| Jimmy Eat World – Just Watch The Fireworks Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| This is a constant theme in JEW songs. Deciding what to do with your life, and having the courage to do it. A Praise Chorus and to an extent, The Middle are also meditations on this topic. All three songs try to give the subject perspective and confidence, while warning about the dangers of giving up. | |

If you've played Max Payne 2 you'd see that every single line and the song and every single frame in the video is related to the game. I dunno how people miss that part (except for the very obvious possibility they just haven't played the game). The idea of a 'Late Goodbye', of eventual acceptance of that seperation, is the central arc of Max's character. The killing sprees that are the games primary content, are just Max runing from the real problem.. his inability to accept reality and move on. 'Last night I had a dream about my wife. She was dead, but it was alright.' The third game pretty much shits on Max's restored psyche. |

This song has always been about two things for me. I've known two people who have severe anger issues.. one who's smart enough to be aware of it, and tries damn hard to always supress it, and another who's basically a very scary guy most of the time. They're father and son. But also, and what I think the song's really about, is being traped in a relationship with the latter kind of person.. traped because you fool yourself into believing something that just isn't true. Why isn't really revealed in the song, but it doesn't have to be. Such a beautiful song, that drives me to anger and frustration if I let myself think about the one girl I've known who's let herself get abused like that. I didn't even like her.. in fact, when I'm feeling cold, I can almost argue that she deserved it, but no one deserves shelter and abuse as inseperable. |
