| Days of the New – Enemy Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
It is about a man who is trying to enter into a relaitonship with a girl who is afraid to open up to him. The girl is fearful that her world will collapse, and she is terrified of the change. However, Travis wants to stress that he only wants to enter the girl's life and give her everything he's got. As the song changes mood to the second half, where Meeks repeats "I went in killing the sun, I onec won" he implies that he has given up on winning the girl's love. He once went in killing the very sun, he was invincible, passionate, in love... he was once blinded by the love he had. He attempted to kill the sun, and when he did, he realized that there was nothing behind the bright flash of light that corrupted his vision and his judgement. In essence, he has given up. |

| Days of the New – Shelf In The Room Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| This song is about the singer's fear of the outside... the shelf in the room is his way of curling up and disappearing from everything, from all the activity, all the forces he cannot understand and is afraid to face. he's "closed his doors" but also realizes that it is "rain waiting to pour..." indicating that eventually his shelf will collapse and he will be sent back into the workd he so desparately wants to escape. He wants to leave from the place he knows, "Kick me out, let me go" cries Travis, as he is overwhelmed by a "releasing sense of getting tired" and wants only to retreat to the confines of his established, predictable, and safe world. | |
