| Brand New – Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| LoL i thought of that too. a younger guy who really wasn't ready to jump into sex, who gets manipulated by an older chick into having sex with her. the experience is so bad that he's pretty much scarred for life and goes on to have a series of really shitty realationships with women afterwards. totally plausible idea. | |

this is the song for every guy who gets how shitty women really are, even to those who try to pose and act like they don't. but whats even more awesome about is that it isn't mindless or at all without a sense of self betterment. the, And I... I am too fly and shy Too fly and high.. like no other guys. Too fly and shy just for you. I'm too fly and shy, and I'm like no other guy. I'm too fly and shy just for you. " is Daryl coming to the conclusion that he's better than the anger he portrays, because at the end of the day none of them are worth it. so he just says, "i'll mark you all" and goes about being himself. brutal honesty to convey a brutal truth. |

my interpretation of it is that its about putting all your trust, time, energy, devotion, and affection into someone who you ultimately realize only takes and never gives anything back, and that ultimately that person isn't worth a damn. "Serpentine regime ordered by response sort of fell this population". now to me this means women (LoL), but the "serpentine regime" are those who'd use others for their own gain to "fell this population", or make people harder to trust in life by proxy. the, "I'm sorry, we've never met, my name is driftwood. Thanks friend, good looking, I'll never see you again" is the other individual who simply uses others for their own benefit prior to abandoning them. Like a person who saves himself from drowning by clutching onto a piece of nearby driftwood, only to throw it away once that person reaches safety or something better to latch onto. The chorus itself could be a metaphor for a one sided friendship/relationshit, "you'd have only held the cup while I poured", meaning that you would only have let me put more and more of myself into you, while you gave absolutely nothing back. Theres plenty more that I could use in the lyrics to affirm my point, but thats the gist of what it means to me. most of the fun in Aesop's lyrics is deciphering what they mean, and analyzing what you come up with. reading between the lines is the best way to go about his stuff. next to nothing is ever direct, and everything is conveyed through stream of consciousness. |

christ! why does EVERY song that halfway mentions affection, closeness, or emotion of any sort HAVE to be some lame ass [LoVe] song about a guy getting sprung over some slut? it could very well be about anyone, guy or girl who Chino is close to. "i like you when you take your face off" is him talking about how he admires and respects the person for who they really are personally rather than the face they wear in front of others. you could take the "you could die if you do this alone" as a means of him saying he/she should never feel alone or isolated from his/her close friends. that even in the bleakest of circumstances he/she has people to rely on. I watch you taste it "I see your face, And I know I’m alive. You’re shooting stars. From the barrel of your eyes. And It drives me crazy, just drives me wild". could mean anything from him saying he appreciates the lust for life someone has, how their personality and desire to live inspires him to do the same, and how that person makes him impassioned at the fact he's alive. WHERE exactly is he writing "oh baby girl, you're my one and only, i [LoVe] you so much, blah blah something that ryhmes with heart and apart. some of you guys REALLY need to quit wading on the surface and trying to equate EVERY song you hear as some lame ass romance tune. there are far more targets and topics in the world than hearts, Cupid, and "relationshits"(no typo) people. |

i completely disagree with that one. its about someone who suffers from either a drug addiction or a terminal disease (hence all the references to chemicals, needles,poison, etc) and the guy is narrating his battle between indifference to his own situation, and how that indifference affects those he cares about. now there MAY be a girl whom he is talking about in particular, since theres the stanza or two talking about "her picture", but honestly that could be anyone (mother, grandmother, aunt, a best friend, etc). i hate that people ALWAYS try to equate lyrics that aren't obvious to some lame ass [LoVe] story, or about "a guy trying to impress/court/get back/ or mourn some female. i mean there are more topics in the world to talk about than relationshits people. LoL |
