| Bright Eyes – Clairaudients (Kill or Be Killed) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Not wanting to be cheeky, but googling for 'clairaudient' will help you understand what the spoken word parts might be about: http://www.answers.com/clairaudient&r=67 I'm not really sure what the song itself means, but it reminds me of 'Arc of Time' on Digital Ash, a sort of swirling, epic intro to the album that gives you a taste of the lyrical and music style that's to come. 'Kill or be Killed' might be a reference to his other song 'To Love or Be Loved', though what that reference might be is beyond me! Anyone? Lots religious and war references in here too, a bit like Bob Dylan's song 'The Times They Are a Changin'', and this song also has the lines "Would you agree times have changed?". Just a few thoughts... Great song though! |

I love the lyric, "Nothing but rotten apples lay here light years from the tree", which is clearly a play on the famous saying "The apple never falls far from the tree", which means children are always like their parents. Once again, Skiba doesn't fail to impress with his clever lyrics. "Crimson" is good, go buy it. |

Apparantly it's a poem too, which is kind of cool. Not sure if this is what bren's referring to, but the lyrics are sweet and I think it's about Abe Lincoln's death. Here's a link to the poem. http://utcsl.phys.utk.edu/~forrest/poems/captain.html |

| The Lawrence Arms – The Northside, the L&L, and Any Number of Crappy Apartments Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Well, it's just super cool. Like all Lawrence Arms songs the lyrics are immense, they just strike a chord with me. Bren once said this song is about anight out drinking with Matt Skiba (of Alkaline Trio fame), how cool is that. And I've read in an interview with Matt Skiba that the L&L is some bar in Chicago where he goes to drink. I love this song, and it's about getting pissed with friends - all good!!! |

| Alkaline Trio – Jaked On Green Beers Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
The alcohol thing stuck a slight chord with me, but i still think it's just about a bad friend/girlfriend. And, RobWalker, you misinterpreted the line: "And the hope that I never see your face again is anything but questionable." Here "Anything but questionable", means that his "hope" is *not* questionable, he never wants to see their face again. This song is just about not wanting to see someone again for all the bad shit they did to you. |

| Alkaline Trio – '97 Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
It's about weed. I've got a few live bootlegs of this song and instead of, "I won't breathe you for 18 months", he sings, "I won't smoke you for 18 months". Plus, lyrics like, "When I was with you I forgot about everything", and, "dry my eyes", just back this up. He also usually sings some lyrics by Annie DiFranco just before the "I don't deserve this" part, it's cool. The lyrics for this song (on the top of the page are slightly wrong too), just thought I'd let ya all know... |

| Alkaline Trio – Sadie Lyrics | 21 years ago |

Yeah, at the moment it's my favourite on the split too! Although I usaully go through "phases" of liking different tracks all the time, it took me two or three listens of the split to decide that I liked it (but the same can be said for Good Mouring and Maybe I'll catch Fire)!!! Anyways, yeah, this song is definately about Manson and his "family". Susan Atkins, whose testimony is read by Heather Hannoura (long time Trio "designer") during the song, is what the song is about. There's reference to the man himself too: "Charlie’s broken .22". It's interesting reading (if a bit disturbing) if you want to go into it!!! Matt truly is a modern day punk rock poet!!! |

| DVagnoni87, the album insert says Nolan McGuire does "additional" guitar on Sadie - which is probably the solo you're on about. Although it would be nice if it was Matt ( he himself admits he's a "hack at guitar")!!! | |
