| Song lyrics |
If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand.
I hope you find out what you want.
I already know what I am.
And if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again.
And you can tell me how vile I already know that I am.
I'll grow old and start acting my age.
I'll be a brand new day in a life that you hate.
A crown of gold. A heart that's harder than stone.
And it hurts a whole lot, but it's missed when it's gone.
Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not.
I'm glad that you can forgive.
I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget.
If it makes you less sad, I'll move out of the state.
You can keep to yourself. I'll keep out of your way.
And if it makes you less sad, I'll take your pictures all down.
Every picture you paint, I will paint myself out.
It's cold as a tomb, and it's dark in your room,
when I sneak to your bed to pour salt in your wounds.
So call it quits or get a grip.
Say you wanted a solution. You just wanted to be missed.
Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not.
I'm glad that you can forgive.
I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget...
You are calm and reposed. Let your beauty unfold.
Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones.
Spring keeps you ever close.
You are second hand smoke. You are so fragile and thin.
Standing trial for your sins.
Holding onto yourself the best you can.
You are the smell before rain.
You are the blood in my veins.
Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not.
I'm glad that you can forgive.
I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget.

This song is another awesome song on an awesome album
but is it just me, or is the song they chose to give airplay, The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows, not one of the strongest points for the album?
The themes of this song are wonderful, particularly "if it makes you less sad..." That's such a beautiful, desperate summary of a common and horrible situation. When I feel like it addresses me, it stirs up that feeling of guilt, because I shouldn't want him to make me feel better, but also anger, because he shouldn't have done anything to make me feel bad. Similarly the speaker has that combination of misery and duty. Neither party is wrong. The situation is wrong. It's a futility beautifully expressed, and a sentiment I don't think I've heard in song before
the joy of music.
I love music. | 20-07-2004 23:17 katrea | 15 posts

Who would have thought that so much emotion could be placed into a single song, and the results would be this amazing? Seriously, "If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand." Right off the bat Brand New hits you with such a strong quote. Also, no offence to the guys, but they never admit to their mistakes. Well, not normally.. so to think he would like this girl that much ("You are the smell before rain. You are the blood in my veins.") makes me happy and sad at the same time! It's like 100 different emotions hitting me hard all at once! I love it. Well done (once again) Brand New!  | 05-12-2004 22:42 Zanell | 15 posts

I love that song!!!
actually I love all of their songs, they're really meaningful, and this guys got so much talent! it's amazing how they can capture a moment or even an emotion and put it down in paper.
Brand new is my fav band, and i can't believe that I haven't even met anyone who's listened to 'em, let alone like them!!!!!
