Strung Out - Too Close To See Lyrics






A cup of two-day-old coffee
You're feeling like yourself again
You're still on your own; you've survived another night
In this dingy room with these same four walls

Looking in the mirror is getting easier these days
That old friend anger is losing its hold on you
The key to survival in this crazy world
And it's good to see you're still standing strong

Not too long ago, you were tearing at a world
That would never let you in
Strung out, outcast, turned away
You kept your face to the ground and fought the world with your silence

And so the seasons change and the people change
And the good times come and the good times go
You've found yourself in a winless race
Fighting for a cause you never believed

It's easy to regret, not so easy to forget
All the stupid things that used to hold you down
You gotta break that chain and move on
'Cause I know I've seen it in your eyes before

To surrender now, to throw it all away
Is to sacrifice but you can't repay
In a world that don't owe you shit
You gotta think for yourself and fight for every bit

Of that piece of mind that keeps you going on
Gets you out of bed and out that door
Step back, take a look around
And soon you'll find there's something more

That'll come your way with a little patience
It'll all work out for you in the end
This is my song to a friend
That never needed anyone until now

Sometimes you get too close to see
The different side of what life could be

And if you stare too long, it all becomes a blur
And it's easy to forget just who we are
Don't stare too hard; take a look around

  1. C.... M....

    I'm not a loser 🤑🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐😜😛😝😛😜😌😝😛😜😔🤑😕😡😳😡😳🤧😳🤫🤕😠😺👽🙀👽🧒👿

  2. J.... S....

    i am 47 and have none this band existed since i was 46 i missed out dammit

  3. �.... ....

    名曲!

  4. j.... ....

    This. Song.

  5. G.... C....

    I have loved this band since I was 16 , I am 41 now

  6. S.... A....

    Fucking Balls Audio

  7. m.... l....

    punk is for girls, try thrash.

    m.... l....

    This is sort of like thrash. It's hardcore punk bruh

  8. J.... C....

    I miss this sound, nothing compares to it nowadays

  9. D.... ....

    Very reminiscent of Less Than Jake, or maybe it's the other way around

  10. D.... S....

    How is that Jordan Burns always comes in second place behind Travis Barker for the best punk drummer?! I don't get it at all.

    D.... S....

    they both rip, its opinion but if u havent seen them play in person, thats how you'll know. I think Boz Rivera + Bomer(R.I.P) from RKL + Derrick Plourde(R.I. P.) are the best punk drummers but people dont always know them. always love Jordan, pretty sure Travis is gnarly. we dont hear it on the Blink182 records lol.

    D.... S....

    Travis filled drums for Strung Out last year on a tour. I can tell from vids of live shows in my area that he is very well capable of keeping it up with their songs.

  11. �.... ....

    名曲!!11月のUseless Idと対バン楽しみ!!

  12. �.... ....

    Strung Out最高🤘🏻

  13. d.... ....

    Been starting my day with this for a while

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

    Probablement l'album j'ai le plus ecouter a vie !!!🤪

  15. A.... Z....

    wtf is this emo band doing on a punk playlist. NEXT

    A.... Z....

    Um... These guys are one of the most hardcore punk groups around. If they're emo just because the lyrics are kind of sad then Lagwagon, No Use For A Name and Millencolin are emo bands too.

    A.... Z....

    People, don't even acknowledge this retards' existence

    A.... Z....

    You guys are forgetting Yellowcard's, "Midget Tossing" and "Where We Stand" as well. Those were pretty hardcore punk too. Check out, "Sorry Try Again" by Yellowcard.

    Those two albums aren't Ryan Key stuff, it's their old singer's stuff, which is epic.

    A.... Z....

    Why do you care? Next person.

  16. c.... ....

    my favourite song of Strung Out :D

  17. Z.... *....

    I still carry a piece of paper in my wallet with the lyrics to this song

    Z.... *....

    been living over half my life with that in mind

    Z.... *....

    I got those quotes around the pyramid from the one dollar bill. The all seeing eye. I thought it fit. All seeing eye... take a look around. Great band great tattoos

    Z.... *....

    oh yeah the almighty Mason. I agree! and thanks

    Z.... *....

    thanks brother

    Z.... *....

    nice......i used to do that too when growing up
    cheers dude!°

  18. D.... ....

    The most underrated punk band in the world !!!

    D.... ....

    Disturber93 I concur and hear hear.

    D.... ....

    Disturber93 hmmm I disagree.
