The 7" version has the song 'Palestine' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K14pPMMAO_Y playing at the start of it as the guitar riff fades in. Could shed some light on the song's meaning- a generation of palestinian youth growing up under occupation taking up the slagon 'freedom or death'? |

I think his original intention- which it seems was to write a song about drug addiction is largely irrelevant.
It reads almost perfectly for any kind of neurotic behaviour; love, drug addiction, fear of loneliness... there's really not much difference. |

This is such an intense, incredible song. The whole atmosphere of that XXX comp just sends chills down my spine; somehow it adds another dimension of weight in "emotion" to a band when you know they're sober. This song means so much more to me than Firestorm ever could- this intensely emotional music is what I've come to assosciate straight edge with. A means of liberation, and a solution only for the self- not a means of transforming society. |

This song sends chills down my spine like no other... "Reason would have me lift up into the clouds and hide, but you make me mad, make me forget how to fly." |

I think this song is about feeling completely disenfranchised and at a loss with sterile, mainstream society, and wanting to reclaim some sort of humanity- some sort of feeling. "Up here we're taller than the city". Obviously the recurring theme of depression is prominent here, but I feel that this song goes to a further extent of revaling a factor in that depression. I think it's about living in the anonymity of a city environment, with no true human contact. He sees getting drunk, screaming and laughing as a rebellion against that sterility and regiment. |

Personally, I have always thought of the "how's your bell curve?" line, as some dorky kid just trying to break the ice with a classmate which he cannot necessarily relate to on any/many other terms. But alas, he still admires greatly.
I have been in the same position on many occassions, where I desperately want to talk to somebody, but I don't really know what to say, so I just talk about whatever it is I'm studying in a class with them- "have you tried the homework yet? It's impossible!".
This song is so hard hitting, particularly the line "anger at tumours like me". I think this song is fairly self explanatory- boy loves girl that doesn't even acknowledge his existence. He fantasises of feeling happiness, true recripricated love and simplicity ("Maybe you'd look at me, you'd talk to me, we could marry, live in this tree."). Yet his feelings of inadequacy prevail, and he is forced to burst his beautiful fantasy- "You don't like me, and I don't like me, and it's unlikely." Excellent song. |
