In Case We Die (Parts 1-4)

One of the best ever.

Where are the comments? This song is simply amazing. It reminds me of a great piece of classical music. From the chaotic beginning to the heavenly ending, this song just rocks. These guys are something else.

really. this song is great

the music surrounding the fireworks verse makes me feel free like summer nights.

this song is like an epic. if only it were longer. it sends chills up my spine.

I love the idea of this being about a crazy relationship. One that is really, really passionate, which results in both silly and intense fights, but alongside beautiful moments and a feeling of love that is just exploding.

The last part reminds me of when relationships get old, they dull down, and this couple thinks that isn't necessary.

this song is fireworks.

I think it's about a dangerous couple, who get into trouble, only for one of them to eventually take a step back, and try and blame it all on the other ("leave it while it still smoulders so I have to say I told you") And here: "around the angles there's a race where silver never gets golder" I think of 'silver never gets golder' as being a way of saying "What we have now may not be the best, but this is the best we can ever have it", and I agree with blueofthesky, that the last two lines are basically saying that they don't have to become conventional and start acting their age, that they can carry on acting like they do now, and keep the relationship a bit dangerous and exciting.

Sounds like some mad lovin'. Maybe we don't have to get colder indeed.

I saw this a bit differently. I think this is about a crazy relationship where they're in love but they fight all the time and manipulate eachother. Let me explain.

Person 1: "i've got problems i'm gonna use them i'm gonna keep them from you until you cry" --> Person 1 has issues... trust, etc. It's going to F up the relationship. Person 2:"got machine guns I never shoot them I only borrowed them in case we die" --> Person 2 knows some things, (machine guns) about person 1's past or whatever. Doesn't reveal this knowledge but keeps it as a weapon in case they break up (die)

"late nights play fights i'm freezing and you're leaving me here blue and red, up i'm fed, you're upset, almost dead, tounge twisted" ---> They have some good times together, late nights. They start having play fights. They start having real fights. Next line, they're almost over (dead). "Blue and Red" = Sad and mad. "tongue twisted" = doesn't know what to say, how to fix it. His tongue is tied to fight anymore.

"35 nightmares & 94 days since i got near you and your anxious ways hey darling, lets steal it i'm certain you're sure spell it to me love" --> He's having nightmares from jealousy, trust issues etc (like in the beginning when she had the issues but was going to give them to him). He's certain she's in love with him, and makes her explain her love so he can be sure. ex: why do you love me?

"and as we planned, there's fireworks stage right swallowing the brains of all in sight it's 1am that's evening your time we're counting sheep sell it to me, yell it to me LOVE" --> the climax of the song (so epic!). The fireworks stage right is a seemingly scripted, unavoidable final blowout between the two. The emotions take over, neither are thinking rationally (with their brain). It's 1 am which is still early for her. They can't get to sleep, she's trying to tell him what love is (spell it to me) and convincing him that they're in it (sell it to me) despite all this mess of a relationship.

"leave it while it still smoulders so I have to say I told you I carved our names in a tree there I meant the letters to be bolder around the angles there's a race where silver never gets golder maybe when we get older (baby when we get older) we don't have to get colder, colder"--> The relationship is over although there are still feelings of love (leave it while it still smolders). When he fell in love with her (carved their names in a tree) he meant it to mean more and last longer (meant the letters to be bolder). He may have physically done this as well but its still a metaphor. They had a silver (second rate, possibly tarnished) relationship they were just waiting and hoping would turn to gold, but he realized that doesn't happen. He hopes that they don't stop being close friends now that they have gone separate ways.

I LOVE THIS SONG
