Cover art for Big Apple Heart lyrics by Craig Owens

i think the title is big apple big heart. thanks for the lyrics though. my opinion has been skewed by the recent news but just consider it.

"i'm about to leave this town that's left me feeling so empty"...reference to problems w/ chiodos, maybe?
"and i'll show i'm only alright when i'm up there, i'm only me when i'm up there"...he forgets about all his problems when he performs thus being "alright" "as i pack my things i check both my empty pockets, and there's still nothing there, no, there's still nothing there"...since we keep important things in our pockets, things that are/were important to him have disappeared and in his heart, he hopes they haven't so he seems to check again (sounds like he checks twice in the song).

"i turn and smile to her as i walked out her door and i said i'm only alright when i'm up there, i'm only me when i'm up there" draws so much emotion from me. it feels like he tries to communicate both bliss and despair. so far, fav song off the debut.
