| General Larry Platt – Pants on the Ground Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think this song means more than most people think. The lyrics... they're so deep, it hurts. "Pants on the ground, Pants on the ground, Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground!" This an obvious comparison that the General is making between pants and his heart. Since his heart has sunk so low to the ground, he feels like a fool for putting himself out there again. "With the gold in your mouth, Hat turned sideways, Pants hit the ground, Call yourself a cool cat, Lookin' like a fool, Walkin' downtown with your pants on the ground!" Mr.Platt didn't grow up in the best neighborhood. Now, though, he's seeing these people with "gold in their mouth" and is extremely confused and lost in life thinking about why people would put gold on top of their teeth. Again with the pants to heart metaphor, the General notices that a lot of people are broken hearted and are just walking around. He can compare to their feelings, as he too feels like a fool. By "call yourself a cool cat" he realizes that he and other people are trying to hide their feelings by putting it off as if they have so much confidence, in order to not look like the fool they feel like. "Get it up, hey! Get your pants off the ground, Lookin' like a fool, Walkin' talkin' with your pants on the ground. Get it up, hey! Get your pants off the ground, Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground!" When Larry says, "get it up!" he is encouraging everyone to get their heart off the ground and start feeling better about life and themselves. This song starts out with a heartbroken general, and we can go through his journey and in an a capella song of him growing up and realizing being positive is the only way to deal with things. How beautiful. HAHAHAHAH, naaah. Juss' kiddin' This song is cool, though. PANTS ON THE GROUND! |

I always thought it was "this is about ugly lovers. and this is about pretty SUNS" Like Ugly Lovers (the song) and Pretty Suns (talking shit about a pretty sunset) maybe I'm wrong. Who knows |

I definitely think this song is about being Bipolar. "This is the part of me that needs medication..." (etc.) is when you're depressed. You realize you're depressed and it's somewhat unbearable, and you feel medication is the only way to help. Then, when the song starts getting really upbeat, it describes a Bipolar person's mania perfectly. Totally manic and crazy and thinking nothing's wrong, and you just "don't know". You don't know why you're as happy (or manic/crazy) as you are at the moment, you just are. Your thoughts race and you're going 100 miles an hour. Then suddenly, you start to slow down again. Crash, almost. This is towards the ending of the song, when it starts to slow down again. You're just too low again. idk, that's how it is for me, and what I got out of the song. ha |

| I actually got a chance to talk Kori and Jason one-on-one after one of their shows back in '06, and I asked them specifically about this song, and it's meaning. Kori replied, "Well, actually, it's just a fun song for us and the lyrics rhymed and sounded pretty cool!" hahaha. | |
