Uphill Battle Lyrics


do you feel sick when you read it?
do you think that I can feel it faster?
away with the rose I gave.
do you wear it with confidence?
are you aware that I can feel it faster?
away with the rose I gave.
are you aware that I'm falling faster?
are you aware that I'm falling faster?
just like she said (just like she said)
behind closed doors (just like she said)
we had said it was still good
we had said
I'll waste it all, when I'll be down with it
do you feel sick when you read it?
do you think that I can feel it faster?
away with the rose I gave.
do you wear it with confidence?
are you aware that I can feel it faster?

away with the rose I gave.
are you aware that I'm falling faster?
are you aware that I'm falling faster?
just like she said (just like she said)
behind closed doors (just like she said)
we had said it was still good
we had said
I'll waste it all, when I'll be down with
It's been this way for as long as I remember
You'll be safe and sound
It's been this way for as long as I remember
we had said it was still good
we had said
I'll waste it all, when I'll be down with
we don't care what we have done and seen
just close your eyes
for every day
for every day
please once
do what it said...
I was waiting and I was waiting
and I'll be fine with
I'll be fine again
we don't care what we have done and seen
we gave up everything, we gave up all we had

Saosin is an alternative rock band from Newport Beach, California, USA who originally formed during 2003 and partly consists of former members of the band Open Hand. They have released a full-length self-titled album (Sept. 26, 2006), three EPs (Translating the Name, a self-titled EP Saosin (also known as the "Warped Tour EP" / "Black EP", distributed on the The Vans Warped Tour), The Grey EP, and In Search Of Solid Ground (released on September 8, 2009).

Several individual completed songs have also been included on various compilations. These include I Can Tell There Was an Accident Here Earlier on a compilation album entitled Music on the Brain, Volume 1, Bury Your Head on the Atticus compilation Atticus: Dragging The Lake 3, Mookie's Last Christmas from the A Santa Cause: It's a Punk Rock Christmas compilation, and a remake of their previously recorded song I Wanna Hear Another Fast Song called Sleepers from the Take Action! Volume 5 compilation.

The band has managed to gain large amounts of respect in the underground scene, only recently enjoying somewhat mainstream status with appearances on television shows such as "Steve's Untitled Rock Show" and radio play of their first single Voices off the new self-titled album.

There has been a discrepancy about whether Saosin is pronounced "SAY-oh-sin" or "Say-OH-shin". It was accepted by most to be pronounced either way, but former lead vocalist and founding member of Saosin, Anthony Green, offers his explanation on the official Saosin website's "SAOSIN FAQ":

"What does their name mean, and how is it pronounced?"
Thanks to nailed shut, here is a quote from former singer Anthony:
"It’s pronounced SAY-OCEAN. And it’s a Chinese proverb from the 15th and 16th centuries. It means 'small heart'. Fathers used to marry off their youngest sons for money and used to tell them that they weren’t marrying for love, that their wife doesn’t matter. She could die at anytime so don’t get attached. They had to love with caution and raise their sons to be cold and unfeeling as well. I found it in the 8th grade and loved it, I used to name all my old bands that and write songs about it."
Also, "saosin" is actually spelt "xiao xin" in correct Chinese, and pronounced "shaow shin". It also means "be careful" in Chinese.
(added by ddgcreative: Just came back from a live show with Cove, the new lead singer... and they said, in front of a crowd of about 8,000 people, "we are say-o-sin", pronounced sin.)
(note by markobabic: The band's official stance on the issue is that both pronunciations can be considered correct, as it was really only Anthony who stuck by the pronunciation "Say-ocean". This was mentioned in review back in September, 2006 on absolutepunk.net (full interview can be found here).
