Say Anything – Crush'd Lyrics 13 years ago
Yeah, if you knew Max's songwriting style you would understand that his use is all ironic, but the things could be true. His use of the cliche'd lyrics are in a cutesy manner, saying that he thinks Sherri is as beautiful as an angel (obviously), but also refers to Sherri's christianity and how it has affected Max.

Two Tongues – Interlude Lyrics 15 years ago
This song is about Chris Conley and Max Bemis meeting in a bar. Chris Conley is Max Bemis's close friend and personal idol. This is about their friendship growing and the birth of Two Tongues, through a night of watching 'movies made about outer space.'

Owl City – Dear Vienna Lyrics 15 years ago
I think the 'Dear Vienna' refers to this being a letter he's writing to a girl named Vienna. He's tells of how he was extremely depressed when he focused on the evil and death in the world, rather than the good and the life. He instead focuses on the details of life, and that helps him feel better about this fleeting existence.

Ben Folds – Not The Same Lyrics 15 years ago
It sounds to me like his friend became a Christian whilst on drugs, which Ben saw as an ironic way of saying that the only reason anybody would believe in God would be whilst they were on drugs. He then describes what his friend did after that, becoming a door-knocker, trying to sell Christianity to people. The 'one good trick' is the 'Good News'. Ben, I think, was also commenting on the stupidity of Religion. That's my 2 cents.

Say Anything – Metal Now Lyrics 15 years ago
I think this song is about a girl that he knew who was a stereotypical emo.
'She slit her wrists for attention in 1996'
She was a 'poser' emo, who did what she did for attention, rather than because she was tortured emotionally. Max notices this and challenges her to actually do something, like a suicide pact with him. He tells her that he can help her die if that is what she wants. Because she was just a 'poser' emo, she obviously refuses, hence
'i get angry
when you're around
when you're around
i get nasty
when you're around
when you're around'

I don't know if that's right, but it makes a lot of sense to me.
Might not be applicable for the time that max wrote it, but it sure as hell is applicable now.

Say Anything – This is Fucking Ecstasy (feat. Anthony Raneri) Lyrics 15 years ago
I'm sprinting yet I stride
My satchel filled with vials
The secrets of the tribe
The cameras follow me for miles

Born a slave in 1984,
Discovered that my life is just a record they performed
A maze where I was placed
Tell me what you think of this one
Tell me what you think of this one

'Cause now I;ve sold you out
Now that there's no doubt
Now I've called you out
Now I've sold you out

They strapped me to the roof
and they cut right through me
Diggin' through my wounds
I watched them hopelessly and choke
Where are my pills, where is my former lover?
I've been betrayed by everyone I know don't blown my feeble cover.

Tell me what you think of this one.
Tell me what you think of this gun.

Now I've sold you out
Now that there's no doubt
Now I've called you out
Now I've sold you out

'Cause the truth is this:
I finally know what they conceived so long ago
A baby rat for them to test,
The poison's on a rubber breast
For me to learn; dependence on the shackles here
But now they're gone
The place I live in hyper speed

I shall not live; I shall not breathe again

(Hey Man)

This is fuckin' ecstasy
This is fuckin' leprosy
It's like they're fuckin' testing me
This is fuckin' ecstasy
