Brand New - Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades Lyrics |
| Submitted by: eMEraLdwPn (#1) |
Current Rating: 5.00 (10 votes)  | Keep the noise low, she doesn't wanna blow it.
Shake from head to toe and the left hand does the show me around.
Quickens your heartbeat. It beats me straight into the ground.
You don't recover from a night like this.
A victim, still lying in bed, completely motionless.
A hand moves in the dark to a zipper.
Hear a boy bracing tight against sheets barely whisper, "This is so messed up."
Upon arrival the guests had all stared. Dripping wet and clearly depressed, he'd headed straight for the stairs.
No longer cool, but a boy in a stitch. Unprepared for a life filled with lies and failing relationships.
(Up the stairs, the station where the act becomes the art of growing up.)
He keeps his hands low, he doesn't wanna blow it.
He's wet from head to toe and his eyes give her the up and the down.
His stomach turns and he thinks of throwing up.
But the body on the bed beckons forward
and he starts growing up.
The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself.
The tickle the taste of. It used to be the reason that I breathed, but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.
She hits the lights. This doesn't seem quite fair.
Despite everything he learned from his friends, he doesn't feel so prepared.
She's breathing quiet and smooth, he's gasping for air.
"This is the first and last time", he said. She fakes a smile and presses her hips into his.
He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides.
He's holding back from telling her exactly what it really feels...like.
He is the lamb, she is the slaughter.
She's moving way too fast and all he wanted was to hold her.
Nothing that he tells her is really having an effect.
He whispers that he loves her, but she's probably only looking for sss...
(Up the stairs, the station where the act becomes the art of growing old.)
So much more than he could ever give.
A life free of lies and a meaningful relationship.
He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides.
He waits for it to end
and for the aching in his guts to subside.
The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell. Die young and save yourself.
The tickle the taste of.
It used to be the reason I breathed, but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.
Up the stairs, the station where the act becomes the art of growing up.
The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell. Die young and save yourself.
The tickle the taste of.
It used to be the reason I breathed, but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.

| THIS is the song that finally got me to get up of my ass and buy their CD, DEJA ENTENDU. I really loved the first single off this album, THE QUIET THINGS THAT NO ONE EVER KNOWS, and I have to say that THIS second single reaallly blew me away. It proves to me that this band can make songs that have a semi-depressed sort of feel to it, and songs that have quite a bit of angst to them, AND songs that can make you feel good, ALL on one album..THESE GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! |

| it has this undescribible beat to it that makes it catchy. The lyrics tell a story of what usually is the male pressuring the girl into the act, but its been flipped and works out nicely. |

| haha, I have had this song on repeat forever, I sent it to my friend, because I've been obsessed with it for a bit, and I wanted them to know why. I still have not bought this album though, but I got this song from a friend. |
