Fall Of Troy, The - Caught Up Lyrics






Too done up, I've said too much,
It always seems like I do.
All because people don't learn,
They'd much rather teach the truth.

Better kept secret,
Waiting on a better day.
When everything is self-destructive,
I can't explain myself anyway.

So I'll make my apologies.
Just as soon as you turn away,
It's as bad as bad can get.
Is anyone listening?

Better kept secret,
Waiting on a better day.
When everything is self-destructive,
I can't explain myself anyway.

If I could, you know I would,
Hypocrisy that's understood.
It's meaningless at best,
Nothing's making sense.

Here right now I'll put this down,
To pull you in and hear the sound.
A living silhouette with nothing to give back.

I'm caught up...

    @christine4595  It can be counted in 3/4 or 6/4, which are essentially the same time signature if you really get down to it one is just a faster version of the other if both in the same BPM.  And also because there is nothing to actually symbolize the end or beginning of a measure (i.e. snare, kick, etc.) it can be argued either way.  At the pace of this particular song it'd be easiest to count in 6's than 3's (in my opinion) but obviously Erak counts it 3's considering he gives a 3 count at the beginning of the song.  Being a musician of 15 years, I know it is most logical to count in the way you give the start count.  Giving a 3 beat start then counting in 6's would just be difficult when you consider your also singing and playing.

    Z.... M....

    3/4 is NOT the same as 6/4. In 6/4 like 6/8 there's an accent on the first and 4th note of the measure. So that would make it Bam 2 3, Bam, 5, 6. This song clearly has a feel in 3/4.

    Z.... M....

    Imagine my example written in numbers as how hard/loud a tone is played. The first tone will always be the one with the most accentuation, lets give it the number 3 (or strength 3) and most measures also have a second accentuated tone (that one will have the number 2 or strength 2), the rest of the notes will be regular non accentuated with the number 1 (or strength 1). Now the difference between 2 measure of 3/4 and 1 measure of 6/4 is, that the accentuation on 2 measures of 3/4 would be 3 2 1 3 2 1 the accentuauation on one measure of 6/4 would be 3 1 1 2 1 1. It is a little difference that might not be heard all the time (especially if there is no rhythm instrument involved) but maybe this helps you get the idea that there technically is a difference ;)

  10. A.... E....

    grande robertita!, gracias por subir

    A.... E....

    de nada christian! no podía no estar esta obra de arte en youtube

  12. Z.... S....

    The fuck are you talking about...?

  13. R.... ....

  14. S.... ....

    this song reminds me of good times.. strung out in the depths of an opiate binge

  15. l.... ....

    False. 6/4 definitely exists. Shit, Nine inch nails has a song in 13/8.

    It's not a fraction. First number = beats in measure, 2nd number = type of increment you count it in.

  16. r.... ....

    3/4 and 6/4 are the same, only difference is that 2 bars of 3/4 = 1 bar of 6/4. And the song is obviously in 3/4, it even opens with the count for you in the form of hitting muted strings. Did none of you ever attempt to learn an instrument? I learned about time signatures when I was like 6 years old learning recorder, c'mon now.

  17. J.... G....

    6/4 means a quarter note gets one beat, and that there are 6 beats in a measure. 4/6 is impossible.

    This was the FIRST thing I learned in music classes too. -_-

  18. M.... M....

    Loving Arms (acoustic) by Pepper

  19. a.... ....

  20. J.... L....

    I think it's 3/4 >.>

  21. J.... L....

    6/4 = 12/8, isn't it?

  22. B.... S....

    There's no such time signature as 6/4, so it can't be

  23. B.... A....

    I really need to stop doing coke...

    B.... A....

    so did u stop?

  24. S.... D....

    Your gay!

  25. a.... ....

    i thought it was 3/4... that's how i count it at least

  26. J.... K....

    @imoneyg Really? I could swear it's 6/4. I'll give the song a listen again.

  27. i.... ....

    @jonahrulez It's 6/8

  39. b.... ....

    @ghostae138 truly. He is such a musician. He is my only inspiration.

  40. m.... ....

    @BHHislife marry me instead

  41. J.... q....

    my boyfriend loves this song, he plays it alot.
    the other day he said to me "you smile every time i put this on."
    ..i do. :)

  42. d.... ....

    This song gives me a feeling that no other song I've ever listened to has gave me.

  43. g.... a....

    3 people r deft, blind, and retarded. and they still loved this song their hands just slipped

  44. L.... B....

    oh God...someone finally understands

  45. J.... H....

    OMG i am so suprised this is the first time i have heard this. it is amazing, another new favorite

  46. C.... B....

    i absolutely love this song so much.

  47. J.... ....

    just a man and his machine

  48. d.... ....

    my second favourite ssong on this album. the first being ex-creations

  49. J.... D....

    cut the crap,great fuckin song.One of the best from manipulator

  50. T.... H....

    I love this song because I love all music. And I love The Fall of Troy, so for me, its a win all the way.

  51. a.... ....

    Anyone who doesn't get why this song is so "gay" or slow. It's because this one is about thomas' struggle exclusively. Every song they make is bassically the same energy of the lyrics, and the feelings they bring out. being projected vocally and instrumentally. But this one is about a personal struggle that thomas had, and the feeling of lonliness that a problem only you feel like you understand, and could never explain, brings out. It's a layered metaphore, not a break from thrashing.

  52. D.... ....

    @Llama4Prez Thanks for writing quite possibly the best comment ever to be posted on youtube, especially on one of my most favourite songs. More Youtubers need the open-mindedness that you have.

  53. D.... ....

    @thouartaviking I agree so much; One of the best songs from The Fall of Troy, even though it's basically Thomas Erak alone.

  54. d.... ....

    @Llama4Prez you are a wise person, my friend, and you speak the truth in a place where most feel they have to hide behind viewpoints, instead of embracing the views of others, and, while not necessarily agreeing with them, not putting them down just because they are different from their own.

  55. S.... M....

    god i love this fucking song

  56. s.... ....

    @Llama4Prez chaos? thats exactly the opposite of how i feel is other songs are like...some are just perfectly peaceful...but ive just proved your point...

  57. J.... M....

    @dtdude1992 probably, considering i went with you!! haha best day ever...in history

  58. d.... ....

    @joshmags777 oh my gosh i was there too!!!!!! i wonder if i saw you there ;)

  59. N.... S....

    @8JobForAMexican8 just about 9 years. More if you're counting The Thirty years War, a band that Andrew, Thomas, and Tim were all a part of before The Fall of Troy. The only real difference was the fact that they had a fourth member, Mike Munro then.

  60. J.... M....

    i went to bamboozle to see them a couple weeks ago and i talked to Andrew after the show and he said he wants to go back to school and maybe become a teacher

  61. S.... C....

    Hey, we can't all love every single song. Give the guy a break. In order to find out if you like songs, you gotta give them a chance. I mean, chances are he didn't look the damn song up, just checked it out because of the artist.

    Come on people. Lighten the fuck up.

  62. S.... C....

    Hahaha... shows**

  63. S.... C....

    Ah, but it's not a SHITTY song. It's a good song. It's a song that shoes off his vocal talent. It's not like TFOT's other songs - doesn't make it utter shit. C'mon man, harsh words. It's not my type of music either, but I can't deny that there's great musicianship going on here.

    I'm seeing them on their last tour on the 1st!!!! STOOOKED.

  64. C.... T....

    @exsymphony haha dude, you're a big serious fan of these guys. I don't blame you. I was sad when they broke up and their music was so diverse, something new, no one has ever tried doing stuff like this. But it was a good 7+ years and I'm going to see them on their last tour before they depart. I wonder what Thomas, Frank, and Andrew will do now?

  65. M.... ....

    thomas is the musical genious of our time

  66. Q.... ....

    second fret on A string and 4th fret and D string with everything else open

  67. i.... ....

    @pieiscoolyo then you should love the new album lol

  68. D.... M....

    This is most defintely my favorite song of theirs but apparently most people don't think so.... This song = <3

  69. a.... ....

    i love this song, i can just about play along to the video i just mess up the slide a bit since my gutiar's not cut away :(

  70. Z.... M....

    You guys must be Redditors. Am I right?

  71. C.... A....

    No it wasn't; you should go back and check again. You can't smash what was never there, you schizophrenic psycho...

  72. C.... A....

    Wasn't that the focus of this in the first place? I think you've forgotten exactly which comments section you're in.

  73. C.... A....

    Right, it's obvious that you're at the end of your abilties, you're going to start repeating the same fallacies over and over. I'm going to leave before it stops being funny and just gets sad; you ended the argument the moment you petulantly refused to elaborate on your criticism, although it had the opposite effect you'd intended.

  74. C.... A....

    Although I already know the result, it's really funny to see you flounder like this, trying to satisfy your insecure need to be right, not having the brains to back it up.

  75. C.... A....

    and when I gave you the chance to win the argument then and there by displaying this valid opinion you start spouting bullshit about already having won! It's actually hilarious to see someone so stupid try to prove themselves intellectually. As I've said before, you can demonstrate this valid critique which you were unfairly ostracized for, or you can fail and admit you're a sad dumb little shit simply by failing to do so. It's an ultimatum, and a simple one at that.

  76. C.... A....

    At first I called you out on your bullshit comment, which proceeded until you made some asinine statement about non-Fall of Troy fans outnumbering Fall of Troy fans legitimizing your opinion that was outnumbered by fall of Troy fans, which I responded to by saying outside fans are moot since they not involved in the critique. You then grasped at the notion that people were mindlessly down-voting your valid argument out of vapid adoration for the band...
    -----continued

  77. C.... A....

    You're right, you're obviously being unfairly marginalized for sharing a valid opinion. Please, allow me to give you the chance to set the records straight by prompting you to expound your well-thought and reasoned criticism of this song. Well?

  78. C.... A....

    The issue was within Fall of Troy fans and so non-Fall of Troy fans opinions are moot concerning your judgment as "their worst song". You chose to express your comment to a specific group and the validation of your opinion is obvious. If you really feel the need to go express it to some Metallica fans then go right a-fucking-head, but until then it's a non-issue.
    Please stop trying be right, it's just not going to happen.

  79. C.... A....

    Wrong. You're at negative 9 now, and with the lack of any support for your comment your opinion is at 9 to 1. Obviously your opinion is unpopular, unsubstantiated and shite. Now dwell in your dank basement in peace and spare me your attempts at anymore witticisms.

  80. T.... F....

    I quite like this song, it is different to their other stuff, sure, but it's like a breathe of fresh air on the album and the lyrics are still good and it has a catchy melody.

  81. D.... P....

    they wanted to do something different for once. dont bash them dude. i'd like to see you produce something one tenth as amazing as this is

  82. a.... ....

    you were saying it like you didn't know.

  83. a.... ....

    the guitarist and singer are the same person

  84. F.... N....

    did he just say "listen-en-ing"?!

  85. a.... ....

    The guitar in this is so creative, i love how it goes from like happy upbeat major sounding chords and switches to minor sounding ones in the verses

  86. c.... ....

    awsome jam

  87. D.... P....

    i really like this song. :} but i think what tom is saying in the lyrics is that he really likes this girl but he cant tell her cause he thinks he would sound like an idiot trying to tell her so he keeps it a secret until one day he can tell her exactly how he feels. haha. well thats what i think. :P

    TFOT IS FUCKIN' INSANE! :D

  88. S.... ....

    gud point

  89. C.... ....

    Because You Care. =]

  90. N.... ....

    Ya but come on knowing the fall of troy they were probably thinking of calling this "Apologies Mean Nothing Without a Sundae" but still good song

  91. N.... ....

    Se nota que tomas tiene un gran talento, y no hablo de como toca la guitarra, tambien sabe cantar bien, cosa k no se puede apreciar en los conciertos por el alto ruido de lso instrumentos.
    Igualmente me encantan todas las canciones de TFOT,Caught up" es la cnacion mas trankila diria yo xD, = prefiero el album the phantom of the horizont
    TFOT Rulez

  92. M.... S....

    One of my favorite songs on Manipulator.
    Caused they're all my favorite!
    :P

  93. S.... ....

    this song really shows toms talent in his originality in guitar and his lyrical and vocal skills. i love the lyrics. i think its about a guy who fucked up but cant tell the truth. eventually he realizes he is screwed.or something along those lines

  94. I.... M....

    sledgehammer and quarter past dude

  95. F.... ....

    wat
    random commenter u make no sense. and your a homo so i win.

  96. F.... ....

    he never says the ghostship ttiles

  97. T.... N....

    the songs that match their title would be this, sledgehammer, quarter past, and the ghostship songs
