There are some parts of the song that i don't really understand, but i can definatley feel the general emotions that he is trying to convey. He is restless; living the average life of going to college, finding a stable career, getting married, having kids, ect. is not even an option for him. But since that is the excepted way to live in this society, he gets a hard time while trying to go against it. He wants to get out there and see what he can be, but he feels so many people trying to hold him back. He wants to be able to go out there and live his dream without feeling guilty for disobeying and abandoning his loved ones. But he is tried of wasting time; he wants to be able to look back on his life with no regrets. But others think that he will not make it or that he will sell out and change himself for the money. I love Joisah more than myslef, but I even doubt how far he will make it. He is so different from everybody else, and America doesn't usually except new things. they want the pretty face with the catchy songs. But Josiah is so much more than that. His singing doesn't always sound so good, but he is pouring his heart and soul out and I firmly beleive that he is not in it for the money, that he genuinly wants to help people. I just hope that he never gives up his dream and that people will accept his raw emotion rather than getting intimidated by it and pushing it away. |

This is just how I heard the song. I'm not really sure about those lines myself, but that's what it sounded like- so i just posted it. If you can think of anything else it could be, I'll change it. He uses kind of a wierd form for this song; two verses, bridge, and then the refrain twice. But its amazing how well he makes it work and how beautifully it flows. This is my favorite of his... for now anyway. |

Calender girl- The lines "I'll pull the stars right out of space load them in my pistol make the world a better place" could refer to suicide. He could be saying that he has no place in this world, and that it would be better without out him. That interpretation would make sense, but I think that he is saying "someday i'll split that skyline." That he needs to break free from the rules set by society and make some drastic changes on the world. But make sense, but I think the second fits into the theme of the song better. |

I see what you mean, calendar girl. I also noticed some lyrics that fit into your take on the song that you left out. I'm not nearly as good as expressing thoughts as you are, but I'll try... "all the mistakes that we swore we'd never make" refers to what you were saying about how the couple (Josiah and his girlfriend) were convinvced that they were different from everyone else. That is where "oh how i've seen this, i've seen it before." They've seen others break up, but never thought that they would ever come to that point. And then "how it could end this way" is him saying "and yet we ended up excatly like them anyway." I think that "how we were forgot, but never forgave" is about the lovers eventually drifting out of eachothers mind, and yet they still uncounsiously blame the other for the pain of the past that they have never let go of. You did a really good job on the verses; thanks for sharing you interpertaion! |
