Byzantine

come on this song rules

for me it seems he is setting the life of a nerdy kid who play video games instead of socializing. What makes it meaningful to me is the line "im waiting for the sun to go out" because i remember being lonely and playing video games in the dark.

For me the song makes me sad, because I have been lonely and alone. Sometimes and I wished the phone would ring and my children would socialize with me more!!

How can one play video games in the dark?

Prepare to shoot to kill, for we fear the empire.

I hear "We parachute to ground for we fear the empire" and I'm pretty sure I'm not wrong because everybody else usually is. They parachute to ground in to France during WWII because Rob and Armisted like that WWII game 1949 or something, although I don't think WWII was still officially going on in 1949, but the wizards from the respective countries were totally still active at that time.

The Byzantine Empire was one of the most powerful military, sociopolitical, and cultural powers in Western history. The Boars Head was a common symbol of Medieval heraldry signifying military dominance. I think they're taking the past closer to our current history via WWII Nazi Germany and the flight of the Jews, the physicists Otto Han and Fritz Strassman splitting the atom in 1938 Germany. Just do your world history. It's not too much of a stretch.

Edit: bad writing.

Ah, would be nice to edit our postes, wouldn't it?

Yamale, just becaue you're a nerd doesn't mean all Pinback songs are about you. I see a lot of people making comments about Pinback's music being some quaint social commentary about geeks who never get married, and although the fellows in Pinback like their vidya-games and could be classified by the nerd-term, don't emotionalize their music so that your friends who like Dashboard can like them too, they're not out to slay the societal beast or right the wrongs of nerdom. This song is about Star Wars. And Julius Ceasar, because Zach Smith likes salad.
