| Funeral for a Friend – Old Hymns Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
My interpretation is that it's not about a relationship, at least not a romantic relationship. I think this is about the band's relationship within itself, and then with their fans who have abandoned them or wrote them off over the years. "Old Hymns" is a reference to their early-work, because fans are always holding "Casually Dressed..." up as their career highlight, particularly as benchmark that their others albums don't quite live up to. It is also when the band were at their most popular. "You're thinking, thinking what the fuck happened to me." as in, what happened to Funeral for a Friend; their sound did change a bit over the years, and people (including myself) still go on about the 'old' FFAF. What really convinced me, though, is the closing sentiments of: "I used to mean something to you, But now I'm tired and alone. I used to mean something to you, Locked out and left here in the cold." saying that, in their early days, FFAF used to mean something to a lot of people - they were very popular in their heyday - however, they are now less popular and those fans have abandoned them, or, metaphorically speaking, left them out in the cold. The "tired and alone" line really hits hard everytime I hear it, because I think this isn't just a reference to the fans, but also the band members. I associate that line with the earlier references to drinking instead of dealing with problems - problems which may have eventually led to the departure of two members. It's definitely Matt's most emotional vocal performance on the album, and I think when you look at it from this perspective you can understand why. The two last verses are the best Matt has sounded in years, in my opinion. |

| Balance And Composure – I Tore You Apart In My Head Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I tore you apart in my head, locked up in my room again. Left you for broken, gave air you were choking but you got high with all your friends. And that's when I knew you were dead, a haunting reminder of when, I swallowed my own eyes to see what was inside, you broke me with your ignorance. I can't believe, in what you're telling me. I'd like to breathe. Oh my god don't lose hope for me. I'm curious, I ask only questions. Ear to the floor, every night I listen. I can't tell if you're being obvious. But I hear only nothing. Is that what you are to us? It's silent. Hate in these veins all again. But all that it leads to is sin. Fuck what you told me, it all leads to smoking, alone in my room in the end. And that's when I knew I was dead. Worried sick from all that you said. Thank god that I'm leaving, all your deceiving you broke me with your ignorance. Can't see past the bright light. Hope in the sky. Never got it quite right. Never know never try. |

| Balance And Composure – Stone Hands Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Don't say goodbye to me too fast. Even though I'm fast asleep. Try your best to hold onto the past. You wasted it all on me. They chase us around all the hallways and sometimes I swear that I see. Know that I'm hear for you always. A ghost of you and me. I know you've got hands of stone, crush everything I've ever known including my bones when you left home for the unknown. |

| Balance And Composure – Void Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Found out everyone is shallow. No depth the ugly seem to follow. The blinded. Void. Gaping hole. Weed out, weed out the visions you saw. Speak out, speak out you talk for us all. Shut out the weakness you brought. All said and all done, all said and all done, I know. Weak can never run, She cannot run and go. Let it all out, let it all out and show. All said and all done, all said and all done she knows. |

| mewithoutYou – O, Porcupine Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
"you know you haven't once looked at me with kindness in your eyes and you say Judas is a brother of mine?" I interpreted this line as someone is accusing him of lacking in faith, yet the accuser hasn't heeded His message of love and forgiveness, hence the question mark. Almost like he's saying "you don't treat me with love and compassion, and you dare say Judas is a brother of MINE?" |

| Cheers. Initially I couldn't tell if it was fuck or fork, but I just listened to some acoustic versions and he definitely says "fuck". | |
| The Gay Blades – Puppy Mills Presents Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I've got to brainstorm ways to keep us alive and I've got millionaire friends sending checks all of the time and with a milk box portrait blown up poster size well I might have found a way to keep some hope in their eyes we could pan handle on the side of the street in hopes of finding money and food for us to eat I could sell your body and you could sell mine if only we could find somebody to buy, it's over. well we could find God and join a seminary if I was Father Clark then I'd be Father Puppy After all God pays pretty well, We could pay off all the kids to show and never tell We could get a job making $5.25 or $5.15 depending on which side of the state-line, on which we reside I've got to brainstorm ways to keep us alive I was drunk in the moment you left me and I'm surely still falling down stairs she says "baby don't bother, I've fallen for another and I ain't getting up again" well I've found myself back where I started and I've found myself one more good line she says "baby don't bother, you ain't never been a father of an idea worth calling 'alright'" ooh la la Remember those guys who lived under the bridge they were a band once but we all soon forgot how the Gay Blades fell on hard times and slit wrists they've got no fucking money, cause they could not write the they would not write the they could write they would not they could not write they would not write the hits. I'm fairly certain they are the correct lyrics :) |
