Chevelle – Face to the Floor Lyrics 14 years ago
kaw4f is correct, this song is about Bernie Madoff and people wanting to punch him. The correct lyrics are as follows:

To pick up the tip doesn't mean a lot
Fiddle inside your drawers
If we own the night, then spread it out
Or pack up without a clue

Well...
Caused by their own
And by default
Time to vamonos

Like your face getting forced to the floor

Then I got a taste of the benefits
Five foot and change
There's no better way to hash it out
So let's set up your time to fail

Well...
Course now the cracks
Should we intervene?
I hold this albatross

Like your face getting forced to the floor
When either way, you're way too close to it all

Pay up, never wait 'em out
Clever Madoff, take it all
Take it all

Your...mouth...blessed
Take it all the way...right back down
Clue...less...mess

Pay up, never take it all
Take it all...

Like your face getting forced to the floor
(In a league of your own)
When either way, you're way too close to it all
(You cannot veto the world)

Like your face (like your face) getting forced (getting forced) to the floor
(In a league of your own)
When either way (either way) you're way too close to it all
To it all...

Chevelle – Shameful Metaphors Lyrics 16 years ago
This is an absolutely amazing song. I think it's about Pete fearing that his work has gone unappreciated and that he has failed to make an impact on the world because the thoughts that he has tried to relay through his lyrics have basically been lost in translation.

I think it goes back to some of the stuff in their second album, This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In).

Chevelle – Sleep Apnea Lyrics 16 years ago
The chorus is:

I gasp and hold me breath
These needs have chains so deep
To face you all the same
I've been awake for...

Also, in the second verse:

Eyes scorned from sleep apnea
A slight of tongue as the seas are emptied

Chevelle – Well Enough Alone Lyrics 16 years ago
Pete is not screaming 'sick' at the beginning, he is screaming 'sera' as in Vena Sera, the name of the album that this song is from. I believe it is about his brother Joe that left the band. By 'leaving well enough alone,' he is saying that they have gotten past the harsh feelings that initially surrounded Joe's departure from the band.
