Seven

powerful fucking song right here.

december's tragic drive. awesome.

anticipation...leading to eventual heartbreak. one of my favorite sunny day real estate songs.

Wow... This song is perfection to me. I think its about hiding behind a mask, and realizing that being yourself is more important in the end.

sew it on. face the fool. (Putting on the mask)

the mirrors lie those aren't my eyes destroy them raise my hand reflected in savage shards a new face a soul reborn. (Destroying the mask)

some thoughts on the meanings of lines in this song.

sew it on. face the fool.

december's tragic drive --reference to seasonal affective disorder when time is poetry and ----when you're depressed, time is like poetry to some people...it requires more effort to get through and find the meaning in things

stolen the world outside-----don't want to leave the house because of depression

the waiting could crush my heart----"i feel like i might die while im waiting for this to get better"

the tide breaks a wave of fear---tide is a reference to "as eventual as the tides"...periods of depression are eventualities for him....and now eventuality has brought him to this period of depression...basically "now im depressed"

and brave songs dissapear to the secret voice of dawn ------------------------i cant reassure myself this last time raise my eyes.------not too sure about this line

you'll taste it in time-----i'm guessing hes saying you may not understand but eventually you will and all this will make sense the right words in time.

the mirrors lie those aren't my eyes ----i look in the mirror and i don't feel i'm really the person i see

destroy them raise my hand ----i want to break the mirror out of frustration reflected in savage shards a new face a soul reborn. ------------i feel the fractured image in a broken mirror is a more accurate reflection of who i really am inside. my mind and my spirit is cracked and jagged.

this is just my interpretation. the song is a description of an episode of severe depression and the chorus is a commentary on how people who haven't experienced severe depression don't usually understand and try to marginalize your pain, but eventually, everyone finds a time of desperation.

love to hear anyone's thoughts on this.

sunny day real estates songs are very interesting in terms of lyrics, the only amidiate one is in circles the songs. the music itself is mesmorising im always taken to another world when listening to diary on my headphones and this is the first track to do so

for me , this song meaning really great! its like you are in a situation where u find it so hard to face...where all the past memories keep on haunting u... and the future is seems so uncertain... really great song!

rocks

I LOVE THIS SONG!! I just thought it deserved another comment.

Every time I hear the "you'll taste it"s, I shudder. This is Sunny Day's best song.

this is the best song i have ever heard, when i listen to it i shiver.
