hasn't happened yet, but I predict many tears in my future.
Wish me luck.
Commonly when someone is a virgin, they are "innocent"
Loosing your innocence... There are many lines in this song that can prove this theory.
(:
I love TATE<3
Most of the song its about how depressed he is and near the end of the song he says "And this light from the window of my car."
Amazing song and band
