So I got in to a petty argument with my friend over the song "Head for the Hills" by Saves the Day.
He interprets the song as emo whereas I interpret it as just a regular punk rock song.
My argument is that he talks about how his life sucks, but then he talks about getting revenge. Emo kids wouldn't really talk about revenge they'd just be like "OH GOD YOU SCREWED ME OVER /WRISTS"
(You may recognize this song from the Madden '07 soundtrack; it's a pretty good song)
Well, do you agree with me or do you not!? and why!?
Saves the Day - Head for the Hills
Burning a door in the back of my mind
Lying alone in the morning
I feel like swallowing my eyes
I walk around the house until
My feet begin to bleed
Still I can't forget somehow
I'm dying in the darkness of my mind
I dream I'm setting fire to everything in sight
If I die tonight and go to Hell oh well
On that hill I see you
Cut off my legs and you tell me to walk
Slit my own throat when you say I don't gotta be swallowing your lies
And I recall you asked about the one you used to know
I know him now
Drowning in the darkness of my mind
I dream I'm setting fire to everything in sight
If I die tonight and go to Hell oh well
On that hill I see you
My heart is burning black
My bones are cold and cracked
The venom flushed out my veins
And if you ever knew what I'm dreaming of
You would head for the hills
You'd better head for the hills
You'd better head for the hills
Drowning in the darkness of my mind
I dream I'm setting fire to everything in sight
And if I die tonight and go to Hell oh well
On that hill I see you
EDIT: DL the song and listen to it. It will aid in your decision.
