Resolvent Feelings
For the Fallen Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say we wouldn't be together If It weren't for you
Well, It's not for you I'm trying to let myself breathe
I'm done feeling misused
Release this grip you have on me
Let me free
Just let me free
Pick and choose what you're trying to prove
I will not take the verbal abuse I will not be damaged, or bruised
Here we go again
It's the same old thing
It's all been done before I wanna be happy
I wanna be free but It's hard to leave when this Is comfortable to me we go
Around, and around again
There's nothing left to say
These problems never go away you've recreated situations In your head that
Have never happened
For the sake of us, believe.
Why does this happen time, and time again
It makes me gringe
Same old langsyne put aside all of your problems, your problems,
I don't care how you solve them
You solve them
And I can't stop you...
For the sake of us believe, yeah from feelings how you do
Push aside all your problems
Don't throw me with them
I will not be your resolution when dealing with my own problems how will I
Resolve them when I'm dealing with yours too
You've forced me to leave!
The lyrics of For the Fallen Dreams' song "Resolvent Feelings" revolve around a toxic relationship filled with constant arguments and verbal abuse. The singer is trying to break free from the grip their partner has on them and wants to find happiness and freedom. The partner, however, is too stubborn and unyielding, creating situations in their head that have never happened and refusing to acknowledge their own problems. The singer comes to the realization that they cannot be the solution to their partner's issues while also dealing with their own, and the only option left is to leave.
The first two lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The arguing in circles portrays an endless cycle of conflicts and disputes that never get resolved. The partner's statement that they wouldn't be together if it weren't for them reveals a sense of entitlement and control over the relationship. The singer does not want to feel misused anymore and desires to be free from their partner's suffocating grip. However, the fear of the unknown and the comfort they find in familiarity make it difficult to leave.
The second verse expresses the singer's frustration with their partner's refusal to solve their own problems and the expectation that the singer will be the one to solve them. The partner's problems have become a burden on the singer's life, and they feel powerless to resolve their own issues while dealing with their partner's. The singer's final plea for their partner to believe in them for the sake of the relationship falls on deaf ears, resulting in the only viable option of leaving.

I always loved how Dylan and the band mixed core with his punk chorus type cleans. Its just refreshing and gives body to a sound that can become so redundant. Im not saying their sound isnt good now cause it is. I just appreciate Dylan and the sound he brought more.

@jdm tysm bro, You do my day 👍🏽
jdm
exactly how i feel, i still fuck with Chad i liked a lot of the "six" album but dylans presence on a song just brings a totally different vibe. Btw Dylan just dropped a new single with a new band its called "on your own accord" and the band name is "Lost for life" you should check it out
Robby Donaldson
Appreciate Dylan sounds in the band. Stoked that he is local now where I live doing what his passion is. Tattoo artist and owning his own shop.
Britain Buxton
I honestly think Dylan is one of my favorite vocalists of all time. His voice is just amazing. Maybe it's a personal thing but sad that he left the band :/

Thumbs up if you actually liked Wasted Youth as well as their previous stuff.
Sean Paul
I still come back to this song after all the years of listening to them..absolutely beautiful.!

I think Relentless was their best work. But did you know only 2 members of the band contributed to Changes? Andrew Tkaczyk and vocalist Chad Ruhlig. Tkaczyk exclusively performing bass and guitar in their entirety while Ruhlig handled all vocal duties. The drums were programmed by Joey Sturgis. I think Relentless had good balance with the melodies and heavy stuff

Hands down, this is seriously one of the best bands I've ever heard in a very and great long time. I hope they keep it up because I love every song off the new album. Stay metal! \m/
Kyle F
I really enjoy this entire album, all of the albums are great. Keep it up.
