I’d rather die for what I believe
Than live a life without meaning
I’d rather die for what I believe
Than live a life without meaning
I’d rather die for what I believe
Than live a life without meaning
I’d rather die for what I believe
Than live a life without meaning
(And now that I’m older)
And now that I’m older
I’m finding out how
(What it means)
To start over
Well it’s never going to be that easy
I’ve searched and searched but the search lights have left me
I tried to find a way, I swear I’ve tried
All I have left is you by my side
So please take the time
To get inside my mind
I’ve longed for the lights
I’ve stayed awake, stayed awake
Through the nights
What if this is all I have
What if this is all that’s left
What if this is all that’s left, all that’s left
(And now that I’m older)
And now that I’m older
I’m finding out how
(What it means)
To start over
I never thought I would
I’m finding out how
(What it means)
To start over
Now that I’m older
I’m finding out how
(What it means)
To start over
So can you feel it now
Beneath the surface where the shadows dwell
You can’t hide from the path you chose
So take it in, take it in
All the burdens of the world
Never thought I’d end up this way
Never thought I could fall so far away
So far away
(And now that I’m older)
And now that I’m older
I’m finding out how
(What it means)
To start over
I never thought I would
I’m finding out how
(What it means)
To start over
Now that I’m older
I’m finding out how
(What it means)
To start over
I’m starting over
I’m starting over
I’d rather die for what I believe
Than live a life without meaning
MEANING
6 years ago I thought this song was awesome.. then I went to jail for 4 years. now that I’m older I’m finding out now what it means to start over.
It took me a long time to find my worth. This song helps even to this day.
Im no emo or whatever you call these people that listen to this music. I can tell you that I listen to all kinds of genre of music and at the end of the day what really matters is that the song/music is good and enjoyable. This song is cool and you dont have to be an emo to like this. Oh btw dont judge people for what they are. Just listen and Enjoy or leave
I'm not going to be one of those whiny scene kids who claim certain songs "saved their lives" but this song has definitely played a part in my life in terms of helping me push through anything. Work, daily life, helping me fall asleep without worry, and completely shutting off my mind to everything I am worrying about at the time.
"Now that I'm older, I'm finding out how and what it means, to start over" this part hits me hard now. I'm going through a divorce after 4 years of marriage and 7 years being together. It's tough, but I'm starting over.
Saw a dude with a shirt that said “I don’t always listen to metal but when I do I prefer word alive” so I thought hmmm let’s look them up and now I’m here
I like a lot of these new age Post-Hardcore/Metalcore bands ie.Memphis May Fire, Crown the Empire, We Came as Romans, Upon This Dawning, Secrets, Like Moths to Flames, I See Stars, etc. but I feel like The Word Alive shines more than the majority of their peers. Not only is Telle a terrific frontman, but his lyrics and vocals, along with the band's music, are more memorable than the likes of MMF, LMTF, Secrets, and so on. There's a passion and feeling that TWA has that I don't find in many other bands of their type except for The Color Morale.
