Senses Fail - Yellow Angels Lyrics






As the car begins to roll
I smile as I lose control
This weightlessness is such a gift
'Cause gravity has lost its hold
I see the sky and then the ground
Kaleidoscope of light and sound
Catching flashes of my life
Just then the house lights all went out
I want to know myself so bad it hurts
I am a shelf holding unread words

I've said goodbye so many times in my life
I'm surprised it's still so hard for me
To see that I should start living my life
Or I will die unfulfilled and empty

I come to still in the chair
As yellow angels step with care
My spinal cord still sending shocks
But my life's in need of repair
There's got to be more than this
I don't want to just exist
As a hollow house for bones
More alone every minute
Is there a place where I can start again?

I've said goodbye so many times in my life
I'm surprised it's still so hard for me
To see that I should start living my life
Or I will die unfulfilled and empty

Wake up, you're sleeping
Wake up, you're sleeping behind the wheel
Wake up, you're sleeping
Wake up, you're sleeping behind the wheel
Wake up, you're sleeping
Wake up, you're sleeping behind the wheel

  1. C.... C....

    Good music




    Still here 2019

  2. L.... G....

    Study hall, middle school, a whole decade ago. We sat there listening to this. All alone. Emo as fuck. Drooling over a notebook writing stupid nothings into it. Only to have your teacher rip the headphones off your head because you started singing "WAKE UP YOURE SLEEPING" and you didn't even realize it.

    Or was this just me.

    2018 fam. We still out here.

  3. J.... F....

    Underrated band.

  4. J.... C....

    Wonder why they don't play this live

    J.... C....

    J Carl If I’m not mistaken I think Garrett Zablocki had said for certain songs require special equipments to play live that’s why this song and some other songs they never played live.

  5. C.... ....

    This is the only sense fail song I still listen to after all these years

    C.... ....

    why? they have so many good songs!

  6. D.... S....

    I do like this one a lot. Not a big Senses Fail fan anymore, but this is a great song with a lot of emotion put to it.

  7. C.... C....

    Thank You :)

  8. P.... N....

    You know what i love about this band,  I like every single fucking song they make....Most albums you listen to you find a few on there that you like,    i can listen to almost every single song they have made and go damn...love this shit

    P.... N....

    @Yhek Yet
    Because people have shit taste these days. They are too busy listening to bullshit made by people like Justin quieber and one erection.

  9. k.... r....

    R.I.R big bro. I loved you!

  10. N.... ....

    Wish they made a video for this song!

  11. u.... ....

    uhm iTunes. buy their cds...

  12. M.... V....

    They are, but not near as much as they should be. They're hands down my favorite band!

  13. M.... V....

    They're actually pretty popular...

  14. K.... M....

    I think you have it right.

  15. C.... ....

    This is my favorite track off this cd. It means so much to me. I miss you Jenna. You were the first person to ever be nice to me and gave me hope when I first came to high school. A year later you got into a car accident and my world went back to being shit despite actually having friends. You had so much potential, you were the definition of a human being and you will forever be in my heart<3

    C.... ....

    CGFAN420 ❤️

  16. P.... ....

    @Bradley McDaniel: you can get all their tracks off iTunes or your nearest music store

  17. t.... ....

    You know they say songs mean different things to different people, I don't know if this is actually what the meaning of the song is, but this is what it means to me. People live their lives asleep behind the wheel, not really living their life but just going through the motions. Until one day they have a 'car crash' and all of a sudden they can actually see the world, and realize what they're missing and that if they don't start living their lives now, they'll die unfulfilled and empty.

    t.... ....

    6 years late, but i read the song is about when buddy met a fan of the band who was terminally ill

  18. d.... ....

    Loved these song too much had to get life's not a waiting room : )

  19. B.... M....

    Any one know where I can get EVERY single song by them????

  20. k.... n....

    They're pretty mainstream and have gotten due recognition. I been jamming to this shit since 7th grade man. That's like 7 or 8 years haha

  21. D.... A....

    1089eflores aw, i'll be your new best friend. :'(

  22. K.... M....

    Musically, "Let It Enfold You" is their best awesome. Lyrically, "Still Searching" is their best album. Emotionally, "Life Is Not A Waiting Room" is their best album.

  23. g.... ....

    This song gives me goosebumps

  24. E.... F....

    RIP Marcel Pena. We were best friends since we were 3 years old. Lived just two houses away... This song is Exactly how I feel. Buddy is a genius with lyrics!

  25. L.... V....

    oh that makes me feel so much better now.

  26. j.... b....

    @NorCal4Life925breh no! they are fine where they are,lets not make them like a band who is going to premier on Disney xD

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

    @kungsmurfen only a few songs have them but the follow up album to this (The Fire) had more

  28. L.... W....

    @kungsmurfen theyre here..just in like ali for cody and other ones haha

  29. k.... ....

    I think this album is good... but what happened to the screams? :(

  30. R.... A....

    Just then the house lights all went out.

  31. F.... ....

    @bvans187 Glad I could help..."The Fire" is an album that surprised me with awesomeness. After Life is not a waiting room I felt that they were gonna fade away, but little did I realize that Buddy still has the licks and the talent to put others to shame.

  32. B.... V....

    @FortKnite thank you, just convinced me to buy their album.

  33. T.... C....

    I remember my boyfriend wanted me to listen to this right before we got together and now it gives me chills......jeez memories....

  34. M.... ....

    fucking beautiful ending to this song. I love the wake up you're sleeping behind the wheel lines in this song and "four years"

  35. F.... ....

    @heythisislauren Then you haven't listened to "The Fire", and I've been a fan since their ep. But if you have a good relationship with your father, you don't drink, and you don't question religion and your position in the universe then you might not like it.

  36. h.... ....

    i think life is not a waiting room is their best album

  37. 0.... ....

    i get goosebumps every time this song even starts up. buddy doesnt even have to sing yet lmao

  38. m.... g....

    yeah! is a great song

  39. t.... ....

    they put soul into music, thank you SF

  40. J.... D....

    i love the emotion they put behind all these songs, it makes them so easy to relate to. thank you senses fail <3

  41. a.... ....

    @sensesfail70 exactly what i always tell people...dont tell me whats right because nobody has the fucking answers

  42. M.... ....

    marcel was a guy with cancer who sadly died. buddy had met him.

  43. h.... ....

    @rocksickkle I'm sorry if u've had some sort of fallin out with a religion, we never know nor understand what he has planned for us, just remember "Jesus loves you" lol i'm kidding don't freak out on me

  44. r.... ....

    @hiimanitra ...That was ridiculously stupid, I hope you know.

  45. h.... ....

    @rocksickkle my comments are just like music, if u don't want to listen to it then don't turn it on/don't read them

  46. r.... ....

    @hiimanitra Not everyone wants to hear the bullshit, though.

  47. h.... ....

    @rocksickkle ever heard of evangilization, if i didn't say something what kind of christian would i be, what kind of catholic,at least i practice what i preach

  48. r.... ....

    @hiimanitra Orrrrr, we throw bullshit religion out and keep to ourselves, hmm?

  49. V.... ....

    "Wake up you're sleeping behind the wheel"

    This line is used in two different songs. This one and "Four Years"

  50. h.... ....

    @Cakedkicksass Sorry don't smoke but obviously you do which explains your illogical reply, it's called a GED oh and logical thinking

  51. h.... ....

    @klap00 If the said person died and went to heaven there is eternal happiness there our grief and misery over their death is pure selfishness. We are sad because they are no longer a part of our lives. Why not instead celebrate their lives and coming into christ and eternal happines.

  52. S.... ....

    @TheFurryFanboy aha yeah, i was like whatt?

  53. t.... ....

    great song those 4 people who disliked it have no friends -__-

  54. r.... ....

    @marathoon1 besides, all things require energy to exist. Where is the energy source for a perpetual post death thought?

  55. J.... Z....

    I think this song is about a struggling crack head that wants out of his hollow, drug addicted life. I could be wrong but like, they way i see it... it really makes sense. 1st verse describes who the addict feels when he does the drug and how it lets him loose control and be free. The 2nd verse describes how he's done with the drug now but it's not done with him. Even if he doesn't want it, his body needs it now. All he wants to do is re-start. This is his "rock-bottom" point.

  56. m.... ....

    @nikademis22 if we're quoting newton here mate, you may as well know that newtons first law applies to physical objects. a though is not a physical object as such =(

  57. K.... ....

    Pick up that can.

  58. j.... ....

    @klap00 he isnt dead. i just saw him live last week

  59. L.... C....

    Wait!!!!!! who died???????

  60. V.... ....

    @klap00 how can you tell? have you ever been dead? maybe that's why no one comes back, because it's so good =D

    xD

  61. i.... ....

    @sensesfail70 dead people can prove it

  62. A.... ....

    @JMay488 lol well good music you can never put a real label on it :) and thumbs down? you're at 25 thumbs UP haha xD , 26 now!

  63. C.... W....

    all these comments i read make me feel bad even though i don't know anything about what some bands go through.

  64. g.... ....

    Freaking love the end when he starts singing " wake up"

  65. I.... ....

    @JMay488

  66. M.... ....

  77. L.... O....

  78. D.... ....

    Its to show that the songs are connected... Senses Fail uses a lot of meaning in their songs, its actually really great how they used that part at the end more than the once.

  79. e.... ....

  84. M.... P....

    The "Wake up, you're sleeping, wake up, you're sleeping behind the wheel," lyrics are amazing. They are in their song Four Years too.

  94. b.... s....

    decent lyrics and sounds awesome. :)
