Weeds
Life of Agony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you all to know
That I loved you all, you're beautiful
And I had myself a ball
I've wasted so much precious time
Been skating along these fine lines
Now these weeds have grown where the sun once shown
And my life has passed me by
And my life has passed me by
And I don't know why
I keep searching for something that I never found
While these weeds get deeper as I turn around
And time grows older and I've grown colder
So long has passed that I forgot to count
These weeds have grown where the sun once shown
And I can feel it
Today I cut off all the ties
Been led blind for all this time
But somewhere in between the lies
Are the hearts and minds of those who tried
And although I've heard your lies
This space between us
I have to recognize
Is filled with memories that I hold
And I've come to realize
That my time is running thin
And I haven't done a thing
To leave my mark on this old world
Or even make my presence known
Now these weeds have grown where the sun once shown
And I can feel it
The lyrics of Life of Agony's song "Weeds" describe a sense of regret and wasted time that the singer is struggling with. The song is a reflection on the past and the singer's awareness that they have not made the most of their time. The opening lines suggest that this could be the end for the singer, and if it is, they want to tell everyone that they loved them and had fun with them. This shows that despite the regret they feel, they still value the present moment and the people around them.
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on the fact that they have spent so much time searching for something that they never found, and now, as time has passed them by, they are left with nothing but regrets. The image of weeds growing where the sun once shone is a powerful metaphor for the singer's sense of loss and disillusionment as they look back on their life. At the same time, there is a sense of acceptance and peace that comes with this reflection. The singer acknowledges that they have not left their mark on the world, but they have memories that they will carry with them.

If tomorrow never shows
In the event that there might not be a tomorrow
I want you all to know
I want to make everyone aware
That I loved you all, you're beautiful
I possessed love for all of you, and you're all amazing
And I had myself a ball
And I had a delightful time
I've wasted so much precious time
I wasted significant moments
Been skating along these fine lines
I've been moving along a risky course
Now these weeds have grown where the sun once shown
Now there are difficulties where there used to be light
And my life has passed me by
And my life has gone by quickly
And I don't know why
And I am unsure of the reason
I keep searching for something that I never found
I continue seeking something that I did not acquire
While these weeds get deeper as I turn around
While things become more difficult as I try to go back
And time grows older and I've grown colder
Time passes, and I have become less compassionate
So long has passed that I forgot to count
So much time has gone by that I no longer keep track of time
And I can feel it
And I can sense the consequences
Today I cut off all the ties
Today I ended all relationships
Been led blind for all this time
I've been misled for a long time
But somewhere in between the lies
But somewhere concealed within the falsehoods
Are the hearts and minds of those who tried
Are the sincere thoughts and feelings of those who attempted
And although I've heard your lies
And even though I've heard your untruths
This space between us
This distance separating us

story time, I was about 10 or 11 years old, loved rock/alternative music. My uncle was drinking in a local bar and met "some guys in a band" that invited him to check out what they were filming in our little long island town. He asked if he could bring me, and low and behold, I ended up being on the set of this very video shoot for hours. They were so nice to me, particularly Alan and Joey Z, Joey hung out with me all day, let me play his guitar. It was an incredible experience I still treasure to this day, as I am almost 40. Those guys didn't have to go out of their way like they did for a young fan, but they were so cool. It inspired me to start my own band that week. We never went too far, but it was a great time.

Great story Dude!! Love when our musical idols stay grounded and real despite having fame & fortune! BTW, do you remember the location, and where was this video shot on Long Island?
I believe the band formed in Queens, NYC.....
@brendanprimus3211
@LIRocker87 I do!! It was an abandoned duck farm in East moriches, a littletown on eastern long Island, those barn like structures they were jamming in were old duck houses!
