| Elliott Smith – Riot Coming Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Okey I know the lyrics of this song have never been printed, but I'm sure the first line is "In Storyville, I fucked a cop". Storyville being this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storyville I dunno what he means by that first line but I'd never try and figure it out, Elliott's lyrics were too amazing for that. I prefer to see them from a personal point of view. Like I hear the chorus as... "There's a riot coming, like a drug in the water. A BUNCH in the stomach makes sons into daughters" I feel like he may be talking about those prescription pills, taking a bunch of them in his stomach. But that's more a personal thing, I know what addiciton to painkillers can do. I guess the thought of it "making sons into daughters" is kinda scary, some prescription pills can cause impotence O_O |

I don't think it really matters when or where this song is set or whatever.... that's not what the band are really trying to get across I don't think. It's more like.... they're stressing how soldiers are merely puppets of the government, doing their bidding, fighting for a cause they don't even understand and killing people they don't even know all for the sake of getting home alive. The last verse is amazing.... "We'll walk the city lonely, memories that are not passing by. A murderer walks your streets tonight. Forgive me for my crimes. Don't forget that I was so young, but so scared. In the name of God and Country." The way I see it, that verse is after the war. The soldier is home, he killed his way home. He's scarred for life, broken - "memories that are not passing by". He's abandoned, disowned, seen as a murderer. He begs for forgiveness, he knows he was misguided and didn't understand what he was doing.... he did it out of fear, out of a fear that to turn away would be to go against God and country. Holy shit.... that verse gives me chills every time. And Shadows' vocals in this song are just amazing.... his singing perfectly matches the state of mind of the soldier throughout. So powerful and energetic when singing "The fighting rages on and on, to challenge me you must be strong", and so drained at the end for the last verse, he almost sounds like he's about to burst into tears. Soooo amazing. Greatest singer I've ever heard. |

Ack.... this song is just too amazing for words. I bloody love this song. It IS my life right now. Every day I walk home from school listening to this song (over and over again.... Fall Out Boy never get old)to unwind from another day of seeing THE girl walk past me in the corridors like I don't even exist. And yeah, I always feel a helluva lot better after listening to this positively fucking evil song. It is absolutely amazing. My favourite song at the moment, if not ever. "To my favourite liar, to my favourite scar: 'I could have died with you'" I could have.... maybe.... but now it's fucked up and it hurts me like I've never been hurt before. "On the drive home, joke about the kid you used to see, and his jealousy" Replace the word "jealousy" with "insecurity", and that's me. She just made it worse. "Breaking hearts has never looked so cool as when you wrap your car around a tree, your make-up looks so great next to his teeth" Wow.... before I read other peoples' interpretations on here, I thought this was just the most evil line of them all.... but now it's got a whole new meaning for me. "Your make-up looks so great next to his teeth". He gets dumped coz she wants to be with a guy who gets noticed, a guy she looks good withand who looks good with her. It's all about appearances to her. She's just fucking superficial. Just like the girl I'm applying this song to. Gah.... I love this song even more now! THANX FALL OUT BOY!!!! XD |

This is my anthem right now.... it pretty much sums me up. "I confess, I messed up, dropping "I'm sorry" like you're still around" I fucked up.... and I can keep apologising forever but it's not gonna make a difference. "And I know you dressed up "hey kid, you'll never live this down"" She tried to let me down slowly, without hurting me too much. She knew I fucked up as well as I did, but she didn't want to tell me that I'd never live it down, so she sugar-coated it. Dressed it up. "You're just the girl all the boys wanna dance with, and I'm just the boy who's had too many chances" She's so popular, the Girl All The Straight Guys Want, absolutely beautiful, and I'm just a nobody, a fuckup, wasted every chance I've ever had.... and wasted the chance I had with her. "Write me off, give up on me, 'cause darling what did you expect? I'm just off a lost cause, a long shot, don't even take this bet" Speaks for itself.... it's how I feel right now. Oh how badly I fucked up =( |
