In vein


My point of reference makes me afraid to begin convincing,
But you might as well just change your name.
'Cause I only recognize this shadow,
Kinda like a superhero with nobody's best interests in mind.

Now there's blood in the waters, that I squeezed from this stone, here
And we turned into our cheap wine.
And I swallowed every drop, yes, I could feel my stomach rotting,
You were so supportive as I drank through the pain.

You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.

Dove off the deep side platform, jack-knifed and bone dry, I hit floor
One broken ankle saved my name.
And this eraser burn, I dig in deep at every turn.
It keeps getting darker and the fear stays the same.

You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place,
don't wanna be the one who takes,
I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.

(Whoa-oh whoa-oh, Whoa-oh whoa-oh oh [x2])

I don't wanna take, I don't wanna take this place, no.
I don't want to take, I don't wanna take this place, no.
No-oh, no-oh. I don't wanna take this place, no.
No-oh, no-oh. I don't wanna take this place, no.

You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place,
don't wanna be the one who takes,
I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Alkaline Trio è una band punk rock americana formatasi a McHenry, nell'Illinois, nel 1996. I membri fondatori erano Matt Skiba (voce, chitarra), Dan Andriano (basso, cori) e Derek Grant (batteria). Inizialmente i tre si guadagnavano da vivere come ciclisti postini, ma presto decisero di dedicarsi completamente alla musica, intraprendendo tour nazionali ed internazionali. Il loro sound è caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, testi introspettivi e un'energia punk rock contagiosa. Tra le canzoni più famose ci sono "Private Eye", "Cringe" e "This Is My Life". L'album di debutto, "Goddamnit", risale al 1998 e ha segnato l'inizio di una carriera ricca di successi. Alkaline Trio è considerata una delle band punk rock più influenti degli ultimi anni, con un seguito fedele in tutto il mondo.
