Hear you me jimmy eat world meaning

Welcome to the first Metal Monday of May. Before I start, allow me to wish you all a very happy May the Fourth. For those that do not know what it means (insert shakes head, eyes closed, face palms… education… eye roll), it is a Star Wars thing…

Back to Metal Monday, for May I am going to try and theme it to songs or band names with the word may in it, in today’s song it features in the chorus part. Jimmy Eat World’s song is also my dedication to all the people we have lost during this world wide pandemic. This song has a deeper meaning to me personally as it was one of the bands my dad and I could listen together and not poke fun at one another for the queer tastes in music we had. This song also meant more to me at the time he passed away. May Angels Lead You In is an acoustic song with clear vocals and can be enjoyed by anyone in my opinion. I do not know why this band did not garner more fans than it did as they were quite diverse in my opinion.

Lyrics:

There’s no one in townI know
You gave us some place to go
I never said thank you for that
I thought I might get one more chance
What would you think of me now
So lucky, so strong

This song is so incredibly powerful and moving, as it expresses many different emotions and stages of grief at the same time. The lines “I thought I might get one more chance...I never said thank you for that” is a reflection of guilt and sentiment, as the singer wishes he had been more outwardly grateful for the person he lost. Furthermore, the lines “a song for a heart so big” and “so lucky, so strong, so proud” are elements of remembrance, as the singer is recalling all of the positive traits of the deceased. The song also incorporates acceptance, as the repetition of “may angels lead you in” demonstrates that the singer understands that the loss occurred, now hoping that his loved o

there's no one in town i know
you gave us someplace to go
i never said thank you for that
thought i might get one more chance
what would you think of me now?
so lucky
so strong
so proud
never said thank you for that
now i'll never have a chance
may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
what would you think of me now?
so lucky
so strong
so proud
never said thank you for that
now i'll never have a chance
may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
if you were with me tonight
i'd sing to you just one more time
a song for a heart so big god wouldn't let it live
may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in

28. Hear You Me - (Jimmy Eat World)

"May angels lead you in."

"Hear You Me" isn't exactly a phrase we tend to use all that often in the modern vernacular. After all, it's kinda' Yoda-esque to rearrange words in that particular fashion. "Hear YOU Me?" Wouldn't that be ten times easier to understand if it just said "listen to me" (where the sentence remains imperative and the word "you" is implied thanks to the more active verb)?

Like I said -- kind of unwieldy for everyday conversation.


"What I say what? Now hear you me, Mr. Smarty Pants..."

Funny thing is --

As languages evolve over generations and centuries, certain words, phrases, spellings, and semantic conventions typically end up being standardized or simplified in order to help the spoken and written word keep up with the times. "Colours" turn into "colors." "Inflammable" becomes "flammable." And longer, more complicated idioms typically end up finding themselves chopped, cropped, and condensed in arrange to make themselves easier to remember to the common ear.

For example:


"All that gliSters is not gold."
- Prince of Morocco The Merchant of Venice, II.vii

"Glister?" Who in the blue hell even knows what a
