Story Behind the Song
The motivation behind this song came after I found out who my true friends really were. The lyrics deal with a guy who needs to really dig deep and find out wether he should "fight or flight." (Explaining the psychological response an individual has to any given situation) For the most part this song started out as an ad-lib session and then grew with paper and pen. The song came naturally with the words, which resulted in just a few takes. The back-up vocals on the demo took that much longer with Lance tracing his vocals again.
Lyrics
End of Man
did you ever wonder
where you were when you heard
that song in your head?
the phone is off the hook and your not listening
plotting behind my back
what kind of friend you are?
fade away, to the ending of the day
\i know it's not right, just to see through the colored glass again
i wonder what your thinking all day long
just saying these things about me, vengence with this song
in the end what will you see when your lying down, stone cold dead
in the distance, in the distance a-way
you gotta know, running away
-it's fight or flight-
running away from me again
can't see straight, run and hide
run(extend)
take one step- at a time
\everyday is a new day, counting your steps
when you walk, everday i'm just slipping further
pull up your sleeve then, is going, going away
you gotta go, running away
it's fight or flight
just can't see straight, when your here
you gotta know, run and hide it's fight or flight
one choice- equals this
take it down
one, two count it for yourself and you know
end of man, end of man, end of man
put your back against the wall
1, 2
put your back against the wall
1-2
put your back against the wall
again
i know it's right- end of man - run and hide
ohhh ohhhh
it's end of time
you run and hide
RUN AWAY
it's fight or flight
end ...of man (extend)
run and hide
end of man end of man end of man
run away
run away
runnnnnn
run away from me again
