This is the second in my HIL series - its been awhile but thats practically how long it takes to figure out what this band is on about (lyric-wise) So heres my best shot:
There is a monster in my room we discussed movies over coffee
And I think it's quite absurd he got hungry,
licked his lips, shook my hand, and tried to eat me.
And it's getting on my nerves
(Well since we all should know by now, He is Legend has aimed to criticize the vast being of Hollywood. This song is no different - The "monster" is Hollywood/a media representative who just invited themselves into the lives and career of He Is Legend (or any band) - hungry to pounce upon a potential gold mine of a kickass band. But He is Legend thinks this is absurd and is not the way to be successful in the music industry - and to be frank its getting on the nerves of the band)
Don't you think it's strange that I've been reading,
and I still don't know how to kill you
(The band asks this media representative if he finds it the least bit odd that after all the - ironically - bad press the media has been receiving from everyone critiquing thier greedy headstrong marketing schemes they still don't know how to silence this garbage)
I'm trying hard not to meet you when I'm sleeping,
still don't know how to kill you
(The band, like many others, dream of being famous, but this is one musical group who will not dream about making it famous by selling out/changing their beleifs and style)
I've got tickets to show I know no one will be attending
And think that you should go
(Maybe this is about how the band would rather play shows for their fans that matter for all the right reasons, even if hardly any show up)
I don't mind your complexion or the fact you are bleeding
It's just the way that it goes
(Unsure - maybe the band likes it when people go crazy for their music and mosh/get a little bit hurt cuz thats the spirit of rock and roll? He Is Legend perhaps don't care if their fans are unorthadox because if it was any other way it would be sleazy coporate pimps and fans who only like one or two songs and like the band for the wrong reasons)
I don't mind the shape your head is in
I've just got to watch you explode
(The band muses that they don't really care just how big the heads are of these media hound dogs. They can keep tryin to persuade and tempt them but this band is just going to keep doing what they do until the music industry explodes and cannot handle the fact that bands will hopefully decide to stop selling out and making music for the quick fix)
