This is Your Life- by Switchfoot
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
this song is all about putting your lifestyle in check. this begins this "story" so to speak by talking about what would cause this subject to enter your mind- looking back on the past and what youve done
Dont close your eyes, Dont close your eyes
a lot of times when you think of bad things you may have done in the past, you tend to push them away and not even think about them, cuz sin is an ugly thing, so this is a reminder that you need to examine it without immediately dismissing it, or else nothing will change
This is your life, and today is all you've got now
and today is all you'll ever have
after you get that reminder youve got to go back and look at it. it sucks but youve got to do it. by saying today is all youve got now, it means just that. right now you can make a change. when he says today is all you'll ever have, he doesnt mean that specific day. he means you can repeat this process over and over again by saying ill make a change "today" but you never do...
Dont close your eyes, Dont close your eyes
its an annoying and depressing thing to look at the things you dont like about your life, but dont just put a wall between you and those things or theyll never get better. youve got to open your eyes and make a change.
Chorus:
This is your life, are you who you wanna be?
This is your life, are you who you wanna be?
after all that thinking, it finally leads you to this question and the beginning of hopefully a reform in your personality or something about you that you dont like
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be?
When the world was younger, and you had everything to lose
everyone will admit they have something they dont like about themselves. they wish or "dream" that it would change. most people have done it when they were a lot younger. they might have even vowed to change it back then. he says "when the world was younger" which is also referring to when you were younger and you had innocence which is what hes talking about you losing.
Verse 2:
Yesterday is a kid in the corner, Yesterday is dead and over
now you can take the whole "kid in the corner" thing to mean two things- either the things you have done you have regretted just like a kid in the corner thinkin bout what he did to get himself sent there; or you can see it as the next line says that yesterday is dead and over. you dont pay attention to yesterday, not very interesting, just like a kid sittin quietly in the corner, you dont notice them.
Chorus
after repeating this chorus you come to realize that verse 2 was talking about letting go now of those mistakes and the chorus basically tells you to start over and make some changes if you need to. i truly believe when switchfoot wrote it, it was intended to convince someone to be a christian because that solves so many if not all of your problems, if you want more info, talk to me
Dont close your eyes, Dont close your eyes
Dont close your eyes, Dont close your eyes
This is your life, are you who you wanna be?
This is your life, are you who you wanna be?
during this part the song echoes that "dont close your eyes" part and then goes to almost no instruments because its serious as it asks if your who you wanna be. no more messing around. youve probly figured out whats wrong- you need God and you need to make some changes
Chorus
it was a touching moment and thats where a lot of people would like to leave it instead of taking it seriously. i like songs like this though, cuz if you really listen to them, theyll smack you right in the face put you in check to see if your doing things right.
you guys should check this song out sometime, its not jus good lyrics, its also good music as well.

The Best Deceptions-Dashboard Confessional
*deep breath*
i heard about your trip; i heard about your souvenirs; i heard about the cool breeze in the cool nights and the cool guys that you spent them with...but i guess i should've heard of them from you. i guess i should've heard of them from you...
crazy lines to take in. the girlfriend totally ditched the boyfriend without even telling him where she was going. and she didnt just "go" somewhere. she did some stuff. but that's not the fact that's killing him. the thing that gets him is that she talked about it with other people and didn't talk at all about it with him. that's what's upsetting him is because he shouldn't have to hear stuff like that from other people. she should done it herself.
don't you see? don't you see...that the charade is over? and all the best deceptions and the "clever cover story" awards...they go to you.
tough time. i guess you could say i'm kinda going through this. the first part anyway. when he says that the charade is over.. he means that the acting like everything's ok in the relationship, nothing is wrong, and nothing went wrong... that mentality's over. they're getting rid of the falsehood that seemed to be covering the bad things in their relationship that happened. and uncovering the real truth.
so kiss me hard, 'cause this will be the last time that i let you. you will be back some day, and this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips will be of service to giving you away...
a sort of bittersweet end to a relationship. because this couple is just...they're still in love. but the kiss serves as an end to the relationship, because they know that the mistakes that were made can't be taken back. yeah, they'll be forgiven eventually...but for now, there'll be no more serious realtionship going on because of what she did. and i think he's feelin like he's havin a hard time forgiving her. so he just lets her go..
i heard about your regrets; i heard that you were feeling sorry; i heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us. but i guess i should've heard of that from you. i guess i should've heard of them from you.
yeah...the girlfriend is feeling sorry about what she did. probably really sorry. and she probably feels pretty stupid too. but then again, she should have that about the outcome of her actions before she actually took those steps. and she made the same mistake again. she didnt tell him directly. she got other people to do it for her. which was a big mistake, because now he most likely doesnt wanna take her seriously now.
i'm waiting for blood to go to my fingers. i'll be alright when my hands get warm.
this shows that even after all she did to him, and after all the crap he's had to go through, he's gonna get back up. it may take a little while, but he'll get there. he's just gotta recover...
ignoring the phone. i'd rather say nothing. i'd rather you never heard my voice.
he doesnt wanna talk to her. not after what she did. because he still loves her. but he's angry with her, or at least upset and he doesnt wanna say something that he'd really regret saying later, because that could just screw up any chances of them even being friends after the fact that their relationship is over.
you're calling too late. too late to be gracious. you do not warrant long good byes. you're calling too late, you're calling too late, you're calling too late....
now actually, i'm having a little trouble with this line here. i think i get the "calling too late" part. by the time she actually wants to set things straight between the two of them head-to-head, he doesnt wanna have anything to do with it. because he already heard it from fifty other people. and she should've already came to him. but the rest of it is a little difficult to make out.
hope you enjoyed it. it's been a really...relevant song this past week or so to me..

the one im waiting for- relient K
verse 1:
the way that girl can break a heart, its like a work of art
now when they say this, they dont mean like shes going up to a guy and putting him down, but she is so beautiful and awesome, that a lot of guys like her, but she doesnt like them, leaving them heartbroken
and this is the worst part, she knows it
this girl knows a lot of guys like her, and i dont believe this means shes conceited, but shes that great that she even knows it
and shes so confident, shes what everybody wants
if a guy were to stereotype the girl he wanted, this is her
but nobody wants, her to know that
this is simply stating that guys like to hold these feelings back. guys dont normally blab it to the world like girls do lol.
so fall back on all of your premonitions, and just learn to listen, to those that have more wisdom than you
a lot of times when u have a crush on someone, you think one things going to happen, but usually the people around you telling what you should do in this situation are right.
and just stop putting so much stock in all of this stuff, live your life for those that you love
a lot of times these girls may be soo perfect, but theyre not worth putting so much of your time into liking them, there are other friends that you should think about that you are very lucky to have and should not dwell on someone whos not even yours yet
chorus:
im still waiting for, you to be the one im waiting for
this is kind of a "pardon the pun" sorta thing. the one your waiting for is obviously that girl that meets all your standards and not only does that, but also likes you back, something rarely found, and can take a lot of waiting.
verse 2:
the way that girl can turn a head, she is such a threat, dont ever forget, she knows it
this is referring to her beautiful physical qualities, and what i take this to mean is that because she can turn so many guys heads to do a double take, its really a risky venture in liking this girl, cuz odds are, shes not going to like you, but there are those rare occasions.....
and shes got it all, all figured out, she wont let you down, she knows it
this is now referring to her beautiful inner qualities. shes got a great personality and she once again realizes this because shes probly been told that a crazy amount of times
chorusX2
repeat verse 1
chorusX2
something tells me that this is gonna make sense
all of the emotions your going through in a time like this are so confusing to you when your going through it, but you know in the end it will make sense all that happened
something tells me its gonna take patience
whenver you choose to pursue a girl/boy relationships, getting it started can be frusturating, but you have to be patient and trust it will work out in the end
something tells me that this will all work out in the end
even tho you think everythings going downhill, in the end it will work out, and everything will be alright, whether what you thought was going to happen happened or not

the grand opening
ahh yes...another zack and baca blog project. we like to call this one...."Lyrically Correct." this blog will be used to take lyrics, whether they be the whole song or just parts of a song, and basically "evaluate" them. more like, apply them to our lives. or try and figure out what those lyrics really mean. because lyrics in songs, though most people say they may just 'ignore' the lyrics, are really important. and if you really listen to pretty much any song, there's always a deeper meaning. so this is our job. to figure out that meaning. or to just apply it to our lives, and say what it means to us personally. either way works for me...
