[Verse 1]
Quick change of mood when you came in
Then we can for invincible alliance
Your growing fond of deception
All the things you forget to mention
And every indiscretion pushes me further away
[Chorus]
Desperate, do you ever grow tired of begging?
I know, I know, I'd rather live with nothing
Negative maybe but I've been working on it
[Post-Chorus]
We are growing more and more distant
We are growing more and more distant
[Verse 2]
Miss model mess hit the pavement
Young debutante formed a habit
Measures that may seem drastic
Whatever makes you feel accepted
But I'm going south for the season
With nothing but a paper back companion
And mine is the only opinion
With which I'll have to agree
[Chorus]
Desperate, do you ever grow tired of begging?
I know, I know, I'd rather live with nothing
Negative, maybe but I've been working on it
[Bridge]
Each and every under pass that bears the declaration
Of a dated love affair and the number of Satan
I was educated there by the commuter station
The burdens you're bearing with threaten to break
The back of the widow that weeps when she wakes
[Pre-Chorus]
We are growing more and more distant
We are growing more
[Chorus]
Desperate, do you ever grow tired of begging?
I know, I know, I'd rather live with nothing
Mark expresses how he’d rather be independent than to have to rely on others, even if this independence is hard. It’s a negative way of thinking but he’s working on his actions and hopefully they will produce positive results, be it slowly.
Some people, even raised in posh and high class, will do anything to be accepted. Even if detrimental to their wellbeing.
Autumn to Ashes is a band from Long Island New York so it’s safe to assume this reference is a woman as stunning as Lady Liberty. Lady Liberty was given to America by the French in good gesture. The French supported the American Revolution and this could be a reference to a first nervous but then ‘invincible alliance’.
