i have a friend who's a real airheaded frat boy type. not big into art or music. but every time he drives home from college, he listens to this song, and it nearly brings him to tears.
that's just how powerful the beauty of this song is. |

boeckner said it's a song dedicated to his girlfriend for being supportive of him when his mother died.
hence, "...and left the body in the bed all day/we don't know what to do."
i believe the correct lyric is "I am my mother's hand." |

funny-- i always thought it was "i feel my body reeling, time's no matter, i'm on fire . . ."
how great that when i went to the band's website, i found out that i was RIGHT, and you were WRONG. |

This song is pure GENIUS. Bazan obviously doesn't want to come out and admit it's about masturbation-- would you? His music is always so personal. I read this whole argument, and I'm convinced it's about masturbation. He's disguised it as a run-of-the-mill prayer song about a mundane sin-- laziness. I don't think that's what it is about, however. He gives several hints throughout the song. First of all, LISTEN TO THE METRONOME. What does that remind you of? Why else would someone place a blatant metronome noise in their song unless they were hinting at something, or just being obnoxious. Second, as someone else mentioned, listen to the way he says "ridiculous." And, of course, there is the metaphor at the very beginning. Come on guys, open up your eyes and ears! |
