lyrics
So you wake up one fi ne day
And half your life has passed
And you’re getting nervous
About the stuff you never had
The wrong choices you’ve made,
That led you where you are
The things you should have known,
The aim you never really found
But you gotta admit it, Yeah it’s time to confess
The blame is all on you for having never even tried
To do the things for fun,
And just because you can
And when you look at the old man,
In the mirror in front of you
Through washed out eyes
You perceive a worn-out life
And the clock caught up on you
And made you really tired
And yet you gotta think
About pushing things forward
Nobody really wants to spend his life complaining
Nobody wants to listen to
Your never-ending moans
Cuz He not busy being born is busy dying
And the only thing you like,
The only thing you know
Is to play this goddamn guitar yeah
But how far will it go
When you have a family and friends
Counting on you
And you can’t aff ord to show them
All the scars and the doubts
It already happened once, contemplating suicide
Well it won’t solve anything,
Only make a few really sad
So you pretend that you’re fine,
But inside you’re burning!
You gotta try to
Change and succeed
But that’s no easy way
Change and succeed
There ain’t no other way
And half your life has passed
And you’re getting nervous
About the stuff you never had
The wrong choices you’ve made,
That led you where you are
The things you should have known,
The aim you never really found
But you gotta admit it, Yeah it’s time to confess
The blame is all on you for having never even tried
To do the things for fun,
And just because you can
And when you look at the old man,
In the mirror in front of you
Through washed out eyes
You perceive a worn-out life
And the clock caught up on you
And made you really tired
And yet you gotta think
About pushing things forward
Nobody really wants to spend his life complaining
Nobody wants to listen to
Your never-ending moans
Cuz He not busy being born is busy dying
And the only thing you like,
The only thing you know
Is to play this goddamn guitar yeah
But how far will it go
When you have a family and friends
Counting on you
And you can’t aff ord to show them
All the scars and the doubts
It already happened once, contemplating suicide
Well it won’t solve anything,
Only make a few really sad
So you pretend that you’re fine,
But inside you’re burning!
You gotta try to
Change and succeed
But that’s no easy way
Change and succeed
There ain’t no other way

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic.

This album is AZip's best since Andiamo, maybe even A Passage In Time. And that's a high bar for a band that couldn't put out a bad studio album if they tried. There's hints of every previous album. Even fans who think the band went downhill after Passage should like this one.
