Crime in Stereo – Drugwolf Lyrics 15 years ago
If you bought the album instead of pirating it you would have the real lyrics right in front of you.

You called to say you're going away
Speak in code our voices shake
The pigs are much more clever
Than we ever would've thought
You call to say they're on their way
The lines are tapped
Nothing here is safe
Just get out of Gotham
All these cops want to bring us down

Open up your mouth
Sing out
Create a good space
For the sound
I swear I swore you off forever
Then you come around
This love is going to drag us down

Clicks betray the call's been traced
Lines collapse the static breaks
Connection left us severed
I stretch my limbs across
You call to say the anchor weighs
The ocean down to control the waves
I'm getting out of Gotham
All these cops are starting to bring me down

We're better off alone together
We're better off alone together
All this getting brings us
down

Open up your mouth
Sing out
Create a good space
For the sound
I swear I swore you off forever
Then you come around
This love is going to drag us down

This song is about being on the receiving end of a drug sting.

Why is this song on the Circa Survive album of the same name that I'm listening to right now then?

Crime in Stereo – Vicious Teeth Lyrics 16 years ago
This seems to about the couples that build relationships around double lives. Each spouse directing a completely false persona in an effort to maintain their safe and secure routine and not have to face the reality of their hollow existence.

Crime in Stereo – Sleeping Androids Do Dream Electric Sheep Lyrics 16 years ago
This seems to be about the years after high school, when a person has to move into adulthood.

These are the years that scatter the young
The young into doctors and drunks

Kinda a comment on the different paths people take once they get out of high school.

Anywhere in bands
We're gone once the summer hits
Gone to feel the elegance
Of fuel and transit and sleep
And the terror of streets as the rumble strips breathe deep

This seems to be when the band was formed, if I read the song right. He's contrasting his life and his path to some of the other people he knows back home.

Crime in Stereo – Abre Los Ojos Lyrics 16 years ago
You can see the state getting armed for the new class war

...And he references several weapons the state uses in this class war; gun control, religion, economics and the war on drugs (among others). This is a warning us the the government's intentions when they are trying to ratchet up the fear factor of one thing or the other. They have far darker intentions

Crime in Stereo – Here's To Things Gone Wrong Lyrics 16 years ago
Seems to me this is about that period in life after a person turns 21 where they're going and getting plastered at bars and running into people they knew or semi-knew in high school. He also seems to kinda be addressing the bar scene in general, fighting and hooking up with random people at the end of the night. I dunno. I could be wrong.

Crime in Stereo – Sudan Lyrics 16 years ago
I think I have this one figured out. The island that is referenced in Long Island, the band's home. Basically what I think he's describing here is a girl who simply can't take another day of the stagnant suburbs of Long Island. So she drops everything and simply takes off. This seems to be written as her justification of leaving her life in Long Island and starting anew.

Crime in Stereo – Small Skeletal Lyrics 16 years ago
Free cigarettes
For all the kids
To make small skeletons

This seems to me to be a reference to the next generation of smokers. Youth smoking is known to stunt growth.
