THIS PAGE HAS SOME OF MY FAVORITE LYRICS FROM THE NEW MEST CD
“These songs that are a bit different than what we have recorded in the past,” says Tony. “This album has fewer songs about relationships—because I wasn’t going through any relationship problems at the time and I don’t think Jeremiah was either. Most of the songs reflect the last two years of our lives. We were away from home on tour for a long time, and it’s weird how, when you return home, you don’t recognize people, and some people are married or gone or pregnant or fat or…whatever. You come home and there’s so much different shit going on. Many of the songs are about remembering back a few years when we were 15, 16-years-old and wanting to be in a band and wanting to get away from home. But, now that we have done all that, some of the songs are about growing up and slowly becoming a, uh, man—is that what you call it?—a young adult.”


JADED - one of my favorite songs
Jaded (These Years) Featuring Benji Madden

There's a time and place for everything
There's a reason why certain people meet
There's a destination for everyone
What's the explanation when we're done

All the summer nights spent wondering
So many questions asked but no one's answering
Would it be ok if I left today
Took my chances on what you said was wrong

Chorus:
I'm jaded stupid and reckless
Not sorry and I'll never regret these years spent
So faded and reckless-not sorry
And I'll never regret these years
I'll never regret these years

Now here I sit so far away
Remembering all our memories
And it's times like these that I miss you most
Remembering when we were so close

Chorus

I'll never forget the places we've been you and I
Our lives are slipping away
Don't want to let time pass us by...by
Chorus
  ROOFTOPS
Rooftops

Staring at the broke street light
Some of those lonely nights
I didn't know if we would make it through
Staying up till five a.m.
Watching the sun come up again
I'd do it all again if I could

Prechorus:
So if I call will you be there
I miss the nights we used to share

Chorus:
Up on the rooftop listening to punk rock
Nobody believed us this could be our one shot
That was all we had
The nights that we wasted got us through the days that
seemed never ending, always in a haze
But we just didn't care
No we just didn't care

The only place that we could go
Staring at a world we didn't know
Wondering if this was all we had
40 oz. intoxicated dreams, all our faded memories
That's what made us who we are today

Prechorus

Chorus

All the nights left alone is what made us
All these nights left along is what made us
It's what made us

Choru

WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS
WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS
Time goes by, I just try to hold my head up high
People try to deny, classify or just hide
And feelings what's inside broken hearts and hard times
Don't let life break you this time

Chorus:
I'm sitting here crying here alone and dying there
Waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
No answers for what was asked
You're all alone
'Cause you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy

Don't give up, just hold on
Is the pain just too strong to hold on
Sometimes we're wrong when we think we're right
Tonight will be the night you'll break free from this fight
Don't let life break you down this time.

Chorus

GO TO MESTMANIA!

BURNING BRIDGES - another one of my favs!

It was a late Thursday night,
When I decided to write this song,
Just me by well, my dirty floor,
All the earth is gone,
Everyone's asleep,
But the TV is still on,
Debating the past 3 years,
What I did right and wrong,

So tell me is this world we live in alright?
Why does every conversation end in a fight?
Why does every fight keep us apart tonight?
Cause I'm trying to see the sun rise today.

I've been burning bridges,
always burning bridges.

Just took a life,
But do you know,
At twenty-two,
I've learned that i need to know,
I've made mistakes,
I've burned a bridge,
Apologize? What?
There's only one life to live,
When everybody's gone,
And the radio's still on,
That's when I realize,
Until I need to carry on,

So tell me is this world we live in alright?
Why does every conversation end in a fight?
Why does every fight keep us apart tonight?
Cause I'm trying to see the sun rise today.

I've been burning bridges,
always burning bridges.

I've been burning bridges,
I'm looking at the loss this time,
Always burning bridges,
These last three years.

Tell me is this world we live in alright?
Why does every conversation end in a fight?
Try to explain this life in black and white,
Guess I'm gonna see the sun rise today

I've been burning bridges,
always burning bridges.

I've been burning bridges,
I'm looking at the loss this time,
Always burning bridges,
These past three years.

I've been burning bridges,
I'm looking at the loss this time,
Always burning bridges,
These past three years.

LONG DAYS LONG NIGHTS (from Destination Unknown)
If I could be anything at all
I'd be an angel Spread my wings and fly away
But I'm stuck here on the ground
So I'll see you around
you'll hear me piss and moan and complain

If I could be anything at all I'd be an angel
Spread my wings and fly away
But I'm stuck here on the ground
So I'll see you around
you'll here me piss and moan and complain

I coulda guessed the day would come
that you would consider me scum
The day is here all the signs were there
and I'd always pray that you would stay,
but instead you walked away
the feelings gone the pain dwells on

long days long nights, the feelings just not right
i pick up a pen & pad and i start to write
thinkin about our last fight
It was a cold and rainy night

I coulda guessed the day would come
that you would consider me scum
The day is here the signs were there
and I'd always pray that you would stay,
but instead you walked away
the feelings gone the pain dwells on
and on and on the pain dwells on and on (X2)


YESTERDAY (from their cd Destination Unknown)
I said sit back relax, it's not the end
We're gonna postpone it, put it off again
Our separate paths will lead us different ways
But the care remains
It will always stay

CHORUS:
Yesterday's not all that bad
Sorry I could not make this last
Yesterday's not all we have
Sorry I could not make this last

One thing I need from you, that's honesty
Please never lie to me
Is what she said to me

One thing for sure
Is that I will be true in everything I do
That's what I learned from you

CHORUS

Being on the road is tough on everyone
Because you're here then gone
It takes so long (4X)

CHORUS




WOW
