| Thrice – Atlantic Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Dustin says it's a love song. Am I the only one who thinks of Marriage when I think of "tin cans and string"? While I see the "phone" thing with them too. To me it's about a woman he's known and loved for a long time, then he finally gets to marry her and he can't believe it's really happening. Then he has to deal with traveling when he really wants to be with his wife. It's all a surreal experience it seems. Maybe this is how Dustin feels about his wife and touring? |

| John 8. All about not judging people because we have all done things worth punishment. | |
| Thrice – Music Box Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
it's a dual meaning song. Thrice is not christian, but Dustin does believe in God and Jesus, and the teachings of Jesus about how to treat one another are a great message regardless of what you believe. "Music Box" is about the awe inspired by the vastness of space and the impact it has on people and the feelings it inspires. Dustin says there is a literal interrpretation of the song which I believe is hope and love. Dustin's lyrics seem to be very broad yet specific so that people can see where he's coming from but are left to make up their own minds on what it means to them, because ultimately, he knows what they means to him and what they're about for him, but cares about what others get from them. |

| Thrice – Lullaby Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I agree with the response idea. Lennon offers a nice, pretty world in "Imagine", but it could also be depressing if you think about. Dustin seems to believe that the "peace" offered takes away so much that makes life worth living. | |
| Thrice – Of Dust And Nations Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Yes, Sand=Time. Ultimately though, I think it is about not holding to much on to the materials of the world, that there's something so much out there and what we have, we can't take with us. I especially like this line: "We live in but a shadow of the real". Dustin likes C.S. Lewis a lot, and that's a reference (I think) to C.S. Lewis' idea of the Shadowlands, which means that the world is a shadow of the Heavens and the life beyond the material. Great song, my second favorite on Vheissu. |

| Five Iron Frenzy – Kamikaze Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| to me, i think this is about finally accepting God and Jesus. the whole song seems like someone who has lived their life waiting for God to come to them the whole way and waited for Him to just pop up, but finally he's realized he has to look himself and take "that leap of faith". when he finally realizes what it all takes, he's unsure if it's what he really wants to do because there's such an "image" of christians that he's sure he won't be good enough. | |
| Thrice – See You in the Shallows Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
its about thinking for yourself. suicide IS the metaphor. "comfort in never thinking again" refers to being a follower as opposed to someone who lives the way they want. Peer Pressure is the main point. "guess I’m afraid to be alone and down below i see my crew they look okay" hmmm? killing yourself just because everyone else is doing it? Come on people, take a metaphor and turn it literal. There's a lot of problems with that. And honestly, i think this is one of their more straight forward songs. |

a good friend of mine read these lyrics and this is what he told me the song is about. it's "ogburn's cultural lag: the fact that our technology is progressing faster than we are; that and the blind faith people adopt in religion and their lives nowadays - people don't know what they're doing: they cling to life like wreckage from a ship" I was wrong. I think he's right. look up ogburn, William F. Ogburn. pretty cool stuff. |

| Thrice – Motion Isn't Meaning Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
i severely doubt this is toward Bush, though if that's your interpretation, that is more than fair. This line... "Tell me that you wanna stop the war But baby you can't dance if there's no floor Motion isn't meaning It’s just another drug But it's all we've got...we've got nowhere to go" ... tells me something different. "Tell me that you wanna stop the war" people always want to stop the wars of the world, that they want to move forward beyond our destructive tendencies. "But baby you can't dance if there's no floor" How can you stop war, its something that as a race we will always be confronted with. It's ugly, but its the truth (and to believe otherwise is being stubbornly naive). "Motion isn't meaning It’s just another drug But it's all we've got...we've got nowhere to go" Moving forward isn't the answer, just another way to try and ignore and deny responsibility. Moving forward is hope, and it's all we have and all that's going to get us through. The main reason why I don't believe this to be about Bush or America specifically is because Thrice seems to have remained distant from political specifics. They (Dustin mainly) tend to write more about what they see as things that are wrong in the world as well as the values and ideals that appeal to them individually and as a whole. I think trying to spin their lyrics and meanings towards a definate left (or right) stance is doing injustice to the writer. Now if thats what he means specifically then I stand corrected. |

| Thrice – Eclipse Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i think its about how as a society we've turned our backs on faith in a greater power. because its almost becoming taboo to bring up religion and faith anywhere | |
| Sum 41 – We're All To Blame Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I think this has a lot to do with America in general, not religious or political, but more of our society as a whole. We swallow, believe, worry only about ourseleves (i.e. every PERSON for themseleves as opposed to the country). We believe so often what we're force fed and then want to blame someone else for our own stupidity in swallowing their lies. This is about all of us being totally apathetic in a chaotic world. we need to open our eyes, our minds, accept responsibility and for the most part, grow up. | |
| Thrice – As The Ruin Falls Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I don't think the poem was about God, because Lewis refers to God directly. The poem is most likely about Lewis' wife who he met late in his life then tragically died from some form of cancer I believe. The first stanzas signify his life before her and the last two signify what she has done for him and opened his eyes, the only problem was that he realized what was happening to late. I did a paper on this poem in one of my freshman english classes at college. Three weeks of studying the poem did a lot to how I react with people and myself. |

| Thrice – That Hideous Strength Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
I think Johnny is yet another example of humanities fear towards what it doesn't understand, manifested through a malicious attack upon those who state their opinions based on someone's music, which in today's society is something that is intended to be interpereted by the individual to mean what they mean. If you want a more detailed argument, read my post in "So Strange I Remember You". Johnny is, I think, looking for attention, and feels the only way is through negative interaction with people over the internet, his ignorance is blatant and founded in the ills that are propagated willingly in our society through a shared sheltered closed mindedness (i.e. racism, gay-bashing, etc.) What it really comes down to is that one saying we were all told when we were children. "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." Or at least intelligent. |

| Dogwood – In The Line Of Fire Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
this song is just saying that its cruel to kill an unborn child, because you might be killing a great person, if you don't want the child, at least you could give it up. But, what is important to realize, is they never say its not the woman's right to choose, just that they think its wrong. They never insult, bash or condem the mother in anyway. They basically just want people to own up to their actions, Abortion is cheating life. I do agree its a woman's choice, but its also her choice to keep her legs closed. Everyone has an opinion. And Vandal, everything is propaganda, its just up to you which you deicide to believe. |

I think that this song is more about glorifying that which shouldn't be glorified and holding up that which was not meant to be held up, and how the most sacred of things become nothing more than an attraction that leaves the people feeling exploited to the extent that they question everything, whether it be faith, or just life. I myself am inclined to think it is more about faith than anything because of the Neitzsche reference. And on that note, I think that anyone who wants to contest that Thrice's lyrics have any reference to faith and God is looking at the world with a closed mind. The fact that they may not openly say the words in their lyrics signifies nothing, it is simply a more poetic and eloquent way of expressing ideas. Now I'm not saying that all their songs have something to do with faith, that would be stupid, what I'm saying is that the ones that look like they are, even remotely, probably are, and to rule out that idea is simply ignorance and fear to admit that there are different ideas from your own. A song is meant to mean something to the writer and the people who hear it, for them to make up their own opinions so that it is special to them in the way they see fit. So people, instead of saying always that just because someone says they think the song is about God and faith they're stupid or wrong, or swearing like an idiot, you try to look at it as that person does to see maybe what they see. Thank You, I'll be here all night. |

no its weird how no one can just say they like the song and give its meaning. If you like the song, state so and what it means to you, if you don't like it, don't listen to it. Alos, one hundred people stating "RUFIO ROCKS!!!!" is really immature. If you like the band, there are better ways to do it with out making yourself look like an idiot. Rufio is a very good band and this is just plain and simple, a good love song. |

| No Use For A Name – This Is a Rebel Song (Sinead O'Connor cover) Lyrics | 23 years ago |

sinead o'connor is irish (i think, I may be wrong) and if the lyrics are correct, it'd be something along the lines of her talking as an irish woman to an englishman, two peoples who have always fought, even though the two in the song have shared something. again, I may be wrong |

I have my own feelings what the song's about, but if anyone knows anything about classical music, you'll notice that the chord progressions match that of Pachibel's "Cannon in D". Just an intersting bit of information. |
