Jimmy Eat World – Kill Lyrics 18 years ago
General Overview:
A guy loves a girl, but he never said it.
Now it seems to be too late.

"Funny how I'm nervous still"
A guy has waited for what seems to him to be an eternity to tell a girl he loves her

"You're just across the street
Looks a mile to my feet
I want to go to you
Funny how I'm nervous still"
now, as the moment approaches, he can't seem to work up the nerve

"Could it be that everything goes around by chance
Or only one way that it was always meant to be"
He wonders if they are, or were ever, meant to be

"I know what I should do but I just can't walk away"
Now his time of opportunity has come and gone, but he just can't stop himself, he desperately wants to tell her how he feels

"
I can picture your face well
From the bar in my hotel
I wish I'd go to you
I pick up, put down the phone"
He still can't work up the nerve

"Oh God, please don't tell me this has been in vain
I need answers for what all the waiting I've done means"
He has waited until the perfect moment, and now it's come, and gone, but he can't just leave it alone

"So go on, love
Leave while there's still hope for escape
Got to take what you can these days
There's so much ahead"
He cares about her, but knows she needs to go

HERE'S WHERE I'M UNSURE

"I know what you want to say"
i think she's about to say they never would have worked anyway

"I know it but can't help feeling differently
I loved you
And I should have said it"
but he thinks that if only he'd told her, it could have

"You kill me
You build me up but just to watch me break
he feels disappointed, and a little lead on"

"I can't help it baby
This is who I am
Sorry but I can't just go turn off how I feel"
He knows he should let her, and this, and his love go, but he just can't , especially not after such a long time waiting

"I've always been the easy kill
I guess I always will"
He doesn't think he'll ever get over it

Franz Ferdinand – Auf Achse Lyrics 18 years ago
as we get started...a few points

1. It's not about Christ
2. It's not about Mary Magdalene

Explanation for point 1.
"Knowing never will I rise
Again"
Christ did rise again...and he knew he was going to do it too

Explanation for point 2.
"How you'd never realise
That I'm ripped and hang forsaken"
M.M. knew Christ was being wrongfully persecuted

Conclusion...
the song is not being literal...isn't that a thought?!
....
Franz does love their similies and metaphors...this is one example.
...
"You see her
You can't touch her
You hear her
You can't hold her
You want her
You can't have her
You want to
But she won't let you"
the guy wants a girl, a girl that flaunts herself publicly, but who will never let him even have a chance

"So look what you've done boy"
the guy then alters himself for her

"She's not so special"
then he regrets this change, he tries to convince himself she's nothing, but to no avail, and he continues pining away

"It's with your sins
that you have killed me
Thinking of your sins I die
Thinking how you'd let them touch you
How you'd never realise
That I'm ripped and hang forsaken"
he believes his self alteration was for her betterment, and is awkwardly bitter that she doesn't acknowledge his sacrafice

Relient K – Failure To Excommunicate Lyrics 18 years ago
BrainGents....failure and impossibility have completely different meanings...if the title was changed, the whole tone of the song might as well go with it...there's nothing wrong with complicated diction...personally...i think people should push themselves more

Relient K – Failure To Excommunicate Lyrics 20 years ago
this song is great, and not as fluffy as a lot of relient k stuff. it covers the utter lack of caring in society. yet the song finds promise in God. for as long as the world abandons people, God will find them, and take them in. so no one is ever truely banished.

Relient K – Forward Motion Lyrics 20 years ago
this song is delightful lyrically except for the mild surrendering of lyrical content for rhyming. The song's about how he can't ever seem to get ahead. No matter what he does, he stays where he is. Yet he knows it's his own fault. He knows that if he could just accept the bittersweet aspects of life and continue,he'd be able to make progress, and become who he wants. But he's still struggling with being able to take life as it comes, he keeps trying to avoid the pain. Yet to move forward, he has to accept it all, the good, and the bad.

Relient K – Falling Out Lyrics 20 years ago
i super love this song. He's there looking at all the superficial things he used to find enjoyment in, but that are desperately shallow. From coffee to rock stars, it's not completing him. So he makes a choice, to leave it all behind. He has no doubt. He knows for a fact that it's going to work and that he's making the right decision. And even if the world casts him out, he knows God will always be there for him, always.

Fall Out Boy – Sugar, We're Goin Down Lyrics 20 years ago
A boy has hopelessly fallen for a girl, who he once had "relations" with, but who doesn't care about him at all. He keeps hoping that he can become what she wants, but to no avail. He sees her with other guys and wishes he could be there, with her. He's jealous. Yet as all this is going on, part of him realizes that it's senseless and crazy. He acts upon this jealousy physically, by pointing a gun at her. This is where the metaphore comes in. "I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it" He decides that the only way he'll ever be her 'number one' is by destroying her, by way of murder. This is the God complex, in which he feels he has the right to take such actions. So you see, the shooting is the physical embodiment of his God complex
