Send "Relative Ways" Ringtone to Cell

It's hard to imagine, it's so hard to perceive
To find an expression for what it all means
All panic and struggle, all death and decay
Are coming together in relative ways
This electric guitar hanging to my knees
A couple of verses I can barely breathe
But it's all right, it's o.k.k.
It's coming together in relative ways

It's started to happen, it's started to change
With the movement up on us, hope we make it o.k.
If it takes a life or a couple of days
It's coming together in relative ways
This electric guitar hanging to my knees
A couple of verses I can barely breathe
But it's all right, it's o.k.k.
It's coming together in relative ways

    General Comment:Yeah, Novembre's album Materia has that same effect on me, blankets_stare. It reminds me of my childhood somehow, like I heard it then... but it came out in 2006. Some things just hit that nostalgia in you somehow... and it's great.

    General Comment:I don't even like Trail of Dead musically, but I think their lyricist is one of the best. To me this song is just about weird shit of any kind that turns out to have meaning in the end as part of a grand scheme. Maybe the purpose of life may be hard for anyone to see, with all the hate and death in the world, but sometimes it comes together in relative ways.

    General Comment:actually, i'm pretty sure they all determined that the chorus is:

    it's ok,
    i'm a saint
    i forgave
    your mistake.

    General Comment:Chorus:

    It's ok
    I'm the same
    I forgave
    Your mistakes
    It's ok
    I'm the same
    I forgave
    Your mistakes

    General Comment:This is what I hear:

    It's hard to imagine, it's so hard to perceive
    To find an expression for what it all means
    All panic and struggle, all death and decay
    It's coming together in relative ways
    This electric guitar hanging to my knees
    Got a couple of verses I can barely breathe
    But it's all right, it's o.k
    It's coming together in relative ways

    It's o.k.
    I'm the same
    And again (??)
    You will stay
    It's o.k.
    I'm the same
    And again (??)
    You will stay

    It's started to happen, it's started to change
    With the movement upon us, hope we make it o.k.
    If it takes a life or a couple of days
    It's coming together in relative ways
    An electric guitar hangs to my knees
    Got a couple of verses I can barely breathe
    But it's all right, it's o.k.
    It's coming together in relative ways

    It's o.k.
    I'm the same
    And again (??)
    You will stay
    It's o.k.
    I'm the same
    And again (??)
    You will stay

    General Comment:Jason Reece may not be the best drummer ever or one of the greats, but still is really fucking good. Listen to 'Half of What' off of the self titled EP. He absolutely kics ass in that song.
