This part is wrong: i've got to take what i'm making and turn it into something i've got to take what i'm making and turn it into something for you i've got to break what i'm making and turn it into something i've got to break what i'm making and turn it into something for you it should say 'ive got to take what I'm making and turn it into something...' and then should say 'i've got to take what I'm breaking and turn it into Nothing...' Anyway, this could be totally off base, but I think in this part he might be talking about all of the things people do either for God/in the name of God, or for their dad/mom/parents in general, rather than for themselves. In particular, when I hear this part I think of all of the monuments, paintings, churches, etc, built as a tribute to God or for his glory, etc., as well as all of the wars that were waged and people killed in 'the name of God' (really in the name of religion). I think especially given his upbringing, he may be pointing to how foolish it can be to do extreme things (either good or bad) in the name of god/someone else, and letting someone else be in control of your life/actions. Let me know what you think; I don't know much about religion, so any input may help clarify this for me. Thanks! |

(Didn't read all of the comments, so sorry if this was already addressed) As far as what is being whispered in the background during the interlude towards the end of the song: 'Apparently Dave scrambled three audio tracks together so as to distort what you, the listener, hear. To this date, no one has been able to decipher exactly what is being said, but we do know that one track is a love letter being read, one track is a technical manual being read, and the last track is a story about one of the studio technician's father.' That's supposedly it. These are supposed to be the Studio Technician's story about his father: "So dad would take the sunday's off and that's the only time he could ever get any rest and so if we were loud on sundays he'd make us hold his construction suits over our head till we'd sleep and they were really heavy and it only had one sleeve but we'd start crying because it's too heavy...so" and this is supposed to be what the love letter or whatever is saying: "Sometimes in life we wander aimlessly, Searching for a purpose, searching for ourselves. And yet, sometimes in life, we are so oblivious to the obvious Because everything is right in front of us And we're missing the point of living We're missing the point of living" If anyone can confirm or deny, that would be great.. as for what is being said in terms of the instruction manual--does anyone have a clue in that department? I'd like to know all 3. |

In the second chorus, when Billy is singing 'love is suicide', this is what is being spoken in the background: destroy / despise / distrust / disobey / destroy / distrust / disloyal / disarm / destroy / despise / dissect / deny / destroy / despise / distrust |
