Guster – Come Downstairs And Say Hello Lyrics 14 years ago
ive never seen the dark side of the oz, although ive heard about it and the beginning of this song is definitely referencing that. i think this song is about sort of coming out of a trance and its like youre clicking through tv and you see the dark side of the oz and you click to MTV and people sing about everything being ok in the end. i just imagine the person in bed all the time in a dark room wasting his life away doing nothing and always wanting to change (new years resolutions) and "by this time next year i wont be here" (he doesnt want to be like this, he wants to change his life). and suddenly he realizes what hes been doing and the music gets louder and faster almost as if hes starting to awaken and become alive again.

"to tell you the truth i've said it before
tomorrow i start in a new direction
i know i've been half-asleep
i'm never doing that again"
(again with almost coming out of a sort of trance)

"voices calling from a yellow road
to come downstairs and say hello
don't be shy just say hello"
the dark side of the oz is referenced again. its almost as if hes using it to gain courage to change his life and "come downstairs and say hello"

lastly,

"i look straight at what's coming ahead
and soon it's going to change in a new
direction
every night as i'm falling asleep
these words repeated in my head"

this is sort of like him acknowledging that his life is going to change and thats ok..and every night he thinks about not going back into his dead life and awakening

thats just what i think. everyone has their own opinion.

Guster – Eden Lyrics 14 years ago
I think this song is about the devil because of these lyrics:

"If you break me down
Selfish desire is all you blame
Cause desperate times
Call for desperate measures
And I am not ashamed
Oh it took me a long time to come to this
And I have chosen my path
I am only for me
All my dreams are so closed
If I open them to you
You can count them all as lies
You can believe me or you can believe the truth
But I could let you in
Put your feelings on the shelf
There's only room cause it helps myself "

And also because he said "I took a cane from a blind man" and
"I tasted the fruit in the garden of Eden"
And also because in the Bible after Adam and Eve tasted the fruit in the Garden of Eden them and Satan (who was a snake at the time) were banished from the garden:

"And I've tasted the fruit in the garden of Eden
When I walk out of here
I know I'll stand clear
But the taste in my mouth still remains
Still remains"

That's just my take on it. Everyone has their own opinion.
