| The Receiving End Of Sirens – Pale Blue Dot Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This entire album has meant a lot to me, and at one point I dedicated a lot of time in my day, thinking about some of the concepts in the album (by coincidence, the album didnt provoke these thoughts.) Lately, Ive had other things on my mind that I can relate to the album and especially this song. What I really love about certain concept albums, is how they follow a certain story, but that it can be applied (and not even liberally) in many different ways. For example, I take "Pale Blue Dot" in a different way than most of the people here. I look at it, as telling the listener that theres more to this world than guilt and shame. And that trapping yourself in this dark place only serves to make your existence meaningless. We are a pale blue dot, in an endless obsidian sky, and yet every day we worry about what new shoes we want to buy, or if 7-11 is open at 1AM. There is so much more out there. Another topic I feel the album as a whole touches on, is that of all the misery in the world. Our world, is filled with pain and misery in many different, yet very similar ways. It hurts me (and I figure the band) to watch innocents killed, animals brutalized and children left in dumpsters. As a whole we need to better ourselves, before there is nothing left. My two cents. |

| The Dear Hunter – Red Hands Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| the line "oh my god what have i dont/ my darling put your clothes back on" switches between two time periods. one when the boy is having sexy time with Ms leading, (the hooker), and another when he walks in on her with another man. Casey posted that on some forums a long time ago regarding the FIRST version of red hands from the demo's. | |
