About The Day I Tried To Live

"It's about trying to step out of being patterned and closed off and reclusive, which I've always had a problem with. It's about attempting to be normal and just go out and be around other people and hang out. I have a tendency to sometimes be pretty closed off and not see people for long periods of time and not call anyone. It's actually, in a way, a hopeful song. Especially the lines "One more time around/Might get it," which is basically saying .

The Day I Tried To Live Lyrics

[00:46.88] I woke the same
[00:49.75] As any other day except a voice was in my head
[00:57.88]
[01:00.09] It said, "Seize the day
[01:03.52] Pull the trigger, drop the blade and watch the rolling heads"
[01:11.65]
[01:13.88] The day I tried to live
[01:17.03] I stole a thousand beggar's change
[01:20.38] And gave it to the rich, yeah
[01:27.25] The day I tried to win
[01:30.33] I dangled from the power lines
[01:33.67] And let the martyrs stretch, yeah
[01:40.27] Singing one more time around (I might do it)
[01:44.75] One more time around (I might make it)
[01:48.06] One more time around (I might do it)
[01:51.86] One more time around (I might make it)
[01:55.25] The day I tried to live, yeah
[02:05.76] Words you say
[02:08.92] Never seem to live up to the ones inside your head
[02:17.10]
[02:19.29] The lives we make
[02:22.43] Never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead
[02:32.75] The day I tried to live
[02:35.74] I wallowed in the blood and mud
[02:39.28] With all the other pigs, hey
[02:46.03] Singing one more time around (might do it)
[02:50.12] One more time around (might make it)
[02:53.64] One more time around (I might do it)
[02:57.00] One more time around (I might make it)
[03:00.58] The day I tried to live, yeah
[03:10.67] I tried
[03:14.34]
[03:32.62] I woke the same as any other day you know
[03:39.33] I should have stayed in bed
[03:46.13] Eh-hey
[03:50.26]
[03:52.71] The day I tried to win
[03:55.99] I wallowed in the blood and mud
[03:59.11] With all the other pigs
[04:05.63] And I learned that I was a liar
[04:09.07] I learned that I was a liar
[04:12.55] I learned that I was a liar
[04:15.72] I learned that I was a liar
[04:19.03] Singing one more time around (might do it)
[04:23.28] One more time around (I might make it)
[04:26.69] One more time around (might do it)
[04:30.30] One more time around (I might make it)
[04:33.63] The day I tried to live, live
[04:43.27] Just like you
[04:46.57]
[04:49.76] Just like you
[04:53.90]
[04:57.69] One more time around (one more time around)
[05:04.42] One more time around (one more time around)
[05:08.04]
