I kinda agree with allsystemsgo on this song. When I first read the lyrics I related the pirate fighting to actual fighting from separate groups. Like a playground fight between a kid and a bully. He wants the other guys to see their leader of the group to fall. And he knows that just because they won the one fight there will probably be others. |

I don't think this song directly refelects the poem by Bukowski, but it does draw alot from it. I think that the song by itself is about how the writer has realised that he's been living a life of complex lies his entire life and that he wants to kill the "person" he's become and by washing ashore in weeks he'll have found who he really is and can start over. |

Because a band dosn't write music that's easily accessible to the mainstream dosn't mean they are more musically talented or that they've even done anything for the music industry at all other than generate record sales. I love Senses Fail lyrics/music and I will admit some of them are deeper than others BUT there are many more well written songs then there are shallow. And then even the shallow ones are at least worded well. In regards to the whole Thursday crap, I 'd have to take sides with emerica. I've been in and out of bands the last 6 years and can completely understand how being young can boost song writing. Where is this "innovation" of thursday of which you speak of? That of which you say they do "time and time again"?. How original. I'm sorry that every band dosn't want to save the world(because they can't). Maybe if U2 and thursday got toegther they could save a baby seal. If I wanted to be preahced at I'd go to church. |

This song is based on the 9th chapter/passsage of Dao De Jing book or teachings. I'm not quite sure what it's technically called. The passage reads "Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after your money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity."
I think the song is about, freeing yourself of extremes and of what others think of you. The chorus about "trapped in our own private hells" refers to the line in the passage about being others prisoner and the part about "the broken hearts that are soaked with fear" refers to seeking for approval that you never win. |
