| The Avett Brothers – The Once and Future Carpenter Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
To me, this song seems to have meaning beyond what I'm going to dive into here, but I believe the theme is that despite what you may be doing or even if you have found your calling, go out and explore the world outside of where you call home. Many of the examples in the verses convey the idea of getting out of your comfort zone and seeing what else the world has to offer beyond what you experience daily and already know. "When the black cloak (dress, in some versions) drags upon the ground I'll be ready to surrender, and remember well we're all in this together. If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die." In my opinion, this part of the chorus explains that if you do go out, travel the world, and see what all it can offer, you won't have any regrets in life because you made the most of your time here. It also invokes the song's title to me in that, no matter where the narrator may go, he was a carpenter (or any profession) and will still be one once he finishes exploring the world outside of carpentry. I'm sure there's much more to this, but for now those things stick out most to me. |

Every time I listen to this song, I picture it playing behind a scene in a movie where we see an overhead shot of a couple dancing all alone in a magnificent ballroom/study type room (a la Beauty and the Beast, maybe)on a golden-colored wood floor, big chandeliers and just a real warm feel to the shot. Then it would cut to a passion-filled love scene where you can practically feel the burning love between the two of them like for a moment there is no one else on earth or anything going on. Just my thoughts on an awesome, passionate song. Snow Patrol is amazing. |

| Dave Matthews Band – Funny the Way It Is Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| definitely right on with it referring to LeRoi. i think it can be both, really. obviously Roi here, but a song like Bartender, Grace is Gone, etc. can also apply to the same line. good point though. | |

So good to hear new studio material from Dave and the guys. Makes me even more excited for June 2. As far as the meaning goes, a quick listen and glance at the material (+ the title) makes me think that it's about how life can be so different for any two people at any given moment. Sort of a bunch of dichotomies...the song inspired by someone's heartbreak ends up meaning so much (joy?) to a person who hears it and the other comparisons mentioned in the song. One part I really like is early in the song when it talks about children laughing while playing war, then later a soldier takes his last breath while his child is born. I feel like that makes a statement about how people, especially children, think war is a glorious game without realizing that it actually steals the life of a husband, wife, son, daughter, father, mother, etc. I expect great things from the rest of the album and can't wait for it to come! |

here's what i can get for the message... saved message: hey, what's up? uhh, i just lost it. at the end of the day, i f*cking lost it, just blew up. my whole entire f*cking apartment building, i told everyone to go f*ck themselves. i just had a hard time today and uh, i don't know. and the last part... new message: yo what's up man? i, uh, i don't know man. i just wanted to say that, uh, you know, everything's made up. i mean everything's, everything will always be f*cked. can't stop being funky. but i guess we just deal with it how it comes, deal with the humps, take the jumps. i feel like, you're an island of reality in an ocean of diarrhea. and i love you buddy. ok. bye. also, i think the correct lyrics are Are the details in the fabric Are the things that make you panic Are your thoughts results of static cling? Are the things that make you blow Hell, no reason, go on and scream If you're shocked it's just the fault Of faulty manufacturing. ...basically, the word "are" instead of "all" |
