Chairs thrown and tables toppled,
Hands armed with broken bottles,
Standing no chance to win but,
We're not runnin', we're not runnin'.
There's a point I think we're missin',
It's in the air we raise our fists in,
In the smiles we cast each other,
My sister, my brother.
About the time we gave up hopeing
We'd ever find these locks still open,
Stumbling on stones unturned,
the hurt we feel, we all have earned
The lines we cross in search of change, but all they see is treason
And though we have no obligation, to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
(Break out) I won't be left here
Behind closed doors.
Bonfires burn like beacons,
Guiding the lost and weakened.
Flames dance on crashing waves,
Guiding ships who've gone astray
Time out, let's stop and think this through,
We've all got better things to do,
than talk in circles run in place,
the answers are inches from my face.
and though we have no obligation, to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
(Break out) I won't be left here
Behind closed doors.
Black eyes, broken fingers,
Blood drips and I let it run down my lips into my swollen gums
When hope is nonexistent,
Our instincts all scream, "Run",
We never turn our backs or even bite our tongue.
Although we have no obligation, to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
(Break out) I won't be left here
Behind closed doors.
These are the correct lyrics according to the booklet
And yes, it really says "and though" twice and "although" in the end.
Im really unsure about the lyrics, IMO it seems more to be about people fighting a senseless revolution, although they lost hope long ago, but they don't know what do to instead, and so they just go on with it.
Fighting "behind closed doors" probably means to fight although your goals are unreachable.
But there is one person left who sees that it can't go on this way "there's a point i think we're missing" and who wants to break out because he doesn't want to end up fighting a senseless fight "i won't be left here, behind closed doors"
"the hurt we feel, we all have earned" means that they have to realise the hurt they feel (maybe refering to the fighting part at the beginning) is there own fault that they earned through there actions, and if they wan't to get rid of it they have to change them.
He then crosses the line in search of a better way, but is considered to be a treator, because the others are so narrow minded and focused on "there" way that they can't accept that there might be another one. "the lines we crossed in search of chance but all they see is treason"
"Time out, let's stop and think this through, We've all got better things to do, than talk in circles run in place, the answers are inches from my face."
Is a conclusion: Stop fighting a senseless revolution and stop fighting each other and think about how you can actually do something that will really help, it's right in front of you, because there a so many ways you can do something that will actually help.
