Capt. Midnight

This is one of my favorite Tomahawk songs. I think it must be about breaking free from a relationship filled with lies.

Yeah this song rules.

I can't believe I havn't commented on this song yet! My fav Tomahawk song, If only there were more alt metal songs of such a high calibre...

I love how the song doesn't repeat the chorus at the finish and by doing so completly subverts the pop-song format...

I really don't know whether these are the correct lyrics or not so i'm not going to analyse them...

i think it's about a stalker, personally. a few tomahawk songs follow similar suit of obnoxious, self-obsessed desires. patton sounds freakishly obsessive about this person, saying "our past stops right now" as if to clear out any confrontation he has had with this person while yrying to get closer to them, and making a fresh start. i also see this in "we'll de trying to live so long." also i reckon it covers aspects of schizophrenia where at first he's calm and showing interest, whereas in the chorus he seems to be violent and craving the person in question. then, at the end, he's calm again, saying he "should" wait for this person to comply rather than forcing them...

also the fact that it's called capt. midnight makes me feel as though he's watching the person under a cover of darkness.

YES!! you guys are fucking understanding the same thing. same exact thing as you presidentandceo. im pretty sure thats what its about.

It's about breaking up with someone, who lies alot...and is also a fricken vampire.

i think its "only shines " instead of omissions and i see light instead of silhouette

Wake up; Our past stops right now I see light, must be you Watch and learn Burning it blue Blood boiling In slow motion Only shines Distortion Don't be afraid

What? Are you surprised? I'm staying alive I spit in your eye, drive a stake in you Take me away, take me away I gave you the world, it was all for you But I'm sick and tired of wasting time I want mine Take me away, take me away I gave you the world, it was all for you Stinkin' lies, stinkin' lies, stinkin' lies

We'll die trying to live so long I can wait, and I should Leave the phone off the hook Don't be afraid Don't be afraid Don't be afraid

I wanna say it's about getting out of a relationship where the other person is a complete jackass, so to speak. The kind of relationship where the other person feels like you can't be anything without them.

...You guys have never watched the television show "Captain Midnoght"...have you?
