Hawthorne Heights developed a huge MySpace following that became a catalyst that would launch them from underground to international awareness. The band became regulars on MTV, their signature hit Ohio Is For Lovers the anthem for the new wave of “emo”. Their debut album The Silence In Black And White soon went Gold, and with their second album If Only You Were Lonely, the band scored Victory Records’ biggest ever debut, landing at #3 on the Billboard 200 in 2006. The band appeared on Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Kimmel, and became magazine cover stars, sending sales of The Silence… to Platinum status.
In November 2007, whilst in the midst of legal disputes, tragedy struck within the Hawthorne Heights family. Casey Calvert, the much loved guitarist and resident “screamer” of the band, lost his life while on tour, due to an accidental overdose of medications prescribed by his doctor and dentist, which proved to be lethal combination. The effects on the band were evident, both personally and musically.
On August 5 2008, Hawthorne Heights return with Fragile Future, a brand new album. Although the sound is still distinctly Hawthorne Heights, the music, as with the band, has understandably evolved.
“After spending the last 2 years in a deep dark place, we decided to try to find the bright lights again with Fragile Future,” noted singer J.T. Woodruff. “We, as a band, noticed that everyone has tremendous ups and downs, so we wanted this record to communicate that. We chose the title Fragile Future, because it sums up the current state of our band, as well as what is going on in the outside world. We must all make good choices to create a better situation in our lives.”
"With the loss of Casey, and no plans to replace him, we've had to make some obvious changes to our sound on this record,” added drummer Eron Bucciarelli. “Originally there were less screams planned for this record than the second one, but sadly we never got the chance to do even that. This forced us to take a creative approach to certain songs. We've beefed up the guitars in parts, added gang vocals, choirs and all sorts of effects to still capture some of the energy that Casey brought.”

Hawthorne Heights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And well see that things can work out
And this will last forever
How long can we wait for things to change
And this will last forever
Every day, this I say
Turn to dust and fade away
Every day, this I say
Turn to dust and fade away
This will last forever
Still waiting for tomorrow
Just wait for today
To close my eyes
Waiting for tomorrow
Just wait for today
To say goodbye
She never said she loved me
She never said goodbye(X4)
Just stay the night
And well see that things can work out
And this will last forever
How long can we wait for things to change
And this will last forever
Every day, this I say
Turn to dust and fade away
This will last forever
Every day, this I say
Turn to dust and fade away
This will last forever
Still waiting for tomorrow
Just wait for today
To close my eyes
Waiting for tomorrow
Just wait for today
To say goodbye
The lyrics to Hawthorne Heights's song "Angels With Even Filthier Soul" seem to be about waiting for something to change or hoping that things will work out. The persona in the song is asking someone to stay the night with them in hopes that their relationship will last forever. They are questioning how long they can wait for things to change and hoping that their situation will not turn to dust and fade away. The lyric "She never said she loved me, she never said goodbye" suggests that the persona is looking back on a past relationship that did not end on a positive note.
The themes of waiting, uncertainty, and hopelessness are prevalent throughout the song. The lyrics "Still waiting for tomorrow, just wait for today, to close my eyes" suggest that the persona is tired of waiting for things to change and is ready to give up. However, the repetition of "this will last forever" implies a lingering sense of hope that things will eventually work out.
Overall, the song seems to be about the struggle of maintaining hope and optimism in the face of uncertainty and disappointment. The persona is desperately trying to hold on to something that may not be meant to last, but remains hopeful that things will eventually work out.
