As Cities Burn – Made Too Pretty Lyrics 14 years ago
"And if we are the body,
how'd the pretty man get so ugly?
How'd he get all these spaces between each limb?"

I feel certain he is talking about how as Christians we are the body of Christ, the "spaces" are the great division we've caused between ourselves with so many denominations and the contempt we hold for people who don't perhaps believe exactly as we do. ultimately there is only one gospel, and if we agree on that, then we are a part of His "body." the church. I think that's what this song is about as a whole. I agree with a lot of the other comments, but I think he is really just addressing the church as a whole; so it should be read as such, duality in the "I" and the "we" singularly referring to the whole of the body of Christ.
again, my case is reinforced by the "jesushow'dyougetsougly" because WE ARE THE BODY, so people judge who Jesus is, by what they see in us.
it's such a cool concept

Conor Oberst – Roosevelt Room Lyrics 16 years ago
to me it seemed like it's a cry from places like Iraq and Israel particularly. who then look back at america and say "..so.. you're not helping anything"
or at least it starts off that way. middle-east area, what with denali and child brides.
but then he shifts after the chorus. but, just in my mind.

I always heard "talk to your plans"
I guess it goes less with the theme of the song but..

The Dear Hunter – His Hands Matched His Tongue Lyrics 18 years ago
I love everything about his song.
now I'm going to bet this song was inspired by Say Anything- which are also amazing. but the way Casey sings it really does sound like Say Anything.

The Dear Hunter – The Pimp and The Priest Lyrics 18 years ago
ha, child birth.. well I guess maybe. But somewhere in me, I could have been sure it was about the pimp and priest having sex... a lot... with the church members.]
dude, it's so sad that Casey left TREOS.. but oh well, both bands are still amazing.
