| Bayside – I and I Lyrics
| 17 years ago

|
I saw Anthony play an acoustic show and he said that he took 'I' from a certain religion (don't remember which). The meaning of 'I' in this religion states that I can be yourself, but 'I' also is your friends, your family, God, etc. When you listen to the song with that in mind, it takes it to a new level. |

If you watch the bonus material from 'Sirens and Condolences', Andrew Elderbaum states he wrote this song about the poem 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'. Hell, he states what was the basis for all of the songs on the album. |

| Smoking Popes – Paul Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I think this song is from the perspective of Paul; first person. To me, Paul is telling the story of how he loves this woman. He has been building their relationship and finally wants to express his true feelings to this woman. He wants her to accept his love right away. However, he cannot work up the courage to tell her how he feels so he dreams of her. He then realizes how he does not have her, but dreams that one day she will come around, expressing her love to him.
The second stanza says that he has put everything on this woman accepting his love. If she doesn't accept it, he will simply give up with love. He seems to feel that he should know if she is the one for him.
The final stanza deals with Paul never working up the courage to express his feelings to the woman. He has realized that he simply kept dreaming of her, not pursuing his love. Ultimately, he is broken hearted, but still holds a love for this woman. |
