| Atmosphere – The Waitress Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The Waitress is his daughter, yet through the bad decisions in his life, walking out early and what not, she does not recognize him. Now close to death as an old hobbo, the bum realizes what he threw away, what he has lost and everyday he goes to her work to see her, the only reason he visits. Slug attempts to confuse the listerner, thinking the bum is actually inlove with this waitress, however the plot of the song is revealed with "I should have been a better father to my daughter" Meaning that, maybe she wouldn't glare at him, or tell him to get lost if she knew who he was and loved him, maybe she wouldn't be working as a waitress if he was a better father to her. A sense of guilt is evident in this song, making it very very sad. |

| Atmosphere – In Her Music Box Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Song is about the relationship between a father and his daughter. The lyrics show a Drug dealing father, well liked within his neighborhood "But at the car wash they treat him like the star that she sees" however he has legal troubles as he is always seen with his Lawyer, combating the Police. " The guy with the suit and tie they see at the court And it seems like he ain't tryin to talk to police" The evidence towards him being a drug dealer, is the reference to "Daddy's office" meaning he does his income making within the refines of his car, typical of a drug dealer. Matching up with several references to smoking weed. What the Artists, Slug is trying to convey is that the innocence of a young child under the constant bombardment of a societies view of negativity such as Drug dealing, law suits, unhealthy diet etc, can escape these negative features of life within the music box "Car Radio" she feels safe within the music, lost in her own world and instead of rebelling against the cruel life her father makes her live, Her special treatment of her; " And the lollipop she gets makes her feel like a big deal Not allowed to have it yet, gotta sit still Like the toy that she knows is gonna come with the kids meal She loves drive-thru food Health conscious Dad, he buys her the juice A little sip of soda builds the pride" In essence, Music can be the sole solver of harships in life, through music she sees her dad as a star, and the main man in her life. Through music she is safe. |
