The Heavy – Short Change Hero Lyrics 14 years ago
I like that interpretation MKN, but this song needs more than one comment, so here's my take.

I think this song is about a person who most people would consider to be a hero. The author seems to know this person personally, and knows that the hero is not as perfect as most people think. Despite this, they will forgive the hero for there shortcommings.

By the way, this is the theme for Strike Back. I think that it is appropriate because the two main characters fit this interpretation(also the song just sounds awesome). They are certainly heroic in their mission, but they are by no means perfect and 100% wholesome like some of the other people that are thought of as heroes. Despite this, you still root for them because the situation that they are in is really no place for a wholesome goody goody hero.

Alkaline Trio – This Addiction Lyrics 16 years ago
Awesome song!

My first thought is that Matt is singing about an old girlfriend that he got back together with. He is comparing his deisre for this woman to a heroine addicts need to use heroine. He says that he once tried to kick the addiction or end the relationship, but it doesn't sound like that worked out for him.

Anyone else got anything better? I bet there is more to this song than I am seeing since its ALK3 after all.
