Because Of You
Society Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
me of our life when we we're wasted
everyday, but everything was alright
And now we find
we're always running out of time
speeding out of control
No I'm not alone, maybe I can't complain
Running from the things that you love to hate
It feels so hard to face it
and I know I can't explain it
Because of you, I'll lie
Because of you, I'll fight
Because I know that you hate when I run away
But I can't escape what you really mean to me
For you, I'll try
because of you, I'm here tonight
because of you...
And now we find
we're running blind and we are fading
with every breath we take in us tonight
You know you're right, I might be alone
so fine, but I promise I'll be here
looking at the sky, I'm thinking of the times
when this complicated life came and killed goodbye??
It feels so hard to face it
And I know I can't escape it Because of you, I'll lie
Because of you, I'll fight
Because I know that you hate when I run away
But I can't escape what you really mean to me For you, I'll try
Because of you, I'm here tonight
Because of you...
yeahhhhhh
Turn the page, I don't ever wanna go back
make a change, manipulated so fast
You don't know what you have until its gone, away
Another day, another dollar wasted
Running away, one day you'll have to face it
This can't be over yet
This can't be over...
Because of you, I'll lie
Because of you, I'll fight
Because I know that you hate when I run away
But I can't escape what you really mean to me For you, I'll try
Because of you, I'm here tonight
Because of you... Because of you... Because of you, I'll try Because of you, I'll fight
Because of you, I'm here tonight
Because of you...

Line by Line Meaning
Your eyes remind me of our life when we we're wasted
I associate your eyes with our past when we were carefree and living life to the fullest
everyday, but everything was alright
Even though we were living a wild life, everything felt right and we were content
And now we find
Presently, we have discovered that
we're always running out of time
We never seem to have enough time to do everything we want to do
speeding out of control
Our life has become chaotic and unmanageable
No I'm not alone, maybe I can't complain
I know I have you with me, but I still can't help feeling frustrated about our situation
Running from the things that you love to hate
I try to avoid things that I know will bother or upset you
It feels so hard to face it
I find it difficult to confront our problems
and I know I can't explain it
I am aware that I cannot justify or clarify my actions
Because of you, I'll lie
I will be dishonest to protect you or avoid conflict
Because of you, I'll fight
I will stand up for what I believe in or defend you, because of our relationship
Because I know that you hate when I run away
I am aware that running away is not a solution and it frustrates you
But I can't escape what you really mean to me
I can't ignore or forget the importance of our relationship
For you, I'll try
I will make an effort for your sake
because of you, I'm here tonight
I am present in this moment because of our connection
And now we find
Presently, we realize that
we're running blind and we are fading
Our situation is deteriorating and we are losing direction
with every breath we take in us tonight
As we breathe in the moment, we know things are changing
You know you're right, I might be alone
You are correct that I could end up by myself
so fine, but I promise I'll be here
Even if I were to end up alone, I assure you that I will be present and committed
looking at the sky, I'm thinking of the times
I am contemplating the past and reflecting on our experiences
when this complicated life came and killed goodbye??
I am remembering the challenges we have faced and how our struggles may have impacted our bond
Turn the page, I don't ever wanna go back
I want to move on from the past and not revert back to our old ways
make a change, manipulated so fast
I need to make changes quickly, as things are moving too fast
You don't know what you have until its gone, away
We often only appreciate something once it's gone
Another day, another dollar wasted
We are wasting our lives away and not enjoying the little time we have
Running away, one day you'll have to face it
Avoiding our problems will only make things worse and we need to confront them one day
This can't be over yet
I don't want our relationship to end just yet
Because of you...
My actions and motivations are influenced by our relationship

It's good that Phantom Limb still retains his ability to insult people despite his raging insanity.

The writing for this scene is awesome.
You'll never get tired of that exchange between Billy and Red Mantle

Dragoons reaction to the whole exposition: 1:49 "Am I missing something?" is freaking hilarious how he's still trying to make sense of the situation.
