| Chevelle – Revenge Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I feel like this song is about letting go of past hurts/grudges. "Crowds and torches fill the air. Surprise you're chosen, now finish it. Yell it louder really sink that point in that set for so long" referring to being confronted with ones grudge so to speak and finally expressing ones feelings on the matter. " Me, I'd let the panic ride and pin it on the wall" refers to letting anger and bitterness build up and outwardly expressing it, in this case by 'pinning it on the wall' or punching holes. then the next couple lines for me, are some of my most favorite in any song. "Identifying pride is the saddest of the chores. Those burning eyes indeed define a churning of the soul. Feels better to be lost, but haven't felt the choice for so long" refers to coming to terms with the fact that one has been too proud to admit hurt which has turned to anger and bitterness and rendered them unable to let go. once admitted, burning eyes, or tears, identify a churning of the soul, or an awakening of what once lay cold and numb due to anger and bitterness. "feels better to be lost" means its easier to just be cold and numb than to face hurt and the emotions that come with it and work through it. "but I haven't felt the choice for so long" means hes been numb for long that he's forgotten what its like to feel any different, or choose to feel any different. "For so long, my demons. It's countdown for me. With blindfolds you held us Till I found the best (revenge)" refers to him counting down the time that he'll allow his demons, or bitterness, to hold him hostage. "with blindfolds, you held us till I found the best revenge" again referring to bitterness and pride holding him hostage and blinding him until he realized that the best revenge is to just let it go. people are hurtful in order to cause one to be hurt. but if you let go of your hurt or anger, then their efforts are ineffective and all for not. one of my top favorite songs not only by chevelle but in general. |

| Chevelle – Twinge Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| for me this song refers to addiction. the twinge referring to a needle prick. "was really just a twinge, it wasn't much. I never meant, to get lost." this symbolizes how quick and easy it is to get lost in addiction. "we'll just lay there together" symbolizing numb, euphoric rush. "countdown the hours...waiting on the twinge" symbolizing looking for/ waiting on the next hit. I know pete expresses his own lyrical intentions, but this is what this song means to me. I feel like the damned has a similar theme. | |
