PO: Underoath - The Changing of Times / They're Only Chasing Safety - Out 10/2


Recommended Posts

Its a simple question, excuse me for asking. I kinda figured they wouldnt but it doesnt hurt to ask, even if you think its a stupid question.

sorry, i wasn't trying to be a dick. i just don't get it. but even if there was some strange reason the band/label decided to only put a lyric insert in the hot topic version (as opposed to the version on their website), i highly doubt travis would even know about it, as he didn't commission this release like he did the thrice and thursday reissue. he's just getting them put in stores.

by the way, if you guys don't know what the lyrics are, here you go!

1. Young And Aspiring

So lets not even try... you're right.

Let's ball it up and throw it out the window. It's becoming all so clear

In my mind.

I've thought this thing through more like once or twice. I feel that this

Is my last request to you.

Hold your breath.... bottle it up and save it for the next one. It's safe

To say we've been riding this

All night. None of this will ever change your mind. It's never safe to

Rely on borrowed

Time. Now we're both undone, and it's time to open

Up your eyes.

Consequence, it's our need in times like these.

Feeling free... it's our modern disease. Your a classic disaster, with a

Knack for losing your

Exterior. (I'm so sick)... from staring at the mirror.

This all needs a break from you, and I'm used to this.

I fear that I am just an end.

So you play the mistaken... and I'll play the victim in our screenplay of

Desire... I'm still writing the letters

I'll never send.

Running in circles I can't forget how many times

I've played this in my mind.... feeling free, feeling free.

Consequence, it's our need in times like these.

Feeling free... it's our modern disease. Your a classic disaster, with a

Knack for losing your exterior. (I'm so sick)... from

Staring at the mirror.

This is my panic... This is my call to arms.

2. A Boy Brushed Red.... Living In Black And White

Can you feel your heartbeat racing?

Can you taste the fear in her sweat?

You've done this wrong

It's too far gone

These sheets tell of regret

I admit that I'm just a fool for you

I am just a fool for you

Here is where we both go wrong

Tonight's your last chance to

Do exactly what you want to

And this could be my night

This is what makes me feel alive

Makes you feel alive

Here is where we both go wrong

So sign me up

And toss this key

'Cause for now we're

Living in this moment

And we both ignore the truth

Its all over

Its all over

I feel your heart against mine

So take a breath and close your eyes

[chorus]

Your lungs have failed and they both stopped breathing

My heart is dead and its way past beating

Something has gone terribly wrong

I'm scared, you're scared, we're scared of this

I never thought we'd make it out alive

I never told you but its all in your goodbyes

It's all in your goodbyes

Well look who's dying now

Slit wrists sleeping with the girl next door

I always knew you were such a sucker for that

It doesn't matter what you say

You never mattered anyway

Never mattered anyway

In this moment that we both ignore the truth

It's all over

It's all over

I feel your heart against mine

So take a breath and close your eyes

[chorus]

Don't shake, I hate to see you tremble

Trembling you've lost your touch

Haven't you, I'm so addicted

[chorus]

3. The Impact Of Reason

Prop open the door I can actually see my breath tonight

But that doesn't mean I'm breathing

Crack a smile just for the sake of it

This could take a while

A long while

Silence is golden especially in this case

I'm not too sure that I want it to be this way

Open mouth closed eyes

No words are escaping

It's all a blur

It's too dark to see

Ain't it pretty the way it all streaks together at night

Together at night

I think its time to turn around

I really want to go home tonight

I think its time to turn around

I really want to go home tonight

I feel like this is going nowhere

I feel like this is going nowhere

Try to think of something quick

And trust the direction of the driver

No lights

No signs

I'm at a loss for words

No lights

No signs

I'm at a loss for words

Now conversation sparks

What an easy way to break the ice

Now conversation sparks

What an easy way to break the ice

4. Reinventing Your Exit

It's 12th and Hide on a Sunday

Feeling like we're gold

And we're nothing short of invincible

It starts again

Can you feel it?

It takes your breath away

Stop saying that we're invincible

(it's round and round)

You're uninviting, unrewarding

And I'm misinforming you

We all want to be somebody

Right now we're just looking for the exit

This is the way I would have done things

Up against the wall

You've got me up against your wall

It's you and me on a Monday

The lies that we told

This is were we both go numb now

You broke my heart again this time

You're fading now, you crossed the line

We all want to be somebody

Right now we're just looking for the exit

This is the way I would have done things

Up against the wall

You've got me up against your wall

Reaching out for a hand that's not there

But you're not there and I'm not

This is the way I would have done things

Up against the wall

This is the way we should have done

When we're up against a wall

Up against a wall

5. The Blue Note

6. It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door

I've been up at this all night long

I've been drowning in my sleep

I've prayed for your safe place

And its time for us to leave

Time is running, its running on empty and the gas is running out

I've decided that tonight is the night

That I set love aside

Full speed ahead this seems to be the place

I've seen this once before

Planned perfection sought in my dreams

Hoping this would take you home

My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

So kiss me one last time

Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow

The people will all gather

To remember such a day

Where the flames grew as high as trees

And the world stopped for you and me

My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

Kiss me one last time

(Shut your eyes)

My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

(so hold on tight)

Kiss me one last time

(Shut your eyes)

I will now bring new meaning to the word alone

Endless nights of dreaming of life

And the days we should have spent here

Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my sleep

Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my sleep

Glass shatters and comes to a halt

I thought we'd be there by now

I thought it would be so much quicker than this

Pain has never been so brilliant

I made sure you were buckled in

Now you can walk hand in hand

Hand in hand with him

My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

Kiss me one last time

(Shut your eyes)

My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

(so hold on tight)

Kiss me one last time

(Shut your...)

7. Down, Set, Go

I had the whole world in my hands, but I gave it away...

I had the whole world in my hands, but I gave it away...

Gave it away.

I'm a half-wit boy, cracking a smile and wearing it all on my sleeve.

So cool and so poised

It's true, I'm just around to see

Where this thing goes

I'll never know, but all I know is

Packing Bags is a remedy

It's a remedy

This time I'll be nervous 'cause I can't see your hands

In front of me... (in front of me...)

Tonight, I've spoken.

Lets forget all pretense of what they thought we should be

What liars we can be

I'm on my way to the top of the world,

And I've got a feeling I'll give it away.

I'm on my way to the top of the world,

And I've got a feeling I'll give it away.

Shes a maverick, shes so smooth...

If things go according to plan, I'll have her finished by five A.M.

There's no changing plans, there's no second chance,

I've already got both feet through the door

And I can taste the air, I can taste the air.

This time I'll be nervous 'cause I can't see your hands in front of me

(In front of me tonight)

Let's forget all pretense of what they thought we should be

What liars we can be.

Make a sound, it's safe for you,

To choke in here alone

Whatever I say goes (whatever I say goes)

Whatever I say goes (whatever I say goes)

You're not here with me, you're not here with me

You're not here with me, you're not here with me

You're not here with me, you're not here with me

You're not here with me, you're not here with me

8. I Don't Feel Very Receptive Today

This door has been shut for days

And it's all too familiar

Can't I just crack a window

Can't I just shake it off?

I'm sure I've tasted this before, before, before...

I'm sure I've tasted this before...

Everything is out of reach

And I just want to see outside

The air (the air) has been getting thin

I feel like cutting it open tonight, tonight

And falling on the floor

There's nothing left unused in here

There's nothing left to say

I haven't talked in days

And I'm really not too sure

What I sound like anymore

My vision has gone and my mouth is full, is full of sores

I feel like dripping it dry tonight

Over and over again

It's time (it's time) to open up the door

9. I'm Content With Losing

Like I said; "leave your baggage at the back door."

Where I'm leaving you the way I think it should be.

We're always pulling into spaces (that we can't back out of)

Starting fight we can't talk our way out of them

(talk our way out of this)

Talk our way out of this.

How does it feel to be on the receiving end of this one?

Of this one?

I'm half way there,

(and its all on me)

This is what I get for wanting more,

For wanting more.

This is the way it has to be

Dancing on all these changes

So I walk around with this rope in my hand

(rope in my hand)

So I'll tie it around, and around and around.

I'll tie me down.

I'll fantasize of being manic and leaving us behind.

In your eyes, you were the one that tried.

Acceptance is what holds us here

Then you my dear are the one I fear tonight.

We'll try this one more time.

This is the moment that we all live for.

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

I'm half way there,

(and its all on me)

This is what I get for wanting more,

For wanting more.

This is the way its got to be.

Dancing on all these changes

So I walk around with this rope in my hand

(rope in my hand)

So I'll tie it around, and around and around.

I'll tie me down.

You cant see past my waving hands.

(just running away again)

You cant see past my waving hands.

(good-bye)

You think so loud it hurts my ears

I want to know how to get through this

Without choking up

I can't feel you

You're so far from me

This is what I get for wanting more

This is what I get for wanting more

(and its all on me)

This is what I get for wanting more

This is what I get for wanting more

(and its all on me)

This is what I get for wanting more

This is what I get for wanting more

(and its all on me)

10. Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape

I heard a voice through the discord

Of a deluge of passersby.

I saw one gaze frozen in time

Watching me passing by.

I swear I'll know your face in the crowd,

And I'll hear your voice so loud

When you're whispering...

Hey unfaithful I will teach you

To be stronger, to be stronger.

Hey ungraceful I will teach you

To forgive one another.

Here's my kiss to betray

Desperate to brush the lips of grace.

Do you feel hollow when you think of how I've lied?

Oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning

Wrap your loving arms around me.

Oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning

Wrap your loving arms around me.

Hey unfaithful I will teach you

To be stronger, to be stronger.

Hey ungraceful I will teach you

To forgive one another.

Hey unfaithful I will teach you

To be stronger, to be stronger.

Hey unloving, I will love you,

I will love you, I will love you.

Hey unloving

I will love you

Jesus I'm ready to come home.

I listened to The Changing of Times tonight. A few thoughts:

The record sounds good, even though seeing "audiophile collector's edition" all over is stupid. Special edition records in the 70's weren't actually special. They were gimicky as hell.

Aaron's drumming on this record was so good. I've forgotten his talents. I think there are places that just sound incredibly complex and then it's really accessible at times too.

I can see the appeal of adding that keyboard on this record. I still love TOCS, but at the time, I thought they were trying to be more attention-seeking. It's nice to hear these records back to back and see the changes that I overlooked at the time.

SRC did good on this one.

Erm, I don't think SRC pressed it.

Moot, however accurate you are. I honestly meant the way the pre-order was handled and they shipped before several months had passed AFTER preorder was launched (like so many other things). But the way I wrote it, you can't tell that. Suffice to say, I know they didn't press it.

this makes sense. i didnt mean to be rude but its hard to hear tone through the internet. im still learning new things about the vinyl community and the ins and outs. i know sometimes i may ask questions that have a logical answer but im still learning how things work. thank you for explaining, it does seem like common sense.

Man it does kinda seem cheap that there isn't an insert although I mean, c'mon as fast as people are jumping on this, a repress of 8 and 10 year old albums, I'd kinda expect you to know the lyrics lol. I'd honestly only want one just because I really love the artwork for TOCS. Damn though, that collector's edition label is gaudy as hell.

Also entirely late to put my two cents in on this since I always come and go weeks at a time but I would buy anything and everything He Is Legend has put out. Close to the top of my list of bands I want to see pressed. Even if they're dickbags.

I'd only want 91025 and I Am Hollywood. I know it's not happening, but hey, a boy can dream. B007133G! jkjk. :P But yeah, I mean, I know the lyrics, but it'd be nice to have an insert for artistic purposes and to make it seem like a real 'collector's edition'. Bah.
