Impossible
Sloppy Meateaters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I came into this a poor man and I'll leave just the same
I am disgusted sad and angry and I feel so ashamed
But you're forgetting one thing, you're forgetting one thing
I made you I'll break you

Complication, I'm not leaving
This operation, will leave you screaming
Goddamn impossible
Way of life you're living boy
You better run you better hide
You better learn to decide
Surprise are you flattered by their little lies
Or do you

People say I have changed well I hope I have changed
A moment of clarity I have gained
A lifetime of darkness I move to the light
And with this hope I will survive




I believe and I believe
And forever I will believe

Just listening to the bass line of this song makes you realize how underappreciated this band was during their heyday. Talentwise they could easily compare to any of the pop-punk bands of the early 2000s

Falcons Warrior

My guitar teacher was the bassist for this band. :D

sherpaderp dingo

these guys had a reunion in like 2005/06 and my band opened for them. It was a small show, not many showed up but it was still cool because they were my favourite band when i was in middle school/early high school.
