| Pinback – Soaked Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think the addiction thread of interpretation is most probable. The outro and last four lines are kind of heartbreaking in my opinion. The bass slides in the background seem to heighten the sense of loss or losing that comes with someone taking them all (presumably pills) and doing it alone, or without the singer. This taker chose the form of their fall and did it without whoever it is that cared enough to sing this song, and it sounds like sad regret that he couldn't be there when it went down, also presumably to stop it from happening perhaps. | |
| Rob Crow – Never Alone Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Um....I may or may have been listening to this song on repeat for the last three hours while working on a project. I'm pretty sure the first line is: And I know that if some bitch should come tear us apart As for this being one of the greatest boy band parody in the world I would like to say that it is. I laughed when I first heard it because it was so surprising, but then I kept laughing because it's so perfect. It's almost like he's saying "Hey, one dude recording in his living room can make mass-produced -pleasing garbage, and do it better than all the producers and boys wearing glitter and embroidered jeans." Or something like that |

I'm pretty sure that the line: A bomb adhered to memories should read: The Gunga Din of memories. |

| Rogue Wave – Are You on My Side Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The outro of this song was the hook for me. I couldn't stop listening, HAVEN'T stopped listening, to Rogue Wave since the first time I heard it five months ago! I felt a kinship present between the composition style of RW and Pinback, another favorite, in this song particularly. They are by no means overtly similar bands but they are so unique and sometimes just downright mindblowingly novel that you just have to listen over and over because it's so ingenious and even strange at times that I don't think someone could really understand/access this amazing band without putting a lot of listening time in. Woots plural. |

Official Lyrics from RW website: i fell too soon from a hot-air balloon and I don't know what it teaches it's the moment of my weakness i've had enough of your sermonized speeches it's the food that I wanted out on the evening 6 months ahead with styrofoam deepness of a medicine ball a trappist monk shares his spritual secrets cornered the market on her English El Diablo put syringes on the beaches sucked the juice out of its sweetness out on the evening 6 months ahead with styrofoam deepness of a medicine ball |

I saw them perform this song on the Interface. The last two lines before the absolutely amazing outro are as follows: All the same light keeps burning off of everyone All the same lies keep pouting out of everyone |

| Pinback – Penelope Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Ps Pinback does get paid all that big of an "amount" to write their songs, which is why Autumn of the Seraphs is rumored to be the last album. It's also why it took them so long to produce Summer in Abbadon and Nautical Antiques, they are practically broke. Dude, seriously, read an interview or two before you start speaking for the band and insulting the fans who actually know something. | |
| Pinback – Penelope Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is indeed about a goldfish, specifically Rob Crow's goldfish. Though there be concourses of people on this website who hope and pray that this song is about a girl with an alcohol problem or John F Kennedy and Kruschv, it does not change the fact that the words from Rob Crow's very own lips were "This is a song about my goldfish that died." Why does it need to be anymore complicated than that? Sure it's full of all kinds of imagery that is most likely multifaceted in meaning but why insist on attaching terrible emotional or socially sensational meanings to this song. It's like people can't go to sleep at night unless they can lay on their backs in their race car beds covered with their Lost blanket, staring at the Tool poster on the ceiling imagining Rob Crow and Zach Smith having a tearful prayer for their friend, ex-lover, creditor, bank attendant, fan, roadie or what have you named Penelope before they wrote the song. If you're such an emotional person, full of so much mythological imagery maybe you should write a song about some girl that made you so sad that eating pixy-stix and drinking Fresca didn't make you feel better. |

| Pinback – Anti-Hu Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Unfortunately the members of Pinback are the kinds of who don't refer to their female counterparts as "my girl" or "my lady" like those fools Crazy Town. Subsequently I think you will be hard pressed to find many Pinback songs that are as superficial as "a dude all bummed out because his girl went up and left him or moved to Santa Monica to wash cars with Sheryl Crow on the boulevard." The demo version of this song on Arrive Having Eaten is a little faster and, in my opinion, better than the album version on Nautical Antiques. Although I do like the harmonies on the last four lines of the song I really wish they had kept some of the hipish tempo from the Demo version. |

| Pinback – Autumn of the Seraphs Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Where exactly did you get the lyrics for this song? Not that I don't believe these are the words. I am actually quite curious where one finds Pinback lyrics when they're not included in the jacket. Also: I'm sure you're lyrics of "true general woman" is correct, but wouldn't it be cooler if it was Trojan woman, because that's what I always hear. Can you imagine a Trojan woman spitting blood on stuff? What could that possible MEAN! Holy Cow! The possibilities are endless. Also: The line about the monster at the end of the book makes me think of Where the Wild Things Are. I have it on good sources that this song is about being ostracized for liking wizards, dragons and sorcery. When he says he can take the bus to school he actually is saying he can take a mouse to school, because he does experiments on them in the attic where Bastian was reading the Neverending Story. Off script again: When Rob is the Dungeon Master he likes to ad lib and that usually makes Zach and the other guys all furious and stuff. All the other imagery I trust becomes clear in light of this new information. |

| Pinback – Penelope Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Saosin's pseudo Chinese names just makes them pretentious, not bad musicians. Their music makes them bad musicians. Their version was lackluster at best standing alone as an original composition and when compared with the actual original performed by Pinback it pales in comparison and vomits on itself in embarrassment. None of the tight, Enlightenment mathematics of the original, the dynamic composition or classic Pinback timing was captured or represented. Instead it was transformed into feces by a malfunctioning Rick Moranis shrink-ray. Boo to Disney and boo to Saosin's cover or Penelope. | |
| Pinback – Penelope Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| How about Saosin's version totally sucks. Saosin "little heart" literally in Chinese, means be careful. Maybe Saosin (Xiaoxin) should be more careful when they try to remake a song that so much bigger than they are that their only recourse is to poop all over themselves and post an MP3 with a recording of it all happening. Bleh. | |
| Mew – 156 Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I don't know if someone has already said this but in the vidya they don't actually burn down Callie's house. The Cap'n dreams that they go back and raid her house again while he's asleep and burn her house down. Or that they did the first time, but seeing that it was only two of them the first time I think he had a nightmare that they all went back again to thieve (verb form). The first time they went the Cap'n didn't realize it was Callie's house till they were already on the shore. She got out scared but safe but he obviously is in love or obsessed with her and afterwards his guilt and sorrowish thing cause him to throw the booty over the bow and that's why the fellas are so bewildered. | |

| Pinback – Penelope Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Holy cow, that's the greatest thing anybody has ever said. I agree that some of the imagery, like the boat and what not aren't all that easy to place into what Resakins implies is mundane and unoriginal. But don't fish tanks have little divers and treasures at ze botems? A, but af cawrs dey doo. There's a little too much stretching with some of the interpretations for me to tell my friends about it, but like I said: holy cows and leaky udders Batmans, it's a Greek one! | |
| Pinback – Versailles Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is another reference to the WWII game they play, Versailles being a pretty important treaty, the one that ended the war. | |
| Pinback – Messenger Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I am "the" messenger, there em only one. "These" letters that I carry. This song is about espionage, you know being a spy and stuff, like James Bond, Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer, David Bowie. He is trying to get into Rachel's house so he can get that zipdisk he left there. | |
| Pinback – Byzantine Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I hear "We parachute to ground for we fear the empire" and I'm pretty sure I'm not wrong because everybody else usually is. They parachute to ground in to France during WWII because Rob and Armisted like that WWII game 1949 or something, although I don't think WWII was still officially going on in 1949, but the wizards from the respective countries were totally still active at that time. | |
