I saw fireworks from the freeway and behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring
now something on the surface it stings
that something on the surface it kind of makes me nervous who says that you deserve this
and what kind of god would serve this?
[his friend charlie has cancer, but he doesn't deserve it. what kind of god would give charlie cancer?]
We will cure this dirty old disease
if you've got the poison I've got the remedy
[he wants to be able to cure the cancer..i think this line has a double meaning. he wants to be able to cure life being too short, with too much worrying and stress to really enjoy it. he doesn't have the cure for cancer, but he has the cure for wasting the short time we have in our life.]
the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
[the way to not waste your life is to take a risk.]
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
[it's a new way to look at things]
I say the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
[you're going to waste away your life worrying]
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.
[give your friends some time to shine too, because in the end all the attention that's been focused on you doesn't really matter.]
I wont worry my life away.
I wont worry my life away.
[um..self explanatory.]
I heard two men talking on the radio in a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
they were counting down the days to stab the brother in the be right back after this
[fighting..planning on stabbing one of their "friends" in the back..why fight when there's so little time here?..i don't really understand this part.]
the unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast his catastrophy
dance with me, because if you've got the poison, I've got the remedy
[i don't get this part either, but i love when he says "dance with me" :D ]
When I fall in love I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
[he doesn't waste his time on fake "loves" because he needs to find his only real love]
You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why
[he's still going to shine because he knows that if you don't worry, then you will be fine.]
[overall, this song is about how short life is..he realized how short it is when his friend got cancer. trust me, i know how it feels when someone you know has cancer. it's a slap in the face of how vulnerable we really are, and how we take everything for granted. it's a good song.
jadespider...wow that's a really good thought! i would have never thought of this song that way lol. but wow yeah it makes sense to be about war. after i read that i listened to it and it sounded like a whole new song :] that's why i love this website
