| Jack's Mannequin – Hey Hey Hey (We're All Gonna Die) Lyrics | 13 years ago |

These lyrics are horrible. Keep your eyes on the road I'm the Glass Passenger And I sing for a traveling band. Where I'll be tommorrow Guess God only knows It seems that there's science at hand But I'll finish the shows when I land And New England turned grey Found the old TLA From the lens in my Polaroid camera The label looked proud The New York show sold out I noticed a change in the weather It's getting cold, could you hand me my sweater So keep your eyes on the road I'm the Glass Passenger I've return to scene of crime With my bus and my band I am taking a stand So sing with me just one more time |

| Jack's Mannequin – Platform Fire Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| At a concert, Andrew said the first line of this song was supposed to be "Smokin' California Blue Dream" (a strain of weed), so I'd say this song is at least partially about the influence of drugs. I'm also pretty sure the lyrics are "this haze is only temporary," which has to be a reference to weed. IMO it's about doing concerts and stuff blazed while still feeling the pressure of performing well. | |

| Say Anything – Cemetery Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Max writes very verbosely, which generally doesn't generate songs for the radio -- radio songs typically appeal to a wide variety of people, so they have general messages written simply. SA's style is not conducive to radio play, as interesting as it is. | |

| I'd agree that it's about depression, but depression and relationships certainly aren't mutually exclusive, haha. It could involve both. | |
| Say Anything – Shameless Lyrics | 14 years ago |

First of all, this song is amazing. My favorite on Baseball (albeit with very stiff competition). The way I interpret it is that it's about a girl who had a relationship with the speaker, but they eventually fell apart. The girl embraced a new lifestyle and left the speaker behind, seeing herself as deserving better than what the speaker can offer. The speaker, though, believes she's lying to herself, and asks "would it kill you to be shameless," e.g. have a little humility and embrace what makes you happy (scream this in defiance), despite what others may think. The speaker knows that she's making the wrong decision (I will be with you..our love is here to stay) and that they both know their love was real (eardrums are like elephants..of the things fed to your ear). The 'rock n' roll' in her eyes is a metaphor for the variable, exciting, adventurous relationship/lifestyle she gave up, a metaphor that I think works throughout the song. He invites her "back to mankind" at anytime, meaning she could always come back to him. He's trying to "take it in stride," letting her explore a different lifestyle without him, but hopes she will return and it will be like old times (I will always love you). This song always makes me think of my 'One Who Got Away'..for me it's depressing, empowering, and brutally honest all in one. I love it. I even sing the part where Max messes up at 2:18. It makes me just want to walk up to people and ask them if it would kill them to be shameless, just to break them out of their smug little fucking shells. That's how it makes me feel anyway (I did warn you that it was MY interpretation!). But anyway, that was my angsty rant. Point is, this song rocks, and the musicianship in terms of lyrics and dynamics shown by it is truly astounding, especially for SA's FIRST album. Incredible song, incredible album, incredible band. |
