Songs can mean various, and extremely different things to individual people. In my opinion, this song is about being the nice guy, the girls friend. That always wants to be with her, but just can't. She has a new boyfriend, a real one, that he can't get out of his head. I base this on two lines that really stand out, although I could name a few more. "cause i'm a watcher, and i'm a doer of none" And "i couldn't feel her, and it was just a game" Also "still i was lonely, and she was by my side, my one and only" He hates being the friend, but will tolerate it as long as her attention is on him. Romantic acts don't matter to him at this point, as long as noone else has her. "i am made of shamrocks, i am made of stern stuff" He's green with envy, but tough and won't let it show. "mary had a little lamb, her face was white as snow and everywhere that mary went i was sure to go" He followed her everywhere, total devotion. But none in return. "from one another, no one should ever come in between us, between us and our love" He can't take the thought of her with another guy. "and into the eyes of the jackyl i say ka-boom" The "jackyl" represents the "other guy". Finally, he can't take it anymore and decides to end her relationship, in any way possible. Again, this is just my opinion, and probably not what the actual song is about. |

Song is about the political environment in the United States. my right wing is flapping - Right wing "conservative" party of the US, spouts alot of rhetoric, "flapping". the left one is gray - Left wing "progressive" party of the US, claims to be for the people, especially the "minorities". But really just uses them to further their own goals. Hence, gray, not white and shiny as they like to make themselves appear. "let's hear it for the kids but nothing they say" - Politicians of both wings constantly claim to be "working for the children", but it's nothing but a ploy to get more votes. Nothing is ever actually done to improve the public schools, etc. This is quite visible in many of the comments on this site. they gyrate and G-rate on Election Day we got our ABC's and our F U C K - The kids don't care about the election, they've passed their standardized tests set before them by the politicians and have achieved their goal. When the bar is set that low, nothing but letting the government lead you like a shepard remains. - Alternatively, it could again be relating to the way the politicians splay themselves infront of the masses like great whores for votes on election day. The ABC, and F U C K being spelled out the way it is could be a reference to the massive amount of acronyms the politicians and government like to sling around. |
