Minus the Bear – Steel and Blood Lyrics 13 years ago
Saw a video of the band playing this acoustically and Jake said the song is how relationships can be like car crashes some times. The parallels are totally there: Crazy damaging event (car crash) followed by recovery times and really caring for someone.

Another fix:

"Come on baby, erase it with me" Should be, "Come on baby, embrace it with me."

Here's what I heard for the second line, "But there's loves we never get" and for the first line of the second verse, "Saw your eyes straight on." Straight on makes sense as the second line sounds like they were locked eye to eye.

Minus the Bear – Toska Lyrics 13 years ago
"Try to read your life from memory" not rid. "Try to read your life texturally" is the next first line. In the last verse sounds more like,

"Listen to me
Seek through my lies
And find what you need to be true."

Minus the Bear – Diamond Lightning Lyrics 13 years ago
The first line is coastline bridge, not coselyn bridge. It makes sense with the rest of the verse as it's probably a bridge over a river that's reached the sea. I also agree with F4rag that the second verse, second line is, "Met Lucille for the first time again."

The song is about wasting time working, "for the man" at a boring 9-5 striving to stay above water. It's got the same meaning overall as a number of songs out there.

Second verse sounds like it goes this way to me:

Put your time in
And time again
Spend your weekend
Finishing dead ends
Years go by
Xerox days of
Exchanging your life
For a paycheck

Minus the Bear – Lies and Eyes Lyrics 13 years ago
Just a few here. Blur is actually blood. (That section is on the Dangerbird page for the band.) Knowing that word, it helps fix the next line after that which is, "Spells out everything about one man / Who he is and where he's been"

My listening of the lyrics:

He regrets having no regrets
And his long nights on the outside
Letting it slide
One more time
He cant stand it when you talk to him in that voice that sounds like your mother
He's watching your mouth move
He turns words into white noise
He blocks you out

What do you want, what do you want to know?
The good decision
Never feels like the right time, girl
(What do you want, what do you want to know?)
You think he's a liar
So save your sorrow

He wants to, want nothing
Nothing to do with the woman
Who fall in love with his lies, eyes
And you think that he listens

While you act like you are losing your mind
Over whatever truth you find to be a lie
As he fades out of the room, into his mind

What do you want, what do you want to know?
The good decision
Never feels like the right time, girl
(What do you want, what do you want to know?)
Think he's a liar
So save your sorrow

Pick up the pieces of these words
Shattered across the floor
With careful hands
You know his words are sharp
and you can read the blood
You can read the blood
You can read the blood
You can read the blood
(What do you want, what do you want to know?)
You can read the blood

Spells out everything about one man
Who he is and where he's been
You watch his eyes ten thousand times
But you don't see
Maybe you're wrong

Minus the Bear – Steel and Blood Lyrics 13 years ago
The song is obviously about a car crash throughout. Possibly about drunk driving.

Starts with a couple driving along after picking up a bottle of bourbon and are either drinking and driving or heading somewhere to drink it.

"And the bourbon's full at this point
Crack the seal and spin the top away
Yeah bourbon's full at this point
Come on baby, erase it with me"

During the drinking or before getting where they're going, they're in an accident which gets us into the chorus. "A cacophony of a car crash" refers to the mix of sounds that a heard including the screeching of tires, crushing metal, breaking glass, screams, etc. A cacophony is defined as, "A harsh, discordant mixture of sounds" The last chorus line refers to the silence after a crash from the vehicle stopping and the shock of what happened.

After the crash the person who's perspective is written in the song is trying to keep the injured person, the girlfriend presumably, awake and responding to him to prevent death or a coma. During the accident the bottle of bourbon broke and has poured out into the street.

"I need your eyes to stay connected
Keep on looking into mine
Don't move, don't speak, don't speak
Everything's gonna be fine
And the bourbons on pavement
Shattered bottle in the front seat
And it's broken on the pavement
Come on baby, don't slip away"

The person is very seriously injured and the first person/story teller is trying to get help after noticing. It seems that the injured person has gone into a coma. The story teller is waiting for beckoning them to wake up and saying they'll wait until then.

She's bleeding out, call an ambulance
These shaking hands are soaking wet (unsure of the last two words in this line)
I'll be by your bedside, when you come to
Come to me

Changed a couple things and fixed some spelling. Comforting seems to be the word people use in the chorus a lot, but it's actually cacophony. "Cacophony: A harsh, discordant mixture of sounds"

I need your eyes for our connection
Every blink you give away, I lose
You gave it free, it's gone
Spinning off into space alone
And the bourbon's full at this point
Crack the seal and spin the top away
Yeah bourbon's full at this point
Come on baby, erase it with me

Two become one
The cacophony of a car crash
Steel and blood, and it's over with the silence

I need your eyes to stay connected
Keep on looking into mine
Don't move, don't speak, don't speak
Everything's gonna be fine
And the bourbons on pavement
Shattered bottle in the front seat
And it's broaken on the pavement
Come on baby, don't slip away

Two become one
The cacophony of a car crash
Steel and blood, and it's over with the silence

She's bleeding out, call an ambulance
These shaking hands are soaking wet
I'll be by your bedside, when you come to
Come to me
I'll be by your bedside, when you come to
Come to me
I'll be by your bedside
Come to me
I'll be by your bedside
Come to me
I'll be by your bedside
Come to me
I'll be by your bedside
Come to me

Two become one
The cacophony of a car crash
Steel and blood, and it's over with the silence

Two become one
The cacophony of a car crash
Steel and blood, and it's over with the silence

Minus the Bear – Listing Lyrics 13 years ago
The song is titled, "Listing" which is taken from the nautical term list. List: A vessel's angle of lean or tilt to one side, in the direction called roll. It ties into the song with the references to the tide.

I was reliving everything you said
and then it caved in
No one else can make me feel the same
It's how we live

The tide is chasing us in
Don't get wet
Don't get wet
Yeah

No one can see me listing
No one can see
Don't you miss it
Watching me sing

Now you got me
You're stuck in my head
And you're not even close to where I am

Sometimes this city brings you in
Let's you know we live(d)
Well of to whoever is him
You and him
Yeah

No one can see me listing
No one can see
Don't you miss it,
Watching me sing?

Sometimes I forget just for a bit
Sometimes I forget just for a bit
Sometimes I forget just for a bit
Sometimes I forget just for a bit
Sometimes I forget just for a bit

No one can see me listing
No one can see
Don't you miss it,
Watching me sing?

Every Time I Die – Floater Lyrics 15 years ago
To my mistress the bridge, I don't feel well.
I'll be leaving and you can't stop me.
We've been carrying on too long,
We've been carrying on too long,

I'm sorry, but I'm gone.
I've got a bad reputation to think about.
I've been dirty, I've been wrong.
Maybe someday they'll find that I've washed up.
I'm stepping out to clear my head.
I'm breathing in to fill my lungs.
We're all dead.
We're all dead.

Farewell scenic highway overpass.

It's better this way anyways.
My lover the river makes a better soldier than a bride.
My lover the river makes a better soldier than a bride.

I left my heart at the side of her bed and she's got the warmest body that I've never had.
Drag the lake, you'll find that it's full of love.
Drag the lake, you'll find that it's full of love.
Drag the lake, you'll find that it's full of love.
Bring the children to the water and let them see what heartache did.

This matrimony needs a witness, and you can teach them to swim,
and you can teach them to swim,
and you can teach them all to swim.

Don't let your dreamers grow up to be dead men.
Drown us at birth, save her some time.

Drifting on romantic holiday,
breathless as her cold arms cover me.

Drag the lake. You'll find it's full of love.
Drag the lake. You'll find it's full of love....

Edited. Also, what're your thoughts for the line:

I'm thinking maybe now it sounds like "deep in" instead of "keepin'"
