| Jimmy Eat World – Polaris Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Right, taking Jim as the person writing the song, (instead of when bands sing songs from someone elses point of view), and going from the top to finish, this is my interpretation: Jim is trying to justify with himself going on tour, scared that leaving his wife will harm his relationship with her. (I'll say it straight and plain, I know I've made mistakes, I've always been afraid.) To tour, he has to leave arizona (A thousand nights or more, I travel east and north) And he wants to know he'll be let 'back in' when he comes home (Please answer the door) The chorus is then, I think his wife seeing him off, and telling Jim it's ok. (Then you tell me:You say that love goes anywhere, in your darkest time its just enough to know its there) Even though it hurts to be without him (When you go I'll let you be, but you're killing everything in me.) Jim asks for his wife to give him something to keep in mind when he's away, to remind him of her. (Get down on your knees, whisper what I need, something pretty) He then tells her that he'll stay with her til they're old together (I feel that when I'm old, I'll look at you and know, the world was beautiful) I think the song then jumps to Jim on tour, and he's missing his wife. He's drained after a show and he can't stop thinking about back home (I'm done, theres nothing left to show, I try but can't let go) He questions whether he could live without playing music, and touring as a result (Are you happy where you're standing still) And concludes that he would be lying to himself if he said he could, even though he could stay at home (Do you really want the sugar pill?) The tour has to carry on, and though he misses his wife, he has to keep going. (I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start, tonight it feels so hard) And as he keeps travelling, Jim keeps in mind how his wife loves him (As the train approaches Gare du Nord, I'm sure your kiss remains employed) And questions how real the situation is, either if he is really putting himself through this, or if his wife really loves him. (Am I only dreaming?) Anyway, thats my long guess at whats going on here, sorry for taking up so much room. |

| Finch – Brother Bleed Brother (Album Version) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| In an interview, Nate says " It's about an incident with somebody who was not too happy with me. I thought it was so ugly that a human being would get so mad at another for something so small they'd want to hurt you over it. That's just not how I think and that song pays homage to respectable humanism; you are supposed to love your enemies and never take arms against your brothers. Human beings are brothers and sisters and violence and aggression is never the answer between two people." | |
| Finch – Insomniatic Meat Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I read an interview with Nate where he says "I tend not to sleep too well and stay up thinking about ugly stuff a lot of the time. This is me telling myself off for not getting to sleep, thinking about the worse things I've done and stressing about things." So where he's screaming "This is the worst thing you have ever done..." |

i know the date rape theme, but what about drug addiction? '..Show you places you won't ever wanna leave. The strangers candy takes you where you want to be' ?? 'Ride so high..like nothing we've ever felt before'?? I'll have to think more and get back, its an idea i just had. |

| Avenged Sevenfold – Beast and the Harlot Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| aside from the obvious biblical theme, i think its pretty cool how this song sorta reminds me of welcome to the jungle by g'n'r, one of m. shadows's favourite bands. | |
