| The Casket Lottery – Stolen Honda Lyrics

Pretty self-explanatory, but what great opening lines! I'm still floored after all these years.
"I can call you Betty. Betty when you call me, you can call me Al." :)

Someone you've previously been in a relationship with - a former girlfriend/boyfriend who wants to give it another try. Or it could apply to being guarded when entering into any new relationship as well. |

Great pick-up line in case you're wondering. |

| Kill Creek – Gett Up Lyrics

Lyric check to the Get Up Kids' "Action and Action" as well as Kill Creek's own song "Get Off" from St. Valentine's Garage. A lot of Colors of Home seems like a more grown-up reaction to St. Valentine's Garage. Ultimately, I feel it's about changing and wanting more "mature" than what you have (settling down, starting a family). Or at least something different that what you have/have had. |

| Kill Creek – Mousetrap Lyrics
| 14 years ago

Some clever word play going on in this one. I think it's about trying to walk away from being a musician and the trappings that go along with it - you keep getting drawn back to it for some reason or another (maybe because the music is intrinsically the musician - it's what you HAVE to do, art for the soul's sake, and all that). "I don't know if the real me wants to leave that trap at all."
Then there's the "Mouse" angle: Kill Creek's old record label was Mammoth, which was purchased by Disney (hence the "mouse"). The band had completed an album that the new label owners wouldn't release and subsequently let the band, along with many others on Mammoth, go. I believe that Disney contractually got the masters to the album (titled Whimsy), and it never saw the light of day. But, that's okay, because Second Nature picked 'em up and Colors of Home was released. :) |

Seems like this one is a warning before entering into a relationship with someone that you have a history with: "You're never gonna get a guarantee" that things will be different or that the relationship will work out. Beautiful song, regardless. |

| Kill Creek – Serotonin Lyrics

Awesome backing by Nathan from The Casket Lottery. Note the "Kid Town" reference that hearkens back to "Stretch" from the EP of the same name and St. Valentine's Garage.
Seems to me it's about medicating kids with anti-depressants instead of addressing their underlying problems. |
