| Right on, such awesome lyrics. So ringing with truth. | |
| Twothirtyeight – Number Four Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is an awesome song, about someone coming back to God after having failed at "taking the reigns" in life. "A love at arms length always, Security for all times I'm glad to have you hear" Couldn't have said it better myself. Such simple, yet awesomely written and true lyrics. A personal favorite. |

| Twothirtyeight – Moving Too Far Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
In the second stanza here, I'm hearing "Creating distance you're the sand in the gears, you are resistance I run inefficiently, You are the reason I am breaking down Yes I am breaking down, and I am breaking down" Listening closely, I think these lyrics are correct, and they seem to make more sense as a whole, as well. Great song, about what ... who knows? |

| Twothirtyeight – Sad Semester Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It seem that the singer doesn't like the way society works at all, it's evident from virtually every song in this album. I happen to love university, but I hated high school, so I know how it is, and I agree with Mr. Staples on alot of these political things. This comment isn't about this song in particular, but about this whole theme, expressed throughout the whole album. Twothirtyeight just had a way of expressing their songs and lyrics in such simple, understandable ways, with just awesome beats to strengthen their music. It sucks that they had to quit, but from the ideas found in this album, I can hazard a guess as to what they were going through when they did. | |
| Twothirtyeight – Forty Hour Increments Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I never had the slightest clue what this song was about until just recently. The forty hour increments represent the typical work week, in which the corporations oppress their minimum-wage employees. Save yourself, or you'll be murdered, and subsequently (of your being murdered) they'll fill your chair, forgetting of your sitting there. They'll replace you without a thought, because we're just tools to them. The last verse is pretty self explanatory with this context in mind. Awesome job twothirtyeight, you'll always be remembered. |

| Twothirtyeight – Rhythm And Blues Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I love the recurring theme of "sad and holy glow" in this album. To me, this whole album paints a picture in which the corporations are the rulers of society, and how we're all slaves to them. The credit issue in "sad and holy glow" and this "not worth what I'm getting paid to make someone above me rich". The sad and holy glow idea, to me, portrays images of the oppressed people in society; oppressed by their minimum wage jobs, or debt, or being a slave to society. Don't forget the "forty hour increments", ie. the typical workweek that can murder you, and when they murder you they'll "fill your chair, forgetting of your sitting there", these people are tools, used by the companies, they don't care about you and will replace you without a thought. And of course, the title of the album: "You Should Be Living". It could relate in any number of ways. Hey! I just thought this all up just now, it all makes sense now! |

| Twothirtyeight – That Sad And Holy Glow Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I say, "whore" is just a word, there's nothing wrong with saying a word. Certainly, nobody is promoting prostitution, especially if you listen to the context Mr. Staples is using the analogy in. Also, John, is it appropriate that God told Hosea, a godly man, to marry Gomer, a prostitute ?? It's interesting, I hear is a song about credit, and it's such a simple subject but it's sung so awesomely with such well-written lyrics. Definately one of my favorites, though I love all my babies... "credit is a whore who won't wake up and leave" -- represents the instant gratification of using credit, but after the fact you've just been digging yourself deeper -- "i don't want to be a slave, I just wanna be free", you're still trapped by the credit. After you've gotten your gratification, the debt is still there, it hasn't woken up and left. "i'm tired of people chasing me" -- people chasing him to get the money the singer owes them. Of course credit could just be a metaphor for something else with similar characteristics, like sin perhaps. |

| Twothirtyeight – Solo Song Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Couple corrections: In the first verse, I'm hearing "departing with a certainty", not "to party with a certainty". (he's leaving) Also, it's "hoping long white lines will bring him promise of a better season". ie. the long white lines painted on a road (he's leaving). Great song. I've felt that way before. |

| Twothirtyeight – The Bathroom Is a Creepy Place for Pictures of Your Friends Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I still don't understand what the singer is getting at. Okay, he's in his bathtub, late at night, and thinking about someone he loves. What's with the 50's tub, and lady remington. I really don't get it at all. | |
