Swords and Pens Lyrics
Shovel the coal in this fire, ignite and conspire
Still doesn't mean that I'm not in your head
I'm falling in and out again
Slipped up and cared too much again
I must wake up, move on and mend
Instead of wasting so much time here
Cause I've grown up only to hate my own bed
I figure I'll just sleep when I'm dead
Despite what you heard I know what I said
I understand it was harsh but guess what?
I'm falling in and out again
Put yourself in my place for just one day
Watch all the colors in your spectrum fade grey
More aware than ever that I might never be calm again
And it shakes every fucking bone
Trying to do the right thing on my own
So I let the ink tell you how
I come to grips with all of this
I'm getting too old for this
What do you know, my shoes are my own
Tread the granite till you find
Some kind of place to call home
Put yourself in my place for just one day
Watch all the colors in your spectrum fade grey
More aware than ever that I might never be calm again
And it shakes every fucking bone
Trying to do the right thing on my own
So I let the ink tell you how
I come to grips with all of this
We're never gonna be the same again
Bury me I'm not your friend
You have your sword, I've got my pen
Measuring might is a means to an end
We're never gonna be the same again
Bury me I'm not your friend
Not broke, just bent.

@connorkenway271 4 жыл бұрын

Maaan I really tought the same thing. The Story So Far has been the soundtrack of all my teenage years and it's crazy how I once related to the lyrics that much. Now, looking back at all the old comments, I see how much we grew up. It's a really weird melancholy

i think the meaning behind the song is about people judging you and acting like they know you when they don't even know what you're about or what you're going through. "What do you know, my shoes are my own, tread the granite till you find some place to call home" and the person who wrote the lyrics responds by being mature &using it as motivation to write song lyrics "It shakes every fucking bone, to do the write thing on my own, so i let the ink tell you how i come to grips with all of this"

Screamo is a subgenre of hardcore punk which predominantly evolved from emo, among other genres, in the early 1990s. The term "screamo" was initially applied to a more aggressive offshoot of emo that developed in San Diego in 1991, which used short songs that grafted spastic intensity to willfully experimental dissonance and dynamics. The genre experienced a popularity boost in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
