It's never enough to say I'm sorry It's never enough to say I care But I'm caught between what you wanted from me And knowing that if I give that to ya I might just disappear
 * Theory Of A Deadman - Not Meant To Be **:

Nobody wins when everyone's losing media type="youtube" key="N_knXdRfXd4" height="326" width="434" align="right" It's like one step forward and two steps back No matter what I do you're always mad And I, I can't change your mind It's like trying to turn around on a one way street I can't give you what you want And it's killing me And I, I'm starting to see Maybe we're not meant to be

It's never enough to say I love you No, it's never enough to say I try It's hard to believe That's there’s no way out for you and me And it seems to be the story of our lives

Nobody wins when everyone's losing

It's like one step forward and two steps back No matter what I do you're always mad And I, I can't change your mind It's like trying to turn around on a one way street I can't give you what you want And it's killing me And I, I'm starting to see Maybe we're not meant to be

There's still time to turn this around You could be building this up instead of tearing it down But I keep thinking Maybe it's too late

It's like one step forward and two steps back No matter what I do you're always mad And I, I can't change your mind I know it's like trying to turn away one way street I can't give you what you want And it's killing me And I, I'm starting to see Maybe we're not meant to be

It's like one step forward and two steps back No matter what I do you're always mad And I, baby I'm sorry to see Maybe we're not meant to be.


 * Reflection**

I first heard this song due to a fixation with transformers after the second movie was released; I bought the soundtrack which included this song

The story being told in the lyrics is a guy is telling his girlfriend that he thinks she doesnt realise how much he respects her and would do for her. A different reading could be that he is getting a bit annoyed at her //"//// It's never enough to say I love you No, it's never enough to say I try It's hard to believe That's there’s no way out for you and me And it seems to be the story of our lives" //

This song could be used for a break up when you cant be bothered speaking to the person.


 * All The World's A Stage**

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.


 * Reflection**

My understanding of this poem is that the idea it is putting across is that no matter what stage of life a person is at; what attitudes and beliefs they adopt, they are still the same person. The use of the word 'snas' (or same) helps to display this idea. it gives the impression that even though the person may look and behave differently, they are still the same; at different stages of life people may **act** differently or change their appearance (costume) using the world as their stage. It is still the same person underneath the acting and costume.
