I'm always screaming my lungs out
till my head starts spinning.
Playing my songs is the way I cope with life.
Won't keep my voice down.
Know the words I speak are the thoughts I think out loud.
I like to keep things honest.
I'm a safe bet like your life's staked on it. For real.
I'd hate to keep you all wondering.
I'm constant like the seasons, and I will never be forgotten man.
Let's leave no words unspoken
and save regrets for the broken.
Will you even look back when you think of me?
All I want is a place to call my own,
and mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa
You know to keep your hopes up high and your head down low.
Keep your hopes up high and your head down low.
Still got something left to prove.
It tends to keep things moving.
While everyone around me says my last days are looming overhead
But just what the hell do they think they know?
I keep my head above the water while they drown in the undertow.
Let's leave no words unspoken
and save regrets for the broken.
Will you even look back when you think of me?
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/a_day_to_remember/all_i_want.html ]
All I want is a place to call my own,
and mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa
You know to keep your hopes up high and your head down low.
All I want is a place to call my own,
and mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa
You know to keep your hopes up high and your head down low.
If you take it from me,
Live your life for yourself.
Cause when it's all said and done you don't need anyone else.
Come on!
So let's get back to when everything seemed perfect.
Not a worry in the world, tell me was this all worth it?
I get what I want, so everyone’s always judging me.
I’m not afraid of anything, and I've got the whole world in front of me.
All I want is a place to call my own,
and mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa
You know to keep your hopes up high and your head down low
All I want is a place to call my own,
and mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa
You know to keep your hopes up high and your head down low
Keep your head down low.
Keep your head down low.
Keep your hopes up high and your head down low.
The way that I
take this song is that his music is his
way of expressing himself. I believe this is why he opens with the first couple
verses saying, “I'm always screaming my lungs out till my head starts spinning. Playing my songs is the way I
cope with life. Won't keep
my voice down. Know the
words I speak are the thoughts I think out loud.” He uses songs to express his
feelings that he may not be able to say out loud.
We move on the the next set of verses, he says straight up that he
is going keep things honest. In the verse where he says, “I'm constant like the
seasons, and I will never be forgotten man,” he’s saying he is not changing and
he is himself, not changing whether people like it or not.
The next set of verses, I think this is more the entire band
expressing that they are going to say what they want to say because anything
less than that would be a defeat to them. The verse, “and save the regrets for
the broken,” says that give everything you got, and when your all said and done
have no regrets. Leave it to the people, (or bands), that have fallen before to
regret everything.
Next, he just says that he wants to belong somewhere, to call
something home. He wants his songs to provide happiness or some emotion to his
listeners.
“You know to keep your hopes
up high and your head down low,” the next verse, is saying that you need to
keep your hopes high, but be humble as you do so.
Next couple verses in the song, “If you take it from me, Live
your life for yourself. Cause
when it's all said and done you don't need anyone else. Come on,” are my
favorite of the song. Its him giving us a little piece of advice, saying that
live to be yourself, and not someone fake. Cause when its all over, you don’t need
to act like anyone else but yourself to be happy.
