Kaite Come True

this is a great song. these lyrics are wrong, though.. what does this song mean? is he talking about a girl he loves, but can't have? or, my friend brought up the interesting idea that she is entirely in his imagination... although, on Lifted, a Bright Eyes album (they are on the same record label, Saddle Creek), in the credits, there is someone named Kaite Murphy. Kaite isn't a popular name... is he just using this girl's name to give his imaginary perfect lover a name? the idea that she is imaginary seems most likely, because he says: Kaite will you come true for me Come buy some time while I'm awake Everyone else just lies to me They say you're a dream

When he's awake, meaning every time he has seen her is when he's asleep. and he also describes her as being invisible, etc.

Bright Eyes does this song too...or Son, Ambulance never did it and it was mistakenly put under their lyrics. Oh well, Son, Ambulance is better for the most part anyway.

the song is about his ex-girlfriend and dealing with change in relationships. it's really nicely done.

Bright Eyes never covered this song: it was put on the Bright Eyes/Son, Ambulance split CD "Oh, Holy Fools."

If you downloaded this off a p2p program, it was probably under the artist of Bright Eyes. This song is on a Bright Eyes/Son, Ambulance split called "Oh, holy fools" which I highly suggest picking up. Conor sounds nothing like Joe Knapp.

the lyric "the rain shall come/and corpses become roses/there's a hidden beauty finding it's way out of everything" was such a special lyric to me while my grandfather was dying. This is one of a handful of truly special songs that i have heard.

I think this song could mean just being lonely and wanting someone to love you. Wanting them to come true or actually be real, and he seems to want to stop wishing for the right person for himself and that they'd just be real.

just to let everyone who was curious about the actual meaning of the song know..

it's a song written about joe's high school sweetheart. they broke up after he got another girl pregnant and this song sort of shows how he tried to make her fit into his new life but failed.

wow,he got a girl pregnant? its like a fucking soap oprea,straight out of Omaha..
