To me it could be they're going into the forest in search of something and if they somehow fail, they want it destroyed. I imagine a torchlight falling on the forest floor and igniting it. This could even be the chronological beginning of the story if there is one... |

|
It's a lot easier if you don't presuppose that things happen for a reason. And if there is a reason it is not inherently known to us and one cannot live live according to its tenets. We're thrust into an absurd world with chaotic physicality, no meaning is given and none needs to be taken. But you can apply meaning to your own individual motion through life. |

I'd be surprised if this wasn't the whole album, it's cohesive, has end points, quite clearly not demos. Anything changed would be extremely last minute and likely wouldn't affect the album all that much I mean not everyone is going by the lyrics sheet, he most definitely says to hell most of the time if not the entire time. And I don't think it is at odds with the song at all. The rest of your interpretations are interesting thought. |

from the wiki: "The metaphor is also attributed to Jesus in the apocryphal Gospel of Thomas by comparing the dog with the Pharisees. In logom 102 Jesus states: Woe to them, the Pharisees! For they are like a dog sleeping in the manger of the cattle; for he neither eats, nor does he let the cattle eat." so we have a biblical reference, aswell. |

I'm kind of leaning towards "ruined on the maps" I enjoy your interpretations Arter. it was just the "stealing prosthetic limbs" part that made me think of it, the rest of the song not really. I like the "still in" better because it seems to make more sense, I'm not sure what "stealing prosthetic limbs" would mean really. But it could go either way. |
|
| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
it could totally go either way for 1, on 2 I definitely hear "our" though |
|
| Brand New – Vices Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I didn't really come up with much, that verse was mostly done by laces0utalex, and midkay's Dog in the Manger thing up there works aswell. It's so ambiguous | |
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
lol, it could honestly go either way. I really don't hear "out" during any of the iterations, maybe I can hear "Ou" but then it just trails off. Both times in the chorus sound exactly the same. Not only does it sound like "Hell," it fits the song better to me, aswell. The story in this song isn't hopeful or redemptive. The last couple of verses are brutal in their attitude. Coupled with the amount of religious references in the entire album we have a pretty convincing case. "Out" implies escape from the troubles he's facing, but the song doesn't really relate that. He's trying, but it's just not working. That said, it could alternate or be out/down/hell or something completely different. But anytime we examine lyrics we have to ask ourselves what does it sound like aswell as what it could mean. |

Also tracks like this in the intro/outro add atmosphere, accentuate contrasts, and generally give the album a tighter feel. It's these things that lead to a better album and not just songs that are thrown together. |
|
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
it sounds slightly off if I substitute "down/out" for "hell" at any point in the song. The end of the phrase sounds like an open vowel sound. Either he is saying those other words and it gets lost in the mix or he has very bad articulation. |

| Brand New – In a Jar Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Considering most of the song has relation to biblical concepts and the word stones appears a lot in the bible, probably so. But I haven't found any specific verses. I just took it to refer to people who find sin in everything, judging and wanting to punish sinners, i.e. casting stones. The first verse implies to me those who take the world for granted and not willing to see the world for what it really is. The comments about the Allegory of the Cave are spot on. "created nothing," parallel to creation, people who put faith in the Lord should be doing good works in his name. "Electric kite" refers to decrying advancement, but then hitching on to all of its successes. The rooster crowing is a reference to Peter's denial of Christ, then reaffirming his faith and being a support for others. "Too many saviors," taking too many people as prophets/martyrs, like evangelists and what not. The negative kind of these people hammer on ideas of how terrible we as humans are" Oyster with a grain of sand," everyone's got the potential to do beautiful and miraculous works, when we figure out the last line on this verse it'll help The chorus sections would probably shed some more light on the subject. Some ideas to think about. |

The song In a Jar has a direct quote from Nahum 2:4, the surrounding passages seem to have an influence in this song aswell. 3The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken. 4The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings. 5He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared. |

The Archers Bows Have Broken Who do you carry that torch for, my young man? Do you believe in anything? Or do you carry it around just to burn things down? Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling, cause we believe in everything. If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown, so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now with our God who we found laying under the back seat. What did you learn tonight? You're shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing. You're a voice that never sings, is what i say. You are freezing over hell You are bringing on the end you do so well You can only blame yourself, is what is say. Oh, order your daughters to ignore me think that will sort me? and sweep me under the rug? while you're beating with a book everyone that book tells you to love. Oh, there is an ember in the heart of the kiln and it's burning hot with love. Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust, Rolling me with care into your cigarette Cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail. What did you learn tonight? You're shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing. You're a voice that never sings, is what i say. You are freezing over hell. You are bringing on the end you do so well You can only blame yourself, is what i say. Who do you carry that torch for, my young man? Do you believe in anything, Do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground? What did you learn tonight? While shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing. You're a voice that never sings, is what i say. You are freezing over hell. You are bringing on the end you do so well You can only blame yourself, is what i say. *What did you learn tonight? While shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing. You're a voice that never sings, is what i say. You are freezing over hell. You are bringing on the end you do so well You can only blame yourself, is what i say.

Do you really think you're really a part of it? And is your army really one of some thousands? And will you declare war on the loony bin?) You're born blind but you're running Our feet are slipping in alkali I can't shake this little feeling I'll never get anything right Goodbye you liar Well, you sipped from her cup But you don't own up to anything Then you think you will inspire (When I arrive will God be waiting and pacing around his throne? Will he feel a little Old Testament? And will he celebrate with fire and brimstone Yeah, I admit, I am afraid of the reckoning) Take apart your head (And I wish I could inspire) Take apart the demon up in the attic to the left Goodbye my love You wait right here, and they will come and pick you up I've been on pause But I’m shaking off the rust I’ve lost my charge I've been degaussed I've been degaussed I've been degaussed You born blind but you're running Our feet are slipping in alkali I can't shake this little feeling I'll never say anything right I'm on my own I'll never say anything right I'm on my own I'll never say anything right I'm on my own I'll never say anything right...

I won’t know anyone Well, Jesus Christ, I’m alone again So what did you do those three days you were dead? 'Cause this problems gonna last More than the weekend Well, Jesus Christ I’m not scared to die But I’m a little bit scared of what comes after Do I get the gold chariot, Do I float through the ceiling? Do I... divide... and pull apart 'Cause my bright... is too slight... to hold back all my dark And this ship... went down... in sight of land And at the gates... does Thomas... ask to see my hands? I know you're coming in the night like a thief* But I’ve had some time, O Lord, to hone my lying technique I know you think that I’m someone you can trust But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up So do you think that we could work out a sign So I’ll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try I know you're coming for the people like me But we all got wood and nails And we turn-turn out hate in factories We all got wood and nails We turn-turn out hate in factories We all got wood and nails And we sleep inside of this machine *[So throw your tongue in mine, I know it's so hard breathing in alone, and you were right, I know I said you were wrong.

Sitting duck makes more sense for the rhyme structure, and also for the meaning of the phrases. "I'm on my way to Hell" makes more sense thematically, and two hard syllables at the end there. Pedantic, but there aren't s's on time and it's just try. Noro Little light, lead us through the night, and if we die, burn down the forest. Chariots, carry us, distances we don't care to walk. I'm on my way to Hell Why doesn't anyone I know sleep? Are they all just scared of their dreams? When they lay their heads down at night what are they haunted by? Why won't anyone just close their eyes? Could it hurt them to rest for a while? Do they need their friends to be a lover? or a lover to be a friend? Because I'm on my way to Hell. Well, I try, God knows that I try. I'm on my way to Hell. One time, Two time, Three time, again. Sitting duck, running out of luck and our car's stuck on the train crossing. How am I ever gonna know peace? how will I ever see the light through the trees? I want to burn down everything we've begun, I want to kill and eat my young. Because I'm on my way to Hell. Well, I try, God knows that I try. I'm on my way to Hell. One time, Two time, Three time, again. I'm on my way to Hell. Well, I try, God knows that I try. I'm on my way to Hell. One time, Two time, Three time, again. I'm on my way to Hell. I'm on my way to Hell. I'm on my way to Hell. I'm on my way to Hell. "All times cloudy is the rain, but today then back comes me Out my wandering heart is lord On some [by- something] far from thee Father when my footsteps stray, guide me back into the way.

My eyes are lungs, I'm a prophet and I speak in tongues I know how you'll die. Your sister groans, Oh, usurper to the holy throne. To me she's just a dead spy. Laid her on the bed. Laid her on the bed. Laid her on the bed. Lie to all your friends. Lie to all your friends. Lie to all your friends. Lie to all your friends. I don't know what you feel like. Ambushed on the road, stole your gold, you're a rose, and you're laughing now. Everything that I own, starts to pile up like bones, make the walls of a prison. Laid her on the bed. Laid her on the bed. I don't ever want to go to bed, You stay up for the fight. The champ goes down like a clown In the second round. I wish we'd had a better goodbye. Lie to all your friends. Lie to all your friends. Lie to all your friends. Lie to all your friends. Lie to all your friends. Lie to all your friends. Lie to all your friends. Laid her on the bed. Laid her on the bed.

little cities names are written(sounds like an r sound followed by oo-ned, but not really like ruined...) on the maps "Tired of the hive" sounds about right. I think it's definitely a "for" before violence/violins, which I'm pretty sure he pronounces as "violins". "Down in/Downing 'Jersey' lumber" For some reason the last verse is hard to parse, but I believe it's actually something like this, especially juxtaposed with one of the acoustic versions. "Somehow I was new and everything was unsaid, I go and buy a hammer, never sing again." |

Pretty sure I have most of the clearly audible parts right. The kid speaking sounds sort of lie that but I can't make it out and the last of it doesn't sound like dream, it ends with a t-ish sound. But it might just be bad kid articulation. Can anyone make out what the backing verse is over the last two stanzas? Daisy "And we sing this morning, that wonderful and grand old message. And I don't know about you but I never get tired of it. Number Ninety-Nine, 'Just As I Am'" I'm a mountain that has been moved. I'm a river that is all dried up. I'm an ocean nothing floats on. I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in. I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot. I'm a moon that never shows it's face. I'm a mouth that doesn't smile. I'm a word that no one ever wants to say. "My [], he wasn't finding anybody when he was on his shelf. I saw him []" I'm a mountain that has been moved. I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run. I'm a preacher with no pulpit, spewing a sermon that goes on and on and on... Well if we take all these things and we bury them fast and we'll pray that they turn to seeds, to roots,and then grass it'd be alright. It's alright, It'd easier that way. Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain like they knew he was trying to start things over again it'd be alright. It's alright, It'd easier that way.

You basically nailed it, ... I don't want to let you go, but it hurts my hands to hold the rope. I won't be such an easy mark, You're no better than they say! And all the candles on the cake All set fire to the gate. Turn the cannons towards the boat Men were drowning in the moat! It was the end of all the rowers oars! If you call then I'm coming to get you. If you call then I'm coming, now. If you call then I'm coming to get you. But you want to sink, so I'm gonna let you. All I want's some earth and seed to only grow the things I need But first I must find my way back And you go lay down on the track! At first I had an even keel But now I'm not sure what is real. It's taken me this long to learn That every day is ate by worms, And once they're gone they don't return! If you call then I'm coming to get you. If you call then I'm coming, now. If you call then I'm coming to get you. But you want to sink, so I'm gonna let you. I'm coming to get you. If you call then I'm coming to get you. If you call then I'm coming to get you. But you want to sink, so I'm gonna let you. Then the fire snuck into your bedroom, now I'm falling asleep to forget you. How darkly the dark hand met his end. He was withered and bony, exposed for a phony. But we heed the last words that he penned, "Haste to disgrace the traitor. Do not wait till later." I don't think that you've got to pretend, I see God in birds and Satan in long words. But I know what you need in a friend. So now when I leave you, I hope I won't see you. How darkly the dark hand met his end. He was withered and bony, exposed for a phony. But we heed the last words that he penned, "Haste to disgrace the traitor. Do not wait till later." If you call then I'm coming to get you. If you call then I'm coming, now. If you call then I'm coming to get you. But you want to sink, so I'm gonna let you. I'm coming to get you. If you call then I'm coming to get you. If you call then I'm coming to get you. But you want to sink, so I'm gonna let you. Then the fire snuck into your bedroom, now I'm falling asleep to forget you. ... The screamed words are probably not too accurate and I went with the suggestions everyone offered fixed spelling and such switched dead to day, I don't really hear a hard end to that word, but it's weird because that's not grammatical either, who knows. |

| Brand New – Gasoline Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I agree^ Gasoline So you tried to put a fire out, but you used gasoline. When the congregation gathered round, you're screaming it wasn’t me. So there’s a sickness that is going round, but no one’s got a vaccine. I think I'd drown holy water, I think it’s time we all come clean. I swear it’s like dying to catch a ghost, it feels like I’m trying to hold smoke. I swear it's like dying to catch a ghost, It’s feels like I’m trying to hold smoke. (Ahhh) When the army had to hold the line, well, you were nowhere near the front; Before the kids could tell the dog goodbye, well, you were loading up your gun. I want to know where there's a great divide, I want to know what I’ve become. You think that no one else is lonesome. You think that you’re the only one. It feels like I’m jumping towards a train, It feels like I’m jumping towards a train. We all try to fake a way! It feels like I’m jumping towards a train, It feels like I’m jumping towards a train. We all try to fake a way! ... Honestly I'm not sure on the: what comes before drown the great divide line and the "We all try to fake a way!" but that's about as close as I can make out |
