Emery "We Do What We Want"
From sailing in shallow seas to listening to Freddie Mercury, studying politics, or disguising mistakes with goodbyes, among other things they follow this motto: We Do What We Want. It starts screaming like a banshee caught in "The Cheval Glass" and then when the clean vocals arrive they are backed by a music box. When playing with "Scissors" you must be careful, and watch your mouth, or your vocal cords. This track seems to focus more on harmonious sound, and the screaming is not as unnerving or jarring as the last track. The subject is serious, scary, and "My hands are shaking and they won't stop, as the world becomes a hospital room/I am not the one to ever disappear, but it's over now (over now)/Say it for the last time, one last time/I want to let go of this world for you" Would that be leaving this world of suicidal temptation? I'm not sure,but I always wondered why suicide was a sin, and then it hit me. Despite "The Anchors" found in the next arrangement, it still manages to blast full steam ahead. As the first verses are sung it sounds as if a mass has begun to guide us as we fall under the "Curse of Perfect Days," it sounds paradoxical don't you think? When Head screams, it sounds like Jacoby Shaddix at first. The final line sung rings so true, and is something many people can agree with: 'I want so much more in this life.' Many people work hard for the money they earn, not just to sustain life, but to better themselves and/or bring them to a better place (financially or mentally). Sometimes they do so without actually living life,but living through it; that this next raise will make life better but then they do nothing after the fact it happens (they still DON'T LIVE life), and maybe that is what that last line means. They thought they were happy with that life because they were happy, but if a life is only lived for oneself down the line it will lose it's shimmer and feel like nothing; no matter how great a time was had. "You Wanted It" and you got it..they came screaming right at the get-go. Maybe it was all those lies that they were talking about in the last song; that they were happy with their life, and now they realize they're not. The instrumentals,breakdowns, and rounds that are found in this song are something that "I wanted, I wanted, I wanted, I wanted this," or enjoyed it. "I'm Not Here For Rage I'm Here For Revenge (More Than Your Hook Up)" with "Daddy's Little Peach." The former is a relationship song where the boy is in love with the girl, but she was just using him; he was played, and so was the final guitar riff, well. The arrangement of the latter is that of almost like a lullayb that hits rough patches during a hooky yet jagged chorus. No, Emery "You're so unoriginal, it would have never worked." I'm surprised you have a disc marking Ten Years. I guess "I'm Addicted to Bad Decisions." I usually try to avoid saying, but sometimes I write, things I shouldn't. SOme of the first lines hit me hard "If I could just kill myself/Would it also kill the remorse?," and reading the rest I say the majority of them are something I can relate to. I don't like to drink, so I don't really relate to that part, but If "I Never Got To See The West Coast" I wouldn't be too disappointed, or at least I don't think so.I must say that instead of falling asleep with these last two songs I find them to be a powerful pair of earmuffs, and you can try to "Fix Me," but I thin I'm more so misunderstood; can reliate to the lyrics in this song too.My Favorites: Scissors,The Curse of Perfect Days, You Wanted It, Daddy's Little Peach, I Never Got To See The West Coast, and Fix Me
