| Across Five Aprils – Tallahassee's for Hookers Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This and life underwater still amaze me even for liking the old style more. There's this one song of Life Underwater that has the most trance style, gnarly fucking chorus. Lyrically not as inclined, but musically orgasmic. haha. i said orgasm. haha. | |
| Thrice – Red Sky Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I haven't finished up V yet, but I'm concluding the fact that it must be portraying a sea monster: "I know what lies beneath. I've seen the flash of teeth." But I shouldn't count on it because again, I still have to read the rest. Has anyone read Thomas Pynchon's "V" that can give me a hint, or just tell that I'm not quite catching on? | |

I strongly agree with Gorftor. Its upsetting to see how people try to conjure up as many ways as they can to eliminate the clear fact that Dustin's lyrical mechanics often coincide with his Christian believes. I believe this song was intended to spark different interpretations, and at the same time portray Dustin's love for Christianity. "If I speak in the tounges of men and of angels, but not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing." -1 Corinthians 13:1-3 I know all of you have seen this reference before and at this point are sick of seeing it, but this correlation is too coincidental to be denied. Dustin is just a normal lyricist who has an intelligent way to explain the ways that he constantly questions his own beliefs. The only smart way to follow a specific task or belief is through deep comprehension of that knowledge. We should be accepting towards every belief because thats how we gain knowledge. I'm not trying to sound like I'm a know it all because a high percentage of users on this message board are a fuck ton smarter than I am. I just think its beautiful how Dustin motivates his listeners and how Thrice's music has always met the diversity of genres in which I enjoy listening to. For this I love Thrice, and they will always be an inspiration. If I ever get a chance to meet the members, (which I'm sure many of you have had the opportunity to do so), I would simply thank him for all of the confidence he and his band mates have given me for the way I express myself through music. I'm not sucking his dick or anything, but envy of ones artistic abilities and not their character is not a sin in my book. All i have left to say is that Dustin has taught me to believe what I believe is what I most strongly believe in. "And all other things shall fade away." |
