Brand New – The No Seatbelt Song Lyrics 23 years ago
i can't believe there are so little posts for this song. this is probably the best song on the cd! there are so many great lines in this song and it sounds so good.
-i shot the pilot, now i'm begging you to fly this for me
-but how could i miscalculate? perfect eyes will have perfect hate
it's a great song, but i have to disagree with singer 4 twolves. i don't see this as romantic. it's hating to love someone.

The Wallflowers – Sleepwalker Lyrics 23 years ago
this is a great song. i'm not really into the wallflowers, but for some reason i love this song. i love this:

I'm in your movie and everyone looks sad
But I can hear you, your voice, the laughtrack
But you never saw my best scene
The one where I sleep
Sleepwalk into your dreams

SpookyWang, Sam Cooke was a gospel/jazz singer in the 50's.

Sugarcult – Bouncing Off The Walls Lyrics 23 years ago
This song can't be about anything but drug use. junkSTAR69 explained it pretty well. "I'm looking like a fool again. I threw away my reputation" He took some drugs at a party, looked like an ass, and figures some people think less of him now. I really like the part that goes "Mommy and Daddy's got the best cocaine, Ritalin's never gonna feel the same, twenty four hours on an empty brain, I got my finger on the trigger and you're in my way" The reason this part perticular is so great is because it goes so slow and creepy. The hypnotic melody combined with the dark lyrics are so different from the rest of the song.

Jimmy Eat World – Blister Lyrics 23 years ago
When a lot of people hear this song they seem to think it's about some girl. I didn't get that from it. I thought it was a betrayal between friends. "And how long will it take me to walk across the United States all alone"

Jimmy Eat World – Table For Glasses Lyrics 23 years ago
Hmm...this song always reminded me of a guy I know. He had this girlfriend that he loved and she loved him back..but then I wanted him as more than a friend. "It happened too fast to make sense of it. To make it last" And everyone was telling me to forget about him because he was unattainable, but I never listened.. "Not asking of me anything, saying nothing about what it means, without anybody telling me what I should feel" That's always what the song meant to me.

And that's why this song is so great. A million people could listen to it and get something different out of it.

Dashboard Confessional – The Swiss Army Romance Lyrics 23 years ago
This song is great. I don't mean to get personal, but I know this guy and he used to be so cool but now he puts on this act in front of people and it makes me sick because he's so much better than that. And this song is great because of that. Because it's so easy to relate to and it feels like it was written for me.

I like this song. I don't know why. Alex just sings it so great and it makes you feel like it will be ok in the end.

New Found Glory – Winter Of '95 Lyrics 23 years ago
This is one of those songs where practically any tow people can sit down, listen to it, and say "I can realte." I mean, who doesn't have that person they used to know, ya know, that person that makes you think "do they think of me?"

Less Than Jake – Teenager In Love Lyrics 23 years ago
Ah...a teenager in love. This is a good song because I can relate to it so well. If you can't relate to it you're not and never were a teenager.

And if you should say goodbye,
I'll still go on loving you

When you're a teenager in love (ha) you feel like your first love is your last and you'll never get over it. That's why this song is so great. It's honest and you don't know you can relate to it until you realize you can't relate to it anymore...that makes no sense but I think you get what I mean.

This is probably the best STD song there is. I mean, drunken sex has never been more appealing.

Phantom Planet – Wishing Well Lyrics 23 years ago
I love this song. It's so different and it sounds like it would be something you would hear on Broadway. Maybe it's about Las Vegas. There seems to be so many references in this song about Vegas.

the clock still says it won't be long
till all your hard earned money's gone

And then there is the prostitute reference. Prostitutes are legal in Vegas.Tourist references...and it just sounds like Las Vegas. The trumpet in there...I don't know.

Phantom Planet – Always On My Mind Lyrics 23 years ago
I think this song is about this guy who is really into this girl but is afraid of talking to her and everytime he sees her he just kind of freezes or says something incredibly moronic...ok, this song is about my life.

Jimmy Eat World – Just Watch The Fireworks Lyrics 23 years ago
This song is responsible for me becoming a Jimmy fan. I heard it and was blown away. The first time I heard it a very clear picture of wht it meant was in my head. First I read the title and that with the lyrics made me think of this whole story where there's this boy who loves this girl and he wants to watch these fireworks with her (actual fireworks, yes, but it's going somewhere...). She doesn't love him. And all he wants is to be with her (watch the fireworks) no matter how long it takes to get her (no matter how late he has to stay up). Also, I think this girl was his first love (I've been here before but only by myself). Or, the girl loves him back but is scared because he is her first love too (here you can be anything, and I think that scares you).

That's just the way I always saw it.

Jimmy Eat World – Believe In What You Want Lyrics 23 years ago
"dancing in plastic shake-up snow"

I love this line. The plastic shake-up snow is that fake snow in snow globes. You shake the snow globe and it snows. I just really like the line.

But my favorite line would have to be "what you ignore is priceless to me." I can realte so well.
