Cover art for Scattered lyrics by Third Eye Blind

Does anyone else thinkg about the indie/emo "scene" (hate that word) when they hear "when I was punk I was way more punk than you" "when i sold out i thought my lies out through and through" and the whole need to know the most obscure band ever? Most bands do one of two things, they either get big or break up, there are exceptions but still. Sorry for the mini-rant there.

I like how the majority of the song mentions destruction. "pulls the wings off", "wrote and forgot the song", the obvious relationship falling apart, the tombstone and losing your friends to selling out, "playing with pins to fill the void", the shotgun reference, "everyone struggles inside" and cumulating with "burn it all down lets take it higher". And its's all summed up by laughing when you really shouldnt, whether its to hide your real emotions or out of bitterness or just your response to what is happening.
