Streetlight Manifesto – We Are The Few Lyrics 10 years ago
actually a song doesn't mean anything just because you want it to. that's just silly and childish. you should really be embarrassed for having had such a little person thought. were you proud when you had it? did you give yourself a mental high five? a song means what a song means, sometimes there's overlap between a literal interpretation and a metaphor but beyond that you could hardly justify much else. in other words, just because you're too stupid to interpret a language you fucking speak and write in you got your tampon all in a twist and start shooting period piss blood at us. eat some chocolate, get your hair did, work on growing a penis.

Streetlight Manifesto – Everything Went Numb Lyrics 10 years ago
obviously about a robbery. possibly also about anxiety as fear seems a prominent part of the song?

"everytime he'd think it out: "there's nothing to worry about
get in the van, don't deviate from the plan
if everything goes smooth then you'll walk away a rich man"

seems like he's trying to calm his mind and convince himself he'll be fine, and reminds himself that if he overcomes this obstacle, then he'll be that much better off later.

Streetlight Manifesto – If And When We Rise Again Lyrics 10 years ago
jesus christ guys.... any of you actually READ the lyrics?

1. it's not about drugs. no. just no. sorry but if you think that's what this song is about you're listening wrong.

2."don't you come to me with all your color-coded quotes
everybody's laughing but they never ever get my jokes
fool, you're a tool, a sheep
and it's obvious to everyone but company you keep
and don't you squint at me because your childhood was the pits
every single one of us have trodden through our shit
oh, and i know you're shrewd
because i smell it on your clothes
it's in everything you do

this part is about someone who is shitty and fake, which is apparently obvious to everyone except for the "company" that he/she [keeps]. Pretty obvious as Tomas directly states "fool, you're a tool, a sheep". probably negative and blame all their shit on a bad childhood instead of owning up. and it lingers like a cloud over their head, hence the "smell it on your clothes" and "it's in everything you do" lines.


"everything we built
(it's gone)
and every one around
(is stunned)
we just sit here staring blankly
and everything goes numb
lord, if i felt a thing
i could wrap my mind around this
and prevent our getting singed
please excuse my enemies
i think they do not know
i will gladly self destruct if they leave me alone
friend, that's the end of us
because you're behind in empathy and overdue on trust"

this section is about how this person is effecting the people around them. the person is lacking in empathy and trust and it's alienating the people around him/her. "everything we built (is gone)" meaning the relationship between the narrator and the person has crumbled. the narrator is stunned by this persons selfish behavior and it's singed whatever friendship they may have had.

calmly, calmly and patiently
we've seen all the evidence
but still cannot believe
and if and when we rise to our feet again
we'll be on our own"

no matter how hard then narrator tries to help this person, they reject the help because of their distrust, hence the line "we've seen all the evidence but still cannot believe". and the narrator is getting fed up and leave this person to their own self-destructive way of life. hence the line "if and when we rise to our feet again we'll be on our own".

now one thing im not sure about, in the first three lines of the song, the perspective seems to jump around, and i'm thinking that possibly this is because the "shitty person" is actually two conflicting parts of Tomas, an internal struggle, if you will, the heavy use of "we" and "our" hints toward this as well. and possibly main narrator was an ex-friend of Tomas's who saw his struggle as being selfish?

To all of the nazi shits who are complaining because streetlight are against ignorant religious extremists and believe that if you are going to be religious that you should be respectful and sensible about it: fuck your bullshit because your not the kind of person i want to run into at a concert. nor do you deserve to attend.
