We Don't Go There Anymore
Crazy Arm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm feeling so tired
I take my orders from the sun
It decrees my desires
I don't care where I fall
When the wind shakes on my window
I'm happy doing nothing at all
The war has only just begun
But my last shot has been fired
I'll never fight for anyone
Not my style to kneel before the empire
With a blindfold where
There should be a cause
Not my place to sit here in judgement
So I'm waiting for that empire to fall
Fly the flag and rise to shine
Break the rules and bring them home to burn
Sing in time or stay behind
I will always use the things I learn
To be smart and I learn to be small
The night has only just drawn in
And I'm feeling so cold
I get my orders from within
But I never seem to do what I am told
And I don't care where I go
When the wind blows right through me
I'm happy walking fast or running slow
Fly the flag and rise to shine
Break the rules and bring them home to burn
Sing in time or stay behind
I will always use the things I learn
To be smart and I learn
Coming home to be near you again
Oh I'm staying hear to be near you again
The steepest hills make for the greatest views
You got to feel the pain to sing the blues
The fear of death is hanging in my room
I'll sit and wait with open arms for you

The day has only just begun
Although it's early, I'm already worn out
And I'm feeling so tired
I'm exhausted
I take my orders from the sun
I base my actions on the natural world
It decrees my desires
It decides what I want
I don't care where I fall
I'm not afraid of the consequences of my actions
When the wind shakes on my window
I pay attention to the elements
I'm happy doing nothing at all
I don't need to be productive to feel content
The war has only just begun
Conflict has begun, but I'm finished fighting
But my last shot has been fired
I've done my part and won't participate further
I'll never fight for anyone
I won't sacrifice myself for a cause I don't believe in
Not my style to kneel before the empire
I won't submit to authority
With a blindfold where
Without a clear purpose
There should be a cause
I need a reason to fight
Not my place to sit here in judgement
I'm not responsible for making decisions for others
So I'm waiting for that empire to fall
I'm hoping for social change and revolution
Fly the flag and rise to shine
Be bold and proud of who you are
Break the rules and bring them home to burn
Challenge the status quo and create change
Sing in time or stay behind
Keep up with the beat of society or fall behind
I will always use the things I learn
I make the most of what I've experienced
To be smart and I learn to be small
I stay humble and curious
The night has only just drawn in
It's early evening and already chilly
And I'm feeling so cold
I'm shivering and uncomfortable
I get my orders from within
I follow my intuition
But I never seem to do what I am told
I follow my own path, not someone else's
And I don't care where I go
I'm not picky about my surroundings
When the wind blows right through me
I feel connected to the air and the environment
I'm happy walking fast or running slow
I enjoy moving at my own pace
Coming home to be near you again
The comfort of being in a familiar place
Oh I'm staying hear to be near you again
I want to stay where I'm needed and appreciated
The steepest hills make for the greatest views
Challenges provide opportunities for growth
You got to feel the pain to sing the blues
Hardship and sadness lead to great art
The fear of death is hanging in my room
Mortality is always on my mind
I'll sit and wait with open arms for you
I'm prepared to embrace whatever comes my way
