Smile Empty Soul Lyrics

    ------ About the song Nowhere Kids performed by Smile Empty Soul

I am a middle school teacher, and I just heard this song on my iPod as it was shuffling. I had forgotten it was even there. Anyway, it made me really sad to realize how much it reminded me of many of my students and their parents. I was especially struck by the line: "and what did you expect ... a perfect child
raised by tv sets ... abandoned every mile"

They aren't taking care of their kids, and they expect us to 'fix' them. Often, we are the only adults in their lives who they believe care anything for them. It's sad.

    ------ About the song Silhouettes performed by Smile Empty Soul

Every lyric describes me. And especially my father. He has worked so hard to support our family ane he now has a broken neck, both shoulders torn apart, and 4 stomach hernias, yet he still works to keep us going.. This song is beautiful to me.

    ------ About the song Bottom Of A Bottle performed by Smile Empty Soul

i think this song is whatever you make of it. i didnt think of pills when they mentioned the bottom of a bottle...i too thought of alcohol..since they already mention drugs. but i suppose they could mean pills as well. anyhow, great song...love to drive around and listen to it on repeat :)

    ------ About the song Bottom Of A Bottle performed by Smile Empty Soul

I don't really know if this song is metaphorical at all,
but that's the great thing about music.
People take it for however they need to.

My take is that no matter how bad things can be going,
the little things that make him feel alive is what keeps him going on.
Even though pretty much everything makes you wonder why you keep on,
those little moments make it worthwhile.

As they say in zombieland, rule #32 - Enjoy the little things.

    ------ About the song Every Sunday performed by Smile Empty Soul

who said christians were the only ones sitting in churches or religious temples...i don't think he's singling them out, i think it's just an overall view towards those who do believe going to church covers their asses which is BS...it doesn't. i love smile empty soul!

    ------ About the song Silhouettes performed by Smile Empty Soul

I'm not being insensitive, but it's not this songs fault. You can't be angry because he had it in his Ipod.
Who cares? Just because it is in his ipod, doesn't mean he necessarily relates to it. I like the song Tik Tok by Kesha. Can I relate to that? NO. I like this song, and I CAN RELATE TO IT. BUT I'm NOT going to do bad thing BECAUSE OF IT.

Overall, I'm sorry for your lost.

    ------ About the song With This Knife performed by Smile Empty Soul

This song really helped me a lot through a break up. Now to be honest I can finally say I'm over him :) this song is about more than just love though it could be about a friendship or a death without saying goodbye. Anyways this song is EPIC>!(: I LOVE SMILE EMPTY SOUL....

    ------ About the song This Is War performed by Smile Empty Soul

Clueless,

You are on point! The lyrics to this song are so simple yet powerful. I'm also a combat vet from OIF and OEF. I think the song reflects how so many "kids" get into something through their naivety and come to realize the consequences, along with the inner conflict that comes. Don't get me wrong, I completely agree with your assessment, well stated. There is a battle that goes on inside of all of us Soldiers, especially Christians - the inner conflict runs deep. Like you though I did and would do anything to protect my brothers in arms. I have no regrets.

    ------ About the song This Is War performed by Smile Empty Soul

I have read many of the comments posted and a lot of just don't get the picture. You are correct in saying that this song does not support war. It does show the horrors of war and having to go fight in another country for your own governments reason. However anyone who has joined the armed forces after 9/11 know that we are at war and yet they still join and then complain about having to to. My thoughts are if you don't support what your government is doing then don't freak join the military. And for the other knuckleheads out there, we are not killing people because we are told to. When you get down to the facts and basis of it, we do it for our brothers that are to the left and right of us. Most of you who are posting has never been it that position. Let me tell you that it is a position that I pray none of you have to been in because it is a hard thing to do and to deal with. But when the actions start you are worried about those around you and you suffer through the thoughts and depression of taking a life afterwards. I have been in Iraq 2 and Afghanistan 3 and I do it because of the soldiers that I am around because they are my family not the government!
