The World is Black

[the freak]

(The Good Charlotte song) If you haven't heard the song, here are the lyrics:

<P align=center>Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight, You see the same damn thing it's just a different day And no one really knows why this is happening (but it's happening) And everywhere you go it's just a different place You get the same dark feelings, see the same sad faces And no one really cares that this is happening We come into this world and we are all the same And in that moment there's no one to blame (chorus)| But the world is black and hearts are cold And there's no hope That's what we're told And we can't go back It won't be the same Forever changed By the things we've seen, seen| Living in this place has always been this way There's no one doing nothing so there's nothing changed And I can't live when this world just keeps dying, it's dying People always tell me this is part of the plan That God's got everybody in his hands, But I could only pray that God is listening (is he listening) Living in this world Growing colder every day Nothing can stay perfect now I see |Cause the world is black And hearts are cold And there's no hope That's what we're told And we can't go back It won't be the same Forever changed by the things we've seen, seen |We come into this world And we are all the same And in that moment there's no one to blame But we're living in this world Growing colder every day Nothing can stay perfect now I see |The world is black, and hearts are cold And there's no hope That's what we're told And we can't go back (we can't go back) It won't be the same (it won't be the same) Forever changed (we're forever changed) By the things we've seen, seen Turn on channel 7 at a quarter to eight You see the same damn thing it's just a different And no one really knows why this is happening...

<P align=left>I'm just curious to know your opinions/thoughts/views on this song. Anyone?

mmm. I'd say It's probably not the kind of thing the Samaritans would want to use for their 'on hold' music.

[3Styler]

absoloutely awful, shocking even. theyr trying too hard to put some 'edge' into it"growing colder every day" and "see the same sad faces" and it just so forced and faked, not to mention ive seen these type of lyrics in a million other songs but at least with other bands its slightly meaningful, listen to some real music like radiohead or muse where the edge is naturally flowing.  good charlotte are so bad i'd swear its not possible to have a music taste and like them. 

[3Styler]

i cant even believe i wasted my time answering this lame question

[the freak]

I am so sick of people dissing Good Charlotte, although you do have a right to your opinion, 3styler. But you know what? I don't care. I am a Good Charlotte fan, I love their music, and I'll keep loving it, thank you very much.

[3Styler]

ok the freak (?) , you keep listening to your precious good charlotte, i was just reccomending some better alternatives but its your choice, though do bear in mind my comments on how good charlotte is all so manufactured, and if you truly dont care please dont bother the rest of the sane music world with your inane questions, ok?

[3Styler]

especially since that you werent interested in listening to the answers you got anyway, and that this question took up so much space that it knocked other innocent people's, honest and meaningful questions off the first page, to pages where they will never be seen again. never mention good charlotte again.

[the freak]

3styler, thank you for your recommendations and I did appreciate your answer, however biased it was. I have every right to ask questions concerning Good Charlotte and I asked this question wanting to find out people's opinions of this one particular song, not so you can ruin the whole thread with your hate of an extremely talented and hardworking band, just because they're not to your taste. And anyway I'm still 12, I have the rest of my life to change my musical preferences, so get a life and stop being such a biased jerk.

[3Styler]

firstly, i dont see how i was so biased seeing as i actually read all the lyrics(openmindedly) and even drew quotes from it to reinforce my point. secondly if i supossedly ruined one thread which i didnt anyway, seeing as if people felt good charlotte were worth praising they still could comment, but your point was extremely hipocritical since who knocked loads of good threads of the main pages with the length of this thing. how do you think i started listing to non-mainstream music if i wasnt so open minded. you are also extremely arrogant if you think you are high enough to pass judgement on people you dont even know, you nothing about my life (which i assure you is fulfilled such that i dont need to listen to good charlotte) or my personality and never will because you are such a common,wanabe,pop-princess.  fyi, good charlotte are commonly known as the pop-princesses of rock so i guess you suit them.

[3Styler]

damn that was good, though it really is too easy to diss someone who is self-admittidly a loser, but it always needs to be reinforced by the cool population. not being arrogant just speaking the truth. laters freak.

[the freak]

Firstly, I can barely understand your posts. One or two correctly placed commas and correctly spelled words wouldn't hurt, you know. But aside from that, while you're right that I don't know anything about you, you're contradicting your own logic calling me a "common, wannabe pop princess of rock" (which really made me laugh), you don't know my gender, what kind of music I like besides Good Charlotte, or my personality. (Don't point out that I don't know you either, I already have.) And you're not hurting me, if that's what you think.     I'm sticking up for my favourite band because I'm a fan. You got a problem with that, fine. Throw what you want at me, keep filling up my thread with your dumb and childish insults and your screwed up "truth", call me a pop princess of rock, do whatever you can to get the last word, I don't care. Like I've said before, I love Good Charlotte and I'll keep loving it, regardless of what losers like you say about GC and me. Rubber glue back to you, jerk.

[3Styler]

ooh rubber glue, and im childish eh. not being able to understand a well constructed arguement only disses yourself, please dont make my explain my whole arguement in laymens terms,  but i called you a pop-princess because that applies to you no matter what your gender is and i was able to gather that from your music taste, GC are pop compared to greats like led zep. im on my way to oxford uni with straight A*s, so dont even try to act like you're clever because its quite blatent you couldnt handle the plethora of narcisstic/sado-masochistic muscularisms. you remind me of the colour-blind person who insists thats it's the rest of the world that is seeing things wrongly.  that about sums it up perfectly.

[the freak]

Ok, when exactly did this stray from me asking for opinions on this song to you assuming I don't like Led Zeppelin? I won't waste my time listing what music I like just for you. I don't know what "sado-masochistic muscularisms" are and I won't pretend I do, but why are you trying to belittle me just because I'm younger? And yeah, you are childish--arguing on the internet and frequently changing the subject. Look, here's the bottom line: I don't give a damn what you think of me, how smart, great and mature you think you are, or what you think of Good Charlotte. I don't know about you, but I've been pretty tired of this conversation for a while. Now go on and get the last word. I think you want it more than I do.

the reason i attacked this thread is because GC are an insult to rock and roll, nothing more nothing less. i didnt want to make this personal but im just trying to show you the mirror, but you're too stubborn to look into it, let alone accept the truth that GC are pathetic. since you're so looking forward to my last words, how this for 'famous' last words, GC=freaks,  the freak=loser., GC=losers.

Just wondered if the answer box actually worked on stuff this old. :-)
