The Irony of Dying on Your Birthday
Senses Fail
Off the album Let it Enfold You
tabbed by Daniel Miller
Flipskaterpsych@aol.com

This is one of my favorite songs on Let it Enfold You
The guitar isn't too tricky so if you're having any trouble just work on it and you'll 
get it.
This tab definately isn't perfect but its close enough that you won't be able to hear 
any difference.

No Picture jimmy Wanna Be	#1 by jimmy rodrigues at Dec 6, 1974 at 1:21 AM EST
	this song is so great. it gets my so hyper its very random i love random!

No Picture Francis Average	#2 by Francis Delongchamp at Aug 1, 1981 at 11:54 PM EST
	"I wanna die like Jim Morrison A fucking rock star I wanna die like God on the cover of time." very awesome lyric

No Picture Doolittle Lead Player	#3 by Doolittle at Sep 22, 1982 at 7:25 PM EST
	love love love

No Picture GRIM Professional	#4 by GRIM at Apr 24, 1988 at 2:59 PM EST
	oh yeah, the meaning of the song..I think it's about how people want to become famous and then when they end up becoming famous they've changed.

No Picture Josh Professional	#5 by Josh Wilson at Jan 27, 1990 at 6:34 AM EST
	I noticed someone else wrote down something about how senses fail had quoted joseph campbell in the song... but this song seems to be all about unoriginal writing. the lyrics: Colors Blind the eyes Flavors Numb the taste Thoughts weaken the mind this is from the ancient philosophy taoism. Those words are written in the Tao Te Ching. I don't know whether that's cool or not, considering it's senses fail. I like them, don't get me wrong, but they're a mediocre screamo band serving as a guilty pleasure to me, not worthy of comparing themselves to the likes of Jim Morisson and quoting the Tao Te Ching in their songs.

No Picture PunkJunky Wanna Be	#6 by PunkJunky at Apr 25, 1991 at 8:09 AM EST
	this song never stops amazting me. The line uhm "And maybe I will write a sad song Or another clich poem Of the person that I long to be" is nothing more then a rip on the emo population. Duh. I think that this song is about how its not about being a rockstar or dieing like one, its about knowing who you are. You don't need "A pen, A pill, and some paper" you just need your cold raw feelings. Thats where "Colors blind The eyes" "Flavors numb The taste" "Thoughts weaken The mind" comes from right on

No Picture Jay the Hellrac Average	#7 by Jay the Hellracer... at Aug 11, 1991 at 9:04 AM EST
	he says jim morrison in the song...that makes that band fooking awesome, yo...

No Picture brian Average	#8 by brian haun at Mar 24, 1999 at 1:20 AM EST
	a fucking rockstar, i wanna die like one everytime.. couldn't have said it any better myself.

No Picture The other James Wanna Be	#9 by The other James Molina at Jan 8, 2000 at 10:03 PM EST
	It's about just how fleeting fame is and how hard Buddy struggled to become famous. Then I think he compares all the trouble he went through to the relatively small effort that a serial killer puts in for infamy. He makes a very good point, If someone asked me to name 3 serial killers I'd instantly think of Ted Bundy, Charlie Manson and Aileen Wuornos, asked to name 3 victims of these serial killers the best I could do is say: Roman Polanski's wife. I think he also suggests that he has comtemplated mass homicide for fame in the lines: "Maybe I will write a sad song, or another clichè poem, of the person that I long to be" and "I choose to be a serial killer 'cause the victims don't get any fame."

No Picture Lex Average	#10 by Lex Nafrodosze at Sep 12, 2000 at 2:03 AM EST
	This is a really great song, probably my favorite off the album, it's self explanatory.

No Picture Courtney Wanna Be	#11 by Courtney L. at Nov 9, 2003 at 7:48 AM EST
	i think its about someone wanting so desparetely to be truly famous forever, someone who really wants 2 leave an impact on the world. and wants to be remembered

No Picture dan Average	#12 by dan evans at Apr 11, 2007 at 3:28 PM EST
