Flicker, Fade Lyrics
I'll love you just the same
And if you should run away
I would save your place
so you can go, go, go
if you want to
I wouldn't try and stop you
I couldn't say I blame you
Destroy what you create
And wonder why it always ends the same
you wonder why it always ends the same
About fire and sex you love
I couldn't tell you why
Why I did it, why I lied
I know it's wrong, wrong, wrong
It's evil but true
It's what I want to make you
(so I can say I blame you)
So I can say I blame you
Destroy what you create
And wonder why it always ends the same
Flicker flicker fade
Destroy what you create
And wonder why it always ends the same
You wonder why it always ends
You wonder why it always ends the same
Like you're not in control,
Like you're playing a role.
You live your life
Like you're not in control
Like you're playing a role.
(Convince me)
(Convince me)
You wonder why it always ends
(Destroy what you create)
Wonder why it always ends
It always ends the same
Like you're not in control,
Like you're playing a role that says,
You live your life
Like you're not in control,
Like you're playing a role that says
(Playing a role)
Destroy what you create.
And wonder why it always ends the same.

Sounds like another song about a relationship but how it's deteriorating/fading. The song about fire and sex I assume is Sex On Fire by Kings of Leon, which leads me to believe this song may be about cheating and feeling guilty also. I could be completely off but either way, its nice to have my old TBS back. Here's to the new album!

I love this song. Adam's voice has changed in the past ten years. I worry he's going to lose it because it's gotten so much grittier and he screams notes a lot more, but he's still going. Taking Back Sunday is still going and I think they went through some rough patches, but God...I think they are amazing even more-so now. They got nostalgia tricks up them sleeves...

The chorus sounds like hes describing someone who is well versed in the art of self-sabotage..

Reading the series "Red Rising" by Pierce Brown.. This song makes me think of that. So freaking awesome.
