hey... could this song have a christian meaning....? Dunno. it just seemed that way a couple minutes ago. "Well I believe in luck I think I do Well I believe for sure If ever I see you" and there were some other things too.... but I'm probably totally off. I'll have to get back to you on that after I've had a chance to think some more about it. thanks. -dyinginnewbrunswick |

| Blindside – Where Eye Meets Eye Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| I know that beautiful would not be the first word that pops into your mind when listening to this song, but it truly is. I love the fact that there are true guys out there.... real men DO love jesus... | |
| Dashboard Confessional – This Old Wound Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| and every time you're gone, I DO wish that you'd come back... *sigh* I guess the depression won over... *gives humorless laugh* figures.... | |

I just wanted to say that I think half-naked is funnny. funk... *clutches stomach laughing, then wipes away tear*. woooh. okay, so I would have to say that I'm not gonna speak about the whole selling out thing, because that's a fight I will never "win". I just love the music. screw mtv. the music either sucks or it doesn't. and personally, I think this song and dashboard are sweetness personified. but that's just me. the first time I heard this song was aobut half an hour ago ( I was busy replaying it for the tenth time while reading "rocking horse winner" at the insistence of the song age six racer.) I love it. I really do. his voice is amazing, and the music is great. not to mention those lyrics.... "I've been bleeding well from this old wound, cleaning it with salt so it will still feel new." who can't relate to that...? I have a terrible habit of always doing that. I refuse to get over something that hurts, because I like the pain too much... maybe it just reminds me I'm alive. "and everyone watched me waste myself and cheered at last, and all of them found it comforting. It's better it's me than them." *laughs with bitterness* yeah. and my other favorite line is "I think I'm doing well from what they say..." that's just sweeeetness. but if you really want to know the first thing I thought about the shoelaces part, well... A long time ago, I once had a friend that they put on suicide watch, and the first thing they do is take the shoelaces away... I dunno. it just made me think of that. *sighs thoughtfully, remembering the "good ol days"* nevermind. anyway, this song makes me think about a lot of things. although my emo self refuses to give into the depression ensuing. I'm just too happy right now. oh yeah, and I forgot a line... "but everytime you're gone, I wish that you'd come back...." I'm feeling that line tonight.... every night... |

Hey. I read all the posts and everything, but here's my opinion. I personally think it DOES matter if members of a band are christian. but you guys are labeling a little too much. an extremely good band I know (personally) has told me many times that even though almost every song of theirs has christian meaning, they are not a "christian" band. they write about their life experiences and, being christian boys, those experiences involve God. so it really doesn't matter what we label them as. they are what they are. so I think it's really important that we form our own meanings. and by the way, the band I mentioned is so awesome. you should REALLY see them live or buy a cd. www.solongleslie.com! loves. dyinginnewbrunswick |

| Thursday – The Dotted Line Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| I think that this song is in general about someone who is afraid. Not just of death, but of life also. and of change. and of risk. just fear, you know? "it's hard to dream if you're a ghost" meaning that the person is so afraid that they turn into a shadow of a person. and he's trying to tell the person that it's only a matter of time before we fade out, so just live your life. Hee hee. okay, I'm done. | |
| Alkaline Trio – Steamer Trunk Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| I got from the line "trying to forget how you've been touched" that she was raped or something at her prom. but maybe he means something different..... | |
| Alkaline Trio – Stupid Kid Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| I love august in bethany as well..... tjt rocks. and the words to "the closest thing" make me want to cry. but seriously now, I think as well that this song is about saying that you take back "I love you" just to get the person to hurt half as much as you do. I went through the same thing a while back when I took back the three words, because I didn't think he cared and I wanted him to feel bad for how he made me feel. What I didn't know was that taking it back would hurt him a lot worse than anything else I could have done to him, and now I feel so guilty because I found out that he did care.... But I still regret ever telling him I loved him. Not that I don't still feel it, but I just wish I hadn't put myself out there like that..... I have a problem with vulnerability. But as much as I'm sorry that I told him in the first place, I'm even more sorry that I took it back...... | |
| Thursday – Paris in Flames Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| oh yeah, and one of the things that I love about this song is the sense of urgency in his voice and in the words and music. Like he wants to get his message across so badly to save the world... I also think that this song deals with the world in general, not just acceptance. | |

I really would overall have to agree with forgetmyname because he made a really good point about the word tolerance. I would also like to think that we're a bit more mature than reducing ourselves to mindless caustic remarks on the internet. Besides, what this site is for is to post what we feel about the songs, not the people who listen to them. also, about tolerance, isn't the whole idea that we should tolerate people who have different views than us? Yeah, most of us would agree that this song is awesome, but the sad truth is that we have to accept the people who don't feel that way. All right, enough talk about that, more about the music. I half-listened to this song many times before I actually read the lyrics and made myself sit down and listen to the song. That's when I decided that this song is SO awesome! allright, I sound like a fourteen-year-old when I say crap like that, but it is. My favorite part of this song would have to be the spoken parts, especially the "discard this message, throw this bottle back into the ocean...." and on another subject, I agree with whoever said that this song isn't necessarily about acceptance of gays or minorities. Sometimes I wonder if the meaning of the song is even deeper than the issue of acceptance itself. hmmmm. Leaving us all with something to think about. |

wow. that really sounds depressing. I forgot to send out my condolances to everyone who can relate to this song. I know how hard it is, but when you have people that want to help you through, it's easier. I just wanted to add that I was really depressed that night because it was two days before my birthday. I'm sorry to whomever's stories i took away from. I think I also took away from the song. I just wanted to say that this song is so good. And so true. Thanks to you all for letting me get my emotions out! Peace be with all. |

wow. my two cents are all explained in a story I wrote about a friend I had a long time ago who got into a car accident while I was with him. He was in the hospital with internal bleeding, but the doctors finally told me that he would be fine. but then after some tests, they found out that he had cancer and only had two months to live at best. They told me that he would be in a lot of pain for the rest of the time. It was a really tough situation, and I hated to have to watch him die in such a painful way. Not to mention the fact that his parents weren't around at that time, so I had to tell him the news. I gave his eulogy exactly one month and three days after that day.... His parents didn't even come to the funeral. But on a note about the song, it fits perfectly almost to every line. I'ts been almost a year now, and the line about how he sees the resemblance, well, that's extra hard for me because I know how much Danny changed my life and how we were so close. I can see so much of him in me that I hate to look in the mirror sometimes.... I celebrated his birthday a couple weeks ago, alone for the first time in five years. It was hard, because I know that he would want me to let go, but I just can't seem to function the same. It's wierd to think about how much I've changed since that day in the hospital. Things that I took for granted and stuff like that. The simple joys in life are gone now... And it's wierd, because this song is about how he decides that he's going to move on now after so long, but he knows that he will still feel it... That's kind of how I feel about daniel. I know that I'm at a point where I have to move on. It's hard, because I'll be doing really well one minute and then the next I'll be crying on the bathroom floor in the dark, curled into a little ball just because I heard a song that we used to sing together... |

| Thursday – Where The Circle Ends Lyrics | 24 years ago |
| But then again, I thought I had a point before. It was about this song: when he goes from talking about the beautiful magnificent sunset, he then says that in this beauty, no one even lives here. They are too busy wasting their lives and making the same mistakes over and over with their lives. They make up this life, but are not willing to live it. when he says that we often struggle only for the right to say we have improved conditions, he means that we do things not to have done them, but just to be given the credit for doing them. When he talks about forming communities for exclusionary devices, he's talking about how we as humans need to have acceptance in some class on some level. Not only to be a part of something, but to keep others out. Also, people are calling for someone to teach them, but no one will answer their call. When Geoff goes on to talk about the books and pages and vanishing alphabets, he's talking about something like how we do these things, for example "write a book", even though it means nothing to us. Then when someone "reads" it, they are reading aloud the sounds of a vanishing alphabet, the "alphabet" being our ability to "write the book" so to speak. All right, as we can all tell, that last part is still kind of being worked out in my mind. Thanks for listening! | |

okay, I have to say my name says it all. I love Thursday, I really do. I just don't want to see them get all famous on me. One of the great things about Thursday is that they are not manufactured, that the writing (from the great man Geoff Rickley) comes from somewhere completely untouched upon by any other artists out there, and I could probably go on for years. Okay punkrockntuna, here you go: They had their debut album titled "waiting" off of Eyeball Records, a little-known record label, mostly emo stuff. They are now signed to Victory Records, according to Geoff because they can get their stuff to reach more people through this new label. This is also why he says it wasn't "selling out" to have signed to a bigger record label. Anyway, their current cd is called "Full Collapse". Oh yeah, and their members are Geoff Rickley on vocals, Steve Pedulla on guitar, Tim Payne on bass, Tom Keeley on guitar, and Tucker Rule on drums. They come from New Jersey and have some incredible stuff. If you want to know more about "Understanding in a Car Crash" then check out what I posted about it earlier. Also, according to Geoff their song "How Long is the Night" is about his battle with insomnia caused by the incident which inspired "Understanding". I hope this gets you started in loving Thursday about as much as I do. If that's even possible... Anyway, Big News!!! Muchmusic now also plays the video for "Understanding in a Car Crash"!!!! I saw it today and thought, "how great for them"! and then I thought "how sad for us." :( To those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, well I'll just put it this way; I would pay millions of dollars to listen to Thursday intimately in a club, live. But on the other hand, if they get too famous and start playing packed arenas, I wouldn't pay nearly as much to see them. Another thing is that on this past tour Geoff, singing at a show every night, almost had a lung collapse. This is not good. Then if they get more of a following and have those fake fans come out to their shows and pay for Thursday merch and crap like that, and they get really big, then I will worry about his health as well as the rest of the bands'. I don't like to worry about my Geoffy. I am WIERD! boy, maybe I'm up too late or something. I haven't slept in the past two days, so if I'm rambling, I'm sorry. Geoffy? Where did that come from? Oh boy. Anyway, hope that helps. Gotta go, bye! |

| Thursday – Streaks In The Sky Lyrics | 24 years ago |
| I agree with sentimentalf0ol on this one. Like he went looking for something better but he's always led back to this same place. He realizes that this may not be what he thinks he wants, but he knows it's where he's supposed to be. Or maybe I'm just psycho. I love Thursday so much... (sigh). Geoff Rickley is my role model for life. I think I've said that before... lol | |

| great opener! Oh my god, listening to it on the record and hearing it open to understanding is the coolest | |
| Thursday – Understanding In A Car Crash Lyrics | 24 years ago |
| I love Geoff, he is the bomb! He is my inspiration and role model for life! If you're ever looking for answers to a problem, go to a thursday song! | |
| Thursday – Understanding In A Car Crash Lyrics | 24 years ago |
| there was an article on thursday on a website somewhere and I printed it up. Geoff says "My girlfriend was in a really bad car wreck and my best friend died in it, and I spent the next few months in the hospital (with my girlfriend)..." It goes on to say that Rickly drove by the wreckage without knowing his loved ones were involved. "When you go through it, you really get a sense of how desensitized everything is. We saw flashing lights and cars, but we couldn't make out the car because the wreck was so bad. We were like, 'Wow, that was pretty rough', and no one thought about it. Then the pictures were everywhere in all the newspapers the next day. The song deals with people's intrusion into things that are so life-altering for other people. It's also about getting that first real taste of how fragile life is and how quickly things can go." So that's basically what the song is about. But it's really up to your interpretation to know what the song is "really" about. | |
