Red 19 Lyrics
i cant believe no one has commented on this song. its definitely my favorite song by them. does anyone know what "red 19" signifies? the last line is definitely the best - "If I get through tonight without passing out, I promise you I'll never dream again."
i think he means its a red letter day i.e. his birthday which sounds like it's on the 19th of december. but i could be way wrong.
"Red 19" is once-popular coloring agent, along the same lines as things like "Yellow 5" "Orange 18" etc. It was common in coloring foods and cosmetics years ago, until it was banned by the FDA as being a cancer-causing agent. According to a few sources, there are still cosmetic manufacturers which use Red 19 in lipsticks. Gives a whole new meaning to "kiss of death"
