Being As An Ocean - Ain't Nobody Perfect Lyrics






"Unforgiveness is a cell I've made for myself.
Things can be said before, "Farewell."

Rich splashed his face with cold water,
Took a look at the man in the mirror.
He dried up and walked out to the porch to finally talk to his father.
A man now tired, relieved of his anger.
His son looked him in the eye, spoke through anxiety.

"Dad, something's been weighing on me." "What is it, Richie?"
He took a deep breath, his back drenched in sweat. Floridian heat.
He heard the ice melt in his father's tea, and the rocking creak of the swing.
Quietly, Rich began to speak,

"Unforgiveness is a cell I've made for myself.
Things can be said before, "Farewell."

"When I was young, you were awful to me; a terrible father, a worse husband.
You have to see the blood on your hands.
Of all people, know what it's like to fear your ol' man.
My entire life I resented you, but now I get what Mom meant when she said:

(A father, never so broken, a son, never outspoken.)
"Ain't nobody perfect.
Ain't nobody gonna be perfect.'
I'm tired of carrying resentments.
I'm trying my best to forgive you..."

(Farewell)
"Oh my son, for what I've done, I'm so sorry.
(Farewell)
Just know that I've always loved you, if you ever can forgive me."

Our unforgiveness is a cell that we make for ourselves.
Things can be said before, "Farewell."

Oh my son, for what I've done, I'm sorry.
Oh my son, for what I've done, I'm sorry.
Tears of joy and pain stream down their face.
Forgiveness opens the door to change.

  11. R.... P....

    amazing

  12. M.... T....

    god i love music (hehe)

  13. M.... ....

    This is the first material written with their new drummer, and I gotta say, he KILLED it. His play style fits so well with this band, and he brings some fresh elements to their structure. (like dat beat at 3:20 doe.) But super stoked to hear the rest of this album and how else they're evolved from not only his contributions, but how they've grown since previous releases.

    M.... ....

    +MehsterChief Wasn't 'How We Both Wonderfully Perish' written with Connor?

    M.... ....

    I don't think so, but I definitely could be wrong.

    M.... ....

    +MehsterChief How We Both Wondrously Perish was written with Connor - Dear G-d... was the only album written with Shad

    M.... ....

    +Adam Mills connor played on HWBWP but i dont believe he wrote on it . I saw a interview where they say tyler wrote all the music prior to recording .

    M.... ....

    +Adam Mills I kinda miss shad, he was a fucking beast

  14. x.... ....

    Dat bass at 2:00 though...

  15. M.... C....

    Man... This is so beautiful, even though I can't forgive my father

  16. B.... A....

    To apologize is to be brave, to forgive is to be strong, to forget is to be happy.

    B.... A....

    @Brian Anderson Awesome words dude :')

  17. C.... B....

    This song is fantastic and that drum part at 3:22 is awesome!

  18. R.... A....

    Thank you for help me to heal with every single note.

  19. S.... O....

    Such an amazing band, I get goosebumps every time I listen to them. They're even better live.

  20. C.... R....

    ain't nobody perfect, i gotta work it, again and again 'til i get it right.

  21. R.... C....

    Love the vibe on this track.

  24. Z.... C....

    When it starts to distort at the :56 mark, does anyone know what's being said?

    Z.... C....

    I think it's a loop of what he's going to say, that's just my guess.

    Z.... C....

    Okay, I wondered. Or I wonder if it was done to make him sound like he had trouble speaking, stuttering or something when he was trying to confront his father.

    Z.... C....

    @Zack Campbell I think he's saying, "Listen." I think. And I love the idea that he's stuttering as if to convey his nervousness.

    Z.... C....

    I think he's saying 'a son', it sounds to me like they took it from the background vocals at 1:40 ('A father, never so broken, a son, never outspoken'). And I think they just did it for musical effect, there's a lot of electronic/dance tracks that do it too (Skrillex - Summit, Porter Robinson - Divinity, etc).

  25. S.... ....

    Best song on the album. Hands down.

    S.... ....

    For me, it's And Their Consequence.

    S.... ....

    Swell don't forget Dissolve

    S.... ....

    @TheGuitarist_Dude dissolve isn't on this album

  26. m.... r....

    This song has such emotion that it brings forth goosebumps when listening to it, this whole new album is beautiful.

  27. C.... J....

    "Forgiveness opens the door to change."  Powerful stuff.

  28. C.... H....
