Something More Than Ink


Just take a fucking good look at just what you did.
You set a raging fire in the heart of a kid.
Your words, and the message you sent,
are held in my heart as they burn inside my head.
It burns, burning inside my head.
Even if you chose a different path to tread.

I guess it was something inside,
it was something more to us

You took a different path than the one you once set.
But that's the cycle of life, so take your steps ahead.
That doesn't change one thing in my life.
I'll never cease to keep your words alive.

I still believe in what was said.
I'll hold on to the last thread.
I still believe in what was said.
You're absence doesn't bring my values' death

I guess it was something inside,
it was something more to us
A hero's fall will never change what I think.
'Cause at the core of my heart, this is something more than ink.

Something more than ink.
On a page, on a shirt, on the back of my hand.
Something written in stone, words we wrote in stone.

"Something More Than Ink" ~ Have Heart


I don't know the meaning behind this song, but it makes me think about Ray Cappo. Despite his choices in life, it is his words before he broke edge that still hold meaning to me. I don't care about his personal choices, I'm SxE for me, but I take his songs to heart, since they are more than the ink of my tattoo and the X on my hand. I listen to this song and I listen to Youth of Today and still believe in what was said, it is my path to tread.

This song is fucking amazing, there is nothing like positive edge and Have Heart are the best in the biz.

...you don't know what it's about??? ...I'll assume you meant that you don't know the specific person it's about, because the idea is pretty damn obvious:

He's singing about the person who introduced him to edge. The guy later broke edge, but although that's dissapointing it doesn't mean all he used to believe isn't still valid.

This is such a great song. Their lyrics are always so deep and awe-spiring.'

I actually am going to see them tomorrow with Death Before Dishonor, it's going to be an awesome night.
