I interviewed Matt Skiba yesterday and asked him what this song title meant and he said years ago he was a bike messenger and he had a friend named Virgil who was also a messenger. But over their radios they didn't call eachother by name. So Virgil's call name was 53... and they would go out and have lunch, smoke pot, hang out, or whatever so Matt would call him up and refer to him as "5-3"... and when Virgil called him, Matt would respond with "5-3-10-4" and go meet up with him wherever he was.
@RockNRoze hi I know this has been 20 years since you made this comment it would be really cool if you saw this. So what did he say that it had to do with the song though?the new light of dawn discovered my ungrateful eyes?through five three eyes? but what does that have to do with his friend Virgil? Wait a minute as I write that I'm thinking about the only other Virgil that I know and that's the one from Dante's inferno. I didn't think about that at all until now ...but I'm sure that has nothing to...
