Which To Bury, Us Or The Hatchet

I disagree with Roihclem. I just went to their concert in Orlando, and they said, "This song is about when you love someone, but you're not exactly happy with them." I think its about a relationship with a girl that was gone awry.

This song is awesome and got me through some tough times... and the second part (Let It All Out) of this song is great too even though a lot of people at the concert said it was lame... I continued to belt out every single word... very powerful and also very noble of Matt to play such a slow song at a rock concert.

*naught

I edited it with the correct lyrics; I don't know why it still shows the wrong song :/

Really Diggin The Banjo In This Song, Amazing Song...

Agreed, the banjo was a stroke of genius. This song wasn't like most of the other music Relient K has made but i loved it. And the transition from this song into "Let it All Out"...absolutely beautiful.

Man, this song is good. Well IMHO, I think this song talks about two people: God, and Matt... or whoever. For most of the song, I think it's as if God is placed in as the speaker, then in some verses, it switches off to the singer. For example: "I tried to move you, but you wouldn't budge I tried to hold your hand but you'd rather hold your grudge" It's like God was trying to get to the person, trying to get a hold of some person but all the person did was "peeled out and drive away" from God.

Then on the last verse, it's as if the singer is shifting the blame on God, "why didn't you stop me from turning out this way." I think basically, the whole song is where to people are talking.

I also think this has some connection to "I so hate consequences" 'cuz when I saw that "you peel out and drive away" line, it sorta reminds me of "I so hate consequences" because, I'd ask myself, why did he/she drive away from God?

This songs pretty deep. Love the transition.

I agree. This is definately about a relationship. He is mad about something in particular that has happened but he still loves her. Very easy to relate to.

This song definitely deserves more comments. I think it is one of the best ones on the album. It's different from the past Relient K songs but the fact that this song goes over so many different aspects of anger, from the fiery to the sad end. And I love the vocals on "I tried to move you..." This song and "Let It All Out" are definitely a two-part combo. You can really see the transition from anger to acceptance.

I love the lyrics "Wisdom always chooses these black eyes and these bruises over the heartache that they say never completely goes away", brilliant. Relient K rocks my face off

I think this is definately about a relationship with another person, hence the title, althought I do think the narrator is viewing it from a Christian perspective ("you know I'll always love you but right now I just don't like you..").

Which to bury? Us.. (the relationship between Matt and whoever.) ..or the hatchet? (the grudge that they hold between one another.)
