Northstar – My Ricochet Lyrics 14 years ago
I thought it was "This is why I still sleep in the air
My armor plated car
That crashed straight into your thighs

You threw up my best gift"

I think it's a condom...

Northstar – Rigged And Ready Lyrics 14 years ago
Totally agree with the heroin interpretations. Everything points in that way.

"Birth marked my arms in vain out my mouth and down the drain
Shooting bullets through my blood, the bullets barely missed my brain
And fly for five days around my bedroom in a haze
And then I'll crash straight in the ground
I wish I was never ever here..."

black tar heroin leaves veins stained. getting high and flying around the room. Then crashing... could you get more literal? I don't know what's buried here - repressed memories come up at the least convenient times.

Funny that the immature people who read this board marked those interpretations down. What are you... five? There's absolutely nothing wrong with someone else's beliefs.

No matter what they mean, they're beautiful lines.

Alkaline Trio – Those Lungs Lyrics 15 years ago
Hey guys,

I think this song means something completely different. I think it's the disconnect between your autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the other part of your brain that is reserved for thinking and dreaming, when you're wasted out of your gourd . Check it out:


Now I lay me down to pass out wasted again
Guess that makes this the seventh time this week
And theres some words in my head that could keep me from dying
Are you handling this any better than I am
If I keep it together will you promise to keep us together
--I believe that this part is about the disconnect. This is all from the brains perspective. If I can keep my thoughts in order... ANS, can you keep running everything you need to, so that we can keep living?

Oh sometimes we lose each other
But please don't lose your tongue
-- disconnect
When I get home Ill keep you up for hours
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs
--When we get home from drinking or wake up from passing out, I'm gonna need breath to stay alive. Keep you up for hours is the puking and general hang over.
And when you're finally able to fall asleep though the sun might disagree (I like this line because the sun says you should rise and shine, but you don't want to)
I'm gonna lay right there and watch you breathe til you wake up to me
--When we can finally stop heaving and feeling crappy, The body will sleep and the ANS will rest, but the brain will wait for it to wake up to play again.
Hows it happened that I get to have you for so long
And then you're just ripped away from me as I get tossed out to the sea
--sea = the drink
to fight the sharks I'll be waiting for a (wind swell?)
Oh I'm kind of like a sailor back in 1942
Yeah I wanna fight the good fight, but goddamn I'm gonna miss you
--The good fight might be drinking to forget.

Alkaline Trio – Dine, Dine My Darling Lyrics 16 years ago
CRAP, I posted pretty much the same.

If a mod could erase that and replace it with this:

Don't leave me alone,
I'm waiting for this to be,
The last thing that I see.
Well if I tried real good,
Then I probably could get a couple more days.
But the drugs are lame,
So I'm looking for you to be,
The very last thing I see,
Before I up and fly away.
I'm counting on you to help push me through
With something good to remember on my red letter day

Don't worry,
I only feel the good things.

So let's dine, dine, dine my darling
Let's have our last supper, a toast to lovers and we'll dance real sweet and slow.
And then kiss, kiss, kiss to the last clock tick
A final exhale when I'm done and you can keep my last breath floating in your lungs.

Yeah I tried a lot of things because of you,
You make me tell the truth,
You taught me to drink like a man.
You rescued my tail from between my legs,
Now if I can think it I am.
And I'm taking these words with me when I go over to the other side.
I'll be waiting on you but don't show up too soon
I'll be bored as heaven but I'll be alright.

Let's dine, dine, dine my darling
Let's have our last supper, a toast to lovers and we'll dance real sweet and slow.
And then kiss, kiss, kiss to the last clock tick
A final exhale when I'm done and you can keep my last breath floating in your lungs.
Floating in your lungs.

So let's dine, dine, dine my darling.
Let's have our last supper, a toast to lovers and we'll dance real sweet and slow.
And then kiss, kiss, kiss to the last clock tick
A final exhale when I'm done and you can keep my last breath floating in your lungs.

hopefully that's perfect

Lyrics are totally bonked... did this guy or girl even listen to it?

Don't leave me alone,
I'm waiting for this to be,
The last thing that I say.
Well if the drugs were good,
Then I probably could get a couple more days.
But the drugs are lame,
So I'm looking for you to be,
The very last thing I see,
Before I up and fly away.
I'm counting on you to help push me through
With something good to remember on my red letter days

Don't worry,
I only feel the good things.

So let's dine, dine, dine my darling
Let's have our last supper, a toast to lovers and we'll dance real sweet and slow.

Matt Skiba – The City That Day Lyrics 17 years ago
So the first few times I listened to this song, I agreed with you guys. It was how matt skiba got rejected. Then, after I read the lyrics, he wasn't really rejected.

I thought she was holding a coat for her and her boyfriend. Nope. She was holding a coat for a homeless man. "My whole life I've lived on the street". Also associated with drinking, homeless guy wanted a drink.

Everclear – Fire Maple Song Lyrics 19 years ago
I just got this line
"Listen to your grandma sing those country songs
She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years
We'd lay in the grass all summer just to watch the autumn"

I think it's awesome to hear Art sound like this. Any more songs like it?

Bleeding Through – For Love And Failing Lyrics 20 years ago
Gotta say it. I've had this album for a while now oops. But wow the power of the line
"Without trying i would never fail and i fell in love with failure" That's pretty sick. I fell in love with trying. inderectly. I don't know what the rest of the song means but I believe it's about the struggle to find the right person. Everyone lies.~house
