Be Longing Always
The Color Morale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We all fail, but we are not all failures.
(Predetermined to fail)
We don't have to live like this.

You've lived your life in shame
Chasing what was to far away.
It's not a contest,
And love can't be won.
You speak and you speak
But not in volumes to me.
Broken homes pave the way for twisted tongues.

Broken homes pave the way for twisted tongues.
We will not be forgotten.
This will be the leach that I
Refuse to find a way to burn
Because that would be too easy.
I found a foothold in the fault line.
There is always a voice,
And it's always there,
And this is what it says:
"I still love you somehow"

I still love you somehow, and I always will.

You've got a tapeworm growing within your soul.




You're gonna have to dig it out through the heart.
Dig it out.

Overall Meaning

The Color Morale's song Be Longing Always talks about the struggles of life and how people tend to perceive their own shortcomings as a mark of failure. The song starts with the reassuring message that just because people fail at times, it doesn't mean they are failures themselves. The band further stresses that one doesn't have to live in shame and try to chase something that's impossibly far away. The line "Broken homes pave the way for twisted tongues" suggests that hardships in life can leave scars and affect one's ability to communicate effectively.


The song then takes a more personal turn as the lyrics hint at someone who has been living in shame, chasing something they can't attain. However, the song goes on to say that love can't be won, and it's not a contest. This ties in with the previous message of not having to live like this, reinforcing that people should not be too hard on themselves.


The song ends on a hopeful note, with a message of love and acceptance. The line "I still love you somehow, and I always will" is particularly touching, as it reassures the listener that they are not alone and that there is always hope for a better tomorrow. The lyrics "You've got a tapeworm growing within your soul. You're gonna have to dig it out through the heart. Dig it out" are a potent metaphor that indicates the need for introspection, self-reflection and the effort required to be rid of internal demons that can fester and cause harm.

I don't think you have seen Garrett live. Live he is some of the best harsh screams I have ever heard. I personally think that this studio albumn digitally sterilized his screams, and I actually like his screams better on my own live recording at only 64kbps audio bit rate. He is so good he even sounds good at 64kbps (the audio bit rate of my camera). You try sounding good at 64kbps.

I love these guys, their lyrics send out similar messages as WCAR. They have help me so many times. Thank you TCM! Keep making great music.

This band is amazing live. I saw them for this CD release tour, and since I had been listening to WAHD over and over again, i expected some soft, melodic hardcore with so-so screaming. What I received was as follows: brutality, excellent clean and dirty vox, a high energy show, a punch to the face from a very fat man, and soiled pants.

Thomas Pflanzer

This band left a great impression on me ; first time hearing them .

Subscribing to riserecords is one of the few wise decisions I made in life. Life has been such a bitch lately, these bands actually lift my spirits and help me cope so much better.
