I'm packed and I'm holding,
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden and
she lives for me, She says she lives for me,
Ovation, She's got her own motivation,
she comes round and she goes down on me,
And I make her smile, It's like a drug for you,
Do ever what you want to do, Coming over you,
Keep on smiling, what we go through.
One stop to the rhythm that divides you,
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse,
Chop another line like a coda with a curse,
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage.
We give them the games we play, she said,
I want something else, to get me through this,
Semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say, Good-bye.
The sky it was gold, it was rose,
I was taking sips of it through my nose,
And I wish I could get back there,
Some place back there,
Smiling in the pictures you would take,
Doing crystal myth,
Will lift you up until you break,
It won't stop,
I won't come down, I keep stock,
With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop,
And then I bumped up. I took the hit I was given,
Then I bumped again,
And then I bumped again.
How do I get back there to,
The place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to,
The place where you said,
I want something else to get me through this,
semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say, good-bye.
I believe in the sand beneath my toes,
The beach gives a feeling,
An earthy feeling,
I believe in the faith that grows,
And the four right chords can make me cry,
When I'm with you I feel like I could die.
And that would be all right
(???)
I want something else,
To get me through this life,
baby, I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say,
good-bye, good-bye, good-bye...
GOOD-BYE !!!
The lyrics SEMI-CHARMED LIFE of FOUR YEAR STRONG is also present in the album Explains it all (2009)
Four Year Strong è una band americana di melodic hardcore originaria di Worcester, Massachusetts. Formatasi nel 2001, il gruppo è composto da Dan O'Connor e Alan Day (vokalisti e chitarristi), Joe Weiss (bassista), Josh Lyford (tastierista e cori) e Jackson Massucco (batteria). Considerati uno dei pilastri del movimento emo-hardcore degli anni 2000, Four Year Strong si distingue per la combinazione di riff energici, melodie orecchiabili e testi introspettivi che affrontano temi come l'adolescenza, le relazioni e la ricerca di identità. Tra i loro brani più rappresentativi figurano "It Must Feel So Good to Be a Gangster", "Famous Last Words" e "The Latest Mistake". L'album "Rise or Die Trying" (2007) ha segnato un punto di svolta nella carriera della band, raggiungendo il successo mainstream e consolidando la loro posizione nel panorama musicale alternativo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
