The Academy Is...: The Phrase That Pays Meaning

The Phrase That Pays Lyrics

My eyes can't believe what they have seen.
In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories.
Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow.
I'm going to ask you a series of questions,
And I want them answered on...

   This song is pretty much about how we don't realize how precious life is, and to make something out of it while it lasts. It doesn't matter how long your life span is, no time is worth wasting. It's not a very hard to interpret song, but a true, timeless message.

   Hold your head high heavy heart.
   So take a chance and make it big,
   Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
   If we don't take it, when will we make it?
   I make plans to break plans,
   And I've been planning something big, planning something big, planning.
   
   OK, this is definitely about not waisting your life with bullshit, life is too short. Obviously ok.

   I find this song to be about how much a persons life can really suck. If you have seen the video, its pretty obvious. I mean come on! But it's about death and why people are afraid of death in a sense. But its something that is going to happen and you have to learn to deal with it. Life sucks and then you die.

   This song is about enjoying life and when it says "hold your head high heavy heart" they're just talking 2 all of their fans saying, I know life sucks, but just enjoy being young while you can, because it all ends so quickly.
