| Lydia – Music Makers Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is what I hear: We are the music makers The dreamers of your dreams We are the music makers The dreamers of your dreams We are the music makers The dreamers of your dreams We are, we are, we are the music. I found a tie between these lyrics and a poem I read in high school which says "...We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams…" Anyways, I really like this song. It's so unlike Lydia's other songs because it's auto tuned, which totally doesn't seem like their style, but it's amazing, of course. :) |

| Does anyone else thinks it says Sirens instead of silence? Like From the Odyssey? I don't know, just a though & that's what it sounds like to me. | |
| The Academy Is... – About a Girl Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure he says, "Sometimes I'm overloaded, you'll never know it," not "Sometimes I don't blow it..." I agree that I think it's about someone trying to trick himself into love or something along those lines, but why does he have to say it's "about a GIRL"? I mean, we all know the rumors going around (which are mostly true & I hate to admit it) that William Beckett is gay, so that could be part of it too. How have these lyrics been up so long? ): I just heard the song today when they uploaded it. How am I missing out? Haha. (I'm slightly TAI obsessed) |

Oh, and it is "And there she was" not, "And after all". I thought it was "And after all;" at first, but in the booklet it says "And there she was;" and once I listened to it closer it sounds like it too. :p |

Yeah, I totally thought of Perks when I heard that line. Same with the Romeo & Juliet deal. This song is just plain amazing. |

| Chiodos – Is It Progression If A Cannibal Uses A Fork? Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Oh, wait! I forgot to mention the breathing at the start. (Oh myyy. ;]]]) Don't you dare try to tell me it doesn't sound like A) he's worn out from sex, or B) he's running from something he really fears (like maybe, I don't know, the fact he just killed somebody?) Maybe that's just what I got because of my opinion on the song, though. Whatever. :p |

The lyrics in the booklet are not totally wrong, they're just not all in the same order, nor are they all there. I looked through them when I first bought the CD and for most of the lyrics that aren't in there are ones you can easily understand. (for the most part, anyways.) Wow. I find it really funny you all think they sound so much like Panic. I mean, I used to be a Panic obsessed freak before they got popular, and yeah, I'll admit that I loved Panic, but no, they really don't sound the same. Panic is much more upbeat almost happy sounding, as where Chiodos seems much more down to earth and semi-realistic. If these two bands only sang about killing there ex's for example I think you could describe their sounds as the following: Panic is kind of like "I killed her, but I'll make it seem like I had a justifiable reason to do so & I'll make me story sound so extremely artistic by totally morphing it into something different almost." And Chiodos are like "Yeah, I killed her. I'm not going to cover it up, but I'll tell you I feel bad about it." I just put Bone Palace Ballet & A Fever You Can't Sweat Out on a shuffled play list on my iTunes and I also noticed (well, forgot and now remembered I would say) that Panic is very Circus-y. You all know what I mean too. You feel like you should be surrounded by a bunch of Carnies when you listen to them. But Chiodos almost sound like you'd be in a mental institution and this would be their soundtrack all around there. I will admit they both use a lot of Piano though, and violin ( I think) which I do like a lot. As for this song I do think it has to do with banging the chick and killing her as the poems were too. I mewna, it really couldn't be anymore blunt and it's not something easy to think into. You'd have to dig really deep to get some other meaning out of it. IMO, anyways.) All I know for sure is that this song is great. Oh, & I'll agree with grindcorexlove on the whole "Biting the flesh from your finger//You know I just can't help myself" deal. That's just fucking hot. ;D Yeah, I think I wrote about a novel & a half on this. Talk about nine kinds of long. |

| Chiodos – A Letter From Janelle Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song is one of my favorites on this album. Bone Palace Ballet has been a big hit with everyone I know. I love Craigery's voice to no end. It truely gives me goosebumps when he sings "Such a paradox, isn't it?" I'm hoping to see Chiodos on Nov. 12th @ HOB in Orlando. :D Onto what it means... This song I think is really the person speaking to an ex-lover saying that he wants to still be with her, but he also doesn't. He points out the good parts of the relationship, but he points out her personal flaws. "We make the sun shine" Like, them being together makes the day better. But he says how she's always putting on this facade that she thinks everyone (or he?) wants to see, and he just wished she would have been herself. And I don't know why everyone thinks this has anything to do with a letter. Have you honestly looked at any of their titles? If this was a letter the title of this song would not say 'letter' in it. I can almost guarantee that. |

| This song seems pretty self explanatory and I love it. Sadly you can't download or buy they're stuff anywhere yet. At least not in FL. > | |
| The Academy Is... – Checkmarks Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This was the first song I fell in love with when I started listening to TAI about 2 years ago and I've loved it ever since. In my opinion this song is simply amazing and it is what caused my extreme obsessive love for the whole band. Haha. So, this song, in my eyes, seems to be his way of saying that even though him and his girlfriend are over it doesn't phase him much because she's turned into something else that she may have been all along. He is basically calling her a slut in the line saying "Your bedroom behavior was never more that checkmarks on bedposts" I think when the relationship was going on it could have possibly been a "forbidden love" sort of deal because of these lines: "You get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes. /You hope I don't make a sound, you hope that nobody knows./" Or something else, those lines always confuse me. Besides the fact that it obviously refers to sex. I absolutely love the chorus of this song, btw, and I think that is the part of the song that really shows how they relationship ended horribly. "So suck your so called pity down. Hey, that's not so bad, is it? So take your cold, cold heart and drown and don't forget to take deep breaths." She must've wanted sympathy and pity for him breaking her heart, vice versa, she turned the story around, or something along those messy breakup lines. (& I adore how in the final chorus he takes a deep breathe. :]) My reasoning for thinking that the girl in this situation must've become somebody different in his eyes is by the line: "Well it's not the same Just look at how we've changed" My thoughts on this would be that he's telling her that they're different people now and that they've changed and his feeling aren't the same. He doesn't feel that type of emotion towards her anymore. Yet he still wants to make her feel bad by sort of taunting her saying, "Do you miss looking up from the floor at my face on a stage in a crowded room?" I think he also felt used in a way by stating "I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces." Anyways, I could be totally off and not looking deep enough into the lyrics, but oh well. No beef from me. I just adore Beckett's voice. He sings me to sleep. :P |

| The Academy Is... – Mayonnaise (Smashing Pumpkins cover) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I saw this song on TAI's MySpace and I just though "Wth happened?" Then I realized the song and yeah, it all fit together. Aha. I love TAI; they do great covers. :] | |
| The Academy Is... – Black Mamba Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this song was about them getting out into the real world of music and simply being "sick" of where they were. They were all ready to get big and that's exactly what they did. This song just shows how much they really wanted this and how hard they worked to get it. They weren't going to be a different band or fit into your "scene": "This is the voice that I was given And if you don't like it Take a long walk off Of the shortest pier you can find" (That's one of my favorite quotes, btw. Haha.) "Oh Mr. Magazine I never wrote one single thing for you Or your so-called music scene You both mean shit to me" They also state how they're not going to be fake, or fake what they're talking about. "Well, they can love it, or leave it, or rip it apart We're living what we're signing So I guess that's a step in the right direction" This shows that they're real people and they're just like us. The have heart-ache and pain and they'll show it through their songs. They were just hoping to get a few listeners from the start. |

| The Academy Is... – Everything We Had Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think this song is extremely self explanatory and I'd probably kill to see William Beckett sing it himself. He has a voice like velvet; I'm in love with his band. :] | |
| Flyleaf – All Around Me Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It seems everyone here has to pick one or the other. A love song or a song sung to/about God. In my opinion I think this could actually be a song meant to have multiple meanings, hence why everything can be takes in two ways. Maybe it was written as a love song for somebody and transformed into a song for God also or vice versa. I know bands who've done such before and it's always possible that could be the case here. |
