Consider Us
Candlebox Lyrics

[Chorus]
What do we see before we die, is it beautiful?
What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful?

Remember us we were the last ones on your mind
Escaper's from the erased and denied
The rest is up to you sinners we've aligned
Our time is on the run, and it's left to us to decide

[Chorus]

What do we see? What do we see?
What do we see? What do we see yeah?
What do we see before we die?

[Chorus]

How would you feel if we were lying?
How would you feel if we were lying?

The opening lines "Consider us the long lonely road, Defenders of the brittlest of bones, The dressers of the prettiest of clothes" suggest that the singer feels like an outcast or a misfit in society. They seem to be taking pride in being different and not fitting into the societal norms. The next line, "Our time is gonna come but we'll have nowhere to go" implies a sense of impending doom, like they know that their fate is sealed, and they will ultimately face the consequences of being different. However, they do not seem to be bothered by this because they feel they have lived their life on their own terms.

The chorus raises several questions - "What do we see before we die, is it beautiful? What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful? What do I sing to save your life, is it magical?" - These questions make one reflect on the meaning of life and death. The use of words like "beautiful," "wonderful," and "magical" suggest that the singer is looking for something extraordinary or exceptional in life. The following line, "Baby, how would you feel if we were lying?" implies that maybe the singer is not sure of their beliefs and fears that maybe they have been living in denial.

Overall, Consider Us is a song that delves deep into the human psyche and questions the meaning of life, death, and existence itself. The lyrics are open to interpretation, and the listener can find many meanings depending on their experiences and beliefs.

Consider us the long lonely road
We are like the long, never-ending journey that has no end in sight.

Defenders of the brittlest of bones
We protect the fragile and weak things in life that can easily shatter and break.

The dressers of the prettiest of clothes
We are the ones who dress up the beautiful and majestic things in life to make them even more stunning.

Our time is gonna come but we'll have nowhere to go
We know that our time will come to an end eventually, but we don't know where we will go after that.

What do we see before we die, is it beautiful?
When facing death, we wonder if what we will see will be wondrous and breathtaking.

What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful?
When we speak, we want our words to have an impact on others - even if it causes them to cry.

What do I sing to save your life, is it magical?
We wonder if the music and lyrics we create can have the power to save someone's life - like a magic spell.

Baby, how would you feel if we were lying?
We are questioning whether or not someone would still have feelings for us if they found out we were deceiving them.

Remember us we were the last ones on your mind
We want to be remembered even if we were the last thing on someone's mind.

Escaper's from the erased and denied
We are the ones who flee from things that are often forgotten or denied, like the truths that are too difficult to face.

The rest is up to you sinners we've aligned
We have aligned ourselves with those who have made mistakes or transgressions, but we leave it up to them to decide their own fate.

Our time is on the run, and it's left to us to decide
Time is fleeting and we ultimately have the power to decide how we want to spend it.

How would you feel if we were lying?
We are once again questioning how someone would feel if they discovered that we were not truthful with them.
