So big Say anything fans know that the album "is a real boy" was originally designed by bemis to be a rock opera. for whatever reason that it didnt work out though, the album still plays like a hurt love story, starting with the anger rejection songs like Blet and Yellow/red cat, with a constant reminder of lost love like the popular Alive with the glory. So as the "boy" deals with the lost love cliche, with random sex and reminisce, he begins to find himself crawling back to that girl, with a 2nd to last son " i want to know your plans, then here he ends with this pissed off song. So whats the deal? I think that the end is a kind of "fuck it im over it" type thing, with a vibe of "i'll do whatever i have to to forget this". Admit it is the ultimate get over her song, because it is bemis' way of saying "she sucked anyway". Then the eternal "when im dead ill rest comes into play...a promise that he'll forget her, tasting the breaze of every great city is better than stewing here over you. |

So I got into QotSA after songs for the deaf, and this one made sense to me. I think its about those phone numbers on public bathroom stalls. Theres the whole part where hes talking about the number, and wondering who she is, and then what kind of person he is if he were to call her. Plus i think the fact that the song is "regular John" helps my theory a bit, yaknow like a "port-a-John". I think the running with the knife part is throwing a lot of you off becuase your taking it literal like a killer or something, but it just means being risky. I feel pretty confident about my interpretation, oh and repition in a song SHOULD NOT be interpretted, comon now. |
