| Jets to Brazil – Cat Heaven Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| There's something in nearly every JTB song that will totally break your heart..."It's time for everything to be perfect, for everything to stop hurting tonight." Everyone can relate to pain...there's almost always something that's just killing you, even if it's not that obvious, and Blake has a way of exposing it and shoving it in your face. | |
| Jets to Brazil – Psalm Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This is such a great song. For some reason, it reminds me of my ex. Blake writes some crazy lyrics, some of my favorites. It's all so sad, though..."If it's sad, you know it's true." That's such a depressing line to me. Does anybody know what he's been doing since JTB? | |

| Say Anything – A Walk Through Hell Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This was a while ago, but matt on said that Max wrote this song for his mom... "With your new head, and your legs spread like a filthy magazine." I'm not saying that matt's wrong by any means, but doesn't that strike anyone else as...well...really fucking weird? Wafflepants is absolutely correct, Max Bemis is god. Except for when he did Most Beautiful Plague...it's the only SA song I've ever heard that I don't like. |

| Jets to Brazil – Sea Anemone Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I'm thinking more that it's a chronicle of despair, immediately following a breakup. He's sad, sitting around looking at all thing things that remind him of her and thinking of all the things he could never be. So he contemplates suicide, and realizes just how sad he is. Then, he realizes that things are the way they are, period. So he kind of picks himself up and tries to begin again. | |
| Sparta – Glasshouse Tarot Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I can't explain why, but this is one of my all-time favorite songs. I'm not even a big Sparta fan, but this song just kills me. I'm with most of you guys...it's pretty much an elegy. | |
| Cassino – The Gin War Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Northstar was my favorite band ever in the history of bands, I don't think I'll ever find an album better than Pollyanna. Lucky for me (and so many others), it looks like Cassino (is it pronounced like Casino, or is the "a" pronounced like in "cat?") is shaping up to be almost as good. But then...how could it not be if Nick Torres is there? I haven't really looked into it much, and Nick's lyrics are hard to break down in the first place, but at a glance I kind of feel like he's setting himself up for a one-night stand, and he's kind of miserable about it. Upset with himself, really. I'm sure I'm way off. |

| Cassino – Platano Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
It does kind of seem like it's about struggle. Everything you could have been Has been rebuilt with gauze and tin What I want is just to get on Never get off Never move on I think that he is kind of expressing a yearning for something simple. He wants to be content in the imperfections of everything around him that he is now acknowledging. |

| Cassino – American Low Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song seems like it could be a few things all in one awesome tune...It seems to me like it's a comment on poverty in the city, living a poor life and how everything just seems so pointless, right down to simple things, like the poshest scarf on the warmest day. But through it all, he's still trying to make it with the girl. | |
| Coheed and Cambria – 21:13 Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Alright, so strange brew is definitely wrong about a lot of that, being that Coheed killed Josephine himself...but his comment was posted a long time ago, so he/she can be excused. The simple fact of the matter is that few, if any, of Coheed's songs can be interpreted in the normal way, because of the fact that it's all one giant story. The lyrics are really hard to understand unless you're following along with the story...I read the first two comics (I have yet to purchase the graphic novel), and it honestly helped me to understand so many of the lyrics, it's insane. | |
| Northstar – Like A.M. Radio Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think that this song is a comment on the misery that comes with drug use. There's fake gold melting in my hands Took it and lost some of my friends You are bound to be abandoned by frustrated friends as you sink deeper into addiction...note that he also acknowledges here that drugs aren't really as great as they seem...they're fake gold, not real. There's God...there's me There's Saturn...there is me Forget everything in between This seems to me like he's saying that because of drugs, he's closer to Saturn than he is to God. Drugs take him away from God, as they do everyone. |
