I think it's supposed to be satirical (maybe that's the wrong word), but I believe he's trying to show he's blinded by love for the person in the song, and even though she's a bad person/influence he still is happy to see her.. I believe this because when he talks about her he always shows her somewhere low, or deep, or beneath other things such as "Just beneath all the green you were buried like a little seed among the roots and underground.", and he also calls her a sickness that he caught, not by choice, but like an addiction (undesirable) and when he uses the analogy of her being a needle and him the thread, he says " she leads me away from everything good". He also refers to her as garbage, and that's another derogeratory phrase. Then he mentions swimming in the ocean and again he shows her beneath everything, and generally rising up or being above is that desirable way to be (and also the reference of God being up in the sky and the Devil being down below), which shows, to me at least, he's going after what he knows he shouldn't, but he can't resist her. He then uses a juxtaposition with the bright colored fish and the person in the song, when previously he called her a sickness, garbage, and all the references to her being below everything else, which shows a struggle, in my opinion. It's as if he sees the bright colored fish and pays particular attention to them, and then he sees her, and he thinks 'Do I prefer the bright , vibrant, happy look of the fish, or this person that I shouldn't go for?' and unfortunately for him he chooses her yet again. And then he says "You, my hidden pearl of pure and perfect love and I'm living example of 100% the opposite of this" which shows that only he sees how good she is (or how good he thinks she is), reinforcing that love is blind, and he is unable to see through all her flaws and still desires her, and he says he's "100% the opposite of this", proving that he knows he's much better than her (about 100% better), but yet again is still going for her. There's a bit of conflict being established when he states "If I ask the same questions well maybe I repeat myself from time to time. But it's because everyone who answers me is a liar. " because, I imagine, he asks friends and family what they think of her and I'd also imagine they answer him honestly, and tell him how bad she is for him, but he can't/doesn't beileve it, and calls them liars, since he sees past all of her bad qualities. When he says "But you untie me - didn't you untie me, lord? ", I can't figure out what that means, a friend of mine says mewithoutyou always sings of a girl name Amanda who left the singer because she loved God more than him, I don't know if that's the case honsetly, but if it is then I believed he's thanking God for getting this girl out of his life and is showing his appreciation for untying the bonds of his love to her. |

| Showbread – Matthias Replaces Judas Lyrics | 21 years ago |

Wow.. I'm a strong athiest and despite my beliefs on religion, I think this has to be one of the most incredible songs ever written.. I could go on and on about how great it is, but if you're reading this post I'm sure you already realize it. I cannot comprehend how a band like Showbread is relatively unpopular despite how talented they are, while *insert MTV band name here* gets all the fame for being typical... It just floors me these guys don't get the credit they truly deserve, they are amazing artists and I'm just thankful I have been able to experience them in my home and as well at live performances. |

| NOFX – Decom-Poseur Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I tore this song apart with dictionary.com, and after finding the meaning of the title (look up Decomm and Poseur) I think it's absolutely brilliant. I've never been as impressed with nofx as I am after looking deeply into this song... Absolutely brilliant. | |

Some people are so arrogant.. I have the cd, and if you didn't know, I can pretty much assure you it's a complete cry out toward the government and their disagreement with the war.. Even the title of the cd "emotive" (meaning relating to the emotions) further conveys how well this song is done.... just because its not identical to the original doesn't mean it's not good... The way maynard does his vocals in this song is sad, slow, depressing, and upsetting... this reflects his (and many, many others) view of whats going on in the country... get a clue before you just say "this song isnt like the original therefore i dislike it". |
