its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
We are, we are, we are
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing
You said you wanted out,
But now you wanna go
You said you had a doubt,
But now you think you know
You are, you are, you are
About getting low
You said you wanted out,
But now you wanna go
You said you had a doubt,
But now you think you know
You are, you are, you are
About getting low
You're dying for anything brand new
Hate feeling cheap,
But you love being used
You want out, but you take the abuse
'Cause it's all you know
We are, we are, we are
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing
Tear the nails from your finger tips
And smear the blood across your lips
'Cause it's all the rage
With all the kids back home
While we wrap our blood around our wrists
Decorate the walls with our fists
Live life like it's hit or miss whoa
You're dying for anything brand new
Hate feeling cheap,
But you love being used
You want out, but you take the abuse
'Cause it's all you know
You're dying for anything brand new
Hate feeling cheap,
But you love being used
You want out, but you take the abuse
'Cause it's all you know
We are, we are, we are
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing
(We are!)
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing
You said you wanted out,
But now you wanna go
You said you had a doubt,
But now you think you know
You are, you are, you are
About getting low
You're dying for anything brand new
Hate feeling cheap,
But you love being used
You want out, but you take the abuse
'Cause it's all you know
We are, we are, we are
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing
(We are!)
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing
To me
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing
You said you wanted out,
But now you wanna go
You said you had a doubt,
But now you think you know
You are, you are, you are
About getting low
You said you wanted out,
But now you wanna go
You said you had a doubt,
But now you think you know
You are, you are, you are
About getting low
You're dying for anything brand new
Hate feeling cheap,
But you love being used
You want out, but you take the abuse
'Cause it's all you know
We are, we are, we are

While we wrap our blood around our wrists
Decorate the walls with our fists
Live life like it's hit or miss whoa
You're dying for anything brand new

Word Alive, The
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
At first I thought this song was about being fake, but now I think there's an obvious point in that there's a girl who doesn't respect herself because she's been treated badly her whole life so when she's treated badly by other people it's familiar and though she hates it, it still makes her feel comfortable. s
