Candlebox - Simple Lessons Lyrics






Sounds to be where, you want to scream
Always left without, saying hello
I've seen chains that bear less, snap and fall long before you let go
Times run over you sink onto my floor,
It's ok, we've cleaned them many times before
Simple lessons are, simple lessons are, simple lessons are,
Simple lessons are, simple...
Sounds might be where, yeah I want to cry
Always left before, I said hello
He's had days where shades of brilliance, never granted him space
Green shades of painful rains, it's ok, they'll wash away now
Simple lessons are, simple lessons are, simple lessons are,
Simple lessons are, simple...
Always taught you how, drain yourself empty
Always taught you how, drain yourself empty
We're all scarred up from ages of childish games
Yet I've never seen your head up higher
It feels real this time, I see you happy again
Reel in it for a while, oh enough to take my place
Sounds to be where, you want to scream
Always left without, saying hello
I've seen chains that bear less, snap and fall long before you,
Long before you let go

  14. s.... j....

    love this song

  15. Q.... ....

  16. A.... S....

    This is the last song I listened to with my dad. He died the later night. I was supposed to be with him. I went home though. I have regretted going home for 18 years now.  In case anyone gives a half a shit.

    A.... S....

    Some days ago I read an interview about people who are dying (it was about children with major illnesses).
    The doc said, many are dying just when nobody of the family is around. For example a mother is in hospice with her daughter for 30 hours, and when the doctors sent her home to catch some sleep, her daughter died.
    What I want to say is, maybe your dad wouldn't have died this night, if you've been there, but in the night after.
    Please excuse my bad english, my german is better.

    A.... S....

    Alexander Steiner I do. That's a tough weight to bear

    A.... S....

    AS: While I'm truly sorry for your loss, would your presence have somehow kept him ALIVE? Even if it were suicide, I doubt it, as we are not cheerleaders who can Rah! Rah! Rah! someone into staying alive when he desires to die. There must have been a REASON you went home; not being perfect--only hindsight is perfect--we do the best we could have AT THE TIME. Time to cut this loose, my friend!

    A.... S....

    Alexander Steiner incase it means anything to u this song has so much meaning to me 4 my overdressed wife that no one can ever understand..

    A.... S....

    Keep listening and forgive yourself my friend. No more regrets, your father was happy at all times you've spent together

    i knew and partied with these guys before they were anything,the song you was written about the place they lived. low income apartments,i had alot of friends there and they were a few of them,good guys.

    J.... C....

    JR Carclay The song was about low income apartments??? So much for thinking Candlebox was deep!

  24. S.... H....

    What the HELL happened to this band?! CANDLEBOX seemed poised to take on the grunge world with a GREAT debut album fueled by KM's supercharged vocals (used to most dramatic effect in this, arguably their best, song that was basically their last hurrah, on a followup album that already showed a dramatic dropoff in quality)---and then, almost as quickly, they were GONE. Memorable CANDLEBOX Moment watching them play the 4000-seat Seattle Arena when an over-zealous fan tried to wrestle KM's axe away. "Let go! Let go! Let go!" I could see him mouthing the words.

    S.... H....

    althout candlebox came in a later wave than that of the nirvana, pearl jam etc, they were still that raw seattle sound. This sound didn't last long, it really lasted in a hegemonic way from late 1992-early 1995. It was too raw for general audiences and hence why post grunge with that really really neutered sound won. This, 1995 bands like green day, eve 6, bush, collective soul were taking off, they were much much much more toned down that candelbox

  25. M.... 3....
