Social Distortion - Footprints On My Ceiling Lyrics
Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
what may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past
wanna go without a care
pull Gardenias from her hair
captivated by her beauty I knew it was my life long duty
she had all the grace and charm of a radiant queen
How do you talk without speaking? yeah!
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? yeah!
How do you take without giving?
And keep it all inside?
There are footprints on my ceiling
something's wrong, you ain't coming 'round here no more
try to get my thoughts together
I think of a time when things were better
this miscommunication is breaking me down
How do you talk without speaking? yeah!
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? yeah!
How do you take without giving?
How you treat your new best friend?
Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
what may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past
my heart is heavy slowly sinking
I redirect my desperate thinking
And kiss her red full lips like I did the very first time
How do you talk without speaking? yeah!
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? yeah!
How do you take without giving?
There are footprints on my ceiling, yeah!
And I kept it bottled up inside... all my life.

They call themselves a punk rock band but his lyrics are so deep and so meaningful it's incredible!!! I'll admit it at times I tear up!! His lyrics and his songs are so underrated
"Footprints On My Ceiling"
Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
what may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past

How do you talk without speaking? yeah!
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? yeah!
How do you take without giving?
And keep it all inside?
There are footprints on my ceiling
I can't help this fucked up feeling
something's wrong, you ain't coming 'round here no more
try to get my thoughts together
I think of a time when things were better
this miscommunication is breaking me down

How do you live without feeling
I got in this band when I was 16 and it's when I started playing guitar and became a sick boy since then and this was the first album and that's like almost 15 yrs ago long live social d

Love this tune. Obviously about love and the pain that goes with it. But one thing I don't understand, whose footprints?? At first I think its the footprints of the girl he loved and lost. All the way until the last line when he says he kept it bottled up inside all his life. Makes me wonder if he cheated on her and they are someone else's footprints and he the can't take the guilt. Or maybe "footprints on my ceiling" is a metaphor for something else? Someone steer me in the right direction.
Take it however you want. Perhaps either distress he's kept bottled up because he realises he's been cheated on, or guilt because he cheated

The Song Remember on 14Years Frankfurt/Main
This album was solid and I almost feel like some of their more renowned older albums are weaker and typically I am the guy who is like the earliest stuff is the best. I find it hard to believe people don't like this album or "Hard Rhymes."
And I kept it bottled up.. all my life..
There are footprints on my ceiling I can't help this fucked up feeling!!!

No one like Mike Ness..f*cking awesome song
best song ever
the young woman I loved had a painful past. She had to leave our relationship because of severe depression. Every lyric in this song applies to me, every one.
libtard losers
Umm ok?
Great Jam!
Great music never gets old!!! Love
\
Mike Ness. Lyrical Genius 💯🙌🏼🤘🏻🤘🏻
One bad guitar too.
fuckin Good music!!!
This song is so good!
I can't understand what he is saying save footprints
... I could be wrong, but for me, it's laying on my bed thinking about my life. Things I've done, people i've known and loved ones that have passed on. i "see" them above the ceiling walking around in memories of old. My grandad especially. We lost him in '87 when i was 16. As I look back, that was the start of a long spiral down into DEEP depression. I think of how much I've screwed up in life. Sometimes intentional, but most times not. I just hope that when someone (if anyone) sees my footprints on their ceiling, I hope i leave a smile on their face....
footprints on my ceiling means "the memories of the ones who've walked through your life and all is left is the memory of them" translated to "memories in my head"
Jim Hinkle no, I dont mean I dont understand the meaning, I just cannot understand what words he is saying. it sounds all jumbled
Oh, I see. lol yeah Mike's pronunciation isn't the greatest.
I've had countless chicks, whom I've introduced to this band, wanting this to be our song.
and I just said no. they ain't going to ruin my favorite band
Hahaha I am so right there with you . Hahaha I cannot count how many woman I have turned on to this song. I am 49, been a die-hard Social D and Orange county punk fan the whole time. I just tell em', " girl, you don't know what your asking for " hahaha then I just shake my head. Hahaha Bravo Justin! Hahaha God I thought I was the only one! Hahaha
Mike wrote a master piece with this one.
Good. Women are amazing but they'll rip your fucking heart out.
Hell yeah
I cry deeply for this song .... was one my father's favorite songs .... rest in peace ... daddy
sorry to hear about your pops
Social distortion is the best this is mine and my man song
Andrea Newsome a father of 5 myself, hope your good, hope my kids think of me when they hear this or any of social D when I'm gone, go easy sweetheart I got 2 daughters you hit me rite in the heart!
Semper fi
@cowboy juggernaut ... That was hard to read.
@marc atkinson emotionally or physically lol
How can a song get it so dead on
Danielle Bilbija Social D has quite a few dead on’s..
Wenn ich ehrlich bin muss ich zugeben: Nach dem white light...album habe ich ein paar Wochen gebraucht, um mir den Nachfolger gefällig zu hören. Allerdings hat es sich als in etwa so nachhaltig dargestellt wie sein Vorgänger, also für mich persönlich...
Rock on
legendary
We lost our platoon medic, CPL Jessica Ellis, 7 years ago today. Our platoon dedicated this to her. She's with us always.
blitz849 by saying Sempre Fie*, I feel you shouldnt be calling us brothers and sisters of yours
I've never served, but countless members of my family have. I am deeply sorry for the loss of someone so great. May she rest in peace💓
Ope, my comment is 2 years late but my statement still stands
RIP Doc Ellis
I play this song in a band's set all the time and now have a fresh dedication. RIP Cpl Ellis
I love you so much Carrie! The life and love we experienced together, no one can take that away! We'll always love and wish you were here with us Chesney! HAPPY BIRTHDAY

She had all the grace and charm of a radiant queen
