good charlotte revival good charlotte is good shit!i really really love their latest effort, good morning revival. the music rocks, and so do the lyrics. i always find their singles good, but i tend not to listen to the rest of the tracks. while keep your hands off my girl was classic good charlotte, the river is something new -- really like that they're putting their faith out overtly on this song. in fact it's a really good anthem to sing where i am (in life) right now. and since good charlotte is about the only music my brother and i have in common, hopefully the meaning behind the lyrics'll rub off a bit on him too, haha. The River by GOOD CHARLOTTE (feat. M Shadows & Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold) As I walk through the valley of the shadow of LA The footsteps that were next to me have gone their separate ways I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things don't always stay that way I've done enough now to know this beautiful place isn't everything they say I heard that evil comes disguised Like a city of angels I'm walking towards the light Baptized in the river I've seen a vision of my life And I wanna be delivered In the city was a sinner I've done a lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I'm trying to find my way back home Baptized in the river I'm delivered I'm delivered (M. Shadows) You're from a small town you're gonna grow up fast underneath big lights Down in Hollywood on the boulevard the dead come back to life To the praying mother The worried father Let your children go If they come back they'll come home stronger and if they don't you'll know They sing that evil comes disguised Like a city of angels I'm walking towards the light Baptized in the river I've seen a vision of my life And I wanna be delivered In the city was a sinner I've done a lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I'm trying to find my way back home Baptized in the river I'm delivered I'm delivered Baptized in the river (on my own) Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered (on my own) (on my own) Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered I confess I'm a sinner I've seen a vision of my life And I wanna be delivered -- and misery sounds like i could've sung the words right out of my mouth in the past. but what makes this song different from other emo songs, i find, is the incongruous juxtaposition of misery's lyrics against its upbeat tunes. man, if misery was this fun, i'd be jumping around too. Misery by GOOD CHARLOTTE Take a look around don't you see it? See that you are the only real face in the room No one here has a clue what you're feeling Don't feel bad, keep your sadness alive Look at all these happy people Living their lives Look at all these plastic people Theres nothing inside Look at all these shallow people Telling their lies Look at all these empty people, people Don't you know that misery loves company Yeah I heard, that misery was looking for me Happiness is a face that don't look good on me Yeah I heard, that misery comes looking for me Wo-Oh, misery's my company Wo-Oh, misery is looking for me Looking for me The hands are up now Everybody's singing, everybody's moving They've programmed their feelings They're synchronizing and criticizing Don't feel bad, keep your sadness alive Look at all these happy people Living their lives Look at all these plastic people They're dying inside Look at all these shallow people Telling their lies Look at all these empty people, people Don't you know that misery loves company Yeah I heard, that misery was looking for me Happiness is a face that don't look good on me Yeah I heard, that misery comes looking for me Woah, misery's my company Woah, misery is looking for me Don't you know this misery loves me Don't you know this misery loves me Don't you know this misery loves me Don't you know this misery loves me Loves me So you're tired of running You're tired of hurting You're tired of living in their lie You're tired of listening You're tired of hurting Keep your sadness alive, alive, alive Don't you know that misery loves company Yeah I heard, that misery was looking for me Happiness is a face that don't look good on me Yeah I heard, that misery comes looking for me Don't you know, misery loves company Yeah I heard, that misery was looking for me Happiness is a face that don't look good on me Yeah I heard, that misery comes looking for me Woah, misery's my company Woah, misery is looking for me |
