This song could also be interpeted as a freindship killed by an affair "the pictures on the floor sketches of what was there before" are pictures of his old freind They were drinking while they had sex and did not even think of their freind: "i can hear the bottle on the ground we turned the corner safe and sound no thought of him as it was done a clean execution" the "clean execution" signifying the end of the relationship between him and his freind. The two didnt think of the consequences (probably helped by the alcohol) and were "fooled by the notion that the sums don't add up at all" Now they onl have a meaningless affair and he has a lost freind |

This song could easily be about addictions but it could also be interpeted as a young person who had an abortion or had a partner who did. "ican see the pictures on the floor sketches of what was there before" could be the baby's ultra sound pictures. and of course a baby comes from "seeds" aka ovary/sperm. and the potential parent did not think of the child but rather themselves and their future as a "clean execution" (an abortion was completed). now the "sums dont add up at all", there should be a baby but there is not due to the operation. |

| Silversun Pickups – Comeback Kid Lyrics | 18 years ago |

This song has such an intense yet mellow climax, like most of their songs. Im surprised no one has attempted to interpet it yet. From what i can put together this song is about conforming to society, and how the "comeback" opened his ("me") and another's ("you") eyes to the lack of logic and individuality associated with conformity, through his "words that defied all our social gestures". To burn a "pyre", which the mythical sphynx did, means to build yourself up only to burn your self down, and start again (the sphynx would build a pyre of straw and light it on fire). Which can be related to the fads societies thoughtlessly goes through, how people become obsessed and completley immersed in a style (for example) only to throw it all away for a different one. "With words that defied all our social gestures" the comeback kid allowed them ("me" and "you") to step back and see this. Now they can "see in better moods" a "singularity", being the group of mindless followers, only now he exludes "you". The Comeback kid's "words" have had such a deep impact on the two that "No one could have known what the comeback kid did". The comback kid "isnt bleeding yet" like the others, possibly meaning that not fitting in with society does not negatively effect him, and he feels no need to conform. He's confident, and the two unlike him "bruise" from their differences in comparison to society, thus they: "pull the nerves out Through the pores That bruise so easily" to prevent bleeding and bruising, they eliminate the source of pain (nerves). Now they are changed and "you" dont whisper with everyone, and everyone burns but "me". The comback kid won the two "me" and "you", and the lyrics even repeat the word "win" twice, representing the two. |
