Jawbreaker Lyrics
Jawbreaker (x3)
You're like a
Jawbreaker (x3)
Hey just to be polite yunno
Well I'll ask about yourself if i choose
But we both know
There's a past, bad blood an' such
It makes me wanna spit
I caught your evil eye
One ugly inner child
Life felt slow in the past
And yet little by little bits
Creep on up, history,
Took the day at least a part of it
Jawbreaker (x3)
You're like a
Jawbreaker (x3)
I caught your evil eye
One ugly inner child
I felt your evil eye
Like a needle in the side
Are you part of them
Or part of me
You bother them
You bother me
Are you part of
You're like a
Jawbreaker (x3)
Well I'll ask about yourself if i choose
But we both know
There's a past, bad blood an' such
It makes me wanna spit
One ugly inner child
And yet little by little bits
Creep on up, history,
Took the day at least a part of it
You're like a
Jawbreaker (x3)
One ugly inner child
I felt your evil eye
Like a needle in the side
Or part of me
You bother them
You bother me

Catchy song, but my least favourite off the new album.
Not sure about the meaning, but it sounds like Pete's talking about someone who's close to him but he hates him. (Are you part of them, or are you part of me? Then he says the jawbreaker stuff). "One ugly inner child" gives me an odd feeling that this might be a kid. o.O just my thoughts!
Sounds to me like he ran into an old acquaintance with whom he ended on bad terms. "one ugly inner child," to me, means this person is immature and basically a bad person. :))

Jawbreaker is excellent. Listen more. Twinge is the song I don't get, except the scary monster theme going in the album.

I agree that the song is about someone close to Pete that he hates, but I think the "ugly inner child" line is explaining that this person acts as a child and can't act like an adult about things. The title "jawbreaker" explains that this person upsets him so much that he grinds his teeth. This person always shoots Pete bad looks: "I caught your evil eye." The bad blood they have between them seems to stem from this person not siding with Pete on something: "Are you part of them, Or part of me," but either way this person is an annoyance to both parties: "Cause you bother them, And you bother me."
Many other songs on the same topic. Sure it's about gargoyles and zombies, etc, but it is again about brother Joe. The evil eye Pete sees in Hunter eats Hunter is Joe also I believe. "Another family better not divide, i'll beat this jackal down, this interference ends. I'll send it back beyond." Under the Knife also describing the brotherly knife fight.
You'll find "creep" to be a recurring word to describe Joe.
