well i suppose this is it, one of the "big guns" of the new album. amazing song the only known audio so far is from the pour house.
we used to get high together
instead of getting high alone
can't remember the last time i saw you
can't remember the last time we talked
left until the best times
recognize ?????

you were the girl i used to love
because of the shame I associate with my ability
i am broken myself completely
can you heal me right now?
once your mother buried tonight
there were tears in her eyes
was it the words you told me
or the resemblance you shared?

tho it seems that casket so unreal
tho it seems so far away
like the past never happened
like nothing has even changed
with the casket open in front of me
i hear the name but I dont recognize the body
you're the girl i used to love

because the shame I associate with my
i've broken myself completely
can you heal me right now?
when your mother buried you today
with tears in her eyes, was it her words
you paid a resemblance you shared?

in listening to the preacher
couldn't look your husband in the eye
when i met you, i meant it then, im not sure what i owe you now
was it something i said to hurt you i swear it was not my intention
you are the girl i used to love

because of the same i associate with my ability
i've broken myself completly
can you heal me right now
your mother burried you tonight, with tears in her eye
was it her words you paid the resemblance you shared

anyways this is the possibly the most painful lyrics i've seen Tom write since Tonight we're gonna give it and beginning in an ending (really probably that whole EP). an amazing song

discuss please, i'll try getting the lyrics in a little bit

it has to bee about a book, im pretty sure one part talks about noblitly (as in king in queens in the grammar he uses it in)?

I think this is the song they played in Greenville that I thought was about his ex-wife.

This song is SO GOOD.

My God

This and Teenage Anarchist are two of the best songs I have ever heard by Against Me!

I am so stoked for the new album.

it sounds like a song about ex wife, someone who is dead that younger might have loved.... but idk i hear the word noblity and it throws me i could be hearing shit.... IM GOING CRAZY

I hear mobility.

Confusing.

Cause of the shame

my association with ____________

I am nothing but self fulfilling

can you hear me right now?

if you really listen to it i think what he means his that his ex wife died in his heart instead of actually dying

I don't know what it means yet but it is mindblowing.

heres what i think it means: who ever this girl (his ex-wife?) is i think her family disowned her for running off on tom. tom is the husband that she couldnt look at him in the eye while listen to the preacher and left him at the alter. tom thinks he did something to hurt her. and the casket part is maybe about the first time he saw her since the divorce?

here are the lyrics the best i could do. please help me correct them, i listened to the song a ton of times at different speeds in sony sound forge. some parts are un audable due to the quality. heres what i came up with..

i think its the "shame i associate with my nobility," by the way.

it doesnt sound like it tho thats the thing

guys it just came to me!
lol it's
because of the shame i associate with vulnerability!

boom.
problem solved

That makes perfect sense actually.

Kudos sir!
