"make me into a locket that you can wear around your neck so I can possess a picture of the man who made you feel the best, or at least better than I ever did." No words can describe how much emotion I feel when I listen to this part of the song.
Every year i revisit this song i always manage to resonate a different lyric, or find a new meaning to the same line. This song is truly a piece of art.
This is my depiction of the song: You are admiring someone from afar and they have no idea who you are and you are just trying to show that you have significance so you feel important to them by wanting them to show you off and that you try so hard but always get pushed away. And that you will love them because of the littlest things that make up their being and you just want to fit in so you can make them as happy as they make you happy and you don't want them to forget you even exist.
Or simply being used by people. "Sometimes I feel like some sort of gold being. I’m some sort of metal that only has purpose when someone needs something. And people wouldn’t chase after me if it wasn’t for greed, if it wasn’t for the purchasing of some sort of peace"
this... makes me thing of my ex boyfriend. he showed me this song when we were first dating. i was so in love, i hope he was too. i never felt so alive. then he broke up with me. we didnt talk for over a year. i got a girlfriend and she was... good, i guess. kinda emotionally abusive, but better than nothing. i cried in her arms about him but she will never know. he texted me a few months ago with an apology. we tried dating again. it didnt work. i'm not in love with him anymore. i dont desperately want him to be in love with me. but he was the most special person ive ever met and i hope he will someday understand that he was my first home i felt safe in and that i'm so grateful for him ever wanting something like me by his side.
New to these guys and holy shit. Very strong lyricism. Very poetic. I mean this in the best way but this guy reminds me of a young Max Bemis a little bit.
YESS!! legit i thought Joel has started a new band for a second because i just discovered them now and it almost sounded just like him. Thats what i love about this band and BAAO are the spoken word segments!
My bestfriend made me listen to this song, It’s been a year since he left the world. He told me he loves me, I always loved him but I was too afraid to tell him bc we might lose the friendship now I will never get the chance to tell him. Every time I come back to this song I remember all the good times, no more getting high and listening to Hotel books it’s not the same now that he’s gone. I just wish I was able to tell him how much he means to me. I love him since grade school.
Jacob Lor La dispute makes music similar to this although a tiny bit heavier at times, the lyrics are still full of meaning and usually their songs tell stories. nowHere also has some pretty good spoken word songs
descripcion of my song: my life is not breaking the rules, is to have a chance for respect the rules. i really know that i do, is the love and the love is only one, so didn't break the love and connect that. if you kill one person you will go to the prison for a long time, so don't do it. and if you like girls, not be bad, is your chance
+Sarah Barbolini That is completely a subjective response and this music was not meant to be held to such an elitist response. People enjoy what they enjoy. No need for shame.

Jinay Rodriguez Right there with you this comment gave me chills.
It hurts
I don't remember the last time a band has given me chills like this did.

James Rowe well fuc*** said.
I've finally found something that makes me happy and sad at the same time.
This is my depiction of the song:
You are admiring someone from afar and they have no idea who you are and you are just trying to show that you have significance so you feel important to them by wanting them to show you off and that you try so hard but always get pushed away. And that you will love them because of the littlest things that make up their being and you just want to fit in so you can make them as happy as they make you happy and you don't want them to forget you even exist.
Commenting so you can come back and listen to this amazing song again ❤️

I love this song nearly as much as Nothing Was The Same. My favorite segment is when the chorus joins in near 2:20
this... makes me thing of my ex boyfriend. he showed me this song when we were first dating. i was so in love, i hope he was too. i never felt so alive.
then he broke up with me. we didnt talk for over a year. i got a girlfriend and she was... good, i guess. kinda emotionally abusive, but better than nothing. i cried in her arms about him but she will never know.
he texted me a few months ago with an apology. we tried dating again.
it didnt work.
i'm not in love with him anymore. i dont desperately want him to be in love with me.
but he was the most special person ive ever met and i hope he will someday understand that he was my first home i felt safe in and that i'm so grateful for him ever wanting something like me by his side.

I love you Cam Smith, Dan Colasanto, Kaleb Thibeau and Andy Garcia
I definitely feel some being as an ocean influences in this, good work with the album.
Definitely. More so Dear G-d than the more recent albums.
Also hints of Listener in there as well, especially in the 'medallion' line.
+Nic Adamski-O'Toole
Definitely in-between listener and BAAO :)

"Covered in the charcoal remains of ashes from the last time someone burned me."
At least once I year I randomly wake up with the need to hear this album. Today was that day.
My bestfriend made me listen to this song, It’s been a year since he left the world. He told me he loves me, I always loved him but I was too afraid to tell him bc we might lose the friendship now I will never get the chance to tell him.

If he was your best friend he knew you loved him, dont question yourself. I hope you're doing well stranger

You’ve made me di a bad thing…

*cough* some of the lyrics are wrong *cough* js
This music is 100,000 times better than rap music
+Sarah Barbolini That is completely a subjective response and this music was not meant to be held to such an elitist response. People enjoy what they enjoy. No need for shame.
Technically it is rap because rap stands for 'Rhythm And Poetry' which is exactly what this is
Eleanore S your response makes me happy 😂
depends on who we are talking about
Completley agree w Sarah👌👍
lmao, corny
