Brave:
if you didn't know all the moments
when I lose myself I would tell the world
I guess I should know the limits
of the world there are moments
I find myself not breathing at all
all of Sounds of Decay
RAINROOM
we saw it all pass by and you went by and
I can't control anything when you said that
life can't be what you want and I really want
everything
Quiet World:
four numbers staring back at me
displaying the mediocrity of my presence
i´m wasting my day wtching them change
the sun with it's blue sky outside
shining down on all you happy people
i´m wasting my day waiting for rain
need more methods to end each day
to be happy by living this way
For My Demons:
you would never sleep at night
if you knew what I've been through
I Am Nothing:
I remember one of my friends
telling me to go ahead
water on every side
there's a dead spot in my eye
if I listen close at night
there's something coming my way
like someone called my name
but I didn't care to look that way
I just fixed my eyes into the crowd
it would have been strange to turn around
if you would tell me that I was someone
then for a second I would think
just like I would try to consider
how it would feel to know
I have to get on with this
it's a decision for tonight
out to look for chances
it is murder of my mind
once I was someone new
I was chosen for a while
then with time I am changing
at least that is what they say
what is worth with being here
I pray so often for a change
No Good Can Come of This:
I read a letter I never sent
and saw me smiling on a picture
this is nothing I remember
whatever made me feel so
there are children
on the freeway
I have my ways
playing with death
Strained:
I'd like to try to live my life again
I'd like to see where I was going wrong
Dispossession:
in this dead hour
here with you
seconds are worthless
in this dead hour
when all is blank
minutes are worthless
Clean Today
WILL THE STREETLIGHTS REFLECT ME WELL ENOUGH
AM I TRANSPARENT WHEN I AM CLEAN
WILL THE DARKNESS AROUND ME BE SO STRONG
THAT THERE IS NO WAY I CAN BE SEEN (caps not mine
)
thats it, I think Jonas is one of the most gifted lyricists in all of metaldom, his lyrics are "down-to-earth" yet very "obscure" and metaphorical at the same time
