|
Ok, I recently bought a magazine, can't remember what it's called but yeah anyway, it had an interview with Boxcar Racer, and Tom was asked of his favourite song on the new upcoming album, he said "Watch The World", as well as giving a brief explanation of the song meaning, now, to get this out of the way, it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WTC TRAGEDY!!!!!! Sorry, Now that that is out of my system I will give you a rundown of what the song means, It basically is about watching the end of the world, and taking your lovers hand and leading them to an island, and making it through, being the last two people on earth, happy and together. So bare with me and try to follow me the whole way through. :) I watched the smoke as it grew darker and blew up through the roof I watched the fad who sobbed in panic as the fire grew Ok, this just is Tom telling about he is watching the world end, yadda yadda... I saw Virginia get rid of langly, and it's secrets too Ok, if you know anything about Tom, You will know that he is strongly into UFO's and Aliens and is very political, in meaning that he HATES, what the government does, keeping secrets from the people, Tom has videos and books, from peoplle who worked for the government and he knows for a fact they exist, and strongly disapproves, anyway this line just basically states that the president can't keep his secrets, for it is the end of the world! BUAHAHAHAHA... hahaha... sorry... I held your hand and sat there knowing that we'd make it through Basically goes without saying... I saw this man dispose of hunger and soap opera too I saw this field that grew perfection full of things you do I saw this box get rid of heartache and cure cancer too NOTHING, NOTHING, will get rid of heartache, or cure cancer, maybe cure cancer but yeah, this just basically states that after the end of the world, what need is there for a cure of cancer? So cancer is cured, if you get my meaning.. when I awoke I sat there hoping this is what we'll do if we can we will leave our letter and this song, for you we'll write, once a day and float it through the sea, to you we'll regret, all those things we thought of but didn't ever do if we can, we will leave our letter and this song, for you and we'll write, once a day and float it through the sea, to you we'll regret, all those things we thought of but didn't ever do To be honest and quite frank, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS BIT MEANS IN RELATION TO THE MEANING OF THE SONG, you'll just have to use your imagination I guess... :p when the sky, seems to clear who will then be left, but a few, me and you If you read what I typed up the top, you'll understand, basically the end of the world has occured, and there are two people left, him and his loved one, with not a care in the world, and they are together. Anyway I hope you enjoy, and I personally don't really think any of the songs really have much to do with september 11 considering the album was released not long after the tragedy, but yeah, and I have a theory on Elevator, SOMEONE JUMPS OFF A BUILDING AND DIES!!! =p Obviously to discuss the meaning of this song go to Elevator :p |
