| Built to Spill – Israel's Song Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song could be about Daniel Johns, frontman for the band Silverchair. When his band Silverchair came out in 1995, he was only 15 ("a boy"). Their biggest song was called "Tomorrow" but the first song of their debut album that was somewhat popular was called "Israel's Son." I don't think Daniel Johns "became normal" then, but since his band was very Nirvana-like and came out following the death of Kurt Cobain, he definitely could have "pushed the world he knew." Silverchair was Australian grunge. |

I think in the beginning of the song he's talking about he's talking about the legitimacy of the punk state-of-mind he is in. It's kind of like coming to terms with things and even though he may seem dramatic about his life or cause ("saying that my city's burning," "saying that my people are crying"), it's really not as legit as it seems ("only leaves are burning," "I'd be posing, I'd be lying"). In the 2nd half of the song he just seems realistic about his situation. He's realizing that he feels rejected and hates everyone at the same time ("I�m feeling rejected I�m feeling left out I kinda hate your guts but I wanna have friends"), and part of him does want to "feel good, even if you pretend." |
