Lame

I am actually very familar with this song. Seven Mary Three is from The College of William and Mary, my alma mater. I know the "tall, mulatto boy." He was a very smart austistic young man. He was a weird one...but extremely nice. The point of the song is not that he is "lame" but we are lame for making fun of him...which, incidently, a lot of people did, including me. When I hear this song, it constantly reminds me of how cruel we can be to other people. Fantastic song from a fantasic band!

this is a beautiful song.. means so much to me, i can relate to the guy in the song, and ive also felt the guilt of the guy singing too, im sure most ppl have

• the corner of his GLASS ?

this song caught my attention with "there's a tall, a mulatto, boy i know. he comes to every party and he stands alone." i think it's describing how those who are mulatto, like myself, feel about their ethnicity. almost caught between two worlds, never really being accepted by either race. sometimes you feel as if people stare while trying to figure you out. he sings about the mulatto boy being caged, and i think it's relating to that feeling. as well as the realization from a different perspective. but songs mean different things to different people.

i think its about the person's guilt when he judges and mistreats someone he doesnt even know. he feels bad because he knows how it makes him feel when people do it to him, and its obvious that he has hurt the boy.

Yeah, I think this song is about someone being embarrassed and ashamed of the way he judged and/or treated a boy without even knowing him. He's feeling guilty for his actions and he's begging for forgiveness.

This song is weird because it sounds like a females view point. It sounds like a female wrote this song or its based on the songwriters female friend who had feelings for a black guy in some school which seems college based on a comment here. I think she regrets having ignored him since he mentions she was lame and that she ignored him because she wanted to fit into the crowd yet she had feelings for him . The black guy seems to have been a minority in the school. Only a female into a guy would notice him and later admit that she had regrets that she didn't get to know him.

Sorry for multiple comments had typos in it.

I love this song, so emotianal.

Very awsome song, realy emotional.. I think its about some one who's an outcast, and the person who notices feels wierd talking to him.. I just love this song, and I'm glad other poeple have commented on it!
