Somebody give me a sign,
That everything's going as planned
And then everything falls away
Into the darkness of this shallow place
The detail is striking,
This room's cold and frightening
You'll kick and you'll scream, you try everything to survive
But you should know your fate by now know your fate by now

They told me, how I should be
But I broke the mould somehow

Too vague too vague, you can try to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one, the one to watch you die, today

You, you know you gotta search yourself
Leave what you need for now
It's not the time or place your searching for
All i can give is my worst salvages
You're nothing to me, you don't like what you see
Your life's a lie, there's no where left to hide

They told me, how I should be
But I broke the mould somehow

Too vague too vague, you can try to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one, the one to watch you die, today


Watch your back, you'll lose yourself
This is a battleground
When will they know

Your life's a lie

Too vague, too vague, you can try to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one, the one to watch you die
But I swear I'll be the one, the one to watch you die

They told me, how I should be
But I broke the mould somehow

    General Comment:I actually had Sound Hound identify the song as I was listening to it and it shows the lyrics and followed along with the song. It actually says its "Too vague, too vague but you can't resolve the past right now" Just thought that was interesting.

    General Comment:This is MY interpretation. And I made an account just for this so you guys better look.

    Somebody give me a sign,
    That everything's going as planned
    And then everything falls away
    Into the darkness of this shallow place
    The detail is striking,
    This room's cold and frightening
    You'll kick and you'll scream, you try everything to survive
    But you should know your fate by now know your fate by now

    They told me, how I should be
    But I broke the mold somehow

    Too late, too late you keep trying to resolve the past right now
    But I swear I'll be the one, to let the world know what you've done to me

    You, you know you gotta assert yourself
    Leave what you need for now
    It's not the time or place your searching for
    All i can give is my worst of intentions
    You're nothing to me, you don't like what you see
    Your life's a lie, there's no where left to hide

    They told me, how I should be
    But I broke the mold somehow

    Too late too late, you can try to resolve the past right now
    But I swear I'll be the one, to let the world know what you've done (x2) TO ME


    Watch your back, you'll lose yourself
    This is a battleground
    When will they know

    Your life's a lie

    Too late,to late you can try to resolve the past right now
    But I swear I'll be the one, to let the world know what you've done (Somebody Give me a sign)
    But I swear I'll be the one, to let the world know what you've done

    They told me, how I should be
    But I broke the mold somehow

    I think this is it. 100% straight up. Homie G peace outttt

    General Comment:I think it has both; too vague, too vague, you can try to resolve the past right now. But I swear ill be the one to let the world watch you die / too late, too late you can try to resolve the past right now but I swear ill be the one to let the world know what you've done to me...... I think they only have the latter one in it but its wat your listening for rlly but just listen closely

    My Interpretation:In this song we all have a problem too vague for anyone to see, and we don't want anyone to stop us be who we are, so always go for the gold people would tell you, no matter how it seems just don't give up

    Song Meaning:I think it was about how everyone is trying to mold him into something he`s not and he decided not to listen to them but he is talking to someone else in this song who is also going through the same thing.
    I guess that person decided to go with the changing.

    General Comment:Um, these lyrics are reaaaaally wrong.
    Chorus:
    "It's too late, too late you keep trying to resolve the past right now.
    But I swear I'll be the one to let the world know what you've done to me."

    also, it's not
    You, you know you gotta search yourself
    Leave what you need for now
    It's not the time or place your searching for
    All i can give is my worst salvages
    You're nothing to me, you don't like what you see
    Your life's a lie, there's no where left to hide

    It's:
    "You, you know ya' gotta assert yourself
    Leave what you need for now.
    It's not the time or place you're searching for.
    All I can give them is my worst of intentions.
    You're nothing to me and everyone can see that
    Your life's a lie, there's nowhere left to hide."

    Don't try to argue with me, I took these out of the lyric book from the special edition deluxe of Homesick.

    General Comment:"THIS IS A BATTLEGROUND!" a very sick breakdown, especially since he keeps it going with the "When Will they KNOW".. and i love how sharp they end it with the "your lifes a lie.
