    Ok, its 2023 now. This video is sitting at 999K views. I can easily listen to this a thousand times. Heres to marching to one million in 2023.
    Thank you Two Gallants, this track alone has helped me through so much in life.

      This song was done a great disservice by this music video. The lyrics ring true for anyone who's ever been a young man trying (unsuccessfully) to follow the advice of his friends, "get over her by getting under someone else "

    • @9000nin
      @9000nin 2 года назад +1

      @@AndroidOO3 basically it's about a guy who's hooking up for a one night stand with a rebound girl. They both know they're only doing it 'cause they cannot get what they really want and that they, in the end, do not mean anything to each other. So after the act he'd be walking back home, as there is nothing real between them. The guy is recalling the better times, when he didn't have to behave like this (hence he had a soul)

    their recorded stuff doesn't give justice to the ferocity and soulfulness they treat their songs with in the live shows.

    Lyrics
    Well, I guess by the blood stain of your lips
    And the wander of your fingertips
    I should prove true to my emptiness
    And stay here
    Well, I'm just a kid of ill repute
    But the skin I wear is my only suit
    And you, you're just a substitute
    For the one that I hold dear
    You know, you could be anyone
    God forgive my tasteless tongue
    I never should have been set free
    I claw my eyes, I skin my face
    Beg somehow to be replaced
    That's how we deal with boys like me
    Well, I guess for this world so sick with loss
    And your service is so free of cost
    I should climb down off my rugged cross
    And lay with you
    But you know, by now it's half past late
    And I only came here for escape
    You you're just my next mistake
    Like me to you
    You know, you could be anyone
    God forgive your unborn sons
    I hope they don't end up like me
    I drag my mind through streets of shame
    Lay myself forgive the game
    That's how we deal with boys like me
    But despite what you've been told
    I once had a soul
    Left somewhere behind
    A former friend of mine
    And I hate to speak so free
    But you mean nothing to me
    So if the street lights they shine bright
    I’ll get home tonight
    I guess by the dim light in your eyes
    And that to you all things come as a surprise
    I should set the steel trap of your thighs
    And dive right in
    But to you I'm just a confused child
    Insecure or in denial
    Go raise your robes, go have your trial
    I’ll let you win
    You know, I could be anyone
    God forgive what I should've done
    A thoughts enough to guilty be
    Yes, I guess I made this bed
    But I’ll take the sidewalk instead
    That's how we deal with boys like me
    But despite what you've been told
    I once had a soul
    Left somewhere behind
    A former friend of mine
    And I hate to sound so true
    But I mean nothing to you
    So, if the street lights they shine bright
    I’ll be home tonight

    The most deepest and beautiful lyrics I've heard in a very long time. They way it just flow rhythmcally in his voice. I love the trembling in his vioce, like he's delibering a deep heart felt confession.
    "That how they deal with boys like me"

    @sixthlife 17 лет назад

    ya - I would say he's struggling too. But the pictures of the woman that apparently he misses, and the little chest that he can't open until someone (unknown to him, perhaps and angel figure) gives him the key to finally open it. I think it represents his willingness to accept and access his loss of the woman, after a long time of being locked out of himself.
    "The smallest things in life, can be the most rewarding" type of sentiment.
