Meaning of the song<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n

This is what Pierre has said about this first single from the self-titled record:<\/p>\n

“I think for me the song represents what we went through as a band when we first started, it’s about getting out there and seizing the moment and doing what you want to do; to be passionate about it and to not worry about what everyone else is going to think. As far as what the fans take away from it, I think it’s the kind of song where if you listen to it you could probably take your own message from it, it’s general in a way. It’s about beating the odds and doing something with yourself.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Song lyrics<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n


\nI look around me
\nBut all I seem to see
\nIts people going nowhere
\nExpecting sympathy
\nIt\u2019s like we\u2019re going through the motions
\nOf the scripted destiny
\nTell me where\u2019s our inspiration
\nIf life won\u2019t wait
\nI guess it\u2019s up to me<\/center><\/p>\n

Whoahh
\nNo we\u2019re not gonna waste another moment in this town
\nWhoahh
\nWe wont come back, the world its coming out
\nWhoahh
\nLeave the past in the past gonna find the future
\nAnd misery loves company
\nWell so long
\nYou\u2019ll miss me when I\u2019m gone
\nYou\u2019re gonna miss me when I\u2019m gone<\/p>\n

Procrastination running circles in my head
\nWhile you sit there contemplating you\u2019ll wind up left for dead (left for dead)
\nLife it\u2019s what happens
\nWhile you\u2019re busy making your excuses
\nAnother day, another casualty
\nBut that won\u2019t happen to me<\/p>\n

Whoahh
\nNo we\u2019re not gonna waste another moment in this town
\nWhoahh
\nWe wont come back, the world its coming out<\/p>\n

Whoahh
\nLeave the past in the past gonna find the future
\nAnd misery loves company
\nWell so long
\nYou\u2019ll miss me when I\u2019m gone
\nYou\u2019re gonna miss me when I\u2019m gone
\nYou\u2019re gonna miss me when I\u2019m goooone
\nWhen I\u2019m gooone<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go\u2026!
\nWon\u2019t look back
\nWhen I say goodbye
\nWe\u2019re gonna leave this world behind me
\nGonna take what\u2019s mine tonight
\n\u2018cause every wasted day
\nBecomes a wasted chance
\nYou\u2019re gonna wake up feeling sorry
\n\u2018cause life won\u2019t wait
\nI guess it\u2019s up to you<\/p>\n

Whoahh
\nNo we\u2019re not gonna waste another moment in this town
\nWhoahh
\nWe wont come back, the world its coming out
\nWhoahh
\nLeave the past in the past gonna find the future
\nAnd misery loves company
\nWell so long
\nYou\u2019ll miss me when I\u2019m gone
\nYou\u2019re gonna miss me when I\u2019m gone
\nYou\u2019re gonna miss me when I\u2019m gone
\nYou\u2019re gonna miss me when I\u2019m gone
\nYou\u2019re gonna miss me when I\u2019m gone<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
