| Alkaline Trio – Private Eye Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
whatver, it's so eays to get into the usual 'ultra punk rock debate' and what not. the only thing that really gets to a lot of people who have followed underground bands that then go mainstream is that they have grown a personal bond between them and the band, and it's like a secret world they can escpae to through listening to music and being one, and understanding the music and having a feeling that the music really undertsands them, b/c the words have been directly wirrten from someone who is descirbing perhaps similar emotions that that person is feeling. when something goes on MTV, it loses personal connection. maybe not completely, but a lot, because something that you were once so privately apart of, is now spewed across the televison. and yea, sure more people can possible relate to you and ur problems and the music, but it's not as tightyl-yknitted bond. and it takes away from it. it's a mental thing. when alkaline trio went to mtv, they wer ejust moving on to the bigger scene that they were inevitably going to come across one of these days. they were bound for absolute stardom, for they are so incredibly talented. persoanlly, i hate mtv, and one of my favorite bands [bouncing souls] promotes anti-mtv slogans, even with merchandise supporting that claim. but im not going to sit here and bash mtv bc hey, they ahve some pretty cool shows that i often find myself watcjing. but tis true that it's all not reallllllyyy about music; it's just their basis for publicity and all that shit. just remmeber guys, the reaosn all of us came to this site, was for the music. now listen to it. and enjoy it. and tyr not to argue. love the private eye, dont we? i think it's one of their seldomly found songs that it's really obvious to tell what it;s about, so if i get into it, it'll just be redundant bullshit. just wanted to say, this song gets me soooo going. and i love it to death. and it was one of the last songs i heard by them; thoguh for most it was the first bc of the video and such, which ive never seen. heard about alkaline trio through a friend awhile back and have adored them ever since, can ya blame me? <3 |

this song is so much more than anything people are giving it credit for. some people think it's just bouncing souls trying to be 'emo' but when it comes down to it, every soing written by them is not just wirtten for show--it has some sort of personal reference and point in it. that's what makes me love the bouncing souls so much more. In this song, it's someone coming to the reliazation that there are good times in a relationship with someone, where there are fueds and conflict, in the end, the person needs to have their own opinions [i'm one, i stand alone] even if they are at disagreement, the thigns that were said in anger are regretted. 'forget about that things i said,i make no excuse for them'. but yes, inevitably, all i can do is wish that an ex would write this kind of song for me. what a way to get a girl's attention. <3 |

I've got it now a thron in my side the size of a cadillac. I see this as someone wanting a way out of a relationship and it's hitting them hard. I often relate songs to lives other than my own. and with this one, the 'thorn' in the side is the painful relaization gnawing at someone's gut when they are realizing that maybe things are changing. and that you just need ti gi throiugh with that feeling, because it's alreayd hit so close to home and chanegd everything that was for eightenn months, and that point of view of the song is the guilty one, the one at fault who has maybe done something to realize that they are not fulyl dserveing of the happiness with the other person. but that they will always think of them, for hat 18 months was like a lifetime. i dont know, perhaps if this song didn't seem to fit my friends persnal situation to a tee, maybe i would look at it differently. but that idea is already imbeded in my mind. it's an amazing fucking son, but what alk3 song isnt? <3 |

this song is something that htis close to home when you undertsand what it's like to be on both ends of a relaitonship ending. to undertsand that something has to come to an end because the opposite person is just not being all that you need them to be. and that your pin might be so much, or that you ust cant stand the person anymore, 'i hope this is goodbye' is the final say to evrything that has gone wrong and you just dont want to have it in your life anymore the regret of thinking you might have watsed your time involved in something that later brought you to nothing or lower than you had been before, "The only thing that you every really did for me was make me oh so miserable" is the realization that you just mgiht be betetr off alone and that the aatahcment your in is nothing but dead weight. |

| Alkaline Trio – Nose Over Tail Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
"crack my head open on your kitchen floor" that just starts off the song with an incredible feel. you undertsand the 'brainless' one as he is trying to show this perosn he loves that he does have a brain and that she is in his thoughts...it's like his last effort to prove to her himself. it's amazing. 'meanwhile tin men, lef by little girls'...heartless men who are caught by the attnetion of innocent females and lead them to a place that never seend to coem to an end, and the men walk forever, hand in hand wiht innocence, only ever getting just a small touch of it. it just..hits you. 'whatver happened to that silly dream you had?' when i hear this, it makes me think of my ex boyfriend and how i told him i loved hm before and he had seen love as something nonexisistent...when i hear this, i imagien his voice taking back his words in regret, telling me that my silly dream of love, he now wantts to experience, missing my simple innocent touch, that he had when he was once a 'tin man' himself. 'nose over tail' so much more appropriately expressed than 'head over heels' for someone, as is the usual description. i lvoe it because its like the intensity of emotion you fele the person seems to hit u smack dab in the middle of ur face, bc u realize ur NOSe over tail for this person. it's so moving. 'ur voice like the sound of sirens...to a hosue on fire..ur saving me...' all he needed was her voice now, and after everyhtign eh ahd put her through, he now knows how much he needs her in his life, and the simplest breath of words form her is saving him from the lonely world he is apart of without her. it's a fuckign aamzing song. no doubt. |
