I've been up at this all night long
I've been drowning in my sleep I've prayed for your safe place And it's time for us to leave Time is running, it's running on empty And the gas is running out I've decided tonight is the night That I let love aside Full speed ahead this seems to be the place I've seen this once before Planned perfection sought in my dreams Hoping this would take you home My knuckles have turned to white There's no turning back tonight Kiss me one last time Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow The people will all gather To remember such a day where the flames grew as high As trees And the world stopped for you and me My knuckles have turned to white There's no turning back tonight Kiss me one last time [Shut your eyes] My knuckles have turned to white There's no turning back tonight [So hold on tight] Kiss me one last time [Shut your eyes] I will now bring new meaning to the word alone Endless nights of dreaming of life And the days we should have spent here Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep [x2 alone] Glass shatters and comes to a halt I thought we'd be there by now I thought it would be so much quicker than this Pain has never been so brilliant I made sure you were buckled in Now you can walk hand in hand with him My knuckles have turned to white There's no turning back tonight Kiss me one last time [Shut your eyes] My knuckles have turned to white There's no turning back tonight [So hold on tight] [x2] Kiss me one last time [Shut your...] |

2 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Ok, u all have come pretty close to the meaning, but ur all wrong, no offense here's how it goes this guy is really in love with his wife, but he realizes he can't love her as much as God does. So he takes her and kills her with a car accedent and now she can walk hand and hand with God and he's waiting to die so he can be with her and Jesus. This isn't just my take on this there is was an interveiw with one of the band members and that's what he said, and i have one of the band members screen name (no i'm not giving it out, he said he doesn't want me to) and he said that, that was right. Hope you all believe me cause i'm right, just look at the words, it'll make sense. Cya |

2 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this song is about a tragic car accident, in which one survived and the other didn't. the surviver is having tropuble letting go but in the end he accepts it. Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow The people will all gather the cross is foreshadowing the person's death "will cast your shadow." it just means that the time has come for this person to go and people are gathering at the sence. To remember such a day where the flames grew as high As trees And the world stopped for you and me means that the car when up in flames "as high as trees". and nothing mattered at that point, it was all about surving the accident. Endless nights of dreaming of life And the days we should have spent here if it wasn't for the accident the person would still be here and he is dreaming of what could have been I'm drowning in my sleep i think he's crying himself to sleep Glass shatters and comes to a halt I thought we'd be there by now I thought it would be so much quicker than this he thinks he should have died too, so in his mind he should already be in heaven Pain has never been so brilliant I made sure you were buckled in Now you can walk hand in hand with him he feels guilty he feels its his fault or that he could have done more, he doesn't understand why. |

1 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal love the song..this is what got me hooked on underoath..he made sure she was buckled in trying to keep her from dying, but she died anyways, so NOW she can walk hand in hand with him, which is referring to jesus i wouldn't do that, i'd ask her who she loved more..not die so she could go out with him |
| | |
5 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i think its about a crash but theres sumthing more to it because he says i made sure u were buckled in now you can walk hand and hand with him so i think he made sure his girlfriend was buckled in so she could go out with some dude she liked idk but anyways love this song |

1 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that we recorded this track at my church here in Florida. That choir in the background is the one that sings for us every Sunday and Wednesday. Sorry... I have a lil pride in that. I got to spend a whole day with the entire Band! |

12 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Definitely an abundance of biblical metaphors in this song. The part about the "cross casting his shadow," and "flames growing as high as trees" is an obvious allusion to Jesus Christ's crucifixion. Terrific ode honoring Christ's sacrificial dying on the cross. Musically, this song is great. Composition is nothing short of amazing. Vocals are excellent. Underoath's very best on [i]They're Only Chasing Safety." T |

13 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal yeah, this song is GREAT. I don't think it's about hitting a tree though. The way I saw it was a collision of 2 cars. "My knuckles have turned to white" it was a head on collision, that was when the headlights were on his knuckles on the steering wheel. and the "I thought it would be so much quicker than this" meaning that he thought it would just be another trip that really wouldn't be a big deal or take very long. the whole song is taking a trip through the experience of this guy who survived a car crash with a loved one. he is up during the night and falling back asleep and drowning in memories (drowning in my sleep) I think that's every time he falls alseep, it goes right back into the nightmare. then in the end he finally accepts the experience "pain has never been so brilliant.....now you can walk hand in hand with him" man, I really LOVE THIS SONG. This is WITHOUT A DOUBT my favorite underoath song. followed closely by A Boy Brushed Red, Living In Black & White |
