Scene Two
Sleeping with Sirens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got your friends, and you got your foes
They want a piece of something hot
Forget you name like they forgot
Huh
Ain't that something?
And criticize your every word
I'm tring to keep you from goin' insane
Ain't that the way of this whole damn thing?
Uh
Trying to be something, more
Nobody's gonna love you if
You can't display, a way to capture this
Nobody's gonna hold your hand
And guide you through
No, it's up for you to understand
Nobody's gonna feel your pain
When all is done
And it's time for you to walk away
So when you have today
You should say all that you have to say
Huh
Say all that you have to say
Huh
Is there a right way for being strong?
Feels like I'm doing things all wrong
Still I'm here just holdin' on
Confess my heart and forgive my wrongs
Ho
Just trying to show you something, more
Nobody's gonna love you if
You can't display, a way to capture this
Nobody's gonna hold your hand
And guide you through
It's up for you to understand
Nobody's gonna feel your pain
When all is done
And it's time for you to walk away
When you have today
You should say all that you have to say
Don't point the blame when you can't find nothing
Look to yourself, and you might find something
It's time that we sorted out
All of the things, we complain about
So listen close to the sound of your soul
Take back a life we lived once before
If it ain't you, then who?
If it ain't you, then who is gonna love you?
Nobody's gonna love you if
You can't display, a way to capture this
Nobody's gonna hold your hand
And guide you through
It's up for you to understand
Nobody's gonna feel your pain
When all is done
And it's time for you to walk away
When you have today
You should say all that you have to say
So when you have today, say all that you have to say
In Sleeping with Sirens's song Scene Two, the lyrics describe the struggles of trying to fit in and find acceptance in society. The first verse talks about the dichotomy of having friends and foes, and how the people around you can forget about you just as easily as they remembered you. The second verse is more introspective, with the singer discussing the difficulty of being strong and feeling like they are doing everything wrong, but still trying to hold on and show others something more. The chorus emphasizes the importance of being able to display and communicate your feelings and pain to others, rather than expecting them to just understand or feel it themselves. It's a call to action to not hold back and to say everything you need to say while you still have the chance. The bridge urges the listener to look inwardly instead of blaming others for their troubles and to take control of their own life and experiences.
The song was released in 2013 as part of Sleeping with Sirens's album "Feel." It features both acoustic and electric elements, and showcases lead singer Kellin Quinn's vocal range and emotional delivery. As a post-hardcore band, Sleeping with Sirens is known for their intense and energetic performances, but this song highlights their more introspective and vulnerable side.

Trying to keep you from goin' insane, Ain't that the way of this whole damn thing?
I'm attempting to prevent you from losing your mind, but isn't that just how life is?
Nobody's gonna love you if, You can't display, a way to capture this

Don't point the blame when you can't find nothing
Don't place blame on others when you can't discern the reason for your problems.
Look to yourself, and you might find something, It's time that we sorted out, All of the things, we complain about
The solution to our complaints might be found within ourselves, so it's time to address and resolve them.
So listen close to the sound of your soul, Take back a life we lived once before
Pay attention to your inner voice, and aim to regain the life you lived in the past.
If it ain't you, then who? If it ain't you, then who is gonna love you?
If you don't love and appreciate yourself, then who else will?
