Isles & Glaciers – Viola Lion Lyrics 15 years ago
Aiden, I'm pretty sure you've got it right.

"I am a million pieces of the sky
I found a way to be alone
I'm gonna wait until you want me
Until you finally decide to go home"

I'm thinking of it as if he's going on a break with a girl. It just makes a lot more sense to me this way. He's found a way to be alone, they go on a break, but the fact that he says he's going to wait until she wants him just shows you that he doesn't want to be alone. The girl wants to work on herself because whatever she's doing is just causing trouble and she's the one that initiated the break because he says that he's going to wait for her. Unless he initiates it and wants her to work on herself and then come back to home.
Home symbolizes his persona. He's the home, the shelter and keeps her safe. He's the one that she needs, but she just doesn't realize it because the stress in the relationship is something she can't handle so she leaves. (Imagine a teenager that leaves his house because his parents are stressing him out, but he thinks what he knows is best when in fact, his parents that care for him know what's best and they're waiting for him at home.

"Diamond, diamond are you all in the sky?
I can't believe all of these beautiful lies
As they surround me I will take a photograph of the sky
Bury me, bury me
Come on, bury me alone in the light"

Diamonds in the sky could symbolize other girls, the gem that he's searching for. He's asking if they're all in the sky because he's on the ground and has bad luck with girls and them not working out with the relationship. He's calling out to them and just wants someone that stays true because the past relationships have been a lie. Taking a photograph of the sky would mean keeping what he sees forever. He just wants to stay in the light forever with the diamond that surrounds him.

"I am, I'm gonna run this like a lion
Another way to be alone
And I will wait until you find me
Until you finally decide to go home

(Don't go home! Don't go home!)"


A lion symbolizes strength, him "running this like a lion" means that he's going to be strong throughout everything that's going on. That means not running back to her and leaving her alone. Being the strong one is a way he's staying alone, when you're strong, you can't communicate with the girl, you just have to miss her. When he says "I will wait until you find me" it sounds to me like she actually leaves him, and blames him for what happened in the song. He still loves her and will still wait until he comes to her. That's just how strong his love is for her. But logically, he knows that he if does take her back, things won't work out, he's just so emotionally drawn to her and cares for her (Don't go home!).

"I've never had a reason to take me away, yeah
I want it to be over
But I sit here and wait

I saw her smiling from the top of the world
I saw her sleeping on, amazing I know
If you lower, lower, lower me down
You lower me clearly, so come and lower me"

He's never had a reason to take himself out of the relationship because he's always optimistic and knows things are going to work out no matter what. He's so passionate for this person. All he wants is the struggle to leave, but it doesn't and the only thing he can do is wait. She's obviously happy because she's smiling on top of the world and he's sitting there waiting for her. It hurts him to see that. The one he is passionate for leaves him, and she's there with another guy, sleeping on him feeling happy. She lowered him down from where he was before the relationship started, and it doesn't bother him, so that's why he says to come and lower him.

This song can tie directly into the song following it. Cemetery Weather. In that song, she leaves him and the guy she's now dating, makes her happy, but treats her the wrong way because he's all caught up in himself and is selfish. After all of this, he still wants to care for her and show her love. Not some quick fix. He knows he can make things last, she just needs to believe it.

I See Stars – What This Means To Me Lyrics 16 years ago
Only because I'm picky and want things my way. A better formation of the lyrics with minor changes.

Between you and me,
I think its pretty sad how
we're singing the same songs,
humming the same songs.

Oh Woah
Oh Woah

Don't you see what this means to me?

These are the hard times,
here to inspire
convenient how it always works out this way.
The message you'll find
heart on a wire
it will make you say

It will make you say

Oh my god there must be
something left to write.
The two best words
to sum up my whole life.

This is the story of our lives
From the road we sit and watch it pass by.
Is this the best use of my time?
Don't worry my love everything's alright.
I'd give just about anything
to know shes waiting for me
An eye for an eye a dream for a dream

The Life that I am force fed
I'm scared of the road ahead
Have you listen to a word I've sad?
The big picture is my dream is dead

These are the hard times,
here to inspire,
convenient how it always works out this way.
The message you'll find
heart on a wire
Don't you see what this means?

Between you and me,
I think its pretty sad how
we're singing the same songs,
humming the same songs.

Oh Woah
Oh Woah

Don't you see what this meant to me?
(I'd give just about anything
to know shes waiting for me
An eye for an eye a dream for a dream)

It will make you say oh God
Why was I wrong?
I missed all the meaning
When it was spelled out all along.

Blessthefall – God Wears Gucci Lyrics 16 years ago
Lyrics from their blog via myspace.

Take cover, run for your life

I'd rather die than let you get away

Get away from me

Run,take cover and save yourself

It's ok you'll be going under



Fall to your knees is what you told to me

How can I believe?

When you live a lie

To my face it's nothing new to me



This is going too far

You let them in on all your secrets

And they're not following, not following

Now the best part is over

I hope you savored the taste



You think you'll save us with your false impressions

You think it's working but you won't change me



Fall to your knees is what you told me

Is what you told me
How can I believe

When you live a lie..

To my face it's nothing new to me



Your time is running out

You should have known better

Only you can save you now

But you won't remember

So who's going to save you now?

Senses Fail – Sick Or Sane (Fifty For A Twenty) Lyrics 16 years ago
To me, this whole album is about his belief in his religion, (i think it's Christianity). He's struggling with his faith in God because he thinks that God is out to get him.

My interpretation of this song is this.

"Take me to a hotel room
And tie me to the bed of my mistakes
Kiss me like I paid for this
Please don't stop 'till you've raped all my faith"

I don't think this is prostitution at all, even though I can still see how you believe that it is. His mistakes being his belief that God is real. In the video 'The Priest and the Matador', it shows that he's in a fight with what's probably his girlfriend/fiance so it's probably her that is doing these things to him and making him believe against God, (Kiss me like I paid for this, please don't stop 'till you've raped all my faith" He wants to remove all the doubt about God and make it a certainty that He isn't real.

"And the white coats, just don't get it,
I'm a genius, with a headache.
And the white coats, just don't get it,
I'm a genius, with a headache.

Am I little sick or a little sane?
Am I little sick or a little sane?
Am I little sick or a little sane?
'Cause I feel a little sick"

He's still confused about God and Christianity, he probably wants to get some help from a christian therapist or maybe a doctor to get him believing in God the way he used to, but as they keep trying, he starts to feel sick of them because he's a "genius with a headache."

"I'm sorry I forgot your name
But this is the first time I've played this game
I know I made a big mistake
I'm paying you to suck out all my faith"

It's the first time he goes to see the Doctor or therapist, he need their help because the mistake he made was probably really bad and he feels as if God has turned his back on him.
OR
Going back to the music video mentioned earlier, he picks up a prostitute and he probably told his girlfriend about what he did, the big mistake. He picks up the prostitute for a reason, to get his mind off of God and all the doctors.

"She screams
Come and get some of this
She screams
Come and get some of this
She screams
Come and get some of this
She screams
Come and get some of this"

The girlfriend's pissed or.. well.. Orgasm.

The Word Alive – Casanova Rodeo Lyrics 17 years ago
Better format with minor changes.

---

You're heading south for the border.
This is the site of the murder, this is the end.
This is the end.

Cause this is the day, your life is gonna change.
There's no escape, apology would be too late.
Cause you're heading south for the border.
This is the site of the murder.

Cause you're armed with hate and a handgun.
Girl get in the car I'm riding shotgun.
You're armed with hate and a handgun.
Girl get in the car I'm riding shotgun.

Dead men tell no lies, oh, it wasn't me.
Dead men tell no lies, oh, it wasn't me.

This is not your last forgiveness.
And I'm not the one who holds the key.
So lock it up, lock it up.

Hearts will break tonight.
Hearts will break tonight.

Cause you're heading south for the border.
This is the site of the murder.

Grab the handgun, I'm riding shotgun.
Grab the handgun, I'm riding shotgun.

We're abandoned, I feel abandoned.
We'll avenge them, we will avenge our.

Dead men tell no lies, oh, it wasn't me.
Dead men tell no lies, oh, it wasn't me.

Cause this is not your last forgiveness.
And I'm not the one who holds the key.
So lock it up, lock it up.

The Sophomore Attempt – Get Me An Exit Lyrics 18 years ago
Directly from their myspace blog.

1st VERSE:

"Cold water for a straight jacket case
Just role the cameras and I swear I'll be ok"

That's pretty much a reference to being in a band and being in the position where you are kind of always under a spotlight. When you are constantly being watched, you don't want to show emotion. So it's comparing being in a band to being a news anchor, because they aren't supposed to show emotion when the camera is rolling.

"Now 3, 2, 1, this is daily news and breaking
By a show of hands, who else in here is faking?"

Another reference to not showing emotion and being under the spotlight/a news anchor.
The faking line references faking to be happy and fine.



CHORUS:

"This is where it all went wrong
And the words you said were subtle
But enough to break the ice"

This references how whenever this specific girl would constantly end things with me, she would try to do it in a very "sweet" way, but no matter how sweet/nice her words seemed, the message was still the same: "you're not good enough".
She would always start with (or "break the ice" with) something like "I still really care about you, but..." I knew what was going to happen pretty much immediately at that point.

"This is a perfect way to end it
And I told you I was clever
But I think you'll be surprised"

That is a reference to something she said to me. She told me once that I wrote really clever lyrics, so that just means she is going to be surprised at how cleverly I would write this song.



2nd VERSE:

"You've got a knack for finding red carpet thrills
And you've got the nerves, but baby I've got the skills"

Finding "Red carpet thrills" is just my way of saying she acts like she is in Hollywood all the time. Or like she's on one of those TV shows like Laguna Beach or the Hills. Red carpets are synonymous with Hollywood, so I just used that as a comparison for her never-ending dramatics.
The "nerves/skills" line is another reference to her being dramatic ("nerves" to create problems in non-problematic places) and me being in a band ("skills" being my musical abilities and such)

"Now listen up, get your elbows off the table
Keep your mouth wide shut
Cause I've got something else to tell you"

That line just means I want to have a polite conversation without all the stuff she would always make it into (everyone knows it's bad manners to have your elbows on the table...so there's that comparison), and I wanted to be the one doing the talking. The "keep your mouth wide shut" line is a reference to an old Tom Cruise movie I never saw called "Eyes Wide Shut". I just thought it was an original way of saying closed eyes, or in this case, closed mouth. It's kind of unexpected and catches you off guard a little.



BRIDGE:

"Here's your last chance to clap along with me
And here's the part where the audience gets to sing"

When I wrote this song, I knew I wanted to have the clapping that is behind it in the music, and I wanted to write as if I was talking to people from the stage. The "audience gets to sing" line is about the following group vocal part.

"Now it's 5 to 1 if you were looking for a setup
By a show of hands, who else in here is fed up?"

I think the "5 to 1" line might be the most misunderstood lyric I have ever written. I have had a TON of people come up at shows and said "dude, you totally can't count...it's 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Duh!" I say to you nay. That line is not a countdown what so ever! It means, "it's five of us (me and all my band boys) against (that's another meaning of the word to...) just the one girl that she was (or is...)

The "fed up" line is one of my favorites. I hope to see every hand in the crowd raised when I sing this line.



CLOSING LINE:

Just tap your shoes now baby,
And whisper, "There's no place like home"
Cause we're not in Kansas anymore

When I was dating the girl who this song (and most the songs) is about.
She had these bright red, shiny, slip-on shoes that resembled Dorothy's from Wizard of Oz. Everyone always made the reference whenever she was around, and because she liked that attention, she wore them quite often before she "quit emo". I think that's a pretty self-explanatory line if you've seen the movie. If you haven't, you should go rent it. It's an AMAZING film.

Hopefully this was helpful!!!

-Jeremiah

Blessthefall – With Eyes Wide Shut Lyrics 18 years ago
My best friend is moving in June this year, I know it's a long way aways, but I can already feel the depression weighing down on my chest as the thought of her leaving and the high probability of me never being able to see her again. I can definitely relate to the lyrics in this song because she has brought me countless amount of joy in my life, and the only place that me and her are probably going to meet again, are in dreams.

I'm a guy, a tough one at that, but situations like this, and me relating to these lyrics so much, it just makes me want to cry. ):

The Devil Wears Prada – The Scorpion Deathlock Lyrics 18 years ago
WrathofGod:
" 'Sitting upon this wooden bench' gives me a picture of someone on a cross. "

I'm going to have to disagree with you about the cross part. Did you ever think about the second coming of Jesus coming back to earth, all those who don't believe in him wish to kill him. If he were to sit on a bench in the middle of a park, he will be shot at with billion of bullets by non-believers.

And about Numbers, and why he always repeats it.

I think that it could be about the number "666" the mark of the beast, while the anti-christ will be on the earth, most of you are familiar with this. Those that wish to shop at stores, buy food, go to a gym, get gas, has to show proof of that number on either your forehead or on your hand. The reason why he repeats it could possibly be the fact that you will be asked multiple times.
