Daylight Slaving

It doesnt seem like there saying "Steam rising and spiraling" thats just me tho

At the beginning I'm pretty sure he's saying Rising and spiraling. It's possible it's not "Steam..." the second time, but thats what the insert says.

i love the 'everyday keeps on getting shorter as my sleeves start getting longer'

im so glad it was ben that left the band instead of fran or something his voice is what makes the band

i like their new stuff better, idk i wasnt a huge fan before. but i love the new vocals too. they cant do a scream/singing overlapping thing anymore tho. this song is great! to me it is about someone, or even an entire town, that is growing more hopeless and depressed as time passes.

Fran as headman is for sure an awsome change, ive seen both fran and ben, great performers but frans better by far. the whole CD is about the struggles of growing up in NYC, so judging by the line

"are you aquainted with the threat of being killed"

this is probably about the constant fear of the city its self

im a fan of them, but this cd compared to "too bad youre beautiful" is nothing. TBYB was way better. by far. but dont get me wrong, like i said i like theyre new stuff too.

true...their old stuff is better, but only by a little...i like the direction they are going in

i think the line, "are you acquainted with the threat of being killed, or are you conversing with pigeons on the window sill"

means are you thinking about whats serious and imminent to your fate on this planet, or are you just participating in the pointless self-serving pleasures.

"every day keeps getting shorter as my sleeves start getting longer" is the transition from warm to cold seasons

I'd rather consort with the low and the DECADENT*, not decandent.
