Mayday Parade - The Torment Of Existence Weighed Against The Horror Of Nonbeing Lyrics






La la la la la la la la da da
La la la da da da
La la la la la la la la da da
La la la da da da

You could call me a fiend
Say I’m unbalanced as I’ll ever be
Wait around for the hook
All while you’re desperately clinging to me
You could say that I’m lost
Searching around just to find my own soul
Digging under my skin
Wearing your clothes just to know that I’m home

Now it’s over and over and right back to me
What’s the point if you’ve got one?
Now I’m closer and closer to all that I need
Wait around and you’ll see

Cause we all find love when we fall
And we say that it means the whole world
It means nothing at all

Me and all the lost boys
Spinning around in a circus we play
Hit me with it again
Once ain’t enough now I should be okay

Now it’s over and over and right back to me
What’s the point if you’ve got one?
Now I’m closer and closer to all that I need
Wait around and you’ll see

Cause we all find love when we fall
And we say that it means the whole world
It means nothing at all

I hope, I hope you're happy now
I hope, I hope you're happy now
Later you'll find out
Later you'll find out this is a castle and I am the king

There's a price that you pay for living this way
Every night on a stage forgetting yourself
For the words that you love
You don't say what you need,
You just take what you want

Now it's over and over and right back to me
What's the point if you've got one?
Now I'm closer and closer to all that I need
Wait around and you'll see

Cause we all find love when we fall
And we say that it means the whole world
It means nothing at all, nothing at all

And we say that it means the whole world
It means nothing at all

Mayday Parade The Torment Of Existence Weighed Against The Horror Of Nonbeing Comments
  1. E.... ....

    How unbelievably inappropriate.

  2. S.... R....

    Such power... awesome

  3. C.... ....

    Mayday Parade Fun fact #65

    This song was originally called "Circus"

    C.... ....

    +Christian Lopez whY JUST WHY

    C.... ....

    Do you have other facts??

    C.... ....

    I want more facts dude!

  4. D.... t....

    What i think would really help bands, and probably keep them going is if we took down all music on the internet that wouldn't be paid for. God i know that sounds dreadfully terrifying but honestly...we might have some bands around longer yanno?

    D.... t....

    You do realize the person who puts out the album posted this, right? They get money from the ads. Plus I find tons of bands I'd have otherwise ignored on YouTube

    D.... t....

    Well duh, there's record labels, but your telling me that all the "free use acts" have helped them profit? In a way i guess you can say it has, maybe possibly spread awareness or renown. But do you get my point? 

    D.... t....

    I understand where you're coming from

    D.... t....

    +Is This A Record Label?™ I wouldn't have found any of the bands I listen to if it weren't for youtube. And I think that they don't do it for the money as much as they just love to make music and want people to hear their music.

  5. F.... ....

    first thing i noticed back when i listened to this song is that it's in 6/8 time. a nice little change from the laziness of the 4/4 which is typical to most pop-punk/pop-rock bands. props to the guys.

  6. T.... N....

    this is good

  7. K.... K....

    I listened to this once, and it instantly became one of my favourite songs. Although, I think I need a break before I listen to it again...

  8. t.... c....

    really long name..

    t.... c....

    it's like PATD and FOB had a baby and he's finally old enough to make long names

    t.... c....

    @Ayy YES HAHAHAHA

    t.... c....

    +tiff chau I saw it and I thought "Was FOB here?"

    t.... c....

    +CheyenneDoryBob Without the bitter, the sweet isnt as sweet... If you wanted a song about you, all you have to do is ask... I'd hate to be you when the world knows what this song is about... The last something that meant everything...

    t.... c....

    The song is a reference to "Calvin and Hobbes." Calvin makes a snowman and describes it as "The Torment of Existence Weighed Against the Horror of Non-being."

  9. 1.... 4....

    Andy Elliot, you are the most awful scum on this planet... ._. I hate you.

  10. P.... B....

    WOW! so awesome and i love the title it sound so painful to heart

  11. A.... E....

    This really is terrible.

  12. S.... ....

    What a pathetic cliche. Calvin and Hobbes deserve better.  

  13. X.... ....

    12 ppl don't have ears and are mad that they can't hear this amazingness.

    X.... ....

    That's because you're biased, Gemini.

    X.... ....

    13 now.

    X.... ....

    @Andy Elliott I suppose I am biased bc I really enjoy their music. But I don't get the reference to Gemini if I'm being honest. R u referring to The Gemini that makes music, or r u saying that I'm a Gemini?

    X.... ....

    @Andy Elliott "Now Available At XxTargetxX"... So XxhardcorexX  

  14. J.... G....

    Mayday parade helped me find out who I am :)

    J.... G....

    I like these words :) For me too

  15. M.... P....

    Anyone else hear some wear sound at 1:13?....

    M.... P....

    Like a chuckle? It was weird...

  16. k.... l....

    The soul in his voice unf

  17. L.... K....

    Now it's over and over and right back to me, 
    Whats the point if you've got one?
    Now i'm closer and closer to all that I need. 
    Wait around and you'll see,
    Cause we all fall in LOVE when we fall,
    And we say that it means the whole world it means nothing at all,
    (oh I hope your happy now!)
    Love this song<3

  18. L.... E....

    If anyone know Alesana here they had an album full of long titles u never heard before

    L.... E....

    yes, like The best laid plans of mice a marionettes xD 

    L.... E....

    My favorite title would have to be. Alchemy Sounded good at the Time. Alesana is amazing. They are my number 2. Mayday Parade will always be number 1 :)

  19. C.... T....

    Fall Out Boy has My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up). But yeah sadly no Panic! songs with incredibly long titles on Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die though.

  20. B.... D....

    I'm falling even more in love with them

  21. J.... G....

    You mixed that up. The title says "weighed" and the video says "weighted".

  22. c.... ....

    The last 40 seconds.

  23. I.... ....

    Or Fall Out Boy.

  24. K.... ....

    The title in the video says weighTed but the title underneath it says weighed. typo in the video.

  25. M.... L....

    I love how original they are, like, I dont get where they come up with the titles to some of these songs

  26. a.... m....

    Even though the name is long, I still love it.

  27. L.... M....

    Or Panic!At the disco

  28. t.... ....

    I wish you could still continue to say that with Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy :/

  29. p.... r....

    and long title.

  30. K.... B....

    Every Song They Do Always Has So Many Different Parts And Melodies... XD

  31. R.... P....

    best on the album

  32. J.... C....

    Wow! :D I never noticed that. It's supposed to be "weighed', so the actual video has the error.

  33. D.... S....

    I had to sing my favorite song in chorus, so I picked this one. The teacher had to grab her bible when I said the title.

  34. S.... ....

    Nope, its a reference to Edgar Allan Poe, or Calvin and Hobbes. Not sure, I always get those confused :/

  35. F.... ....

    Favourite song from the new album <3

  36. K.... F....

    Or a Fall Out Boy song.

  37. M.... F....

    The fact that they have referenced calvin and hobbes and Edgar Allan Poe makes them my favorite band thus far.

  38. B.... ....

    The title of the song is a reference to Calvin and Hobbes! Am I the only one who sees that?!?

  39. l.... ....

    So is it Weighed or Weighted? Cause it's spelled differently in the title than in the video :s

  40. b.... l....

    one of the best songs on the album <3

  41. T.... S....

    Go listen to my music!

  42. d.... d....

    that one dislike though...... like really???

  43. R.... N....

    :D I like it

  44. J.... C....

    Bands change. xD If they hadn't changed, you'd be complaining that all of their songs sound the same. So enjoy the music, or just don't listen to it. You just can't expect a band with as many albums as MP so stay the same.

  45. H.... Y....

    Who the fuck disliked?

  46. J.... B....

    thumbs up for Mayday Parade \m/

  47. A.... J....

    Zero dislikes. The way it should be _3_

  48. J.... C....

    Has that Irish feel to it! :)

  49. M.... D....

    I think this is my favorite song from their new album

  50. s.... z....

    It's songs like this where I fall in love with Mayday Parade all over again. I'm in love with album so far. Amazing job guys.

  51. I.... Q....

    CALVIN AND HOBBES. I think I like this band a lot more now

  52. m.... ....

    I don't like this. ALIR is their best honestly. I don't like that they've changed their music style.

  53. L.... C....

    Literally my favourite song from the album :')

  54. C.... C....

    The title is from calvin and hobbes. And I think it is very appropriate for the entire song.

  55. T.... E....

    Awesome! Thanks for clearing that up for me man.

  56. E.... M....

    THIS ALBUM IS PERFECT <3

  57. I.... H....

    I'm not sorry for replaying this song... I absolutely love this song :)

  58. s.... ....

    best song from this album <333

  59. s.... ....

    or a Panic! at the Disco song

  60. A.... A....

    That is Jeremy's voice actually

  61. B.... F....

    That violin though

  62. G.... ....

    That title name is so awesome, it actually kinda wraps up what I think about most in my spare time

  63. R.... K....

    my favorite so far x

  64. m.... s....

    Definitely not

  65. T.... E....

    Do I hear Jason Lancaster's voice at 2:53 ?

  66. H.... B....

    Love the song, but does anyone notice that on the video it says "weighted" but in the title and description is says "weighed"? Just an observation.

  67. y.... ....

    You know it's a Mayday Parade song when you can't see the whole title on youtube

  68. R.... E....

    They're alike with Panic at the Disco :)

  69. P.... W....

    from the first note I knew I would love this song.

  70. A.... ....

    There's always that ridiculously large named mayday parade's song

  71. a.... w....

    Lost boys <3

  72. A.... D....
