Alkaline Trio – Warbrain Lyrics 14 years ago
This song has no hidden meaning about war history; it's exactly as the title says. It's about the wars within our heads. The quote at the beginning lays it right out.

Brand New – Play Crack the Sky Lyrics 15 years ago
I don't exactly think this song is about a faltering relationship...I think it's about the general hardships of life and how fate just has a strange way of fucking people over (like love). He describes a ship almost to land and then it sinks, basically implying that anything can happen. The verse that Jesse sings "but the wrong words will strand you, come off course while you sleep, sweep your boat out to sea or dash to bits off the reef" implies that you can control what you do or say, but if what you do is wrong, it can really end up hurting yourself or others. That's what I get from it at least.

The Blood Brothers – Camouflage, Camouflage Lyrics 15 years ago
I definitely think this song is about how fake people and society are. The line "She says give me one good reason not to empty the heart of all its zeros and ones" for sure sold that theory to me.

Brand New – Limousine Lyrics 16 years ago
Oh and Jesse states that the girl on the cover has nothing to do with Katie or the accident. He states in some interveiw on youtube that the band members of brand new went to an art show of a photographer that they all adore and that picture was there, and they thought the picture would be perfect for the album because they felt that it represented the way the album sounded, kind of eerie and dark.

Brand New – Limousine Lyrics 16 years ago
I love this song so much. It's so strong. It's really emotional for me because this story is too much like one that happened with two of my friends; everything is the same except their accident wasn't caused by a drunk driver. This is one of Brand New's greatest songs. I believe the whole '1234567' deal is every number represents how many years the girl lived so jesse felt he could sing that line 7 times to emphasize how little the number is and how many short years she lived.

But I would like to know what the satellite and the oars are supposed to mean? Along with the last verses, I'm just not quite sure what jesse is proposing

Brand New – The Archers Bows Have Broken Lyrics 16 years ago
I really belive this song is about 'praticing what you preach' and standing up for what you belive in, even tough you may be a walking contradiction. I think Jesse is saying indirectly that believers of God and people who preach the bible tend to be hyprocrites, because they try and advocate the difference between what's right and what's wrong when they don't really know the difference themselves. I think Jesse is also trying to imply that people who believe in God are doing so becasue they think it's the right thing to do, not because they actaully want to or try to be a good person. The line 'while you're beating with a book everyone that book tells you to love' really sold that idea to me.

Brand New – Moshi Moshi Lyrics 16 years ago
i love this song. i'm so addicted to it right now. but there's a line in it that reminds me of the band alkaline trio. alk has a song with lyrics that go like " you have to be the cutest grave digger i've ever seen" and then in this song it goes like, " you're the sweetest boat builder i think i have ever seen" i'm just wondering if it's a coincidence or what. it's cool tho.

Alkaline Trio – Bleeder Lyrics 17 years ago
This is my favorite alk song <3 but this song isn't about a realtionship, he's talking about happiness in general, how he did have a it and now it's gone, and how it's left. How hes smoking and drinking in place of it. I mean he basically says that it's about happiness in the line "oh my sweet darling happiness, youve been away from me a along"

Alkaline Trio – Bloodied Up Lyrics 17 years ago
This song is about his faith in God, I think. It fits and makes sense since he doesnt belive there is one. In hell yes he says that he doesnt believe in one becuase 'he' is never there for him, and i think this song describes the same thing in a different way. He's describing the stuggles in his life as getting beat up and with that, there is nothing for him to confide into or anything to be there for him besides friends.
"It's for the better in the bitter end I guess you'd know the best" that line is basically what sold it to me, like people are always saying "life works out in the end, god works in mysterious ways..blah blah blah" and hes just talking about how hes waiting for that better end to come.

Brand New – Jaws Theme Swimming Lyrics 17 years ago
I really think this song is about headstrong teenage years. Epically when it's like 'Cut your finger on the edge 'cause it's sharper than they told you' implying that you don't listen to what people say when they try to warn you.. and

'Take a leap from out the window cause it's way too far to go through the door ' just implies someone rebellious..maybe.

then there's the whole "concrete and water, shes looking for her daughter at midnight in torrential downpour" that sounds like a mother whose really worried to look at her at a late hour in the pouring rain thinking shes up to 'no good'.

'And everything I said about how messed your head is
We're cut up and left in bits and pieces on the ground'
i think this is talking about the mother gaving lectures and shit but it just when through one ear and out the other...

Alkaline Trio – Continental Lyrics 17 years ago
less182jake: that's exactly what i was going to say.
matt said that this album was mostly about his friend that died and practically committed suicide. so i think the song is about how he never really learned from his mistakes
and the bouncing baby boy's now turing baby blue means that he was once so innocent and happy, and now he's dead..

Fear Before – Sarah Goldfarb, Where Are Your Manners? Lyrics 17 years ago
It's obviously about rape and torment and obsession
but I think, that the guy doing the rape is interpreting the muffled cries and vocal struggles as "i love you" because he doesn't want to think that the girl he loves, doesnt love her back.
So he's in denial.
He is making himself think that she wants the rape and the kissing
esp with the last line "I taste her lips and I know she loves me"

and yeah ^^
you can hear the i'm coming up behind you, i just noticed that actually.

Fear Before – Go Wash Your Mouth...I Don't Know Where It's Been Lyrics 17 years ago
this song is amazinggg
the ending goes like ( could be wrong )

she cried when she found it
its feather were matted and pressed to its side
its wings were no longer able
still she begged it to fly
its body's as frail as paper
and wet from her tears
she knelt in the damp grass, prayed it to heaven
gently, pressing its head to her heart
to her heart

its body's as frail as paper
and wet from her tears
she knelt in the damp grass
prayed it to heaven
gently, pressing its head to her heart
to her heart

the sun slips so we dance upon the image nonetheless
the sun slips so we danced nonetheless

it's a great song

i personally think it's about a guy who's obsessed with a girl that he may never have

Alkaline Trio – Trouble Breathing Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is diffiently scarcastic and an anti-suiside song. The verse

"You told me that the daylight burns you and that the sunrise was enough to kill you. I said 'maybe youre a vampire'. Said "It's quite possible i feel truly dead inside"

Well ovbiosuly matts friend is complaining about life and matt sarcasticly goes "well maybe youre a vampire" implying to get over himself, and then his friend goes like "it's quite possible i feel truely dead inside" and matt put that in there becuase ovbiosuly his freind didnt catch his sarcasim.

Alkaline Trio – Cop Lyrics 18 years ago
I think everyone is inturperting this wrong, or I'm just looking to far into this..

But Matt Skiba skateboards and skateboarders usually don't like cops becuase cops tell them to stop whereever theyre skateboarding. I think that this song is about a friend who "turned his back" on matt. He was once his freind and he supported everything matt did, but then something changed and matts friend became a "cop" telling him things that he shouldn't do. Something that matt liked..like skateboarding or whatever else.

Alkaline Trio – I'm Dying Tomorrow Lyrics 19 years ago
I deffiently dont think that this song is about suiside. I think that it's about him wondering ' if this were my last say on earth, would I be content with dying becasue I know that I lived my life how I wanted to live it?" Hence the whole "Did I do it right?" (did i live my life right?)


Did I kiss the rain under electrical skies (did I take chances?)

I dont think that this song is about matt relating to the perosn he is atlking about.. I think he's being condecneding and mimmiky (in the chours..'cuz things they never work out right') and if you kinda understnad, he comes off as sarcastic. Another amazing song written by an amazing band.

Alkaline Trio – Blue In The Face Lyrics 19 years ago
Why the hell does everyone think that every alk song is about drugs? They have more depth than that. This song might be aobut durgs, but I'm pretty sure it's not...

It's just like saying every Cursive song is about a girl or every other alk song is a bout a girl. It's redictiouls, and when you say that, it makes them seem that, that subject is the ontly thing they know how to write about.

The Get Up Kids – The Dark Night of the Soul Lyrics 19 years ago
I know this will probably sound weird or something, but this song remeinds me of a demon or something. Or, theres somehting in his life that is chaning him, and could make him become jaded and he wants to do anything to prevent it.


The beast is poised to strike
The bastard plays on these insecurities (well, demons supposently possess people by lurking around thier insecurties...?)
Takes all my will to fight (and hes ready to fight what ever might change him because he'll do anything not to change)

Cursive – Dispenser Lyrics 19 years ago
That's cool.
I guess you're fitted for solitude
This suit doesn't fit you
Lonely fish - cry in this cage
Does your owner ignore you?

Well, now I'm thinking that I
I've never seen you look so down
I wonder if your heart has been chewed on
Cause sometimes dogs are dogs
Sometimes they chew toys
For their amusement

Well, I don't want to say
That anything is wrong
But I might not be here
When you come over

It's not your fault
It's all your fault

It's just all the times you said
I wish I had some better friends
I want some lonely fish to call my own

That's fine.
I heard you're headed to home-base
And leaving me behind
Just great.
Now you're safe in your womb
Lock the door to your bedroom

And, and you can punch your walls
And you can yell out at cars
You can scratch
Your favorite band on your wrist
And you can call me up
And, and act like nothing's wrong when
When you get desperate

I don't want to say
that anything is wrong
But I might not be here
When you come over

It's not your fault
It's all your fault

It's just all the times you chewed
On all our feelings you've abused
This solitude is absences of pride

I guess the time I spent on you
Was a waste of my time
Well I guess..
It was a matter of circumstance
And I couldn't compromise

But, but I can play the part
And, and I can scander the role
But I don't want to be
In your sad movie

And when I look back
At my ------------
I cut your heart out
Of every single sec-tion

I don't want to say
that anything is wrong
But I might not be here
(I might not be here)
When you come over
(When you come around)

It's not your fault
It's all you fault

I hope you got the card I sent
An explanation of our past
I'm signing off
I'm letting go
You dispense so I disown

Cursive – The Lament of Pretty Baby Lyrics 19 years ago
I love this song. This was the first Cursive song I have ever heard. In my opinion on this song, I think it's about a little girl who is getting emotional support from..maybe a brother or a father, or her mother? The girl kinda seems to young for a boyfirend to help her out but anyways..

I think this girl is having problems with her self confidence, hence the whole "we love you just the way you are..." thing. And this part "I don't want to be seen as a pretty thing, cause it's the pretty things that are alwys breaking." I think the person who is helping her deal with her emotiions is saying this, to give her some advice that she might understand.

When they said "Oh pretty youre so naive, but it comes off so cute..we dont want to fix you" Ovbisouny shes naive because she doesnt know much about herslef in order to gain confidence, and they dont want to fix her becasue she'll learn from it later in life.

It took me a little bit to figure out what "the nighten gale locked in a chage, wont you sing for me? wont you sing for me uh huh" meant but I think I get it. This girl is dealing with her fraction of depression, and the person who is helping her is telling her to ( in 'nightengale' terms) sing for him/her. Or telling her to do something that she loves to get over her doubts.

Then during the end of the song, the girl says that she wants to be 'fixed' or 'helped', but then the person helping her is saying "just sleep on this and you may fell better in the morning..i am strong because I have gotten you though all of this, and you are weak becasue you are so young..

and then he/she is like "wait u are stong and i am weak" and then realizes taht he/she feels bad for not handeling the situation better...i think!

Alkaline Trio – Tuck Me In Lyrics 19 years ago
I actaullly think I get this song. I'm not good with words, so I'll try to explain it.

Tuck me into where it's freezing,
Tuck me into bed with snakes.
Tuck me in with the tarantulas,
I wanna let 'em in my mouth and down my throat to lay their eggs.

Tuck me into where there's bleeding,
Where it spills out of the walls onto the floor.
Tuck me into where your best friend's apologies amount to shit,
they always did, for ever more.

( Even tho this is the twisted matt we're talking about, I think hes being sarcastic in the first verse..he's not being serious, he doesnt actaully want to be tucked in with all that shit becasue it is uncomfortalbe and strange. when he said this 'Tuck me into where your best friend's apologies amount to shit, they always did forever more' ovbiosuly he was pissed off about something, and he didnt like whatever happened. It's like saying "if you're going to 'tuck me in' with all that messed up shit, why dont you just 'tuck me in where all your best firends apologizes amount to shit they always did' because that will be just as bad"

I dunno, im just guessing tho.

Someone told me what ' while you're wating' was acataully about and I was amaized about how smart and good the lyrics actaully were. The metaphors are amazing. Now I go and read more about thier lyrics and I'm over whelmed. Alk has never ever seized to amaize me..
