[Intro]       [Verse 1] We took a vow in summertime Now we find ourselves in late December uh I believe that New Year’s Eve will be the perfect time For their great surrender but they don’t remember [Pre-Chorus 1] Anger wants a voice voices wanna sing Singers harmonize till they can’t hear anything I thought that I was free from all that questioning But every time a problem ends another one begins [Chorus 1] And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness Anybody with a worried mind would never forgive the sight Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified I don’t wanna live like this  but I don’t wanna die Ooh-ooh oooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh Ooooh ooh-ooh ooh-oooh Oooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh I don’t wanna live like this  but I don’t wanna die  aw no no [post-Chorus]    [Verse 2]   Within the halls of power lies A nervous heart that beats like a Young Pretender’s Beneath these velvet gloves I hide The shameful crooked ends of a moneylender ’cause I still remember that [Pre-Chorus 2] Anger wants a voice voices wanna sing Singers harmonize till they can’t hear anything Thought that I was free from all that questioning But every time a problem ends another one begins [Chorus 2] And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness Anybody with a worried mind would never forgive the sight Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified I don’t wanna live like this  but I don’t wanna die Ooh-ooh oooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh Ooooh ooh-ooh ooh-oooh yeah Oooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh I don’t wanna live like this  but I don’t wanna die [Post-Chorus]                                         [Chorus 3] And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness Anybody with a worried mind would never forgive the sight Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified I don’t wanna live like this  but I don’t wanna die [Outro] Ooh-ooh oooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh Ooooh ooh-ooh ooh-oooh yeah Oooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh Oooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le passage du temps et les promesses faites, contrastant la légèreté de l'été avec les préoccupations et les doutes de la fin de l'année. Elle aborde des thèmes comme la colère et la désillusion, où les voix s'élèvent pour exprimer une souffrance persistante qui se reforme sans cesse. Dans ce cadre, l'artiste décrit des lieux qui sont censés représenter la dignité et l'harmonie, mais qui cachent en réalité des vérités troublantes et un malaise profond. Les murs de ces espaces semblent témoigner des luttes internes et de l'angoisse face à un avenir incertain.
