Mistake Of Life
8:05
Since we’re living in the 2020s, we need to add a disclaimer for this song. We definitely don’t want anyone reading these lyrics and doing anything drastic. This song reflects the most painful, hopeless state that a person can find themselves in. Where everything just seems without meaning and completely pointless.
If you’re ever feeling this way, seek help! Don’t give in to those terrible feelings. There is light at the end of the tunnel! You matter!
It’s one of the first 3 songs recorded back in the middle 2000s on the analog 4-Track machine. For years, there was the feeling that the transition after the 4th verse just wasn’t right. So we rerecorded the entire song on the digital recorder. A note-for-note recreation isn’t easy on an 8 minute song! We changed the arrangement and made it right. But…the bass seemed a little too high in the mix (and too trebly?)…
WE HAVE RERECORDED THE BASS AND ADDED SOME REVERB TO THE VOCALS. WE THINK IT’S A BIG IMPROVEMENT!
This is definitely our most straight-up metal song.
‘Mistake Of Life’ is played in Standard Tuning on the guitar and Drop D Tuning on the Bass.
Mistake Of Life Lyrics
Another night past 3 A.M. I’m still awake
Like 1000 other nights, I pray my life He’ll take
A mistake of life, and that’s no lie
Just hope tonight’ll be the one I die
The future looks bleak, no hope do I see
Just more of the same tortured soul that’s me
Don’t care about nothing, just wanna’ sleep all day
Hoping against reason that the pain’ll go away
Tomorrow I’ll wake up, it’ll all still be here
Maybe that’s what most causes my fear
I know I can’t fix it, my fate I must keep
For past mistakes, this is what I reap
They tell me the future’s mine to make
They don’t know what they’re saying, their lives are all fake
Like some stroke of luck’s gonna’ fall from the sky
Make me love life, not wishin’ I’d die
Guitar Solo
Can’t find a group, a spot where I fit
My fate’s already sealed, no way to reverse it
I’m always gonna’ feel strange
No chance in hell that this is gonna’ change
It would have been better if I was never born
Never a seed planted, never from the womb to be torn
