| Glassjaw – Daytona White Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I think Daytona White the Watch is a metaphor for time. It sounds like to me, like he's singing about time and his life. I think he talks about his straight edge life for a bit when he mentions "I'll vow to hate the bottle" but in the end "yet I won't mean it". "I can't breathe without you..." is also a line from "Hard To Breathe" from his Geometry side project. So maybe another allusion to how time flies? But I'm not really sure who's he is referring to when he says "i can't breathe without you..." maybe time? that would be funny, since you are dead when time leaves you. |

| Glassjaw – Stations of the New Cross Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
this I think song is the simplest out of all of them. Simple meaning: That this about living day to day after something regrettable/or tragic has happened, when you thought you had a break. Complex: The crow is night. When the sunrises, the crow flies and takes the safety of dreams from Daryl or someone else (I think he is singing in first person as someone else at first then sings as himself later). Stations of the Cross are shrines that depict the stages of jesus' death. From the point he's condemned to death to his crucifixion, finally paying the price for everyone's sin. Here, there is a NEW station of the cross. I think it's another trial that someone had thought they've been done with. Maybe the station of the cross is metaphor for life, or just this certain event. There is a station you have to get through before redemption, but another trial of life shows up before you get there. And someone is trying to help the sufferer get over this event ("Dawn of Devotion...Light the fire to bait a prey). The prey I'm guessing is the depression that the sufferer? ("simpler than you are") something that can he (thinks) can be fixed easily. But is making things a bit more complicated ("temporary nuance," "even though you don't believe i might") In conclusion: Sufferer: Going through tough times again (a new station of the cross) Daryl: A friend who's trying to help (dawn of devotion) Then the last part is basically the sufferer making know his pain. As in reciting a prayer or article of faith. (I believe in regret...) |
