Chevelle – Jars Lyrics 16 years ago
Heh I suck at this whole posting thing... I accidentally replied to someone elses post.

Is there any way to delete posts?

I've been listening to this song for the last few days. Here's my take on the meaning and lyrics:

hold
onto chance
lest we bleed ourself
then save
for the past
there the loneliest
(people always leave things up to other people to handle (hold on to chance), because getting involved is too much work (lest we bleed ourselves))

put into jars
we'll save this earth
into jars
we'll save this earth
(he points out what is really happening in a satirical manner)

we can't both become the same
pawn that's made to fall
oil that tastes like blood
stone sour scent
(people generally feel like bad things only happen to other people (we can't both become the same pawn that's meant to fall), not them)
from me to you
you're stabbing me through you
you're stabbing you through him
and betting most of this world
we'll add enough of the world.
(songwriter points out that we're only hurting ourselves by turning a blind eye)

steal from yourselves
it never felt so good
collect feed from the hand
confused by opposites
(We listen to what people say but don't do anything about it (collect feed from the hand). we are only hurting ourselves. people in general are ignorant.)

put into jars
we'll save this earth
into jars
keep safe this earth

we can't both become the same
pawn that's meant to fall
oil that tastes like blood
stone sour scent
from me to you
you're stabbing me through you
you're stabbing you through him
and betting most of this world

we'll add enough of the world
this world
we'll add enough of the world

feeling manic for a day
depends on the trend
depends on the surface
if the sun never sets
(songwriter points out that people always have an excuse as to why 'now' is not a good time and give an unrealistic set of criteria of when they are able to help)

we can't both become the same
pawn that's made to fall
oil that tastes like blood
stone sour scent
from me to you
you're stabbing me through you
you're stabbing you through him
and betting most of this world

we'll add enough of the world
is the main thing you'll shout
till the bitter end
(people keep saying 'everything is ok' even when it's not)

Regardless of your take on the lyrics and song meaning, it's a great song!
