It couldn't be worse from verse to verse
It sounds like Korn but a little bit worse
Is it Christian or Canadian? Guess!
On 90.7 it's bad 311
Evidently it's a hit but it stinks to high heaven
Is it Christian or Canadian? Guess!

Play the game that isn't fun
Can't be ignored and can't be won
Someone get me a gun

It sounds kind of emo or not so tight screamo
And he keeps saying "him" so I'm gonna say homo
Is it Christian or Canadian? Guess!
He's wearing a sweater like '98 Vedder
But it's 2002 and the song could be better
Is it Christian or Canadian? Guess!

It is said that those who cannot do
Will end up teaching stuff to you
Or some of them find God instead
Or better yet the border

I cannot quite place it, it sounds like Ocasek
But 20 years later you might as well face it
Is it Christian or Canadian? Guess!
It's so non-commitish, like light Reel Big Fish
Or rock en espanol translated into English
Is it Christian or Canadian? Guess!

Canadian or Christian?
SOMEONE GET ME A GUN!
CANADIAN!

    I think this part of the song is about P.O.D. A terrible Christian rock band that sounds a little like 311 and Korn but worse.

    "It sounds like Korn but a little bit worse Is it Christian or Canadian? Guess! On 90.7 it's bad 311 Evidently it's a hit but it stinks to high heaven Is it Christian or Canadian? Guess!"

    The other part of the song is definitely about Nickelback. "He's wearing a sweater like '98 Vedder But it's 2002 and the song could be better" They're Canadians.

    I dont have any ideas about the other bands they're referring to. There are so many bands out there. The song is just about mediocre bands that are flooding the airwaves.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
