Santa Barbara

I'm guessing this song is about smoking and drinking, pretty straightforward.

This song is about a person committing suicide because she's high or something. Well, thats what I think. The place where she found that rocks her gently is waves, and if she never surfaces, it won't matter to her, she holds her breath, death takes over, and its silent now. Or maybe, she's just high.

okay, what this song means to me, well after thinking about it for a long time. i think this song is about someone who has an alocolic person in their life, but the person doesn't realize it, and it is about that person trying to deal with it, and trying to live as if everything is normal. i may be completely wrong, but hey this is what the song means to me. also i LOVE THIS SONG AND BAND!

I think it is someone who has a drink and drug problem, or some sort of addictive problem, that is so bad that he/she has spent all his/her money on it. So this person has to live out on the streets and is so unhappy about it all that spends the rest of the cash on the addictive stuff which really messes the person up because the person is in such an unhappy place in his/her head and suddenly gets to a state of mind that he/she believes that no one has got to which is a really "i don't care about anything anymore" state of mind. The person looks at whats happening around and realises how beautiful everything is but nobody really takes notice and takes everything for granted. The person then believes that this world is ugly and so really just wants to die and find a place which is much more caring etc.

I think the song is about a girl with a drug and drinking problem. Her problems could have began when people close to her had situations that were too overwhelming to her.

Pray for them I often loose track So I took a drag of my first cigarrette

The chorus is about the girl at the peak of her addictions, and she finally found a point of peace that the alchol couldn't give her. This could also be a suicide verse, and how this also gave her a peace the drugs couldn't. Either way, it doesn't matter what happens anymore, because she finally found peace and if she never comes of it, it'll be okay.

I found a spot where the drunk never got to And it rocks me gently silent, silent If I never surface then it doesn't matter Hold my breath It's silent, silent, now

This song has a really deep meaning to me; It can be taken many,many different ways, too, though this is just my interoperation

Pray for them I often loose track So I took a drag of my first cigarette and I found my head [Turning to drugs and alcohol during hard times.] Roll down the dumps of twenty seventh street [Living threw our simple mundane lives; dealing with sorrow.]

I drew a sketch with lipstick and sidewalk of Newports edge Legoblock cliffs and an ocean that doesn't deserve the sounds of silence I'd swear on a dead artists grave

An ocean that doesn't diverse the sounds of silence, like..A sorrow that doesn't deserve death; like, knowing you've done something terrible; and then feelings as if you can't forget about it because you're forgetting about what you did to the people that it effected.

I found a spot where the drunk never got to

Finding a place where your happy enough with yourself that you don't' feel the need to be drunk; or thinking that your like two different people; when your drunk; and when your not; and never getting drunk; or high in one certain place.

And it rocks me gently silent, silent I never surface then it doesn't matter Hold my breath It's silent, silent, now

Wanting to kill yourself over what your doing now; and what you've done in the past;

Diligent Escape by the water Not sick of it

Now; using What she said "If I never surface than it doesn't matter" Its like she tried to kill herself; and then realized that that wasn't the right thing to do even though she still wishes she could

It only gets harder That's no excuse

Living through everything; whether its hard or not; because it doesn't matter how bad your life is; there's someone who's got it a lot worse.

to block all the cliches and reason for kicks

The sorrow she was living threw blocked out all the bliss in her life.

He strokes her hair both sitting on sand and her shoulders bare nothing to demand of them

I'm not really sure what to make of it; for some reason it reminds me of living threw an abusive relationship; but then finding someone much better? I don't know...

laying back on a lonely stone wall and passersby look passed it all

Knowing not to assume that people know how messed up your life is; because to everyone else your just another person on the street...

I found a spot where the drunk never got to And it rocks me gently silent, silent If never surface then it doesn't matter Hold my breath

I found a spot where the drunk never got to It rocks me gently silent, silent If never surface then it doesn't matter Hold my breath It's silent, silent, now

Now; this could be taken as suicide; or forgiving the horrible things you've done in your life; as mentioned with the ocean...
