Lyric Box VI

Lights and Sound
Yellowcard

Hello, you, how was the rest?
You made it through, but nevertheless
I got you out on a wire.
You be love and I'll be a liar.

Tell it all and fill up the air,
But make a loud cause nobody's there
And nobody's there
And nobody's there

[chorus]
Stop, turn, take a look around
At all the lights and sounds.
Let them bring you in.
Slow burn, let it all fade out,
Pull the curtain down.
I wonder where you've been?

Make it new, but stay in the lines.
Just let go, but keep it inside.
Smile big for everyone,
Even when you know what they've done.
They gave you the end but not where to start;
Not how to build, how to tear it apart.

So tell it all and fill up the air,
But make a loud cause nobody's there
And nobody's there
And nobody's there

[chorus]

I've got a way to work this out,
I've got a way and you know how. [x7]

[chorus]

You earned everything you found,
And painted faces frown.
I'll say I knew you when...
--------------------------------------------------

:] i like the chorus its like a command to all.
just stop whatever you're doing and look around.
we live in this world without really noticing all the details.
like how that light shows off the features to a certain object,
or how the wind cause the trees to move, which makes this eerie whoosh.
listen to all the sounds you cannot describe. even when its dead quiet, if you listen closely maybe you'll hear the traffic from a block over...

really i think this song.
is saying.

"hey you. stop and think. look around. dont waste your time."

something like that.

I personally think it's talking about doing drugs to get over some sad incident or some such. That's me though.
