Say Anything - Slowly, Through A Vector Lyrics






Passing slowly through a vector damp with fog,
The bog that grows through former business sector
With my laugh, my lone companion.
Only I can save the lives that blink within this canyon.

(Whoa)
We're passing slow, we're passing slow
(Whoa)
Slow! Slow!

Drink the colors of the nighttime
If you were wrong, then I was right and this will be the right time.
(Oh!) I'll display my disaffection
(You grind me up and you spit me out!)
Out across the city, loud and proud in your direction.

Whoa
We're passing slow, we're passing slow
Whoa
Slow! Slow!

Whoa
We're passing slow, we're passing slow
Whoa
Slow! Slow!

When I get to your apartment,
I climb the rail upside the building.
A band of them were in your apartment.
They tied you up, unwound, unwilling.
I watch them cut, watch them touch.
I watch them do what they came to do,
And then in I come to lick it up,
And clean up what is left of you.

Ha, ha, ha.
Show me what you've got...

Say Anything Slowly, Through A Vector Comments
  1. D.... K....

    3:25 is a perfect example of why Say Anything will always be my favourite bands. It starts out feeling phantom of the opera-y, then it starts sounding like rock, then you got this freakin circus music and him saying "hahaha, show me what you got" over and over again, then it goes back into the rock n roll. Love it.
    Its like listening to multiple songs from different genres in one song with them. I've always heard them get categorized as "melodic rock" because they can't figure out wtf to categorize them as. <3

  2. T.... U....

    All these years later hes still waiting to be shown what you've got

  3. R.... M....

    1:10 to 1:16 is one of my favorite moments on that album

    R.... M....

    Loud & proud in your direction!

  4. J.... L....

  9. B.... B....

    Best break up song ever. Just laugh in her face while publicly putting her dirty laundry on display for all to see.

    B.... B....

    Thats not what the song is about.

    B.... B....

    Care to share what the song i̲s̲ about?

    B.... B....

    xxhardforcorexx max bemis states this song is about "watching someone you love emotionally hurt themselves as you drift through life not being able to help them"

    B.... B....

    That's interesting, thanks for the fast reply.

    B.... B....

    Its all good, i love this song more than life itself haha

  10. z.... ....

  11. S.... A....

    max is a fucking music god!

  12. J.... C....

    This is where my life is right now

  13. Y.... C....

    yellow cat/red cat.

  14. C.... D....

    what do you think he's trying to say with that metaphor in regards to the song as a whole?

  15. C.... D....

    does anyone listen to the lyrics of the bridge? theyre really fucked up and saddening

    C.... D....

    It's a metaphor fool.

  16. p.... ....

    DRINK THE COLOURS OF THE NIGHTTIME!

  17. M.... K....

    Bunch of ''funny'' guys.

  18. O.... S....

    Thanks, that's probably it

  19. C.... ....

    probably because violent rape is used as a metaphor

  20. O.... S....

    This song makes me incredibly sad for some reason, haha

  21. l.... h....

    we are moveing at a slow rate through a point in spacetime to another.

  22. o.... ....

    thanks for the lol bro and dont worry life only gets shittier : )

  23. x.... ....

    pinocchio

  24. d.... ....

    i think every guy is turning gay. well shit, we clicked on a video with a thumbnail showing a tree's ding dong...

    d.... ....

    It's Pinokieoh's nose

  25. B.... ....

    its very unfortunate that they cant

  26. H.... ....

    This song fully expresses the feelings a man has when he is forced to watch the "fuckedness" of society screw over a gem of a woman

    H.... ....

    Women screw themselves over

  27. I.... A....

    HAHA, show me what you got!

  28. e.... ....

    @scarclawwindclan Ctrl+F?

  29. n.... ....

    I would go gay for Max Bemis. Only him, no one else.

  30. D.... G....

    @volcomboi6 I've noticed when music is good,

    music is good.

  31. k.... ....

    1 person can't show what they've got

  32. P.... J....

    oh and i'm probably going to get a lot of shit for this because nobody's going to understand, but i don't think max bemis' lyrics are spectacular. but i think his composition is. his songs have REALLY interesting structure.

  33. P.... J....

    say anything isn't an obscure band, sorry.

  34. T.... ....

    @Creed1921 That person probably passed way too fast through a vector

  35. N.... ....

    @volcomboi6 Hey Hipster! ADMIT IT!

  36. C.... T....

    @MrDabangles23 yeah it makes sense. that was kind of what i thought too.

  37. C.... T....

    ive noticed something.
    the less mainstream a band is, the less dislikes it has. maybe it is because there arent many views for this video, or something. but i think its because non mainstream music is the only good music, and only good people listen to good music.

  38. s.... ....

    No thanks to Max Bemis, or Say Anything for creating so many awesome songs? WTF man... wtf...

  39. d.... ....

    This song reminds me of The Phantom of the Opera, especially the part about drinking the colors of the night time.

  40. d.... ....

    This song reminds me of phantom of the opera, at least the beginning up to when he says "drink the colors of the night time"

  41. T.... A....

    @coooliox27 i think that the 'girlfriend' is his album, and the raping was labels/producers/industry wanting to take it in a direction that he absolutely hated..

  42. n.... ....

    loud and proud in your fucking direction...

  43. c.... ....

    I've been thinking about the lyrics, and I'm pretty sure it's about a guy who goes to break up with/beat up/do something even worse to his girlfriend (He's angry at her, that's all I can say for sure). But when He climbs up to her apartment, he witnesses her getting raped, and does nothing.

    That's what I got. His lyrics are a little tricky to crack.

    c.... ....

    Or hes got a dissociative personality and he did it

  44. J.... S....

    him and Anthony Green of Circa Survive some of the best song writers in my opinion

  45. V.... I....

    @KrissyLuvsYu well technically he does suffer from schizophrenia, which is a psychotic disease...

  46. J.... F....

    I just don't understand how anybody could mistake this song for anything but genius song writing.

  47. l.... ....

    Why does he wanna see what I got so bad? Its not even funny. >:(

  48. v.... ....

    I really dont like my girlfriend right now, but when I listen to this song it makes it all better

  49. J.... ....

    @HolaMat I agree with you on ...Is A Real Boy defining them, but I believe there albums after are equally as good. I love Defense of a Genre because the songs sound just as soul searching and awesome as the other tunes I have come to love by Say Anything. Plea which is on Defense of a Genre..its ending is nothing but epic.
    :D

  50. C.... H....

    Drink the colours of the nightime ;)
    Yeah, you know what it means.

  51. J.... ....

    @Shultzy999 if your penis looks like that go to the doctor

  52. S.... ....

    lol... i never thought that was a nose... think it's another part of a boys anatomy

  53. c.... ....

    @Keokeokitty Swear to god I always thought it was "We're passing slow!" Like .... ya know.... through a Vector. lol

  54. s.... ....

    this is true

  55. H.... ....

    haha, i realized i use the wrong "their"

    shit, my bad guys, grammar is my worse subject

    :P

  56. H.... ....

    This album is Say Anything to me, this album defines them to me, I think it's they're greatest one

    JV, Menorah/Majora, and Baseball have a nice sound to them too, I always loved the raw sound of audio and those albums had em great, they had some pretty badass songs too, "Dreaming of Manhattan" "Walk through hell" "I am a Transylvanian" are some of my favorites on those albums

    In defense of the Genre is good, and they're self titled is ok, but nothing like the previous albums

  57. N.... W....

    he has extreme social anxiety he cant even smile in pictures with fans! its not his fault!!

  58. J.... R....

    HA HA HA, SHOW ME WHAT YAH GOT!
    My favorite part of the album, definitely, with the intro of Woe coming in second.

  59. J.... J....

    im going through all these songs on youtube from this album. there are a bunch of comments saying, "omg best song ever." i really dont think its the best song ever, but perhaps its one of the best albums ever

  60. D.... V....

    yep best song.

  61. C.... L....

    thank you
    i love you

  62. U.... ....

    This song is the bomb
