He certainly did earn that reputation.
Hold in your last breath and stare
Assure me your metronome's left arm stick shift
Is stuck on the right words in your ear
Did you hear me loud and clear, in sight and out of mind?
Cautiously avoiding the cracks
Not to disturb your steadied-arm straight line
The facts before a climb, a plan before a crime
Tired in the days that passed away
Sporadically arranged across your floor when you've got it made
Dear Mariah
The world's not big enough for the both of us
When we live in the same town, that's wrong
Fight on, fire (fight on, fire)
I'll burn my hands 'til I've got nothing left
To count my numbers on, that's wrong
What's right?
Wise-ass comments could cheer you up
The emotional disturbance, relax, deep breath, sit back
From the space in which you stand
Here and in demand
Don't touch a fresh wound that bleeds
All over your carpets, the stains, the storybook remains
And the page that states you've lied
Accept and then reply, acknowledge the other guy
Tired in the days that passed away
Sporadically arranged across the floor when you've got it made (days that passed away)
Dear Mariah
The world's not big enough for the both of us
When we live in the same town, that's wrong
Fight on, fire (fight on, fire)
I'll burn my hands 'til I've got nothing left
To count my numbers on
Don't change your mind when all's been won
Your words, in time, with the loss that you'd let them go
Don't let them fall if your grip's not strong
In time, decide, with the words that you'd let them go
Don't let them fall if your grip's not strong
Dear Mariah, come sleep in your own
Oh, dear Mariah, come sleep in your own
Well, dear Mariah, come sleep in your own
Oh, dear Mariah, come sleep in your own
When eye meets eye, become
We'll lie here alone, locked, our children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become
We'll lie here alone, locked, the children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become (your dreams can't last forever)
We'll lie here alone, locked, the children in the floor, in the floor
Father figure wraps his face up
He'll be coming home to you
(Who sat me down here?) (Your dreams can't last forever)
Locked, our children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become (who sat me down here?) (Your dreams can't last forever)
We'll lie here alone, locked, our children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become (who sat me down here?) (Your dreams can't last forever)
We'll lie here alone, locked, the children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become (who sat me down here?) (Your dreams can't last forever)
We'll lie here alone

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Actually...
This is when Jesse meets Mariah and they conspire to fight Wilhelm, who only appears in the last part of the song:
When eye meets eye, be calm Will lie here alone locked the children in the floor
He's revealing that Wilhelm is acting solely for himself, and that he was responsible for the deaths of Maria, Matthew and Josephine.
"Coheed and Cambria are NOT emo. They are pure ROCK. In fact, they are the revival of MELODIC rock. THey are just amazing. Of you think their lyrics are good, go listen to them. The guy can sing like no other. His range is rediculous. I love these guys. AMAZING. "
Sorry, someone went through and posted this on every other song, so I figured I would for this one.
this song is pretty good.... most of the song is alright but at the very end is sooo awesome.. I sing real loud in my room. Its fucking great, "When eye meets eye, your dreams cant last forever"...thats the best part of the song..good stuff. Im seeing them July 25 with FATA and Shai hulud. should be fun
Yeah i saw that show but on the 11th in Philly and it was one of the best shows i've ever been tto, all the bands rocked out and Coheed and cambria was awsome. though i never knew the lead singer kinda looks like Pele with the huge hair. hahahahaha they still rock
i've seen these guys live, they kick ass.. this is probably one of my favorite songs of theirs.. i dont really know what they're talking about in it but its awesome! alright later
I saw them on Thursday with From Autumn to Ashes. They rocked my socks off. This is a great song. I love the way he sings espeically the part where Claudio says "will lie here alone locked the children in the floor " . The tune is awesome to that.
As for the show on July 25th with FATA... at the epicenter i was there rock on.
i absolutly love the acoustic at the end of this song, fucking beautiful
i can't explain this song. it's just so wonderful. the opening guitar is just the best. it's a way of expressing anger nicely. i think he's mad at someone, but no matter how mad you get at someone, you still want them there.
in time decide... with the words you should let them go weee
