Falling Out of Love at This Volume Lyrics
Let me do the right thing
Let me do the wrong thing
And if it's ever this clear
I will only say it once
Just let me turn the amps way up
So you can hear nothing
And if I die tonight, then I guess I die tonight
Let me go on
Just say what you wanted to say
I cannot stand these talks, dear
They only get us nowhere
It's never resolved
We only run around
You always say that anyone could be just like me
If it was a different time and a different place to be
You would go on

"and if i die tonight then i guess i die tonight" my life philosiphy. bah..relationships blow. we all know that. but conor is amazing, every song that he churns out is just phenomenal.

this song is one of conor's more obvious songs when it comes to meaning, i think. take the title very literal. "falling out of love at this volume". i think this song is about how he gets in fights with a girl and tunes her out by turning up the music. he just doesnt care what she has to say because hes not in love with her anymore.

to a person below...
bright eyes isn't an "emo" band. i'm sorry i just get really annoyed when people refer to the great and talented conor oberst as emo.

i think this song is about verbal fighting in a relationship. in a way, this song applies to most relationships. i can relate to it in a way... when my girlfriend starts bitching about something that i don't want to hear, i tend to find something to tune her out. she does the same with me too. although this song goes a little more in depth. i can just see conor playing his guitar and some girl yelling "you're worthless... i wish you would die" or "i could always be with someone else". to me, it seems like it's about participating in a relationship because you don't know how else to live. i could be way off base here and probably am. oh well.

good stuff.

Ahhh...Bright Eyes. Such a good emo band. =) Modest Mouse and Bright Eyes have to be my favs, and I love this song. ^^ Makes me wanna dance.

This song sounds so different from most other Bright Eyes songs. I really like it.

this is like one of my top songs in the entire world. so sad and happy. i love conor.

This is probably my favorite Bright Eyes song. Just something about the beat and his voice together... its just amazing.

i just got into bright eyes, and they are truely amazeing...this song is my favorite as of now
