Felony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't change the past, it's all gone
But I will change the future I'll try hard
Step by step and bit by bit, heart by heart
There's a light inside your eyes
I remember the first day I saw this light
I don't know why, I promised to die
She's all alone on this way of mystery
And I hope my soul will turn to see
I can follow her to eternity - we use the flame
Well there's a girl who's sitting there
She takes my hand and tells me that she'll care
She doesn't know, the pain inside my heart
She listens where it's gone and brought it back home
She's been so kind, and in the night I fall, falling
She's been alone in this world
Tonite, tonite, tonite - The sun will rise again
Tonite, tonite, tonite - Nothing will stay the same
The thin ice I'm walking on starts to break
She's the one, I must choose which way to take
All the doubt, it lays back behind
We both are winners and I've opened my mind - open my mind
In Felony's song "Tonite", the lyrics seem to convey an apologetic tone towards a loved one for past mistakes made that cannot be undone. The singer acknowledges that they cannot change the past, but they vow to try and change the future, taking things one step at a time and one heart at a time. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics.
The singer then reflects upon the light they saw in their loved one's eyes the first time they met, and how inexplicably, they promised to die and cry. They recognize the mystery of the path their loved one is on alone but makes a promise to follow them to eternity, and that they will use the flame to guide them both.
The lyrics suggest that a girl comes into the picture, takes the singer's hand, listens intently to their pain, and shows them kindness they've never known before. The singer acknowledges that she's alone in this world but shows them that the sun will rise again, and nothing will stay the same tonight. The song ends with a declaration that the singer's mind is open, and they must choose which way to take with the one they love.

Seriously, it makes a kangaroo court look legitimate. Its like a lot of the other braindead aspects, like prosecutors rigging the system to get wins regardless of evidence or guilt
I mean do you go to church..?! That flies in the face of the very foundations of our country to separate church & state that the founding fathers were very clear on.
Not to mention the MASSIVE amount of criminal abuse inside the church hahaha, which doesn't exactly make it some moral paradigm
Florida is just the armpit of the country
Honestly, once you're out of prison and not a serial killer it makes no sense not to be able to vote, you're still a citizen
It's like the rest
BigSmartArmed
@Murry Bushnell Exactly, force, it's required when lying and criminality is normalized by an entire section of society, and it's normalized to subjugate and exploit all others in all societies.
You are not trying to be nice, judging by your interaction you are not a human, you are either a bot or an NPC, and that's why you don't even react to being questioned about your humanity.
To a living, breathing human, questioning of ones humanity is the greatest concern because there is nothing more valuable to be cherished and cared for then humanity.
To you that concept doesn't even exist, you just keep repeating lies, you are not behaving as a human.
And that's the point, with non-hum ans it doesn't matter what any given topic is, the method and goal is always the same - lie lie lie lie, gaslight humans into submission to the lie, and when that fails, force is deployed.
As a human I reject your lies, I choose truth and freedom, therefore I accept the terms of direct force.
So that's it, your lies don't work, your gasligting does not work, and your force is met with force.
Feel free not to respond, I won't be, I'm muting this.

So I'm from Florida. I have a story about Rick Scott that has nothing to do with this. I will be casting a vote for changing this idiotic law.
I'm on deployment now as part of a Florida National Guard field artillery unit. Before we left Rick Scott came to shake all of our hands. It seemed nice of Governor Skeletor to do... except when you remember that it's an election year, and that he did it during a point where we were supposed to be spending time with our families before we left. We were annoyed but took it for what it was. He went around shook everyone's hands, made some small comment, then got to me.
Skeletor: tries to pronounce my name and fails
Me: Corrects him
Skeletor: That's an interesting last name, where's it from?
Me: It's Japanese, it's my husband's
Skeletor: *Upon realizing I'm gay gets extremely flustered and walks on
It was the most hilarious way to start this deployment, and brightened an otherwise depressing day. Still on this deployment and it's talked about by my battle buddies to lighten our moods.

Xeno Phon idk what this guy actually did...
But you clearly don't know what felony robbery is.. Dude probably was high on something, went into a store barely able to stand and was belligerent to the cashier before swiping a fifth and drinking it in the store..
Yes that counts as felony robbery since the theft was committed in the victims presence and "threatening behavior" was used.
Does that really mean the man was anything other than intoxicated. Now he's gone through rehab and can act civil in court while blatant bs is being thrown at him by a racist pos.
The point of our penal system is rehabilitation. What more does this dude have to do to deserve to be able to pick who represents his beliefs and best interest?
I hope you get pulled over on a doctor prescribed medication and get a felony dui so you can bitched at out of context and lose all right to representation. People convicted of dwi should be hung so the people they would've killed can live. I don't give a fuck if it was blood pressure medication, allergy relief, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen. Dwi is dwi just like felony robbery is a horrible violent crime. Thank fuck for Rick Scott.

For what its worth in Australia this is how it works.
Voting is compulsory, even inmates in prison if the sentance is shorter than 3 years.
Sentances longer than 3 years you are barred from voting until release.
Full voting is required once released like any other adult citizen.
The only other 2 things that stop voting are "not in sound mind", ie unable to even comprehend what is taking place.
Or convicted of treason, that is permanent barring no matter the other circumstances.

Is it not weird to anybody else that a Governor is responsible for deciding who can and cannot vote, especially when that decision is based on his own personal opinion.
Hyper-thetical Theoreticals
Absolutely. When someone don't think a person will vote for them, they are not very likely to give that right back. Racist assholes.
Project Pitchfork
@TheUndeadslayer221 Yes it has.
Salvage Monster
Ahhh you do know they don’t have that power right? I mean it would have to go through law makers in house and senate first. Voted on by a majority and then sent to governor to sign. So technically you are wrong. Now if you want it changed start a grass roots and have the law overturned. Because with all the special interest out here. I am sure we need politicians also pandering to Pedophiles, gang bangers, murders and junkies
Silver Salmon
@TheUndeadslayer221 Unlikely, those in power flex that power when formulating laws and legislation, often in their own favour and the detriment of those that they don't like. However that does not mean we should stop pushing for the removal of discriminatory laws/practices. Things will never be perfect, however they can ALWAYS be better. So that is what we must strive for, just continual improvement, sure we would hit roadblocks every now and then, perhaps when a racist is appointed to the highest position of power in the country.... But we cannot stop the resistance because they would not stop the oppression.
TheUndeadslayer221
@Silver Salmon My comment was old... I reread the stats... You right. Systematic Racism is a thing (still... Can it go away already?).

I find it braindead that to legally gain your voting rights back you have to appear before a board that does not work with the legal system.

@Anne A. Lias Nice democracy

I find it braindead that you can get your voting rights back after committing a felony...

Because Florida governors have always been fascist. Now it’s just not being hidden.
