| The Hush Sound – The Market Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is about someone who is underapreciated, whether it be a lover, or a parent, or just a friend, it's saying that they're giving things most people would highly value but the person is taking it for granted, and even though "you said you'd put it on the wall" it's like a sort of pity apreciation, like you give a child with a picture they've done, "oh sure, thats really good, lets put it on the fridge" but the person doesn't want that, they want someone who'll actually apreciate it to have it, and this song is about them threatening to take away their love etc and give it to someone else, saying it would mean more to them | |

There's been a lot said on this song, and to be honest, I only read the first 2 pages, but to me this song is about an unwanted love. It's very personal to me because it reminds me a lot of one of my friends and I. When we met, I really adored him and desparetely wanted to be his friend, right from the start (I loved you first) and although he hurts me a lot, he's always there now, when I need him (you are my sweetest downfall), he actually does have long hair, but in this song I think that that is meant to represent his strength and closedoffishness to the world, and Regina has got close to the man in this song, even though he's got all these walls built up, he's given her permission to cut his hair, so too did I get close to my friend who is very closed off. At the end, when it talks about the pillars, It sounds like shes trying to pull the pillars down, and so I think that what it's saying is; no matter how hard either of them try and destroy the relationship now, it's impossible, they're too close. I think the rest of it, about going to bed, this is a very generalised statemnet, and i'm sure theres moer there, but i think that it's mostly just about that time in the morning when you wake up next to someone you love and don't get up till midday or whatever, you might leave for a minute to get "wonderbread" but then you come back. |

| The Hush Sound – Wine Red Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| as a furthur note, "the sea is wine red", rather then a reference to the red sea, or a sea of blood, could be a reference to homer's odyssey, where homer gives the sea the epithept of "wine red", so he often calls it the "wine red sea" | |

I agree that this song is about Adam and Eve, but I think a lot of people here have the wrong idea. I know a lot of relgious people are probably going to get angry at my interpretation, but I deffinatly see this song as a celebration of "the fall". The arrow could be seen as a punishment from god, and the singer is acussatory of who shot the arrow, certainly not an all loving god. (God's are often seen with arrows or lighting bolts) The song references immortality, which is what Adam and Eve had before the fall from grace, and if you're immortal, then the concept of time has no meaning, so when the singer says "this is the time and this is the place to be alive" I think he's celebrating what little time we have, this is a GOOD time, and as for place, no longer in the garden of eden, it's still a great place to be alive. Also, many heros were ment to be set up in the stars once they were dead, this is also referenced in the song, as if to die is to have a much greater gift then to live on immortally. I think overall what this song is saying is that we shouldn't be afraid to die, it's not a curse, it's a gift. |
