i am thinking this song is about a guy who's in love with a girl who's going to become a human sacrifice. * he is asking for her blood and bones because he loves her, as opposed to the tribe, who want her blood and bones to appease their gods. * being brave & waiting for the scary day is waiting for the day of the ceremony * the tricks from their sleeves are their ideas for escape * believing in anything is a punny double-entendre referring to the beliefs of the tribe, as well as their own foolish hopes for escape * i think he's saying `if i could take the fire from the water', a reference to something miraculous that could appease the tribesmen and thus save her life, thus enabling them to share their lives together. Everyone knows her because the human to be sacrificed was greatly revered and respected. admittedly i'd have to think some to figure out the best part of the song (`i could take another hit for you...') but i think it works. and its way more interesting than drug addicts or whatever. |

i think this song is about a guy who's in love with a girl who is about to become a human sacrifice. everyone knows her and her name bc she's going to save the tribe with her death. he needs her blood and her bones more than the tribe does. i think the lyric is actually `if i could take the fire out from the *water*`, something that sounds miraculous and thus could convince the tribe to spare her life. he wants to take her somewhere where nobody knows her and nobody gives a damn so she won't get sacrificed. of course, the `scary day` is the day of the ceremony. |

| Song's about rebuilding a relationship. I love John Henry's optimism. Such a relief to hear after listening to all of this wah wah I hate you metal and emo. Fucking brilliant guitar work as well, the chorus makes me want to demolish a building. | |

there is no damned way this song is about coke. you're on coke. song's about anxiety and overcoming it, like some of his other songs. anyway, John Henry is brilliant with his couplets: i'll make light of this night, and night of this day, it's what i tell myself to sleep, when i dream myself awake. seriously, they don't come any better than that. i like that damned near enough to get it tattooed on myself. |
