Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Tonight's twilight will be the last seen by our eyes,
So if it seems so beautiful, kiss the beauty goodbye,
Oh my little cornea, please say that you are no more,
And ears please swear you did not hear this creaking in the cabin floor,
I'll forgive my eyes for lovely lies, so certainly within my will,
Please declare this piercing stare, So false, at a clock that's standing still.
Such pretty skin, give it to us,
The sun won't wise my spirit dies, All hope has withdrawn,
So here I lay because either way, I know we'll all be dead by dawn,
Dead by dawn.
Arming shotgun shells this rotting smell lingers on words that were said,
Her body in pieces, my hand cut away, the ever-enchanting book of the dead,
The sun won't rise, my spirit dies, All hope has withdrawn,
So here I lay because either way I know we'll all be dead by dawn.
A chainsaw can remove a limb or act as a replacement,
Smell the gas as hours pass, contrary to my statement,
The corpses wish to cover me with kisses,
So just maybe I'll cover this cabin with their blood,
Hail to the king baby.
So if it seems so beautiful, kiss the beauty goodbye,
Oh my little cornea, please say that you are no more,
And ears please swear you did not hear this creaking in the cabin floor,
I'll forgive my eyes for lovely lies, so certainly within my will,
Please declare this piercing stare, So false, at a clock that's standing still.
Such pretty skin, give it to us,
The sun won't wise my spirit dies, All hope has withdrawn,
So here I lay because either way, I know we'll all be dead by dawn,
Dead by dawn.
Arming shotgun shells this rotting smell lingers on words that were said,
Her body in pieces, my hand cut away, the ever-enchanting book of the dead,
The sun won't rise, my spirit dies, All hope has withdrawn,
So here I lay because either way I know we'll all be dead by dawn.
A chainsaw can remove a limb or act as a replacement,
Smell the gas as hours pass, contrary to my statement,
The corpses wish to cover me with kisses,
So just maybe I'll cover this cabin with their blood,
Hail to the king baby.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song is pretty straight forward, it's about the Evil Dead movies. :)
Hail to the king baby....you gotta love that
I saw showbread last night and one of the singers said it was about a guy who goes to a cabin in a woods and finds tapes. Then he quit talkin about it 'cause the guitarist started playing, but it makes sense. By the way, if you get a chance GO SEE SHOWBREAD LIVE! They are amazing, by far one of the best live bands ive seen. They have amazing energy and let the crowd sing/scream with them if you look like you want to. Trust me, it is an absolutely amazing experience!
man, their lyrics are so hardcore! gotta love that last line..
I dont know what this song means but yes showbread RULES i saw them live and ill never ever forget it any band with a keytar and a megaphone rules!
I definitely agree with the last comment. "Her body in pieces, my hand cut away, the ever-enchanting book of the dead,"refers to Ash (Bruce Campbell) having to dismember his girlfriend. Also "A chainsaw can remove a limb or act as a replacement,"refers to Ash cutting his arm off after it was possesed and replacing it with a Chainsaw. Close th the end of the movie Army of Darkness (the third movie) Ash says, "Hail to the King, Baby."

I saw showbread like in '99 when their first cd came out, they kicked butt then and they still ROCK!!!!
as if we weren't already assured that showbread was not only the best band in the Christian music scene, but in all of music as a whole, they had to come out with this song and reassure us once again. only the rediculous skill and creativity of these crazy kids could produce a song about zombies. ah yes, they've done it. and it couldn't be better.

and may Raw Rock kill you forever and ever, amen.
its about the movie evil dead i don't know if anyone has seen it but (A chainsaw can remove a limb or act as a replacement) and (Her body in pieces, my hand cut away, the ever-enchanting book of the dead) all happens in the movie. the main character gets his hand cut off and replaces it with a chainsaw.
