Send "YDG?!" Ringtone to Cell

Won't be mistaken with the saints of youth,
God's backed up again.
I swear, when I scream,
we're not home again.
Run from your problems,
but you cannot run from yourself.
You'll take this back.

Broken I've lied,
pick up the pieces,
you'll try to live for yourself.
How can you live for yourself?
Live how you wish,
but live as if you'll die today.

I won't stop until I can reach you
& get this off my chest.
A sense of direction,
to lead you home again.

Mind your tongue
& save your breath for someone else.
You won't believe me,
we're not the same 'cause I dig
& I dig you too.
Conformed in writing,
I will fight for the sake of you.
I will fight for this.

Dream if you'll live forever,
Dream for me.
Broken down,
I've tried to pick up the pieces.
You lied.
You live for yourself.
Yourself.

    General Comment:I'm pretty sure this song is Austin calling out Attack Attack. About how far off base they've gone, and how they're no better then he is. That he came to grips with who he is, and also understands who they are now (I dig, and I dig you to). They used to live for something better (their beliefs and faith), now they live for themselves, and are sell outs. I think it ends with him basically saying he hasn't given up on them yet. Meh, I dunno, just spit-ballin'.

    Song Meaning:Here's what I noticed.

    "We're not the same, because I dig, and I dig you too."
    If he digs her, and they're not the same, maybe this means she doesn't 'dig' him?
    Could also add some meaning to the title beyond "Do you understand?" He could actually be asking if she likes him.

    And of course, the "Run from your problems but you cannot run from yourself." Implies that she is the source of her problems.

    I kind of get the feeling that the theme is something like his partner destroying their relationship (In his eyes anyway) and then blaming it on him.

    General Comment:i like the lyrics to all of these songs, but it kind of seems like they use some of the same lyrics and concepts of songs in other songs and stuff ;o
    But, i still love the message of all the lyrics to all the songs. :)
