I prefer not to take the bible interpretation routes when I hear Thrice's songs. While I know that is the original intent when Dustin wrote it, the lyrics are generalized enough that one can draw their own metaphors from the lyrics. To me I can see this song being someone being dumped/left in a relationship and being hung up on it. The book contains all of his memories of the relationship with his partner past weighing him down into what he feels like is the darkest depths of the ocean, drowning in the darkness. There is hope at the end, where the sad narrator finds another person who takes the book from him, lays it's heavy weight aside and brings him back in the life, possibly a friend helping him out of his sorrow or a new love in his life for him to embrace the light with. To each his own, I suppose. |

| Kid Cudi – Mr. Rager Lyrics | 15 years ago |

in fairness I'm sure there is a huge deep meaning to all of this that he came up with. What we make of it is for all of us to discover on our own though. What we come up with on our high's are our own thoughts alone. Just like his highs are his thoughts, sure you can try and make sense of it but that's like trying to put yourself in someone else s brain and grasping every bit of concept that oozes from it. It's nothing personal to people trying to interpret the song, as that's the whole purpose of the website, but I think the song has a general meaning (which I took a shot at) and a personal meaning, that I think only Kid Cudi will ever really understand. |

| Kid Cudi – Mr. Rager Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
People look WAY too much into cudi's music. "raging" is just getting intoxicated possible, be it alcohol, pot, cocaine and any combination of the above. By being Mr. Rager, he is effectively -the- king at getting f'ed up. The whole album is about a dark time in his life where he got into a pretty deep addiction to cocaine, again, another form of "raging". The song is dedicated to everyone like him, people that are different, don't fit in with everyone else. The chorus sounds like his fans and people like him calling out to Mr. Rager (cudi), wanting to go with him on his journey to heaven, but he's so f'ed up he can hardly hear his fans calling out to him. It's why the song ends on a rather sad note, and progresses right into "These Worries" where he opens right up to taking a line of coke. He's not doing too well at this point of the album. |

| Kid Cudi – Do It Alone Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| It's about people being different. Kid cudi's music reaches out to a people like him, like myself. The song isn't complex by any means, just deep. It's takes motivation just to get up out of bed and head into a world of people that don't understand us. Into a world we don't fit. | |
| N.E.R.D. – You Know What Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It's about a friends with benefits relationship. A guy and girl who are friends are out one night and get drunk. They end up hooking up and doing the deed. This ends up happening a couple of times. The girl blames it on her being drunk, though the guy thinks it otherwise "You know what you did" The guy has feelings for her but he gets a bit pissed about the whole thing when she just refuses to acknowledge any feelings in the matter, but he likes having sex with this girl so he keeps letting it happen and worries about when it's gonna stop. |

| Coheed and Cambria – The End Complete III: The End Complete Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I feel like this is Ryan's last stand against Claudio. The perspective though, i feel is for the most part neither in Claudio or Ryan's. I feel like the ghosts of the keywork, particularly his family are watching over him, telling him to "dig deeper" to find the strength he needs to defeat Ryan. I feel like THIS song is the climax with everything winding down in the last two songs of the end complete. There is though, i feel a brief moment of the song where the perspective shifts momentarily towards Claudio and Ryan during their battle, and that is the screaming "God, he will not save you, Is Not, he will not save you, Here, he will not save you from this." That whole passage is very loud, i feel a lot of anger/tension coming from it. I feel like it's the pinnacle of the battle they are fighting and words they are exchanging between each other |

this is definitely Claudio attempting suicide after the events taken place during The Running Free and The Hound. I kinda see Claudio looking at the gun examining it contemplating his suicide when ghosts or spirits of the dead begin talking to him, particularly those of his family and possibly even Ambellina, but i doubt the latter. They are telling him to man up and to fulfill his destiny. My other theory would be that this is the writer going into the story once more to give him a little "pep talk" to ensure his character is fulfilling his desired role. |

I agree with conork on this one. Sounds like Sizer and Chase have both been captured already and either wilhelm or mayo is making a statement now to claudio and any/all of his followers and uses Sizer and Chase as an example. Public execution or something of the sort perhaps? "You've come so far from innocence, provided all the consequence" Sounds like a description of Claudio's becoming the crowing if you ask me. It also fits in considering the next song on the album is Mother Superior, where claudio is contemplating suicide, Wilhelm's demonstration and killing sizer and chase seems like it could trigger claudio's desire to end his own life at this point of the story. |

| Thrice – Lost Continent Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I see a double meaning to it. I see DubbaEwwTeeEff's perspective as a more metaphorical one hidden within the lyrics he already pried out. Theres clearly a reference to Atlantis in this as well. Dustin quotes in for the water album: "The Water sonnet deals with man’s pride, and the futility and idiocy of that pride, come face to face with the power of the sea.” The story of the people of Atlantis was that, and i'm bound to be wrong because I did not study this in depth, that they were, or at least they claimed themselves to be masters of the sea, and in the end their continent was swallowed by the ocean. Put into context with the water sonnet, it's safe to say the people of Atlantis faced the idiocy of their pride |

@ Stickbugg I wasn't putting past songs into consideration, the style of the author or any of that into my analysis. I just took the lyrics how they are and how they come off in the song. Song sounded a bit condemning to me combined with the lyrics. As i stated, I am probably way off on my interpretation and I don't mind that. If I am to put the style that Dustin usually writes in, yes it's probably a lot more biblical and spiritual. I just took a simple meaning out of it I thought might actually make some sense. |

0_o well it's not quite the star interpretation, it's just sort of what I thought up it as. I'll go into more detail seeing as I've drawn a bit of attention The Flame Deluge is the Fire Sonnet, and Dustin is quoted to saying “The Fire sonnet deals with fire being resentful and ashamed of the way that it’s been used in destruction and war". Also, to end off it's safe to assume the sonnets at the end of each part of the album are a decent reflection as to what that entire section of the album reflects, the fire sonnet obviously reflecting upon the fire section Now, rewind back to the messenger knowing this fact. "Mark me with fear and trembling" How would you react seeing a B-2 Bomber flying over you dropping payloads "I know my world is ending, I can't repay my debt." Bombs go kaboom when they land, naturally the bombs "life ends" "How can i carry such a heavy burden How can i move when I am paralyzed" Bombs cannot move, they are built with the fate that they will be dropped, and they will be destroying someone or something, thus their burden I could go on but you are all intelligent enough I assume to put the rest together yourselves. I highly doubt I'm correct in my interpretation, but at least know there WAS a little sense to it >.> |

I think the meaning of the song is much more simple then all the religious meanings, while it is clear though that they are speckled throughout the song. I simply think that the song is condemning people who smoke. "Tell me are you free" is simply asking why are you doing this? does smoking give you some sort of a sense of freedom? and how "Bullets lance the bravest lungs" and towards the end, he says "The flames will rise and devour me, to breath in fire and know i'm free." The only freedom granted from smoking comes in the end, where it devours, and kills you. Then and only then are you free. I'm probably way off on this interpretation though. |

I have a very simple meaning to this whole song. The Flame Deluge is the Fire Sonnet, which thrice sings in the place of fire. They describe how Fire feels as if it's being missused in the ways of war, explosions and killing. If you pay attention to the entire song itself, picture a bomb in an airplane before it's release to hit it's designated target, and if it were to sing. The lyrics to this song is what the bomb would be saying... if any of this made sense |

| The Academy Is... – Unexpected Places Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Have you ever passed up an amazing event? Made the stupidest mistake ever? Want to go back in time and fix what you've done wrong? I think this is what this is about. That one choice we made that we just always want to go back and fix. It also talks about how we are judged by the choices we've made as well. Someone decides to drive after getting drunk, great person, great athlete, well liked, and he/she gets busted and the rest of their life is ruined, all because of that one choice. Our life is ruled by these choices "We always have been caged by the choices that we made." | |

Okay, stop analyzing. There's a video on it. The singer is NOT the groom. He is a manipulator of the entire thing breaking up the marriage to show the groom that his wife is a whore. |
