Generation X-Wing

this song was realeased on the 5 track cd "raygun" in 1997, i think it is about how he is a loser in his own mind. but he used to think it was going to get better, now he just accepted it, and doesen't care.

I think this is one of my favorite songs by MGB

It's a song about a person that knows they are a loser, but they don't care. Pretty much how I accept myself.

I just heard this on Matt's Myspace page, And I absolutely love it, And it does seem like it's about someone who thinks there a loser...

I think the thoughts on this song so far have taken parts of the song as obviously as possible, and ignored other parts.

Certainly there stands something to be said for not feeling like you're good enough, but the line about being a loser comes on the heals of "the man you loved devoured". It seems a sort of testament to not being who he once was.

Then there's the blatant cry for help of "help me up with a pair of wings..."

This song is so much more than self-pity and self-loathing. Certainly, there may be elements of those feelings, but it seems like a self-reflection that runs much deeper than that.

I'd love to hear Matt's comments on this song though.

I think this is a song about getting dumped. Love is soul crushing and it tore a piece of said person apart. He feels like a shadow of what he once was when she loved him. She made him feel better than he saw himself, and her only felt that way cause of her, now he see's himself completely negatively. The part about the sister I would think would be something about how he was never satisfied and looking back he should of been cause he just bever realized what she meant till she was gone.

Thats not the best interpretation I'll admit but you get the point. Only Matt knows.
