The Spill Canvas - Self Conclusion (Lyrics)

The Spill Canvas - Self Conclusion
This song is really good, the lyrics are amazing :)
Lyrics:
Fade in, start the scene
Enter beautiful girl
But things are not what they seem
As we stand the edge of the world
Excuse me sir,
But I have plans to die tonight
Oh, and you are directly in my way
And I bet you're gonna say it's not right
My reply
Excuse me miss,
But do you have the slightest clue
Oh exactly what you just said to me
And exactly who you're talking to?
She said "I don't care, you don't even know me"
I said " I know but I'd like to change that soon hopefully"
Yeah, We all flirt with the tiniest notion
Of self conlusion in one simplified motion
You see the trick is that you're never supposed to act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery gets
You make it sound so easy to be alive
But tell me how am I supposed to seize this day
When everything inside of me has died
My reply
Trust me girl
I know your legs are pleading to jump
But I offer you this easy choice, instead of dying living with me
She said "Are you crazy, you don't even know me"
I said "I know, I'd like to change that soon hopefully"
Yeah, We all flirt with the tiniest notion
Of self conclusion in one simplified notion
You see the trick is that you're never supposed to act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery gets
I would be lying if I said that things would never get rough
And all this cliche motivation, it could never be enough
I could stand here all night trying to convince you
But what good would that do?
My offer stands, and you must choose
"Alright, you win, but I only give you one night,
To prove yourself to be better than my attempt at flight
And I swear if you hurt me
I will leap
I will toss myself from these very cliffs
And you'll never see it coming"
"Settle precious, I know what you're going through,
Cause ten mintues before you got here I was gonna jump too"
Yeah we all flirt with the tiniest notion
Of self conclusion in one simplified motion
You see the trick is that you're never supposed to act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery get

It’s 2018, nearly ten years later and I still find myself coming back listening to this song.

[@alyssacuda]

You don't have to be sterotyped as 'emo' to enjoy this beautiful song. It's saying more than two people struggling with suicide. It's talking about hard times. Everyone has hard times, and most people think at least once or twice about just giving up. That doesn't mean you are depressed. That's why it says, "we ALL flirt with the tiniest notion..." I guess what I am saying, this song is relatable for all of us.

[@Ikiuyo]

This will always be my favorite song of all time

[@reecovery9723]

Never knew them until i ended up making their food at huhot sioux falls,sd where they are from.....the girl I was dating at the time happened to fukkn kno,love,and follow them told me who they were .... Then after work.she shows me this ..... I loved it since then

[@ccloudleaf]

in 2008(?) i was driving a girl in my car and played this song. she bawled her eyes out the first time listening to it- while I was attracted to TSP for their hook heavy rock and good drumming instrumental. I didn't really have any negative thoughts in my life when I was into this album. Yet here I sit in 2017 and as a 28 yr old man I am having my first suicidal thoughts. Someone told me the trick is to just hang on. This was the first song that came to mind and listening to it + reading the comments had me in twice the tears and snot the girl in my car ever was in. If any human being that is still breathing is reading this and is feeling the same way- join me in my fight to stay alive and find the treasure we all know is out there for us.

[@Thenekkedgamer]

Thank you it's hard being in your late 20's (I'm 29) and feeling this way people expect you be be 100% fine since you're "grown up" I'll join in on the fight with you

[@downslash010]

Thank you for sharing this. I'll fight to

[@davidc1373]

I'm fighting for now. My dad knows the gift he gets every year is me still breathing. It sounds corny but I put more effort into just living than anyone has ever put into a present.

[@scottperkins7826]

Ok...straight up usually I read comments like this and say keep your bull Shit off of KZbin....but I’m an ass hole for that simply because of this comment....ya dude...the trick is to never act on it....you said it brotha❤️

[@LetItBe007]

I hope you made it out of the dark ! 🙏🏻

[@MissGIRluver]

Every song by this band ACTUALLY has a story along with it unlike most of the popular songs on the radio and shit.. This is ridiculous how under appreciated their music is..

[@ItsJustaDustStorm]

I can't even begin to explain what this song means to me. Thank you, Nick, for writing this. You will never know me...but you saved my life many years ago.

[@MrGre8ness]

call me what u want but looking back this song helped me ...when i was young. those thoughts/voice's will always be there but all that is bullshit...find a way to always remember you are better than that...if you think no one loves/wants you ... i do. LIVE for those who are not...( it gets better , trust )

[@MrGre8ness]

( IF YOU ARE SUICIDAL) alright, give me one night... ill be your friend with open arms.. i was there... i understand.

[@FuhrerHeisen]

Remember listening to this in 6th grade and not understanding what it was about. I listened to it over and over again until it finally clicked and I cried for hours because it was so beautiful the message being delivered.

[@keaganstoyles383]

I've never heard a more beautiful song with such meaningful lyrics. I think many teenagers can relate to this song, the pressures society puts on us these days can become unbearable. From experience, a battler of depression, its amazing how much a song can make someone feel understood.

[@myoneeyedgoose194]

I always find myself coming back to this song.. So much emotion in just a simple thing.. I have depression. I am indeed self-diagnosing it. But I know I have it. There's times when I literally can't feel any emotions. Songs like these bring them out for a short time.

[@cathelwig4410]

I contemplate suicide everyday. Its a struggle to fight every second of everyday to keep the cloud of negativity away from my sun. I feel so tired fighting me all the time. 2019, im 31, and still find this song comforting in some way.

I always wonder if these guys realize how many lives they've saved with their music.

[@jazzhernandez9986]

2023. The song popped in my head and had to come listen. The part "settle precious I know what you're going thru ten minutes before you got here I was gonna jump too" it literally popped in my head randomly. But I know my subconscious needed me to listen to it. I'm crying now I needed to hear this.

It’s 2019 I still listen to this song. I found this song two years ago during my dark moment when I thought about killing myself. When I heard this song it taught me the strength to hold on. Now whenever I feel down I listen to this song shame it isn’t on Spotify...

It's 2020, years later in life. .but this is the song that brings me back. . suicide can take over sometime but the reason I'm here is cause I wish Chester Bennington could have been saved by any kind of meaning/or word to stay.

[@Kyliewoppas]

This song made my cry. It is so touching. Minutes before you got here I was gonna jump too. That is the line of lines. Everyone has been there at one moment of there life, and if they haven't, they're long past due. I wanna hug the singer!

This song is Emo for Emotional . . . Emotional is good music to me . Any song that the artist pours his emotions into adds to make a good song

God this song brings back memories...She showed it to me when we met. I feel grateful everyday she did.

[@SuperMikeJess]

Sam, I agree with your love of their story telling, it's hard to compare. I wouldn't, however, say they are under appreciated. There's a large population of people from every walks of life who appreciate their music. Those people, like us, are the fortunate ones. I say those who appreciate, continue to love and spread your experience to others. Music is beautiful and theres is poetry. Where every song may not directly correlate to my own life, their words and messages, however unintentional, do

[@autumnjewel3779]

I'm so glade my pastor showed us this song on Wednesday

[@GemGem96]

This song is pretty special to me. These lyrics are relatable to me. Because when I first met my boyfriend, I was planning on suicide. We both got talking and soon I didn't want to do it anymore, he told me that he was also planning on suicide that night. I saved him and he saved me. We connected and fell in love and thought no more about suicide. We're still together and deeply in love after 1 year, and we plan to be together forever. I've found my soulmate. I love you Keegy baby.

Are y’all still together ?! I hope so !

23 people have clearly not understood the deep meaning of these lyrics & how they can easily touch your heart once you do. Hopefully if someday they do feel it, it wont be because of an unfortunate event...

[@amittizzle]

@BoredomKills: I think that is the point of the song... She may have been "fat," "ugly," or "average-looking" by society's standards, but because she was vulnerable and ready to act on very real feelings, she was beautiful to him.
