A Love Like Pi – Broken Hands Lyrics 18 years ago
I feel like this song is about a girl being constantly raped, or molested by the same guy.

"And it's a poor boy who's alive at best
And mistakes the pulse inside his chest
For the cartiledge between his legs
And it's all he knows
It's all he knows"

I feel like this stanza is like that saying, "he thinks with his penis". Alive at best, he wants to just have sex all the time, because it's all he thinks he is supposed to do with this girl.


"And it's a sad girl who sits and cries
Mistakes true love for brutal lies
And a warm wet tongue in between her thighs
It's all she knows
All she knows"

She only knows this guy for sex, and she won't stand up for herself and say enough is enough. All she knows is the lies that he feeds her and it's all she ever hears. He constantly wants to have sex with her and she probably wants more.


"And he wonders what she hides in those bags under her eyes
The secrets of the sleepless nights she spent with him
Since she let him in"

He thinks about the sleepless nights he's made her have, where he was inside of her, probably not by choice. Ever since the first time they had sex. He wants to know what she is thinking when she looks in the mirror when she sees the bags under her eyes.

"And the hands of those where burns are in
Both commit the greatest sins
By breaking hearts instead of skin
It's all they know
All they know"

Breaking skin, like losing her virginity I believe. They only have sex and it just isn't right, the guy is commiting a sin, burning as in hell?

"And she wipes her tears back as she sings
How broken hands make broken things
She sings
Yeah, she sings"

She's finally telling him to stop. She's crying saying she wants this to end and she's completely done. She doesn't want to live this Broken 'Lie' and doesn't want this to continue. I think Broken Hands probably might symbolize the broken feelings she has towards the guy. She was probably close to him until he hurt her the way she did.

I Get the Chills when I listen to this song. My eyes water, and my first time I started to shake, as creepy/weird as that sounds!

Motion City Soundtrack – Make Out Kids Lyrics 18 years ago
oh yeah, and "miniature mistakes"
after the making out and 'sleepovers' they had after their relationship, friendship would be too awkward for them

Motion City Soundtrack – Make Out Kids Lyrics 18 years ago
isn't it sort of obvious? they had a date and went to the movies... they assumably madeout. he wanted to maintain the relationship but she just wanted a hookup.... and he's saying that basically, make-out kids can't be friends after things like that.

"broken hearts that failed to mend
make out kids never have a chance to be best friends"

"We fail to keep in touch these days,
I'm liquid cold, she's murder grey,
Hollowed by circumstance that pushed us both away."

The Format – I'm Actual Lyrics 18 years ago
With the hole notches on a door, when I was growing up i would mark on my pantry door with my height. Maybe he's referring to the many times he's grown from their relationship and it's rockyness.
Just a shot in the blue.

The Format – Your New Name (Hey Annalise) Lyrics 18 years ago
"three word commands" Tie the rope, tap the break and cause a scene are three worded named songs, and are the Format's most well known songs. I think Nate's making a joke out of his second-rate singing.

The Format – The First Single Lyrics 18 years ago
I love this song, it's so catchy, one of my first Format songs.
I feel like this song has something to do with Nate's father's sickness.
"I can’t stand to think about
A heart too big it hurts like hell
Oh my god, I gave my best
For three whole years to end like this"

I know in the song On Your Porch, Nate talks about his father's sickness for three years.

hmm.. I don't know, that's just my opinion on this song.
