I, who took the money? Who took the money away? I, I, I, I, it's always showtime Here at the edge of the stage And I, I, I, wake up and wonder What was the place, what was the name? We wanna wait, but here we go again I, takes over slowly But doesn't last very long I, I, I, I, no need to worry Everything's under control O-U-T, but no hard feelings What do you know? Take you away We're being taken for a ride again I got a girlfriend that's better than that She has the smoke in her eyes She's coming up, going right through my heart She's gonna give me surprise I think it's right, better than this I think you can if you like I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair And nothing is better than that (Is it?) Down, down in the basement We hear the sound of machines I, I, I'm driving in circles Come to my senses sometimes Why, why, why, why start it over? Nothing was lost, everything's free I don't care how impossible it seems Somebody calls you but you cannot hear Get closer to be far away And only one look and that's all that it takes Maybe that's all that we need All that it takes, I'll bet it's right All it takes, if it's right I got a girlfriend that's better than that And she goes wherever she likes (There she goes) I got a girlfriend that's better than that Now everyone's getting involved She's moving up going right through my heart We might not ever get caught Going right through, try to stay cool Going through, staying cool I got a girlfriend she's better than that And nothing is better than you (Wait a minute) I got a girlfriend that's better than this But you don't remember at all As we get older and stop making sense You won't find her waiting long Stop making sense, stop making sense Stop making sense, making sense I got a girlfriend shes's better than that And nothing is better than this (Is it?)	zu7r5HdgO9iHBGIb	3530822107858543594	"i got a girlfriend with bows in her hair and nothing is better than that"that's a nice romantic line, it brings the scrambled meaning of these lyrics somewhat closer together. I think the song references various subtle emotions experienced in a relationship and how at the end of the day having someone makes everything seem better. verdant75on December 23, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

It's because those guys do blow before every concert or something insane. Lyrics are self explanatory. Just the attitude that I guess you should have if you're in a relationship.

Yea Umphrey's like blow you can just see it on their face in videos watch what's his name the mashup with thriller and another brick. The professional one.

I was telling a friend last night cocaine is kind of like that girl except it can never be like that Rolling Stones song "Under My Thumb" you can't act a certain way to make it yours it never will be. It's a chase elusive. Knowing that with that drug is so important. Take the come down when it's easy. I wouldn't waste too much effort on the lyrics. bkabbotton May 18, 2014 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

It's about blow. You know coke you look at it the reason I haven't had problems with it is because of how I've treated the drug. It's cool to play this song if you're a party band but the drug has a dark underbelly it destroys people ruins their lives. I think it's dumb to say all drugs are drugs. But this is a drug. I don't think I could ever be a musician sober and I guess when I have a 9-5 a routine I"m running I won't well the grass is greener. Being a sober musician that's something I could never do. I guess I better finish cleaning my apartment I should start running soon. bkabbotton May 18, 2014 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Actually, its harder, but "25,000 times as hard" isn't quite as singable =)Maybe Chris isn't doing the breaking up, maybe he's being broken up with:Clean as a whistle (a clean break)Smellin' like a rose (as in she "comes out smelling like a rose")She got no dirty little fingers (her hands are clean)Bloodshot eyes are gone (she's not crying this time)Just my humble opinion..joedrums8aon February 20, 2009 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

This guy left his woman because of drugs (1st goodbye). Then he comes back for her funeral (due to the drugs), and THAT goodbye was "twice as hard". "Tell me I'm wrong" means he is in denial of her death or at least wishing she wasn't. "no more bloodshot eyes" -- she's dead. kris&jeffon June 23, 2007 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

She found a mountain that was far too high...she couldn't fly (she found fame but couldn't handle it) Too many lives to lead (her own and the lives she's expected to front). Too many mountains and not enough stairs...(too many expectations but with short comings).

There is an awesome version on Youtube. donutbanditon October 29, 2007 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I was listening to it recently, and in particular, the lines:"She found a mountain that was far too high,And when she found out she couldn’t fly,It was too late." After hearing those lines again, I immediately thought of suicide. The notion of an individual heading down this dark, lonely path is reflected in the line "it was too late," with death being the end. No chance left to save "her." clancaston October 01, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

The song is sung in the character of the girls brother, who is seeking forgiveness from the mother, for having failed in his duties as protector of the sister, as he shares his anguish at her loss. The family in question is very religious and the "sun" she has lost, is actually the Jesus figure, the "son" of God. The break with the references to too many churches and not enough truth, was what led me to those associations. Years later finding out about Backman's being raised in a devout Mormon home, tended to confirm what I had thought. He was certainly not above including religious ideas into his pop songs. Ask any Mormon about the "Share The Land" lyrics. A great jazzy rock song, that swings and features one of the few scat singing appearances in rock/pop. I always wondered what Blood, Sweat and Tears could have done with this song, it seems to call out for a nice horn arrangement. tubeornot2bon September 15, 2012 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

"House of the Rising Sun" was a heroin den. Undun: dead or dying due to an overdose of heroin. Song Meaning:* "didn't know what she was headed for" ==> heroin is frequently cut with other substances to make it more or less potent. This means taking a dose is risky since you don't know how much the correct dose is. She was taking too much but this was unintentional. * "found what she was headed for but it was too late" ==> . Heroin is injected all at once, so determining dosage has to be done ahead of time, once it's in, there's no getting it out. * "she's lost the sun" . ==> she's dead from an overdose, she can't have anymore sun (heroin) because she's deceased. Pretty simple. The song has a lament feel to it, as well, that this death was preventable in a sense, that it was an accident and a tragedy. It also has a storytelling vibe, because he's describing what happened to this person as an explanation. Ending with 'no, no, no...' ==> frequent to deny as part of grief, it's one of the "5 stages of grief" (google that if you're wondering, it's long-established medical info on how people mourn). kevin10809on July 10, 2018 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

For example the chorus:And now, I'll stop the storm if it rainsI'll light up a path far from hereI'll make your fear melt awayAnd the world we know disappearSeems like the first line refers to the story of Jesus calming the storm on the sea with the apostles. Second line just refers to Jesus as a symbol of light, lighting the way to Heaven,The third line seems to refer to the whole "Do not be afraid" thing, and that you can always feel safe with Him. And the last line I think refers to the end of the world and the Final JudgementLastly, I think the title of the song "The Gift" simply refers to Jesus as God's gift to the world. The verses don't really match up with this interpretation, but it just seems like the chorus is all about it. jmfan11on March 04, 2010 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I love the beginning how it gives you that good feel. it reminds me of a sunny day. my favorite part is when it's gets very powerful at the pre-chorus "And suddenly, you've done it all. you've won me over, in no time at all"I think the song is about getting "the gift" or a relationship or a person, and just being happy and wanting to do whatever you can for that person. and making "the world [you] know disappear" and all of the bad things go away so everything is good :)RecklessAbandonon May 31, 2006 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I thought the person was "The Gift" but as i heard the song more and more i realized that he is also talking about a relationship with god. if you look at the stanza below i think tom is talking about how a relationship can end when he says "You left me all up in arms and confused" and that is also the pain mentioned in the second stanza. but what is the "joy of this pain"? simple, the joy is how god is there no matter what unlike a person. after the 6th stanza he stops talking about a realtionship with a person and starts talking about a relationship with god.

After Green had heard the new recording of his demo "I Can Tell... (There Was An Accident Here Earlier)" with Cove Reber on vocals, it felt like he was listening to the ghost of his former self -- since Reber's voice is very similar to Green's -- hence, "Didn't I know you?" and "A stranger's just someone that you've forgotten. How will we know if we've met before or done this dance, Mystery man?". However, Green has also admitted that Juturna is indeed based on the plot and of "Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", but with his life in mind. thebeardon August 31, 2005 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

"didn't i know you" is also from this scene. though it is also possible that it is from the scenes after the memory wipe. danisonfireon March 20, 2006 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Dilation means to make larger, and when you're talking about eyes, dilating the pupils is making them larger. Referring back to ESOTSM, I think what he's saying is that all we have left is this quick moment of time to see each other before we're gone from each other's lives forever.

But most of the lyrics are pretty much insulting right from the beginning. "we and our words are over produced by influence" in Act Appalled. "Forced, we forced feeding you lines" "I know what it feels like giving into something you don't understand" from Glorious Nosebleed. Deeply looking into it, Green simply was over what Saosin was becoming. Maybe just creative differences or the label and fanbase turning them into what Green didn't want. But you could definitely see small concealed emotions of bitterness or whatever. In The Great Golden Baby all of the verses covertly insult another band and calling their music humorous and desperate right down to saying when they need a place to hide(or better material for music IMO) they should find Green. Maybe it's true or maybe I'm just a crazy stoner. But there's def something else other than Eternal Sunshine references. DevilxInxJCon May 15, 2010 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Everyone argues points like this on the tenclub website. Although I respect the variance of opinnion, I can not laugh at how silly it is to think that great songwriters like Eddie love to talk about drugs and getting off them. I can assure you that going cold turkey off of anything takes longer than 3 days for suddenly everything to seem simple. Again, I think other people are right- it's about Charles Bukowski, the writer. Go read Bukowski and you'll understand. abistroion November 23, 2010 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Isolation, self-realization, and psychedelia are prominent... and often entwined... in PJ's "art rock" albums... Vitalogy to Riot Act, basically... and In Hiding is no exception. Sometimes in concerts, he sings "I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened, I was stoned as hell" or something like that. But even without the drug-ness, this song could be seen as just taking a bit of time away from it all, to yourself, to re-think your approach to life, and come out that much smarter.

For whatever reason, you take a few days alone. To isolate yourself:"I shut and lock the front door. No way in or out. I turned and walked the hallway, and pulled the curtains down. I knelt and emptied the mouth of every plug around." Then you think, you relax, you get apart from what you've been doing, you just leave it where it is based on what you had just done (I stayed where my last step left me). You feel like you see things in a new light, hence the "enlightened" near the end:"I stayed where my last step left me. Ignored all my roundsSoon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls. Oh. They were upside down. Oh. Oh. I swallow my words to keep from lying. I swallow my face just to keep from biting. I, I... I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving. Diving. I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened. Now I'm..."And afterwards, a few days or whatever, you are no longer overwhelmed, and after just thinking about life or whatever has kept you overwhelmed, things seem to change and get simpler. The last lyric to me means that most of the time the change in situations is due to people just changing how they think and their state of mind. That's what this story is talking about: setting yourself apart, thinking, and changing a state of mind, whether deliberate or not. "It's been about three days now since I've been aground. No longer overwhelmed. And it seems so simple now. It's funny when things change so much, it's all state of mind." headofradioon August 23, 2013 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I demand nothing But I want it all What privilege do we have under the sun That give us right to the throne?

The author does not exclude himself from this criticism, because he himself "want[s] it all". Then, the next stanca seems to be a description of evolution - the picture of the river running into the sea fits quite nicely: evolution is an ongoing stream of creatures and species who slowly mutate, die out or become. The "fast" standing earth builds a strong contrast to all this dynamic movement. This is really a relativation of man's position in nature. The third stanca is where things become a bit fuzzy, I think. The "lonliness" is a very important part of the song - it corresponds to the "silence" and the "untouched spring" mentioned in the refrain. Men are said to be wandering "alone through the years" and maybe the author points to the strength every human pretends to have - nobody likes to "show his wounds", i.e. to reveal his weakness. Still, the refrain cries for the listener to read "what is written in the soul", to "understand" the authors inner conflict, his "burdens", but without getting "near": the author is himself not able to show his weakness, he is also human. There is the wish to be "two steps ahead" - even more than just in the future, but really far ahead, leaving all the worldly pain behind. Death is not really seen in a negative way here - rather the time before death, because his body, the material part of his life, "will be bent from the burdens", so maybe there is even a positive view to death and a wish for what will be afterwards. edxon May 22, 2004 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I never ever was anywjhere around extreme metal. I didn't look at Death Metal that much. I used to play Tony Hawk games and then I heard this track. THUG has a good soundtrack. But anyway I heard this and I shat myself. I loved it so much. It was a gateway. It gave me a new hook on music that I never fathomed before. The growling is top notch. The guitars are just freakin awesome. Colony will always be my favorite album because of shit like the magestic guitar riffs and the dark brutal yet melodic feel. Anders vocals compromise the already incredible music to a newer hight. I never liked death vocals or anything like that but on this he shows how fucking brutal he is because on this album I just can't get over how intense the vocals are. It's unworldly. clay-manon April 11, 2008 Link1 Reply Log in to replyThere was an error. @clay-manThat's exactly how I got into this band. I was playing THUG and I heard this song and thought it was awesome. I never liked metal but this song changed that and I am now a self-proclaimed metalhead. Ever since, this has been my favorite In Flames song.

From there it moves to humans inability to understand each other. We all want to reach out to one another, but this want is tempered by an anxiety and fear. We are afraid that other will see us for what we are if we let them near, so we hide our true selves from one another. This conflict is becoming too much to bear, and finally result in a cry for help. He is afraid to tell you how he feels, so he begs you to try and intuitively read what is written in his mind without him telling you. Please understand me. Then, he backs it up and revals how this is a conflict that we all have to deal with. We all have to read the silence of others in order to understand how they feel and interact with them on a day to day basis. But, then he brings the focus of the song back into the individual. Nobody is understanding, the internal conflict is becoming too great, and a chasm is opening. Because of the stain there is an earthquake in his mind. If only the impossible was possible. monkeymule2on December 04, 2006 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

My Ex-and I love each other deeply, but we can never seem to keep things together in a relationship for good. On our collective 1 year anniversary last september we were getting ready for my homecoming dance and we were sitting in a walgreens just talking about stuff, until we both realized it was our 1 year anniversay. He cursed quietly, and said he felt bad because he had no gift for me. I told him it was okay, that I didn't need a present. Then this song came on and I'll never forget the huge grin on his face when he looked up and said "Thank you walgreens!" and he actually grabbed my hand, brought his face close to my ear, and started singing this song to me. (And he is actually pretty good at singing.) That memory was the best gift he could have given me.
