| From Autumn to Ashes – Placentapede Lyrics | 19 years ago |

The song translated into simpler terms from my point of view. It's easy to get our music to reach white people. Abuse them, go away for a while, then come back with an album. They're being taught not to hold to anything. Students in the modern school system encourage and force this upon each other. This next part is possibly a reference to homo/bisexual teens. (Sexual organs start exchanging It feels like I'm in a Darger painting, Henry must have been lonely) Henry Darger wrote stories and painted pictures of hermaphrodite children. (They were both boys and girls at the same time) "Henry must have ben lonely" He was a recluse, and Fran may be asserting that loneliness leads to homosexuality. On to the chorus... Van City is slang for Vancouver, Canada. "Van City's got a wide array of suspects They're not afraid to do whatever you suggest Seems to be no shortage of the excess So let's dive in, let's dive in" Vancouver has the highest crime rate of any large Canadian city. Fran seems to be saying, like in the first verse, and in a satirical fashion, go with the flow. Let's go to Van City and commit crimes, because everyone else does. Let's hold to no beliefs, or go homosexual (No, I'm not against homosexuality), or listen to From Autumn To Ashes just because everyone else is doing it, Next verse... I'm using big words so the fans can't tell what I'm saying (Nice try Fran) I'll sing about what nobody thinks I will. "Zip driven amputee, frustrated. Can't seem to get a clear connection" (Zip is another word for an ounce of marijuana) Marijuana addict frustrated because he can't understand the damn song! He may stope listening to the song, impatient with this new style. (The change in Abandon Your Friends) The cave in may be a reference to the band braking up, which was their plan until recently. Last verse. Amber is a type of LSD (drug) If you die doing drugs, that doesn't mean you're a bad person or a good person. Don't consider your life wasted. Even if you diodn't do drugs, you would die another way. Don't ask me (Fran) what this song means. Figure it out yourself. (Which I think I just did) Possibly a deep song, possibly I'm just overanalyzing it. Great song either way. |

| As Cities Burn – Of Want And Misery: The Nothing That Kills Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I can really relate to this song. It's about someone he loves that is selrf destructive, perhaps physically or emotionally. Because of his great love for the person, he tries to save her and her self-destruction kilkls him inside. Eventually he realizes that he can't save her, but instead of abandoning her, he promises to continue loving her, regardless of his own misery. And this misery, these "second chances without end" are what the world calls "romance". | |
| Emery – In between 4th and 2nd street Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song is just an interlude. The title fits with the whole "Where were you when I was..." question, and it preceeds "The Terrible Secret". "And I... Paint these streets with open arms..." | |
| From Autumn to Ashes – Jack & Ginger Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Amazing song! I love the Perri songs on the album. I think with a lot of their new stuff, FAtA has lyrics that are either deeper or with "more rhyme than reason" than their old stuff. Biology is the same way. It doesn't really matter to them how the public interprets them, only that it sounds good and they like it. And that's what makes them so great. | |

| Sounds good. Anyone know where I can get it? I couldn't find it... | |
| From Autumn to Ashes – Streamline Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I love this song so much. This may be a long shot, but Fran drew the cover of his album Biology, and that's a robot. There seems to be a few subtle connections like this to Biology, which would make sense since he was working on AYF and Biology at the same time... | |
| Emery – In A Win, Win Situation Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song is one of my favorites on the album. I love the little end part sung with the girl. "And I'll stay here. You'll be gone for another year. And plans that I've made are falling on deaf ears. And I'm beside myself now that you have gone..." These lyrics almost sound like regret on her part. Anyone know who the female that sings it is? | |

| I believe the "Begin. Present. Fade out." part is him thinking what he'll do, and knowing it will soon be over, and he can move on. | |
