This is probably the cutest song I've ever heard. It seems pretty simple to me; the speaker is just bored and at a friend's place calling up to them "come on come on come on! I'm bored! Let's go do something! Anything! I heard of this legend! Lets Go!" |

like everyone else I here I love this song too. that "I'm here to make you famous line," I heard something like that in a movie, I think it had Denzel Washington in it, where the guy is in a virtual reality chasing this artifitial serial killer person. also there was a logo in there somewhere that looked a lot like the skull from broken bones and bloody kisses. anyway. if anyone's wondering at the end of the broken bones and bloody kisses (and live too) version connor screams "work it out youare my canvas" |

| anybody else think the singing (Jesse I would assume) kind of sounds like Morrissey? I noticed a lot of that on the new album (which is beyond excelent by the way) but especially in this song. | |

ok, so here's my take on the song, I know its been done before but who cares. [I'll set this up like the lyrics above are, just to make it nice and convenient] he leaves his lover and wakes her on his way out with his leaving her dreams are visions of what he’s doing he’s involuntarily off to cheat -don’t know about the sirens part- all he has to do is fall asleep/ let down his guard and he slips his mistress tells him the lies and that bits pretty self evident she’s at her doorway (9.17 reference) telling him how good unfaithfulness is (the lie – water isn’t sweat, its tasteless) deja vu – been here before feeling (more self evidence) he’s at her door and he knows its wrong to continue but he just doesn’t have the strength to turn back His true love has gotten up to run after him and warn him The cheating is a corrupt (a sin if you will) He still wants it (flash forward, the deed is done) he regrets it he knows his crossed a line but he wants to go back as for the brave part, near as I can figure it’s a word for strong/pure that rhymes with a direct quote ok, that over with, on to the Christian band issue. What it comes down to is your definition of a “Christian band.” Dustin, the lyric writer, is very much a believer. I heard somewhere he had to give up a lot of church functions he work with to do the whole Thrice thing. Now, what do people tend to write about and us as metaphors? Things they know. Dustin, as someone involved in Bible related things, has read the bible, and he uses lots of biblical references in his songs (there’s something wrong with you if you don’t accept that when you can match certain lines up word for word). But this doesn’t make the songs about God or the worship there of, he’s just using the stories as a parallel/metaphor. People often do the same thing with other (usually well known) works. Hell, “The Red Death” by these same guys is quite clearly based on “The Red Death” by Poe. That doesn’t make them a Poe-ian band, they’re just using that story, and putting a different spin on it (in this case its making it from the eyes of the red death, “Deadbolt” weaves a personal tale into 9.17). Now certainly some of their songs are about religion itself, “Betrayal is a Symptom” for instance (“Faith/ Without actions is a mask”), but he’s just commenting people within the religion itself and how people act(or rather don’t) upon it. When you hear the phrase “Christian Music” what kind of lyrics spring into your head? Probably something to the effect of “Praise jesus, he loves all of us” or “HE got me through this.” This isn’t exactly the kind of lyrics I read in Thrice CD booklets. So what it really comes down to is that if you want to say any band who even mentions anything that is in the bible or relates to god is a Christian band then yes, Thrice can be a Christian band by that definition, but if you want to say a band that only makes references to the text of Christianity as metaphor and sings about people’s use of Christianity isn’t a Christian band, then Thrice isn’t one of those afore mentioned thingies. Now it honestly astounds me that people haven’t reached this already. |
