| Jimmy Eat World – Cut Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| refer yourself to an interview Jimmy Eat World did about Invented. The reason they chose the title "Invented" for the album is because that's exactly what it is. The emotions expressed in these songs were not directly experienced by the band members. The reason this is unique is because the exact opposite happened with their darker albums, such as Futures. When they wrote Futures, JEW was in a very dark place and the members were dealing with some very heavy situations. This, however sad, allowed them to write some very emotional, very profound, and very sincere work. On the other hand, The members of JEW were very happy and content with where they were in life when they wrote Invented. Jim didn't want to write about depressing experiences as if they were his own, when they weren't. So what did he do? He turned to art. Jim Adkins took a few of his favorite artworks from his favorite artists, and analyzed them. He chose 11, to be exact, one for every song on the album. Jim sat down and wrote out an entire background story to every painting and/or photograph. He used these created background stories to draw the inspiration to write the songs about them. Thus, the songs truly were "invented", yet still retained that authentic emotional perspective. Knowing this, I find it hard to believe JEW is saying this is their last album. | |

One correction to these lyrics. As written in the album booklet, the line is: "I know I shouldn't think" not "I know I shouldn't" a small correction, but one nonetheless. |

| Jimmy Eat World – My Best Theory Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
These lyric corrections are straight from the album booklet itself: "I see a warm face with a soft mouth" - not "your warm face with the soft mouth" "Stand up as they bend, reaching" - there's a comma in between bend and reaching. Not a big correction by any means. "My Best Theory?" - there is a question mark after this line. This, I think, adds some depth to the meaning of the line. "It's already in me." - instead of "My best theory is already in me." they're two different sentences. like a question-answer. "By dowsing find my true design?" - again a question mark at the end, and no comma between "dowsing" and "find" "My flag?" - a question. "My appetite?" - another question. that's it! sorry i just recieved the album in the mail today (a day before it officially comes out, might I add) and i felt like making sure the lyrics were all perfect! |

Not a big one, but as written in their album booklet, the correct line is: "The good word seems everywhere" "word" is singular, not plural. Thus, it becomes apparent that he's talking about The Christian faith and the story of Jesus Christ, which is know as "The Good Word" |
