Silversun Pickups – Kissing Families Lyrics 18 years ago
I think it is a downward spiral of a failing relationship. At least that is how it relates to me. A rusted ring refers to a marriage that lost its luster and causes pain.
"Forgotten prison
It's been safe 'til now" is being content and putting up with the pain because you don't believe there is better.
"Well, some would say I'd made a mistake
Kept looking forward on paths sideways
It's everything that is connected and beautiful
And now I know just where I stand" is your friend's or loved ones wondering why you are still there.
"Well, seasons always shift too late
Spent too much time now on paths sideways
It's everything that's connected and beautiful
And now I know just where I stand
Thank God it's over" is when you realize that things will never change and the pain has lasted too long. It is also the relief of freedom.
I could also see this song being about an abusive relationship.

Norma Jean – Blueprints for Future Homes Lyrics 18 years ago
"There is a way which seems right to a man,But its end is the way of death." This is from proverbs and I think sums up most of the song. It also speaks of the blueprints the world is making for us, which has been said.

Chevelle – Well Enough Alone Lyrics 18 years ago
I think it is about social reform and how so many people take advantage of it now. When it was starting, (I believe the first big step was Social Security) the people saw a chance to retire in their later years, hence "the old and the aged pulled and never knew what hit". Nowadays people defraud social programs all the time, like Section 8 housing, Disability, and the like.
