| The Aquabats – The Wild Sea Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| At first glance, "The Wild Sea" is just another silly song, but if you take the time, you may find it to be a truly timeless epic.\n\n"The Wild Sea" represents the infinite vastness of possibility in life.\nAt times, it can seem like you\'re going nowhere, but with some planning, intuition, and a little luck, you\'ll discover riches in experience that have no match. ["If you want adventure, it\'s the place to be"]\n\nThe voyage isn\'t simply one perfect day after another, though. There will be challenges, and many of them will be uncomfortably intimidating. From teachers, bosses, and bullies -- some will be worse than others. ["The sea wolves and the giant squids.."]\n\nBut, no challenge is too great to keep you from being successful or following your dreams. The thought of the unknown can be exciting for the man\'s man.\n[.. on a quest to find hidden treasure and mystery on The Wild Sea]\n\nOn the shoreline, where the weather is perfect and beautiful, most decide to stay and enjoy. They\'re content with where they are, feeling safe and secure with the life they\'re used to. But, YOU\'VE decided to leave all that behind in the past. ["the Sun, she\'s shining on everyone, but we\'ll set sail and we\'ll be gone"]\n\nYou\'ll never turn back, and will continue your journey towards your goals. The future in front of you is bright, and your vision for anything else is practically blinded by faith; no matter what, you keep on. And into the vast, infinite unknown, you follow your heart, never, ever looking back. ["Sailing on and on and on, into the ocean, into the sun."]\n\nAll you have and need is your resolve, your courage, and the knowledge and experience passed onto you. ["My boat, a Viking, My Dad, and Me, on The Wild Sea"]\n\nThrough it all, the mountain of challenges prove difficult, but you never quit. The people you encounter in life may hide inside the boat\'s galley, losing faith and becoming overwhelmed, not being able to pick themselves up. Through the toughest of times, everyone else who doesn\'t drown ends up jumping -- "Abandon ship!" ["We\'re taking on water in the dead dog\'s galley, a man overboard everyday."]\n\n[Intensifies]\n\nFurthermore, unfortunately, there are selfish people in this world who do whatever it takes to get ahead, even if it means hurting others in trying to gain.\nThere will be times when you get down, and you\'ll feel like all hope is lost. But even at the darkest of times, certain women will come along and lift your spirits, helping to free you from despair. Even when those women leave, you\'ll continue pursuing your passion, no matter what may lie ahead. You have the choice of drowning in your sorrows and failures, eternally at odds with the past, but you also have the choice to continue on your exhilarating journey.\n\n["captured by some pirates in the isle of donuts, rescued by some maidens who then ran away. And here\'s where we\'ll be -- we\'ll never know what we\'ll see. We can battle ghosts on the bottom of the ocean, or ride the waves of The Wild Sea."]\n\nChorus repeats. You choose dreams over sameness, over the over-contentedness as everyone else. All you really need is your resolve, courage, and your male instinct -- not looking back ever.\n\nA few examples of different experiences and interactions are given..\n- There\'s the discovery of the mythical clitoris [pinoche = woman\'s privates].\n- The times when there were women afar that seemed within reach, but they were always elusive ["mysterious island of bigfoot women"]\n- Helping a depressed friend who\'s unable to escape his own hell ["The Sea-Ghost in the Isle of Dread"]\n- More self-centered people on their own journey, practically inhuman with the way they use and destroy others as their primary means to get ahead ["pirates on the sea -- pirates that no man can name"]\n\nMeeting and helping those in need -- groups of people oppressed and in poverty ["the underwater bison family] "Underwater Bison," though a stretch, may refer to the bisons slaughtered across N. America during the colonization, and those that survived may have needed to retreat to a place where they feel unable to breathe (underwater). Definitely a stretch, but it\'s something to me.\n\nThrough it all, your heart must be followed towards your passion -- your destiny. There will be times in life when the seemingly perfect woman leads you astray, but you must stay your course. As a man, know your purpose. Seek to fulfill that very purpose. Give your gift to the world.. However, if you decide to follow that beautiful voice, your boat (resolve) may crash into the rocks, and no woman is truly happy a man without resolve or passion. If you falter, you will end up with nothing.\n["That\'s the voice of the Sirens, calling from the sea. Quick! Put some cloth in your ears! Don\'t steer towards the island!"]\n\nPerhaps your woman has decided to support you, ride or die, but the future awaits, and your purpose beckons. The work will never be done. You will continue along your journey for as long as you\'re alive, loving life and learning along the way. There is no path, for the future is untamed. You can make preparation. You can trust your intuition. Whatever it is, give your gift, and do it your own way.\n\nAll you need is your resolve, your courage, and you. | |

lol, i thought this was a halo song also, lol...i still do. I'm *pretty sure* that this song isn't actually how im interpreting it, but i really like this song because it's about the end of the world, kinda from a christian viewpoint. like, we bathe in our blood, could mean Christ's blood strengthening us. We've reached the covenant, could mean that God' promise (in the book of Revelations) for the end of the world is near. Promise me you won't leave my side, could be trusting in Jesus Christ. the meaning of the outro eludes me, but oh well. also, no salvations, is kinda obvious. neways, that's just my two cents! |

| Fall Out Boy – Sugar, We're Goin Down Lyrics | 19 years ago |

(^^^ I disagree totally, but wtvr.) This is, I think, the most ENTERTAINING forum EVER! First there's big arguments about whether or not it's "gun complex" or "God complex," and i won't lie and say i read them all, but i skipped a lot, into something about Pearl Jam being the best rock band ever, and then some weirdo came up saying Green Day was better (IQ 46? Anybody agree?) and then about how much Fall Out Boy sucks (i personally disagree, but wtvr,) and then everybody has the same opinion about what this song is about, with the exception of X Disasterpiece X who is the funniest person on this forum, and he gets major props, and ya, this is pretty funny. I'm not joking when i say what i TRULY say this song is about. I honestly think that this song is about falling in love with a prostitute on the streets, but she's not into the "love" thing, so she just uses him for his money, the returning costumer, and that's all i have to say about that. |

Well ya, i can't exactly relate to this song, cuz I guess i'm just lucky like that, but i think it goes a little deeper than most people think this song goes, but it's just MY twe cents, and yours is worth just as much as mine, i'm no expert. First of all, I don't think that it's as sexual or as..."desperate" as most of the opinions think, (desperate being a serious lack of vocabulary.) you know how when you're in love with someone, they're all that you really can see or care about, or kinda like you're high? I think that that's where "you've got this new head filled up with smoke" means, and by "new head" I think he means he just met her...Idk. I also think that the first verse sets the stage for the whole song when he says that her weakness is her being way better than he is, kinda like the antagonist in the plot if you will...It'll make sense, I promise (if it doesn't already). In the pre-chorus, he says "we lay together, just not too close" is only on account of her, also backing up what adam just said in verse 1, but he would get as close as he could in the relationship (marriage?) if only she would let him. Also, in the background you hear the question "how close is close enough?" kinda like he's pushing the boundries to maybe sex. I think he means close as in the general relationship and the physical relationship. As for the chrous, I think that he means that he understands that in the relationship, he's bringing her down, and they both know that he's the worst thing for her, and she could be spending time on more worthwile things, more worthwhile guys, and he understands that, but he's asking her to stay with him by telling her that "I just wanna bring you down so badly" and "in the worst way"...with him. In the second verse, he says "my inarticulate store bought hangover hobby kit" which in my opinion, equals alcohol. I say this because isn't a hobby something you do on your own free time? So a hobby kit that you buy from a store that gives you hangovers = alcohol in my mind. Maybe he's an alcoholic in the story, idk. As for "you hollow out my hungry eyes" I think that it means that she's teasing him (not sexually, guys, lol) but by still staying with him, kinda like she feels sorry for him, and I think that that part is pretty important as they repeat it, and tbs doesn't repeat things because they're just bored or because it sounds cool. Now I don't have to repeat the pre-chorus and the chorus, and on to the interlude. When he says "i'm gonna make damn sure that you can't ever leave. No, you won't ever get too far from me, you won't ever get too far from me," I'm pretty sure that he means that he's going to do all he can to make himself a better person, just so she'll have a reason to stay with him, and I guess that would even mean giving up alcohol. Well, anyways, that's just my two cents, and mine aren't any beter than your guys' opinions, and as for the alcohol thing, I never premeditated that and I just thought of that as I was writing this, lol. If you've read all this, thanks for caring so much about this song. I love it, and I swear; I've listened to this song 70+ I'm sure of it. It even says so in my iTunes, lol, and that's not even including when I listen to my ipod, lol :) |

Actually, props to stein269 and bad to myself, i just now read all the comments cuz i was too lazy before :P and so ya, i vouch for him, except for the blue=depression, i still stick with my Code Blue Analogy, and I still really love the Religious Idea, as I'm religious as well, but i don't think that that's how TBS meant it, but again, props to Stein269, "art is meant to be interperetted the way the viewer/listener wants to not how the artist meant it to be.

ok guys, i don't exactly agree with hplssrmantcxox, but it's all good, i still respect your ideas and stuff. As for geoffk, i think you're an awesome dude, and you just might have me converted, but ya, i was actually surpised that no one thought the same thing as i did, and my friend thought the exact same thing, so i thought it might be a little more popular opinion, but oh well, lol. I personally think that overall, the song is just about a couple where the girl is the "antagonist" in the relationship, and the guy want to keep her but he doesn't, and he's confused, but there's hope... Ok, now the citation to back me up...In the first verse, with the two sides colliding, i agree with hplssrmantcxox as to that is how they meet, but in my opinion, "you're calling off the guards" means that she's letting him into this relationship though being careful, because of bad relationships in the past, but she thinks that she really likes the guy. (she doesn't realize that all the problems in the relationships in the past was her own fault, however.) ok, and then "adultress" means woman and "conditioned to a spin cycled submission" means that she's just used to being tossed around and listening to what the guy says, or what he wants...sex? Ok, then in the chorus, (i think that this is later on in the relationship, when the girl cheats on the guy a couple times,) by being all too familiar and things happening all the time is that she keeps cheating on him, but by all the cards stacking up, he means that she's just sooo good to him (apart from cheating on him) that it just seems ok when he's right with her. Ok, and then in the dull heat rising from the sheets and being a patient boy and a jealous man is well, the body heat from his own bed from his girlfriend and another guy, and he's jealous, but he loves her so much, and i guess the love keeps him patient about it, allowing him to stand the pain maybe? I think that this is where the next part makes sence to me (and is my favorite part in this whole song,) but if you've ever worked or volunteered at a hospital, one of the things that they might've taught you is CPR, and "Code Blue" means that someone in the hospital is having a heart attack, heart failure, fibrilation, or whatever else. Well, i really don't think that this is a coincidence, considering that this is, after all, Taking Back Sunday, but i think that by "double standardized suspicion" is somehitng that's for sure and double checked (her cheating on him), and it is remedied (fixed, healed, ok) because she is his "Blue Heaven" which to him is everlasting paradise, but blue in the fact that she kills his heart all the time, but it's ok, because you know, sometimes it just feels better to give in. Something however, is telling him that she's going to mature and this pain will all be over, and so the voice in his head is just telling him to put up with it, cuz it'll be all ok. And as for the Outro, i think that after he's told that she'll mature, and stop the nonsence, he hates the pain so much that he wants her to mature as quickly as she can, because he's sure that she will eventually... And She Does. Ok, well, maybe she doesn't, we don't know that, but i think that that is the story. That's much two cents, which is worth just as much as yours. Thanks for Listening. (or Reading, whatever, thanks for your time.) |
