I think a lot of these analyzes are trying to prod and pull specifics when there may be a much simpler interpretation. I think the narrator is learning about the nature of things, of life...He was one who was very set, very grounded by his religious beliefs that he would be protected and saved through faith in "god". But, as this elemental, chaotic force of CHANGE bears down upon him, shakes the ground beneath him, and brings these constructs that hes built around him crumbling away, he realizes how very wrong he was. He is afraid. But, in the end, it is a necessary fear. To avoid change, to hunker down in what is ultimately a false sense of security, he learns, is to set yourself up for the fall. You have to keep moving, learning, growing, with the change, and the only thing that is going to save you is YOURSELF, your will to stay afloat. The end can be a reference to baptism, but also to a purging of ones fears, old ways, and outdated notions, as one evolves and takes higher spiritual ground. Nes pa? |

| I want you all to take a listen to Idiot Flesh's "Twitch". This song is either a rippoff/homage to that song. | |

this really conjures up past relationships and kind of gives me a better understanding of my ex's side.... whether or not it is the true meaning, it makes a lot of sense to me |

Ive been quite enamored with this song for a long time-its got such passionate delivery with a varied amount of tension and emotional range...so i finally decided to sit down and try to get a more vivid interpretation from it: Try this on for size Theres this distance between us…you really want to be with me But I want to keep my distance because I want to retain my sense of self Im feel like suffocating this young, precious emotion we have between us In its infancy Before I can finally take this in, and accept that wholeness. Is this my nature…Is this sense of self that im perceiving? Im at a point of confliction…Maybe I just need time But youre pushing yourself on me Your love is thrusting itself on me With a weight I may not have the heart to accept yet Youre resting more love, and in turn, fault and guilt on me for feeling this way Racking more pressure…There is a connection.. but your not giving it time And I feel this tension and expectation and its getting more heated I am not ready to feel this close to you If you force this, as much as I feel I care for you, it will end And yet you still push and force this love on me so quickly Beyond its capacity…beyond my current ability to receive And accept it and return it openly Im feeling myself pull back again from you Things are too unstable Too mixed up for me to firmly be able to plant my feet One minute things are passionate and the next theyre painful Something happens…a fight… A situation…a side of myself…or you Perhaps something that reminded me Of a time before that I was hurt That ive been trying to distance myself from And it feels like its repeated itself Im leaving and youre begging me to stay We have this love but its totally imperfect Unbalanced, passionate, but destructive for both of us Im being smothered and your still reaching out to cling Trying to get more out of me... …its grown into this persistent tainted ugly thing between us Born from both of our misgivings I felt drawn in by you to stay and make it work Even though it has been eating me up inside But Ive worked up the courage to finally leave Another huge fight... bitter angry violent and abrupt and I didn’t mean what I said it hurt both of us But if I tried to tell you what ive been really feeling And I tell you this love will kill me Youll just try and convince me to stay And try to make it work There is really no choice but to just let things go violently, angrily Without regret Persuade you to hate me now so we can both move on Rather than try and rope me into this relationship Love shouldn’t feel this way. Im afraid of being close to you Ive got my own past I must overcome And youre afraid of being without me Youre maybe insecure and not truly ready to be loved Theres no love in fear And so im ending this Its scary to lose you like this and its strange being alone again Just remember as I hurt you To create this necessary distance And be at peace again Don’t hate me for it Deep down inside you should cherish the good we saw in one another and The love that we did share together As abusive as this relationship was And realize eventually that either way it would have ended badly |

| Faith No More – Last Cup Of Sorrow Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| i definitely think this is about dealing with a bad situation, acknowledging it, as well as the process of getting over it, then moving on. It points out that if you dont bring yourself to let go, youll continue to be stuck in an emotional rut over it until you learn to finally face it. very cool song. | |
| Tomahawk – Capt. Midnight Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Not that it matters but its definitely not "burning it blue" its "burning igloos" interesting imagery nonetheless. id say yeah this is about finally putting your foot down and ending a relationship with a girl whos a manipulative energy vampire...maybe someone who he felt made him feel he couldnt do without from the looks of it-either way this song is easy to identify with- and has one of the most intense choruses ever. | |

we are all of one whole if we learn to speak our minds share our thoughts, experiences, and ideas but respect our individual differences and know the beauty of our "fundamental differing" we can come together as one love we have to learn to grow beyond our yearnings for power and the ape-like struggle for dominance ideas of self importance that lead to "coveting" and ostracizing and ultimately divides us against ourselves even this site is a testament to this idea right and wrong are just words everyone has their own perspective on what is and when we find we can both agree or disagree and respect it for what it is whether than bash eachothers heads in about it its fucking poetry. |
