Voices From The Fuselage – TE.E.S.O.E. Lyrics 10 years ago
IMO, this song is more cut and dry than to be perceived by the lyrics. A person he/ she (subject) was in a relationship with wanted the princess-like, fairytale relationship. The perception that society, embodied by entertainment industry standards, holds as a "standard".

People forget who they are. They're droned into who they should be... and act.

This "subject" fell in love with a silhouette that eventually gave up on him/ her. My guess - cheating. (Don't know any other way).

Dredg – Not That Simple Lyrics 16 years ago
To me this song is about fucking up in life and coming close to losing a significant other. Then realizing that he needs to change his ways in order to keep that significant other.

Remove my hands and feet
Watch me crawl
On my stubs
Throw me to the street
Watch me fall on
Down head first

The first verse (to me) means that he's desperate for help and doesn't care what others think of him.

It's not that simple
But I've needed this from the start
To guide my way
You will be ok (I think it's "to be ok")
It has made life simple
I have needed this from the start
To wake up

The second means that he has fallen so hard that he realizes his mistakes. It's like he learned something about himself.

If all else fails
If all turns to dust
Set sail
On a ship built from trust
If all else fails
When all starts to rust
Set sail
On a ship built for us

This to me, is him trying to gain that someone back.

It's time to retreat
I have sawed it down to the bone
The canyons are too deep
Yeah
I decided to run like a child
Then decided to run to rescue
It took too long
To wake up

Again, realizing his mistakes

Dredg – The Canyon Behind Her Lyrics 17 years ago
To me, the song is about life and death. How life has succumb to the way of 'life' itself. How we vuew what we are supposed to be. The title explains itself, in a metaphorical way of thinking. Especially when they play the 'Sit back and close your eyes'. It's a message to say to chill th F*** out. This is the life we are given. Relax....

Maybe the best definition (using only one word) is to "accept".

Thrice – Silver Wings Lyrics 17 years ago
I understand that this song is about air and how we humans take it for granted, but my interpretation of this is:

It's about the loss of a loved one. Especially the last two lines is what makes it hit hard. I can relate.

Well any way, that's my two cents. I don't care if you disagree.

I don't believe this song is about reincarnation. To me, it's about how life and death is beautiful. There is grace in both aspects.

Thrice – Open Water Lyrics 18 years ago
Ten thousand men sleep down with Davy Jones. With stolen treasure they tithe.

If I remember correctly, Davy Jones is kinda like a pseudo acronym for Devil Jonah. And 'With the stolen treasure they tithe', meaning a tenth of something valuable. To give a tax on something valuable. Life is the treasure and should be valuable. (The tenth part I dont quite get, yet). The open water is a place where both the Devil and God live. 'The open water chills me to my bones but it's the only place that I feel alive', is like giving comfort and 'The open water is my only fear', meaning to fear God and the Devil. (Who wouldn't?) And 'To sail as long as I still have breath', meaning to live as long as he can in this world.

The chorus seems pretty much self-explanitory. (playitloud253)

'Between the devil and the deep blue sea, I stare into the abyss. The open water is an awful thing, But I'm anxious 'til the anchor is aweigh.' Maybe meaning he will live his life, but can't wait to be on the 'other side'. With God.

I know there's probably more to it than just what I think. I'll come back when I get more insight.

Thrice – Night Diving Lyrics 18 years ago
I agree with sabio and Pearceftw. Actually I think he's saying both of those. 'Take me to the...' and then 'Into the (ocean?)'. If thats what's being said, then I'd think he'd want to drive his car into the ocean. Maybe...
