| Coheed and Cambria – The Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think that this song is a continuation of the Willing Well I's confrontation between the Writing Writer and Claudio. It appears to have another set of dialogue written between the two. Personally, I believe that this is the point that Claudio is utterly repulsed by his creator. While the Writing Writer is telling him to embrace his role in the world and destroy the Framework that holds everything together, Claudio is seeing everything for what it really is: a creation. Claudio's part begins in "What did I do to deserve all of this?" as he is witnessing through the Writer's eye the murder of his own sister by Coheed (Jesse's brother). At this time it's assumed by many (including me) that since this is a portion of the finale, Jesse the Inferno is dead which is what leads me to think this is not Claudio actually directly talking to Jesse. Meanwhile, like the devilish conscience figure on Claudio's shoulder, the Writing Writer is urging him to destroy it all for the Writer's reasons. However, as much as Claudio has endured, he is seeing that all of it is the Writer's fabrication; that had the Writer not had his own problems, Claudio would have been spared all of this. |

| Norah Jones – The Nearness of You (Glenn Miller cover) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It's one of the songs that I feel that every -man- needs to hear sometime. Norah has this amazing way of singing very simple prose that very few people can deliver the same message through just speaking. A lot of men (including me from time to time) forget that there is a joy to be found just from being close to someone, and this song can definetely revitalize that feeling. | |
| Coheed and Cambria – IRO-bot Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think this might be one of those extra songs that is kind of a "treat" for people who delve into the storyline. I personally believe this is a song about one of Jesse's created IRO-Bots. I can't recall its name off the top of my head, but he wanted it destroyed because it was a failure or just not fully operational. However, his other IRO-Bots rejected the order and accepted the bot into their 'family.' The Mayo thing is interesting though, but I don't think Ryan will kill Mayo this early by any means; Mayo's his top general and according to information Sanchez has put out, Mayo and Jesse have a big battle where well...one of them dies. ^_^ |

| Coheed and Cambria – Three Evils (Embodied in Love and Shadow) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm all about this being about Jesse, but I remember reading somewhere that Jesse's death is actually at the hands of Mayo Deftinwolf, Wilhelm's top general in hand to hand combat. As far as repairing goes, Jesse is an IRO-Bot which is between human and robot (they can reproduce, live, die, but can presumably be repaired/recreated...Claudio's actually one because his parents were as well). But perhaps the repairing section is in relation to Jesse's creation of several IRO-Bots (four last time I checked but I can only find accounts of three; Chase, Longcindia, and Sizer) and perhaps the fourth one was a hurried process near his death to safeguard knowledge? After all, for all we know thus far in the story Jesse is the only character who knows everything. |

| Coheed and Cambria – The Suffering Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It seems pretty significantly decided that this song is representative of the Writing Writer character asking Erica to marry him and she basically snubbing him off. Some part of me wants it to be Claudio, however. It's been said that one of the only ways that he can succeed as the crowing is to return to Newo, so I think this may be a hasty, unfounded series of thoughts of his thinking he can quicken the future by asking her to marry him. However, in my mind this may not be happening because Newo has no desire to be merely a prize to jumpstart God's plan. That or she loves Al, but I won't go into that because that concept is VERY weak in my head. Oh well. My two cents until I get my hands on the book. ^_^ |

| Ozma – Game Over Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I know that what I say is probably already said in one way or another, but anyways...because we all like seeing our text online... I've always felt from the timbre of this song that this is some sort of allusion to a relationship that has been tried too many times. "I've seen all the episodes" The singer and this woman have tried this over and over but they know the end result of anything they've done before. He also knows the "secret codes" which not only can be how we as people use words as keys to unlock ourselves, but how some relationships are obviously able to be unlocked by merely a certain phrase, but again, the end result is the aforementioned end of the "episode." 2P is an old video game reference to "2nd Player." I think that he's alluding to his former significant other, or perhaps a platonic friend who is attempting to get him back into the relationship. I'm leaning towards the second because of his phrase "teach me how to rock and roll." The rest of it is fairly explanatory, I think. Regret, wants the relationship back but knows it's not capable of being so. I don't think even as he says "this love is over" he's trying to convince himself of it. |

| The Cure – Burn Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The song was written specifically for the movie. Robert Smith actually read The Crow comic books while he was penning it. There are lines taken from the comic that are not distinctly mentioned in the movie: scream the animal scream and... dream the crow black dream It's quite literally about Eric Draven of the comic books, and I think it's quite commendable that The Cure chose to use the actual comic material in writing it. But generally, I see this song as one as despair. There is no hope glimmering through these lines, it just represents a miserable existence thrust upon the subject of the song. It's loneliness, it's pain, it's fury. No wonder it suits The Crow so perfectly. |

| Weezer – Smile Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| I think GuitarBoy hit it on the nose. Reminds me of my current crush. Been hurt so much in the past that she doesn't know if she can love again, but people like Rivers who believe in love still have hope and they know deep down that things can work. All it takes are people who will try. | |
| Weezer – Why Bother? Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
I think that this song has little to do with the physical aspect of Rivers' relationships, or to explain the faults of them by any degree. The entire album Pinkerton to me is a self-pitying source of vented frustration for Mr. Cuomo. Similar to how I feel currently, I think it is evident that Why Bother? is a rationalization in which he believes that "This can't be real emotion, this has to just be something sexual." In the quotes "What's the harm in knowing one more?" He has begun an internal conversation with himself in which he begins to actually consider pursuing the woman of his eye, yet he is quickly reversing his mind when he considers the pain that the relationship will perhaps cause him. He is paranoid of the pain of losing a woman. I feel that this is a rationalization to stay single and not act on one's emotions at all, rather than merely speaking of physical attraction. Rivers was considered a "geek" or something to that degree when this was written, so I feel that I can assume that he may have possessed a low sense of self-esteem that would have led him to write this monologue to himself in which he reasons himself out of a potentially long-lasting relationship. |
