Maybe I like it.

But it's not like that
And that I'm to blame.
You can tell that I'm sick inside

So what if I'm crazier than all the psychos?
So what if I'm not just sick?
So what if I'm not in control?
Maybe I like it.
So what?
So what?

You can tell that I'm going crazy
It's not quite right
And that I'm to blame
You can tell that I'm sick inside
But you don't know what I wanted
You can say anything
If it's not right, then I don't want otherwise!

So what if I'm crazier than all the psychos?
So what if I'm not just sick?
So what if I'm not in control?
Maybe I like it.
So what?
So what?

And when I rise
It's the best it can be
And when I fell
I despaired.
And when I rise
It's the best it can be
And when I fell
I despaired.
I despaired.
I despaired.

So what if I'm crazier than all the psychos?
So what if I'm not just sick?
So what if I'm not in control?
Maybe I like it.
So what?
So what?

Three Days Grace Biography
Adam Gontier - vocals, guitar
Brad Walst - bass, vocals
Neil Sanderson - drums, vocals
The debut album from the Toronto trio Three Days Grace is called Jive. Hailing from Norwood, Ontario, Canada, this band has put together a powerful, uncompromising rock album filled with lyrical melodies and verses that show dark side human behavior.
The first single "(I Hate) Everything About You" focuses on love-hate relationships; "Just Like You" - the struggle for their individuality, Three Days Grace writes songs of internal struggle and desire for freedom.
There's something insane on "Let You Down", a vocal progression on "Burn" and an intricate rocker beat on "Home." "There are a lot of crazy things in the world, and we use a lot of that in our songs," says drummer Neil Sanderson, the more talkative of the three. "I don't think it's easy to write about happy crap," adds performer-guitarist Adam darkly. "You don't have to fight for freedom when you're happy."
Adam and Brad grew up in Norwood, a town of 1,500 with only one street lit, but where the real drama unfolded. "You see people in a new way," explains Brad. "Everyone knows each other, and you can't hide anything. Maybe that's why we see not only the outside, but also what a person has inside." Neil is from Peterborough, just a 25-minute walk from big city, which spawned model/actress Estella Warren and musician Sebastian Bach.
The group was created as the first rock band (under a different name with a different repertoire) back in high school Adam is not exaggerating when he says, "all 1500 people in Norwood support the band". Guys, they didn't organize to have their faces flashed on MTV, they didn't crave records. They just love to play anywhere.
"We once opened for a film," says Neal. "We cruised to Muskokas (Ontario Country Cottage), in my car with trailer and tent, playing at a variety of bars along the way." They inserted a couple of their songs into their repertoire until they moved to Toronto in 1997. There they took the name of the group - Three Days Grace and performed only with original songs.
"Like any small band, as you grow up to a certain age, you start to realize you have three choices. It's sports, drugs, or music. For us, it was music," explains Adam. After they settled in Toronto, they contacted an old manager who introduced them to local musician, songwriter and producer Gavin Brown. "We played our entire repertoire and he chose from all of them what he called a 'gold nugget,'" Adam recalls of the 90-minute track they performed for him at his audition.
All songs are chosen in such a way that progress is felt from the first to the last song.
EMI Music Publishing Canada President Mike McCarty wanted to hear more. The band spent a lot of time with Gavin and recorded "(I Hate) Everything About You" and eventually a single jazz music became the first.
"Together with Gavin, we had a great perspective. We began to work with him a lot," says poet and composer Neil. "We loved Kyuss and Sunny Day Real Estate, and Gavin has a lot of respect for the Beatles and their original songs. He taught us that every song has to be amazing, and only then will it turn out good songs that others will like." From Toronto, what Neil jokingly called the "Jazz Crew" headed to Peterborough at the Gordon Best Theatre, where we had played a million times before, Neal says.
"We were well received there." This was the decisive reason for their trip to New York. "We were drinking wine with President Barry Weiss and he was talking about our music, that he could listen to it forever," says Neil.
"When the president of a company gives that kind of feedback about their work, it's a good sign," adds Adam.
In any case, in order to make the best records, he will stick to his solid system. The systems are Mr. Gavin Brown, although some in America have not heard of the Canadian musician who went platinum with the Canadian rock act Big Sugar, and played with rising star Danko Jones. So Brown left Canada in search of a better life, and went to Long View Farms, a studio near Boston.
"For a few months before Long View, we made pre-recordings, so by the time we went to Long View we were well prepared, except for some minor things."
Songs included "Let You Down", about cheating, as well as "Scared". "Some of the songs were written a long time ago, others were written over days," says Brad. "Overrated," he adds, "was written in one day." Then there was Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, New York.
Both studios proved to be ideal for these small towns; boys are easily distracted in the big cities.
Bearsville is the studio where one of Adam's favorite albums, Jeff Buckley's Grace, was recorded.
Maybe after that people will understand that there is not such a big difference between a big city and a small city.

Born in Norwood, Ontario (Canada)
His interest in music was instilled in him by his parents, who listened to completely different styles of music when Adam was growing up (he was influenced by bands such as The beatles, Sunny Day Real Estate, Jeff Buckley, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains). On the band's website, Gontier wrote: “My mother is a musician, so she is really the person who introduced me to the experience of performing live music. It was she who taught me to sing live. When I was 12, she took me to bars where I sang with orchestras. It was the Seattle scene that inspired me to write my own songs."

In 2006, Adam undergoes rehabilitation at SAMS (Center for Problems of Drug Addiction and mental health). It was after the treatment that the songs "Animal I Have Become", "Pain" and "GoneForever" were recorded. A half-hour later was released documentary about his drug addiction, called "Behind the pain", where Adam openly talks about all the nightmares of the disease and the struggle with it.

I can feel the energy
That changes in my chemistry
The atmosphere, the way I breathe
My automatic action is
To close my eyes and wander in
And wait until the madness ends

looking through distorted eyes
A mirror that I can't recognize
No way out, no sign exit
I try to make myself believe
I"m only in a lucid dream
It's like another world exists
I wanna go back into the abyss

Lost inside my head, I open up the door
Step right off the ledge, into the abyss
Nothing that I know, I can't hear what you say
Am I already dead, into the abyss

Lost communication with the world outside
So much devastation in my world I hide
I fall into my own, into the abyss

Lost inside my head, cracks across the floor
Step right off the ledge

into the abyss
Nothing that I know, I can't hear what you say
Am I already dead, into the abyss

Translation: Abyss

I feel the energy
Changing my structure
And the emptiness around, the way I breathe.
My programmed action -
Close your eyes and just think
And wait until the madness evaporates.

Am I already dead? Into this abyss

I look with blurry eyes
It's like looking into a mirror that I don't recognize.
No exit, no retreat sign.
Trying to make myself believe
Like I'm just dreaming
It's like it's like a completely different real world.
But I want to return to the abyss.

Confused in thought, I open the door
I take a step from the edge, straight into the abyss.
I don't know anything and I can't hear you.
Am I already dead, in this abyss?

Lost contact with outside world,
Drowned in the void that I hide
I'm falling into my own abyss.

Entangled in thoughts, in cracks in the floor,
I take a step from the edge...

Straight into the abyss!
I don't know anything and I can't hear you.
Am I already dead? Dead in the abyss?

In the section on the question of how the name of the group is translated, given by the author Jane Air the best answer is 1) Three Days of Grace (or grace, or courtesy, depending on the context)
2) Lost prophets (or LOST, but not lost!)

Answer from Ѝyvind Storm of the Fjords[guru]
First - three days of grace
The second is the lost prophets

Answer from Katerina Tsytsareva[active]
I don’t know about the second group, I’ve never been a fan of them, and I haven’t even heard of them, so 😀
But the name of the group Three Days Grace is translated as Three days of grace. Not grace, grace, grace, or some other burd. Thank you!
According to Adam, the band's name came from the question, "If you only had three days, what would you change?"

Answer from Mikhail Gineevsky[newbie]
The name has nothing to do with grace and grace! Three days grace - Three days of grace.
The band got its name from bass player Brad Walst when he was an accountant. He heard the term "three days grace period" - this is an economic term used to designate the period of time during which the debtor is given the opportunity to pay the amount of the debt without charging a penalty. They didn't call themselves that because there were three of them. Here is how they themselves explain everything:
"- Music is like liberation. We give vent to emotions only when necessary. We are not negative people at all. We only consider things that excite us and that we would like to change ... That's where our name Three came from Days Grace If you had three days to change something, would you be able to do it?"
Adam says in an interview.
