Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
We'll scream it loud!
This is a melody; it's time to sing it out
So give us words before we all forget!
This is where I lift my hands and say enough is enough!
So many people are broken and they're not getting up
This is our offering; this is our hope!
This is what we believe in, and we're not giving up
This is our song
So sing out loud a chorus for us.
It's all too much; I can feel my lungs collapse on me
Bitter soul why are you weeping tears that fall only for you?
This is our song
So sing out loud a chorus for us
It's all too much; I can feel my lungs collapse on me
This is my worship; this is my life
To bring hope into this broken world
This is my worship; this is our worship!
This is our song
We'll scream it loud!
This is a melody; it's time to sing it out
So give us words before we all forget!
This is where I lift my hands and say enough is enough!
So many people are broken and they're not getting up
This is our offering; this is our hope!
This is what we believe in, and we're not giving up
This is our song
So sing out loud a chorus for us.
It's all too much; I can feel my lungs collapse on me
Bitter soul why are you weeping tears that fall only for you?
This is our song
So sing out loud a chorus for us
It's all too much; I can feel my lungs collapse on me
This is my worship; this is my life
To bring hope into this broken world
This is my worship; this is our worship!
This is our song
We'll scream it loud!

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
at the adtr concert in portland i helped hand out samples for this band and got the album for free :P
i was there! <br /> i got that sample, and proceeded to get this album!
ha sick that show was amazing :D wonder if you got it from me or the other guy.. lol alot of people didnt want the sample.. they missed out
sounds cool
Yes, yes they did miss out.<br /> I'm seein these guys in olympia tomorrow night!
I saw this band when i was station in texas and when they opened up for Brian "Head" Welch they were great i actually looked them up on itunes that night after hearing them and bought the first CD. cant wait to get back to see them again
I met these dudes back when they were an unsigned screamo band and they were just so cool. They watched my crappy band play because there were like two people in there haha. Now they're just incredible. The breakdown around 2:53 gives me chills.
