MOTIVATION

What's the difference of never knowing at all?
When every step I take is always too small
Maybe it's just something I can't admit but lately
I feel like I don't give a shit.

Motivation such an aggravation
Accusations don't know how to take them
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it
Concentration's never hard to brake it
Situation never what you want it to be.

What's the point of never making mistakes?
Self-indulgence is such a hard habit to brake
It's all just a waste of time in the end
I don't care so why should I even pretend.

Motivation such an aggravation
Accusations don't know how to take them
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it
Concentration's never hard to brake it
Situation never what you want it.

Nothing's new, everything's the same
It keeps on dragging me down, it's getting kind of lame
I'm falling further behind, there's nothing to explain
No matter what you say nothing 's gonna change my mind.

Can't pretend on doubt until the end
It seems like leaving friends has become
This years trend and though I can't pretend
It's not the same but who's to blame
For all those stupid things I never said.

Motivation such an aggravation
Accusations don't know how to take them
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it
Concentration's never hard to brake it
Situation never what you want it to be.

Motivation such an aggravation

Situation never what you want it to be.

Never what you want it to be
Never what you want it to be.

The faster we're falling,
We're stopping and stalling
We're running in circles again
Just as things we're looking up
You said it wasn't good enough
But still we're trying one more time.

Maybe we're just trying to hard.
When really it's closer than it is too far

Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under
Instead of going under.

Seems like each time
I'm with you I loose my mind
Because I'm bending over backwards to relate
It's one thing to complain
But when you're driving me insane
Well then I think it's time that we took a break.

Maybe we're just trying to hard.
When really it's closer than it is too far

Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under
Instead of going under
Instead of going under.

I can't sit back and wonder why
It took so long for this to die
And I hate it when you fake it
You can't hide it you might as well embrace it
So believe me it's not easy
It seems that something's telling me

Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under
Instead of going under
Instead of going under.

You said it once before, you don't do those things you used to anymore
You say in doubt, were fading out, forgetting who we used to be.

Cause I will bring you down
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this
You've lost what you can't find; it's never what you had in mind.

You take it with a smile; it's so easy when you're always in denial
Just in time but out of line I can't make all the same mistakes you want me to.

Cause I will bring you down
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this
You've lost what you can't find; it's never what you had in mind.

Your giving up you know it's not what you need
And it's true what you're going through
Try so hard not listen to everything I never say.

Cause I will bring you down
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this
You've lost what you can't find; it's never what you had in mind.

I'm getting over getting used to
And after all that I put you through now I see I'm not the only one.

I never thought It'd ever come to
This in fact was never what you wanted from me or how you meant it to be.

Sum 41, avec sa section rythmique aux sonorités puissantes et incisives, se situe dans le sillage des groupes punk américains comme Green Day ou Offspring. Formé à la fin des années 90 et composé du chanteur et guitariste Derick Whibley, du guitariste Dave Baksh, du bassiste Cone McCaslin et du batteur Steve Jocz, le combo Sum 41 signe un contrat en 99 avec le label Islands et publie un premier EP, Half Hour Of Power, l'année suivante. Ce premier effort permet au groupe de tourner en compagnie de combos reconnus, comme Offspring et Blink 182, et de gagner peu à peu l'estime du public américain. En 2001, Sum 41, en collaboration avec le producteur Jerry Finn, enregistre son premier album, All Killer, No Filler, avant d'effectuer, dans un souci de promotion, une tournée à travers les Etats-Unis. En 2002, Sum 41 participe à la BO du film Spiderman avec le titre What We're All About. Fin 2002, en plein succès, le groupe publie un nouvel album Does This Look Infected?. 2 ans plus tard, Sum 41 signe Chuck, un album qui tire son nom du représentant de l'ONU Chuck Pelletier. Ce dernier avait rapatrié le groupe du Congo alors que la situation dans le pays devenait perilleuse.

What happened to you ?
You've play the victim for so long now in this game
What I thought was true
Is made of fiction and I'm following the same
But if I try to make sense of this mess I'm in
I'm not sure where I should begin
I'm falling, I'm falling

Refrain:
Now I'm in
Over my head, with something i said
Completely misread I'm better of dead
And now I can see, how fake you can be
This hypocracy's beginning to get to me

It's none of my concern
Don't look to me because I don't believe in fame
I guess you never heard
I've met our makers they don't even know your name
If i had to say goodbye to leave this hell
I'd say my time has severed me well
I'm Falling, I'm falling

Refrain

This came long before
Those you suffer more
I'm too awake for this to be a nightmare
What's with my disgrace
I lost the human race
No one plans for it to
Blow up their face !!!
Who said was easy to put back all these pieces
Who said was so easy to put back all these pieces !!!

Refrain

Over my head, better of dead
Over my head, better of dead
