Possum the Cougar... whoa? You REALLY interpret this song as being about a rookie cop? Maybe hinged on the "he's a writer and a ranger and a young boy bearing arms" passage.... Well Genus (intentional spelling) did you ever consider that the passage could more accurately be written as "he's a writer and arranger and a young boy bearing arms" Not a RANGER like in the Park chasing Yogi and Boo Boo, but an ARRANGER, someone whom makes arrangements for others or composes structured musical arrangements. Not Jon and Ponch, not TJ Hooker, not Mantracker... nope. |

| Jawbreaker – In Sadding Around Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
OOOPS.... Wow! Talk about oversimplification. Isn't it really about the angst and pain he feels from his frustrated career as a McDonalds McNugget Chicken Raiser, and the constant exposure to all those chickens with the grotesquely and unnaturally enlarged McBreasts.... Giving rise to the contrast that he must accept that his Frankenchickens are leaving, as they line up excitedly, awaiting their ride on the Mechanical Chicken Separator machine. In the end he wonders if he can achieve some closure, bridging the chasm of their separation, by breaking out some Honey Mustard or BBQ Sauce and maybe a six or nine piece.... a real "Happy Meal". Wow... how can any one song be so chock full of Ironical Meta-fours (and even some Meta-twos and threes. Insane! |

| Face to Face – Everyone Hates A Know-It-All Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It's only the truth if you believe it... Many criticized F2F and TREVER for the dramatic change in sound on Ignorance is Bliss. I was taken by surprise myself at first, expecting that energetic yet melodic F2F sound, but as the songs revealed themselves to me I recognized the energy, albeit transformed as Trever lay down the most powerfully convicted and emotional vocal track (on what I would come to know as "Everyone Hates a Know it All") listening intently I was suddenly emotionally?/spiritually? overwhelmed by the depth and complexity of what was being conveyed. For the few individuals that really do understand this song, and the greatness of what it really means.... can really empathize with Trever, sharing in the irony that for so many they are so lucky to be Blissfully Ignorant yet by that very definition they remain precluded from the equally blissful joy of primal understanding and the kinship shared by the few. The enigmatic nature of the album's title reveals itself as a true paradox, but only to those few souls whom, much like Trever, are able to open themselves up to it, touching us in ways that allow us to experience life's multiverse on a much purer, albeit grander, and far more enlightened plane of consciousness. |
