We saw the western coast.
I saw the hospital.
Nursed the shoreline like a wound.
Reports of lover's tryst,
Were neither clear nor descript.
We kept it safe and slow.
The quiet things that no one ever knows.
So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.
So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.
I contemplate the day we wed.
Your friends are boring me to death.
Your veil is ruined in the rain.
By then you I can do without.
There's nothing new to talk about.
And though our kids are blessed,
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame.
So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.
So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.
I lie for only you,
And I lie well...
Hallelu...
I lie for only you,
And I lie well...
Hallelu.
So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.
So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.

vocal [b]This song is the best song ever made! My favourite song Brand New is the best band ever! Yay for Brand New and The Quite Things !
Though all songs by Brand New is on my top favourite songs. Its not ONE song of Brand New that I dislike!
And I'm from Norway, a country many of u Brand New lovers never heard of. That explains alot of how good Brand New is!
no. no. no.
this song is about divorce, or a break up at least, caused by cheating. the video has nothing do do with the song.
tryst:
–noun 1. an appointment to meet at a certain time and place, esp. one made somewhat secretly by lovers.
he's not meeting his girlfriend, he's meeting someone else at a hotel. that's the quiet thing his girlfriend will never know. he doesn't even like his girlfriend. that's why he's dreading "the day they wed." and the chorus is him dying to tell her what he can never tell her, that he doesn't have any feelings for her. he can do without her, there's nothing new to talk about, he's bored with her, etc. "i lie for ohly you, and i lie well." come on now, do you people even read the lyrics?
Deja Entendu is my favorite album ever. This is probably the most popular song from the album since it was a single. I believe the other single was Transit Gloria...Glory Fades.
If you haven't heard the whole album, I recommend you do. It is amazing.
This song is so great.. It is about commintment and marriage.. The video is a metaphor for the whole concept of a relationship comparing the end of a relationship to a victom of a car crash. The chorus "Keep the Blood in your Head, Keep your feet on the ground" is basically saying stay clear of relationships and don't rush into commintment if you are not ready because you will ultimately get hurt. If a car were to crash and you were to get hurt bad you might get yanked in the air through the winshield thus causing a head wound {keep the blood in your head} this song also deals with the concept of rushing into marriage so many times people are forcced into marriage because of a pregnancy (All though the kids are blessed parents let them shoulder all the blame} or other reasons.. At first they think it's a good idea but then realize it's not (I contemplate the day we wed, your friends are boring me to death} This song is pure genious my all time favorite
The wedding veil traditionally symbolises a wife's submission to her husband, her virginity, her innocence and modesty. saying it is "ruined in the rain" is saying that her innocence was a casualty in the "storm" that was the break up of their marriage and she is no longer an "innocent virgin" as it were. He is desperate to tell her he doesn't love her but feels guilty for ruining her veil. The video is a great interpritation as, like someone has previously said, the break up of a marriage is like a car crash, not a nice thing to happen, damaged beyond repair and causes great heartache to not just the victims but their "kids" aswell.
