Thrice – Blood Clots And Black Holes Lyrics 18 years ago
Man, I have read many of your comments and they are all pretty interesting and diverse. But, I have different ideas about different parts of the lyrics. Such as:

"here's your new drug
shoot it in the left eye
feel it on the right side"
it seems he talks about how the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body... maybe he's just emphasizing the "drug that's supposed to help the heart (left eye), actually just acts upon something else, which is not the heart (right side)"

"no it's not love
though it sets up shop behind your ribcage
building blood clots and black holes
like using an axe to pull
a sliver from your skin"
this seems as if it were something the person is inhaling or swallowing for, thus, it is behind the ribcage also... I thought about marijuana, but some people mentioned it's not about drugs, etc., so I don't know... it could also be about surgery, trying to cure someone with stomach cancer or "stomach cancer", etc.

"and they say this is medicine
an overdose of oxygen
a severed head as sedative
to be at peace would be a sin
and surely un-american
i'm breaking"
for me this repeats the drug inhaling bit, but opens the possibility or the eternal war issue Thrice criticizes... for me the "severed head as sedative" is clearly about killing people and thinking we're "curing" other countries; "being at peace" is the opposite of what the US is enforcing... IOW, "they think war is medicine, but it actually isn't"

"here's your new blood
transfusion took us all night
tell us that you're all right
no it's not love"
seems like the war bit again, because a new nation has arrised in Iraq (tranfusion = new blood), and it wasn't a quick rise, actually is still going (took all night)

"though feels like fire inside of your veins
burning right beneath the wrist
begging for a razor's kiss
to free it from your skin"
I don't really know where this could fit in.. I think the hate or rage/anger definition of the song would fit with this

"lift the veil, it's not medicine
and my heart fails, time and time again"
could mean anything that is "a lie"

Thrice – In Years To Come Lyrics 19 years ago
I think this song is a romantic song because it refers to love, but I have never felt that it's a positive side of love. To me it seems as if the protagonist can't quite catch his intended lover's attention with any "skills/abilities/qualities" he possesses, so he has to resort to "pity love". It sounds as if he doesn't have enough to offer her, so he will prove his love by physically hurting himself, and expect she will love him back out of pity.

As beautiful as "while you are tangled up in sleep" seems, it shows me more of a total indifference to him.

"and this is my gift: is asking you to fix my ruined hands" - just pitifully and painfully sad.

If you watch the video clip of "Você Pode Ir Na Janela", by the Brazilian band Gram, you'll see what I see.

Well, that's my opinion. Hope you all agree :D

ps- I think this song is perfect and amazing...

Thrice – See You in the Shallows Lyrics 19 years ago
I don't think this song is about suicide... at least not about a deadly death.

I think that "it looks deep enough from here" means that the person that's "looking down" is not 100% sure of what he/she is going to try, but is confident enough to do it. "The crew seems ok" is evidently someone using others, who tried this, as an example; and they don't look that bad from the protagonist's point-of-view.

People smiling face down, floating in the water, with rocks wanting to break their bones, seems someone who wants to enter an addiction. I can see drug addicts smiling, looking dumber than the next, and convincing others to do it, because they look content from the experimenter's perspective.

Change the name of the song to "Living Suicide"! Fits better for all hehe :-)

Well, my opinion. Hope you all agree :P

The Calling – Adrienne Lyrics 21 years ago
After the last chorus, when the song starts to fade, he sings:

"It's what I want, it's what I want"

It's more easily heard in the acoustic version.

Araw, I thought what you said was perfect! Excellent!
I liked my interpretation, but sure is straight-through. Yours is more symbolic, so I prefer yours. ;)
Nice insight!

Audioslave – Show Me How to Live Lyrics 21 years ago
I'll put my thoughts line by line:

"And with the early dawn
Moving right along
Couldn't buy an eye full of sleep
(Jesus, the night b4 he was crucified, couldn't sleep and sweated blood - if I'm not mistaken)
And in the aching night under satellites
(Painfully waiting death)
I was not received
(Not received = Judas not accepting Jesus)

Built with stolen parts
Telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease?
(Saying he's the human version of God, and his mind won't rest because he's waiting death - Jesus prayed to the Father (priest) the night b4 he was crucified)

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
(He's being crucified and is suffering, now he wants to know what "rewards" he gets 4 that - show me how to live = show me life, pleasure)

And in the afterbirth
On the quiet earth
(Ressurection)
Let the stains remind you
You thought you made a man
(The stains = the shroud (stained with HUMAN blood) - saying he's in not just human)
You better think again
Before my role defines you
(He's human and not at the same time - Jesus will define God in the future - Jesus' role on Earth is defining God)

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live

And in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
(He's being received by the Father and becoming immortal - roling out of his human figure)
And in your final hours
I will stand
Ready to begin
(God's final hour is the Appocalypse and Jesus will return in this day)
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
(He's ready to return when God decides so)

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live"

My opinions, but I think it kind of makes sense. Sorry for my English - I'm Brazilian. :-D

Regards, Bruno.

Everclear – Santa Monica Lyrics 21 years ago
This song was written by Tom Petty, if I'm not mistaken. And Tom Petty has some very direct lyrics, so what you hear is what you get.

"Breakers" is the place where the waves actually break and come rolling towards shore.

Everclear – Sparkle Lyrics 21 years ago
I've read that this song is about Kurt Cobain and people compairing Art to Kurt. Seems like kind of a pissed off remark at Kurt selling out, and it really makes sense. :)

"The belly fire pulls the spirit from the corporate whore
I'm embarrassed by the plaid you wear
If I were you I'd hide behind that stupid bleach blonde hair "
