| Pierce the Veil – Hold On Till May Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Vic told us about this song when I was them live last night. He said that he dated a girl who used to run away from home and hide out in a tree at the end of her garden and wait for her parents to look for her, but they didn't care enough to bother, so she kept leaving for a while, but they never noticed and never tried to find her. | |

| Hanns Jones and Gina Rue both survived the jump, with multiple injuries of course, but...I suppose that's a lot better than a higher death toll. | |
| La Dispute – All Our Bruised Bodies and the Whole Heart Shrinks Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This song seems to be a summary of the Wildlife album. songs like A Letter and A Poem seem to be the writer showing how he's unable to let himself recover. "She lost her kid, only seven, to cancer. She answered with faith in her god and carried on" is relating to I See Everything, and how the mother recovered, keeping her faith that God was doing the right thing, instead of turning bitter and losing her faith over her son losing his battle. "While he was attacked by his son and was stabbed in his stomach and his back and his arms. He showed me scars." relates to Edward Benz, 27 Times. The rest of this song is pretty self-explanatory. We'll all suffer at one point in our lives, some worse than others, it will all be part of our story. It's up to us to allow ourselves to recover from it. I think the song's also telling us not to hide things away. To tell people more about ourselves, even if it will make you come across as weak. If you tell people, even if it's just one person, there's then someone who knows more about how your mind works and can then help you better than anyone else could. This is a long, rambly comment, but that's what I see in this song. | |
| La Dispute – King Park Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This song is one of the most powerful I've ever heard. It's just...gripping. It forces you to listen, cling to every word, go into a trance. At the end where it builds up, it's almost impossible to not become a little shaken by it. The sound of the gun loading at the end of the song after he's left, if you're one of the people who have taken note of it, is enough to be close to shocking. They must have put so much thought into this to make it able to have this intense effect on the listeners, and must be not only musically, but psychologically talented. | |
| Young Guns – Stitches Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Every hour is a season Every minute lasts a day" I think that might mean the person is trapped, nothing to do but count the seconds. "So I sit here picking stitches I find comfort in decay How I long to fill my lungs" Perhaps where he is, he gets hurt bad enough for the harmer to give him stitches. Everything is decaying around him, but he's fine with it now, and it's better to decay than get better. But he's still feeling trapped, and wants to be free. "Tell me how does it feel to breathe air cold and clean? Cause I�ve been living on my knees Since I was seventeen Thought I was safe beneath the smoke But even under cover I still choke" He hasn't been allowed out since he was seventeen. He's been in the same place, nothing fresh or new. Where he is, he's sheltered from everything, but all the sheltering is smothering him. "Well my wings were clipped and even if they weren�t I�ve not the guts to fly and leave behind the earth There�s no poetry in my soul Just a list of lies I�ve told And I don�t know how much longer I can hold on" He's trapped where his is, like birds are when their wings are clipped. If he wasn't trapped he still wouldn't set himself free and get away. There's nothing pretty in his soul, and the lies could be the ones he's told people in the past. Thinks like saying he was okay, and everything was fine. He doesn't know how long he can hold on to maybe his sanity, or his life. Just what I think about the song. :) |
