| The Receiving End Of Sirens – Planning A Prison Break Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Okay so I don't usually comment here, but I have to add my two cents: I think you guys may be digging a little too deep. I think the song is using the prison escape to express escaping from a relationship. The other explanations seem viable but not practical to me, especially for the genre of music. So, if you think about escaping a prison, it's pretty easy to compare that to a relationship and getting out of one. To start, I think the warden is himself. And I think the 'Lockdown' is the breakup. Which he wants, he's calling. And put in simpler terms 'interim inequities' would mean, simply, unfairness in the duration of a period of time, e.g. that's his reason. 'This is the last night in my body' wholly applies to this context if you ask me, as well as the context that came from that earlier post about how this line came about from the drummer. I'm going to have to say the first verse after the chorus is saying this person basically fell in love against his will and before he realized how committed he was, could just just leave if he wanted. But to me that's all supporting information, what really gives it away to me is: "Make a clean getaway," he said, With his hands outstretched To nurse her neck She lured him in with a masochistic kiss And he wished he could be anywhere, be anywhere but here A clean getaway? I don't think I need to elaborate on that one. But I believe he was saying it to himself, and not her, the lover or whoever it is. I think the other party actually doesn't know anything about the 'getaway' kind of how a Warden wouldn't in regards to a inmate. That being said, when I hear the next line I actually picture someone holding their girlfriend, showing the emotion of love but planning to leave, and thinking just that in their head. Then exactly how he was lured into the relationship, he's lured into a masochistic kiss. And he wished he could be anywhere, be anywhere but there. |

you're all right and wrong in your own ways i'm pretty god damn positive this is reflective of his change from philly to california when he left for Saosin. It's pretty self explanitory, yet decidedly ambiguous, as Anthony usually is, as it gives you a setting. It even says California, and I'm sure the 'two for ten' thing is about the general surroundings of where he was, that's kind of how it is. People nagging to buy, two for one, blah blah. I'd say the rest is introspection, ambiguous, still, and "When this whole thing started" is referring to him, his career, etc. It was still pretty early in it, the beginning really. And as for the very end/title, I can't really make that connecion. |

Hey a few years gap between comments never hurt anyone. anthony and this son elicit so many different emotions from me.. for me mainly, this song was created and recorded when Anthony was in high school. that's just crazy to me and in my mind. I am a sophomore in college now, but there are so many people I knew in high school that made music, etc, but I couldn't even take them seriously. On the other side of the spectrum there is this band, who I can't help but just get lost in. that idea is crazy to me, being really, legitimately involved with music that 15-18 year olds made. also, the fact that these songs have to do with the idea of young love. it's obvious that this song, whether specific or not has a lot to do with a high school crush. weird or not, i am fascinated with high school love and the idea of young love in general. it's so rare to find someone in a high school that's willing to speak their true mind let alone in music.. |
