F(r)iend Lyrics - In Flames
Review The Song (1)
Some men think the most puzzling question is,
why did the world stop?
As they all felt the fire
They turned me into an outsider
I never heard from them again
So ironic when you called for a favor today
It's always easy to judge
But takes a lot to be specific
'cause as you preach you're opening the door
To your egos past
There was a day when I could forget
I could forgive but those days are gone
I see them fade
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day
I learned to mute the anger
I never thought I would be there again
A moment, a dead end
I lost myself in here
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day
I ran as I saw the end
Should I have joined the fight instead?
Hope you are listening
'cause now times have changed
I take a look around
Say this moment's mine
Flee all the weak minds
Feel my missed hidden rage
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day
why did the world stop?
As they all felt the fire
They turned me into an outsider
I never heard from them again
So ironic when you called for a favor today
It's always easy to judge
But takes a lot to be specific
'cause as you preach you're opening the door
To your egos past
There was a day when I could forget
I could forgive but those days are gone
I see them fade
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day
I learned to mute the anger
I never thought I would be there again
A moment, a dead end
I lost myself in here
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day
I ran as I saw the end
Should I have joined the fight instead?
Hope you are listening
'cause now times have changed
I take a look around
Say this moment's mine
Flee all the weak minds
Feel my missed hidden rage
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day

Even though the song is heavier and less melodic than most In Flames, (and I'm irritated he does a metalcore scream on the chorus instead of the badass deep growl he does for the chorus live), this is lyrically one of my favorite In Flames songs.
Yeah, this is probably the one song that expresses the feelings you get when your friends shift away from you because they're not comfortable with who they are. I mean a lot of people have felt that, they really are becoming an outsider as their friends get closer to each other but you, forgetting who you are. Then one day they come crawling back, because you stayed on the right path. After all, it's really easy to just label someone, but when you press further you realize they don't have a reason, they can't really say why they're judging, and maybe they don't want to, maybe they'll realize they're not any better. So they don't. I guess this just kind of builds up over time and you can't handle it, what do you do? Do you try to fight them and make them see the world right? Do you let those friends who turned you into an outsider back into your life and help turn the tide of the uncaring judgementalness the world is drifting towards in the callous modern society? Or do you run from it all because you just can't deal with that any more and live life for yourself, maybe more alone than you'd like, away from who you'd rather leave behind?
This is why I love In Flames, I hope everyone else sees this and understands the beauty of these lyrics.
