Crazy live performance from MySpace Secret Show
Live at Warped Tour 2006 (Really cool how they just start together mid-story)
Lyrics:
Okay
We were safe, now we're paralyzed
Suspended in flight
At this speed it makes no difference
Where I start and where I end
Or if we're sitting in an emergency aisle
We could be dead, complete the equation
Our names are X and N
We have no value in these calculations
Placed on a plane, pointed straight down
Traveling at 500 feet per second
5000 feet from the ground
How long will it take us to hit
How fast will we start the disintegration
Don't die now, just keep moving
Don't die now, just keep moving
How long will it take us to hit
How fast will we start the disintegration
We could be safe here forever
Floating in the clean blue air
Somewhere between the sun that gives us light and the ground that puts it out
And we'll kneel in the aisles
Press our hands together and close our eyes
Speak these words so softly
To the black box, and it goes:
Mother, father can you hear this?
I want to thank you for all of your sweetness
I'm not coming home, I'm never coming home
About this song:
- The song came out as a combination of what Geoff Rickly and Tucker Rule came up and what Tom Keeley came up with on a GarageBand setup. Full explanation.
- In 2004, the band was on tour with Poison The Well in Australia and were flying to their last show. As they were about to land, about 20 feet from the ground, the plane tipped over to the side. The song is about this near-death experience.
- The song featured on Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam soundtrack.
What are your thoughts on the song?
