Not many musicians influenced by punk, hardcore and metal
are also well versed in poetry, literature and comparative
religion. Then again, not many musicians are in Senses Fail.
While dozens of their peers continue to create
soul-rendering music about the girls who shattered their
hearts and ruined their lives, the Bergen County, New
Jersey five piece takes a more intellectual approach to
sonic catharsis. Even the name Senses Fail comes from
frontman Buddy Nilelsen's interest in spirituality.
"In Hinduism, they believe that being alive is hell, and
the only way to each Nirvana is to ultimately have no
attachments to anything," he explains. "So, people go out
and live in the middle of the woods and they don't eat and
don't drink. They just meditate because they'v More...

------ About the song Choke On This performed by Senses Fail
Actually, i think the meaning of the song is that at first, he really was in love and tried to make the relationship work. But he realized that to her, it didn't mean anything and that she had cheated on him. He then stayed with her, and used her like she had used him.

"Who cares | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/19/09
Nobody cares what any of you think. Quit writing your thoughts about a song you didn't write. Everyone keeps saying "I think" this and that, well nobody cares what you think. If the band wrote what it meant than that would be worth reading because it would be what the song was actually means. It's a good song that's it and until you ask the band what it's about than quit posting what you think it's about because there only your thoughts and nobody wants to read about what you(whoever the fuck you are)think the songs about."
If the songs didn't have a point they wouldn't have been written. Some people have trouble figuring out the point of a song, the meaning behind it, because some songs are harder to figure out than others. Take "The Good Left Undone" by Rise Against - if you look close enough, it could mean a number of things. Political song or love song? Who knows? Nobody can know for sure. But what we CAN know for sure, is that song DOES have a meaning, people just interpret it differently.
So, moronic anonymous commenter, I am posting what I think the song is about to help anyone who may be having difficulty understanding it, just as I sometimes search this site for songs I don't get to see if people's explanations can help me understand. The internet's a free place, buddy.
Don't like it?
Then kindly fuck off.

------ About the song Can't Be Saved performed by Senses Fail
This is an amazingg song, in my opinion, but I really think all you guys need to lay off the whole religious background (if there is any) to the song.
I mean, true, this song could be interpreted as a religious song (to a certain extent), but that's up to you to decipher. This is a place to review right? A place to review the SONG, not the [many] backgrounds the song could have.
But I guess that's not up for me to decide right? But anyways, this song is amazing, the lyrics, the guitar, everything. But true, the video for it isss a little hard to grasp when trying to connect it into the song (unless you look at the homosexuality part at the end and then relate that back to the religious sense in the lyrics).
But still: great song, great band. Keep it up Senses Fail :)

what a faggot | Reviewer: chris | 2/13/09
ok, Mike, i'll start by saying how much of a faggot you are.
Stop fucking preaching for everyone to live by the Bible. What about Muslims, Budhists, or anyone who follows any other religion? They don't have to give a shit about the Bible.
I am 'Christian' enough. I believe in God for my own personal reasons, but I do not believe the Bible, or the God in the Bible. God plainly, CANNOT be the God the Bible portrays. If He was, we would not have the problems we have no. Are all the people who die in acts of terrorism sinners? What about people murdered by physcopaths? People killed in the Indonesian tsunami? They were ALL sinner were they?
And if you say they were sinners, I know enough of the Bible to know that it states God will forgive you no matter what you have done if you want to forgivness. So no matter how you live your life, you can be saved, you can be forgiven.
And if your Almighty-Bible-God made everything, he obviously made the homosexual trait in our species aswell. And since the Bible states he is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, he MUST have known at his moment of creation (btw, who/what made god? another debate for another time:P) what He would do and how what we did would turn out. So he MUST'VE known that there would be homosexuals in the human race, and since He didn't change that, he obviously wanted that or at the very least didn't mind it.
So when it is this easy for a Christian who has never gone to church and never read the complete Bible to prove that you are wrong by your own contradictions, you might be better off to keep your mouth shut.

------ About the song The Irony Of Dying On Your Birthday performed by Senses Fail
This song fucking kicks ass! It really helps me out when im down, helps me get some rage out of my system. Today for example! i broke up with my girlfriend last night, put some dents in my door, broke my hand (haha) and now im good! the screaming is awesome! one of the best by senses fail.
Hmm | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The Priest And The Matador performed by Senses Fail
well first of all he didn't tell the priest to get the **** away he just told the man. The song is very powerful, in my opinion i think the song is symbolic of him falling out of heaven or loosing his religeon and faith, its got double meaning, He says he is the arrow shot straight to hell, he fell from the sky, symbolic of lossing his faith and belief in god, and he tells the priest, he is to late and to save his speech. he is shot to hell.
more religious imagery? | Reviewer: James
------ About the song The Priest And The Matador performed by Senses Fail
obviously there's a lot of religious imagery in this song but something else i noticed was:
" I hear a woman
Start to yell
"Oh dear God, I think he fell" "
obviously the word God is used but, i think his 'falling' in this song is significant. as we know, the last 3 songs on this album are the build up to the end of his life, and i think the fact he dies by falling is very important. hell is below heaven, and supposedly heaven is in the sky - if he has 'fallen' from the sky, he's fallen from heaven. in my opinion, at the start of the song it is strongly implied that he has fallen from grace/heaven and is as far away from god as ever, re-inforced by the rejection of the priest and telling the man who wants him to pray to "please get the fuck away"

------ About the song 187 performed by Senses Fail
Okay, so No matter what Senses Fail song it is, there is just so much emotion in every lyric, You would be surprised how touching, and how much I can relate. Senses Fail is such a touching bad, and they need to keep up the good work.
Keep Thy Religion Thyself | Reviewer: Kelsi
------ About the song Can't Be Saved performed by Senses Fail
I love this song and the video. It may have nothing to do with the song but clearly the band is trying to say something. It seems like they are more progressive than some of their fans. I am christian myself but I am also Bi. I do not think homosexuality is a sin because not everything in the bible is true. What people seem to forget is that it was written by men not God.
If you don't like homosexuality then don't watch the video and keep your opinon to yourself. No one wants to read your hatred.

I first heard this song on THAW and I loved it ever since! I kinda like this version over the original but I give credit to Suicidal Tendencies to writing it in the first place. Now I want my band to cover this song!

The Meaning of Cinco de Mayo | Reviewer: powdertoastman
------ About the song Cinco De Mayo performed by Senses Fail
I personally think this song is about a former/current junkie whos city ruined him. and He moves away to find out its like Rehab! (The whole cold sweat thing). and he doesn't wanna go back to his addiction or city, hence, the chorus. :]
Stfu. | Reviewer: Shelby
------ About the song Institutionalized performed by Senses Fail
Dudes! This is a cover!!! Of course it's going to be different than the original. And people need to stfu about theguitar hero thing because that version is different from both s.t's and s.f's. That's why they say made famous by:_____. And if you don't like it why waste part of your life listening to it???? God. Seriously it's just a song. Its time to grow up and stop being such children and trying to fight over the computer. "Fighting over the Internet is the same as running in the special olympics. Even if you win you are still retarded." :D

------ About the song Can't Be Saved performed by Senses Fail
Damn people u know there is a reason why some people dont want to be around extreme religious people because they are always trying to preach there ways to you, its a song you can depict its meaning through whatever way you would like so dont go judging people on how they interpret a song its rude because it also says in the Bible to not to Judge because that is only Gods place. So plz people lets not get all in each others faces over a song that obviously many of us like
Emo or not... | Reviewer: Powdertoastman
------ About the song Bloody Romance performed by Senses Fail
it doesn't matter. people who dress it feel like dressing like that. i personally like most Emo music (30 seconds to Mars, Matchbook Romance, My Chemical Romance) its all good. i don't dress like them, or even cut myself, hell i don't even have straight hair. but i like the music. So what would really classify an Emo person as being that noticable? oh well.
And i don't even think Senses Fail is Emo. Sure alotta songs are about girls, but alotta bands do that. :/
