Chiodos - Life Is A Perception Of Your Own Reality Lyrics






I'd like to take this time to detach my jaw,
And really take a look.
I think that I'm done.
Put away this old guitar,
And on my way out,
Hang my vocal chords up on the door.

If I could just do these things
(If I could do these things)
If I could maybe do these things
Each and every day wouldn't pass
The way that they so often do
That they so often do
And maybe, just maybe.
Life would be everything we wanted it to be.

I could even peel the skin hiding my face
And ballroom dance with the cartilage of my nose
Just to show you how to really move

I'll show you how to really move

If I could just do these things
If I could maybe do these things
Each and every day wouldn't pass
The way that they so often do
That they so often do
And maybe, just maybe.
Life would be everything we wanted it to be.

I'll show you how to really move
I'll show you how to really move

If I could just do these things
(If I could do these things)
If I could maybe do these things
Each and every day wouldn't pass
The way that they so often do
That they so often do
And maybe, just maybe.
Life would be everything we wanted it to be.

  10. B.... P....

    grammar nazi

  11. a.... k....

    why does no one say anything about the cello in the beginning???????

  12. s.... w....

    Give it a rest, buddy.
    It's just a spelling mistake.

  13. z.... ....

    Because this is YouTube not an examination on the English language.

  14. 7.... ....

    the violin at the beginning... genius your grammar however......i just don't know anymore -_-

  15. T.... S....

    Ganre lol

  16. H.... ....

    Because 4 years ago, people had worse grammar than nowadays. Surprise?

  17. B.... L....

    Why are both the top comments littered with misspellings.... is this a test?..

  18. K.... O....

    this guys are the only band that pull off screamo or singing their music genre of music because of the fact that they are so different from what we were all use to. piano and violin with screamo? genius

  19. a.... ....

    *shut, the fuck up.

  23. T.... B....

    @Near4434 its actually a string combo synth

  24. T.... ....

    This song is soo checky. The line "Maybe, Life would be everything we wanted it to be."

  25. T.... ....

    Bone palace ballet was their best album, but their best song was Priates and Rebels.

  26. M.... ....

    @Chessycat1205 For needing to spell check everyone's comments on this video, you obviously need to go back to school for better spelling on the word 'beginning.'

  27. v.... ....

    I usually just listen to the first 25 seconds of the song.

  28. R.... P....

    @Chessycat1205 **Nobody **Cares, this isn't school; if you can understand it enough to be able to correct it, then it need not be corrected.

  29. C.... ....

    ** Violin. And ** Begining. Also- **Genre.

  30. D.... H....

    @xXxrockisluvxXx i have nothing against emos but emo isnt a label so because people announcing their emo it has grown to cause people to not like emo

  31. j.... e....

    @viper0161 some of escape the fates stuff is like this try pop goes punk punk bands do pop songs reall good,so check dat out if u dont like idk

  32. c.... ....

    @viper0161 Apocalyptica :)

  33. v.... ....

    Looking for some music like the intro to this song. Any suggestions?

  34. A.... ....

    there's genre's like :
    Metal
    Metalcore
    punk
    pop
    hard rock
    and then there's
    Chiodos

  35. o.... ....

    It's a violin and cello. You can barely hear it in the back.

  36. N.... P....

    actually its a cello/viola duet there could be a violin in there to make it a triplet

  37. R.... M....

    Fuck genres. It's music. Good music

  38. K.... Z....

    Sweet It's awesome anyways xD

  39. B.... S....

    jesus christ is there a debate about what genre every fucking band is on all videos?

  40. h.... ....

    I'm not a fan of this new album tbh.

  41. J.... F....

    their myspace indeed says: hardcore / emo

  42. S.... S....

    i really laaakkk this songg.
    my favorite bandd.
    the chiodos deserve more cred then they get.

  43. 2.... ....

    Is YOUR name ashley?

  44. d.... g....

    their album covers and music are by far the best ive ever heard/seen in my life

  45. M.... ....

    so much

  46. O.... R....

    umm its not a guitar.

  47. p.... p....

    his high-pitched voice is amazing!!!

  48. w.... ....

    Which is why they were named "The Chiodos Brothers" to begin with, but later shortened their name to "Chiodos", as we know today.

  49. j.... ....

    The best song in the album!!

  50. S.... U....

    you have to listen to lyrics...its actually not surprising craig attempted scuicide:(

  51. K.... D....

    Wow, I say the song is good, and I get a -1. Good job YouTube ;-)

  52. K.... D....

    Not really. Itś just good. The song itself is overall better.

  53. 5.... ....

    this song has always reminded me of queen

  54. T.... H....

    does anyone else find the title of his songs ingenious?

  55. m.... a....

    this is one of their best songs. NO DOUBT. i love how dramatic they areeeeeeeeeee.

  56. E.... W....

    awesome song

  57. a.... ....

    the music goes so well with that picture

  58. G.... ....

    wow that was the most retarded thing I've ever heard anyone say in my whole entire existence and future existence.

  59. B.... ....

    this song is like..... sex on the beach in the middle of september.... cuz it's cold and you get some sand in your crack, but you get warmed up and you feel amazing by the time you're done... but i don't know how sand in your crack has any connection... but still.
    amazing!!!

  60. w.... ....

    Alternative / HxC

  61. w.... ....

    lol this is not emo. come on now. its different. braid, sunny day real estate. that's emo.

    the songs might be "emotional" but it's not "emo" which has a different sound. technically, this is to "heavy" as an emo song.

  62. n.... ....

    i kno. i wasnt tryin to be mean or anything i was just lettin you know

  63. n.... ....

    its alternative

  64. J.... E....

    hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  65. J.... W....

    Wow, to the comment StephenAussie said.
    It's not diverse. Almost all bands rotate the way they sing. Not just Chiodos.
    Good band.
    (btw, this band isn't punk you nabs)

  66. S.... M....

    nah part of what they sing is screemo...not all...but part of them. But that is what makes them so great...that they are so diverse in what and how they sing, yet they are still amazing!!!

  67. c.... ....

    fucking amazing!

    chiodos has to be one of the BEST bands out there.
    no joke!

    and the beginning is just fucking sick!


    great job chiodos!

    <3 :D

  68. t.... ....

    listen to jasons lead in the last chorus's...FUCKIN AWESOME

  69. J.... H....

    sounds lyk:
    circa survive+panic! at the disco=chiodos
    &i love em all

  70. b.... ....

    chiodos is fucking amazing. im glad my best friend got me to listen to them more. they make my thirty minute train ride to school so much bearable.

    best intro ever, hands down.
    <3

  71. j.... ....

    If I could just do these things
    (if I could do these things)
    If I could maybe do these things
    Each and every day wouldn't pass
    The way that they so often do
    That they so often do
    Maybe just maybe
    Life would be everything we wanted it to be.

  72. j.... ....

    could even peel the skin right off my face
    And blow a chance with the cartilage of my nose
    Just to show you how to really move

    I'll show you how to really move

    If I could just do these things
    If I could maybe do these things
    Each and every day wouldn't pass
    The way that they so often do
    That they so often do
    Maybe just maybe
    Life would be everything we wanted it to be.

    I'll show you how to really move
    I'll show you how to really move

  73. j.... ....

    I'd like to take this time to detach my jaw,
    And really take a look. I think that I'm tired.
    Put away this old guitar and on my way
    I'll hang my vocal cords up on the door.

    If I could just do these things
    If I could maybe do these things
    Each and every day wouldn't pass
    The way that they so often do
    That they so often do
    Maybe just maybe
    Life would be everything we wanted it to be.

  74. j.... ....

    i liked
    their last album more

    "Alls Well That Ends Well"but this slbum frekin rocks too!

  75. M.... ....

    Okay just to clarify. 1 album that comes with 2 cds does not count as two albums. Meaning that they only have 4.
    Im sorry Im an ass about that, but it gets on my nerves when people confuse the term album and cd.

  76. D.... S....

    oh wow, how completely n00bish of me, i completelly overlooked there old school days,

    touche

    either way, c hiodos fucking rocks

  77. D.... S....

    2, technically 3.
    they have Alls well that ends well, then technically they have alls well that ends well (reissue), and then theres Bone Palace Ballet

  78. C.... P....

    AWESOME Chiodos is BEST!!!!

  79. E.... J....

    definitely amazing. Chiodos and their new music is a sign that they can never stop being amazing. =]

  80. K.... T....

  81. M.... G....

    but you still hear that nice chiodos sound...
