Because Of You
Society Red Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your eyes remind
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...

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

Diego Kiefer

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.
