To Buy a Gun Lyrics
To me it seems
That resting easy is a plea for change
And I long to taste that outward thought
Of course this means
Getting up from off my seat but it's warm
So warm in here, I'm restless to escape
Cause that's all it takes to buy a gun
On the third day of the third month
That's all it takes to buy a gun
Lungs
Breathe soft
Your blood gets thick
When the gun goes off
The rush creates
An impact on my current mental state
And some would say that's wrong
But I found
More joy in a coaxing with a gun
And the expression of the chaos we've become
Cause that's all it takes to buy a gun
On the third day of the third month
That's all it takes to buy a gun
Lungs
Breathe soft
Your blood gets thick
When the gun goes off
That's all it takes to buy a gun
on the third day of the third month
That's all it takes to buy a gun
That resting easy is a plea for change
And I long to taste that outward thought
Of course this means
Getting up from off my seat but it's warm
So warm in here, I'm restless to escape
On the third day of the third month
That's all it takes to buy a gun
Breathe soft
Your blood gets thick
When the gun goes off
An impact on my current mental state
And some would say that's wrong
But I found
More joy in a coaxing with a gun
And the expression of the chaos we've become
On the third day of the third month
That's all it takes to buy a gun
Breathe soft
Your blood gets thick
When the gun goes off
on the third day of the third month
That's all it takes to buy a gun

I thinks about the current state of laws.They want a revamp of the laws perhaps?
More corrections... sigh.

The song's lyrics, construction, everything, is intertwined. The message isn't hard to understand. People have become too complacent, too comfortable, too self-assured. Things are stagnant, and I'm sure many people have felt their own relationships turning stale many a time. Many people change their lives in explosive, sudden ways when they feel it's become stale. They find more joy in forcing things to be different than letting them stay the same, more joy in the expression of their feelings than the feelings themselves.
The line "Third day of the third month" may refer to many different things... March 3rd 2005: James Roszko murders four Royal Canadian Mounted Police constables during a drug bust at his property in Rochfort Bridge, Alberta, then commits suicide. March 3rd 1971: Beginning of Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 and India's official entry to the Bangladesh Liberation War in support of Mukti Bahini March 3rd 1938: Oil is discovered in Saudi Arabia.
The last and first I find to be the most likely - the last even more so. Oil? Well, that's all it takes for us to "buy a gun" and go to war for it, isn't it? Political... but the gun could EASILY stand for something else, very easily.
Dude, Strange We Should Meet Here came out in 2004. As amazing as Idiot Pilot are, I'm pretty sure that they can't see into the future. You sure that they didn't just use "The third day of the third month" because it sounded cool? Or perhaps it has a personal significance? Just because you can use wikipedia doesn't mean that you have gained sudden insight into the meaning of the song...
Have you forgotten things such as the Gulf War?
Actually, March 3rd is Daniel's birthday.
