"Before Dan joined in 2003, I wrote all of the original music for the band. With his arrival we not only found ourselves a solid drummer but a second songwriter." says Allie. Rio Bent currently has 27 original songs rehearsed and performance-ready, their sounds ranging from driving rock ballads to real kick-in-the-teeth punk with an occasional acoustic song thrown to keep things interesting.
Two Feet
Rio Bent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm hanging, I'm dying
I'm lying here, and this insanity
Is going to be the thing that, that kills me
Two feet away, unfinished
I'm breathing hard, it's not so easy now
And it's been a pleasure
But you're so far away
Face to face
But you don't see me
Clumsy words
Don't even matter
Two feet between us
But I'll never catch up
Who's the one resisting
(x2)
In the blink of an eye
Predictable
Two feet behind
Unthinkable
Remeber, good times
Remember, bright eyes
What happend to you?
Forget, you didn't
What's this, could it be anything
Beautiful, well I'm not
I hate this, but I crave it
And it's been a pleasure
And it's been a pleasure
But you're so far away
Face to face
But you don't see me
Clumsy words
Don't even matter
Two feet between us
But I'll never catch up
Who's the one resisting
(x2)
In the blink of an eye
Predictable
Two feet behind
Unthinkable
Now that the string's been broken
And we've both been set free
Now that I've got no time for you
You've got no time for me
(x2)
In the blink of an eye
Predictable
Two feet behind
Unthinkable
Face to face
But you don't see me
Clumsy words
Don't even matter
Two feet between us
But I'll never catch up
Who's the one resisting
(x2)
In the blink of an eye
Predictable
Two feet behind
Unthinkable
The song "Two Feet" by Rio Bent depicts a struggling relationship and the fear of ultimately losing one's partner. Bent expresses the feeling of "hanging, dying" and being "unfinished" when the relationship is not fully established. The line "this insanity is going to be the thing that kills me" shows the desperation and fear of losing the partner. The distance between the two individuals in the relationship is also noticeable as they are "two feet away" from each other yet "unfinished." This distance creates a sense of longing between the two individuals, which is reflected throughout the entire song.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "face to face, but you don't see me" to emphasize the distance in their relationship. The line "clumsy words don't even matter" shows the difficulty in communicating with one another, thus adding to their struggle. The line "two feet between us, but I'll never catch up, who's the one resisting" implies that the distance is on purpose and the partner's intentions are unknown.
The bridge of the song adds a sense of regret as the singer remembers "good times" and "bright eyes" as they express their longing to go back to when the relationship was once happy. They "crave it" but struggle to find a way to go back to that point.
Overall, the song "Two Feet" shows a relationship that is falling apart and the fear of losing one's partner. It emphasizes the importance of communication and the distance that can grow when communication breaks down.
