| A Perfect Circle – TalkTalk Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| @[Ozziedave:25389] I just listened to it again and had the same thought. Maybe because we're right off the heels of Parkland and the same back-and-forth we always get after high-profile shootings, but the "thoughts and prayers" lines immediately jumped out at me. | |

This is the first time I've actually looked the lyrics up. I always misunderstood a few spots, so I took it differently (though my theory had some holes). By whatever logic, I turned it into being from the perspective of a drug dealer who later started using. A few lines that aided this: "Everything I gave is what I need" - The drugs he sold are what he now craves "Now I know why you've been shakin'" - "Shaking", as in having withdrawals from heroin or something "Now I know why you've been takin'" - "Taking" said drugs "Counting all the hands I shook" - All the previous deals he made "And laughing every time I [toke]" - Misheard lyric on my part, but like laughing when you take a hit of weed Those were my favorites to point out. Most of the other lines fit this in my head, but there are a few that never made perfect sense in this context. The above definitions are probably more accurate as to what SG intended, but I thought it was a neat little story that made for a cool song. |

I'm gonna be 'that guy' too just a little bit. I think it's more directly to Jimmy in that he's talking about how he's seen it before and all of that. But I think that having Krist on the bass makes it pretty hard to deny that there's at least some sort of relevance implied for Cobain as being case where he'd seen it before. And off all the songs over the years they could have chosen for him to play on (and crank his bass in the mix, none the less), it was one with this subject matter. And according to that quote in the above post, Kurt's death probably hit Krist pretty hard. Either way, I think that this once, and JUST this once (not ****ing "My Hero" and every other Foo song ever), there may actually be some relevance to the whole Kurt thing, even if a bit indirectly. |
