Everclear – Hater Lyrics 19 years ago
A radio station I listen to described it as "a letter Art wrote to his ex-wife." Hm, that seems about right...

Everclear – Clean Lyrics 19 years ago
Everclear has been one of my favorite bands ever since I can remember. I still prefer early Everclear (first 3 albums), but I love the way they've matured over the years. The way Art puts himself out there on every album just makes you feel like you know him and can relate to him. He's what keeps me coming back for more.. even though I do miss Craig and Greg on the new album.

Anyway, this song is definitly one of my favorites on 'Welcome to the Drama Club.' I'd have to say it's about Annabella. Art doesn't want to see her go through all the things that he went through, and if he could save her from knowing pain, he would (like any parent). He wants her to stay a happy, carefree kid. He wants her to be "clean," and to not grow up knowing the hardtimes of life.

I can't help but think of my (much) younger siblings when I hear this song. I would do so much to save them from pain. I would never want them to "know my disease" or the bad things I've gone through. I want them to be clean.
