@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
You must be broken
By a thousand ways of wasting time
Get to the point
And off a hundred lines a week
No need to change my mind
A cleaner shade of thinking time
But I seem to think more than I act upon most things.
[Chorus]
Do you ever wonder
How hard you hit?
You broke my thunder
Do you ever wonder
How hard you hit?
You broke my thunder
God made this night for me, a silly devil in me talking
Romantic company for walking, Over and outâ?¦Over and outâ?¦
This year is the year I want to be, that silly devil in me talking
Romantic company for walking, Over and outâ?¦Over and outâ?¦
[Chorus]
I'm cramped and crawling from under the dead
I'm sick of living without you in bed
I've made mistakes that I wroteâ?¦That I readâ?¦
But now I just can't seem to be preoccupied
The heart was tossed with a black lace chain
With these hands that I write with
And the ode that I live byâ?¦
I will never be with you.
A scar was sewn
A drop of blood was saved for making wine
Still no repent
On how you crumble when I shake
A mental jaw was used
To pry me from this wrecking bond
The sad detail is all the promises I make.
[Chorus]
By a thousand ways of wasting time
Get to the point
And off a hundred lines a week
No need to change my mind
A cleaner shade of thinking time
But I seem to think more than I act upon most things.
[Chorus]
Do you ever wonder
How hard you hit?
You broke my thunder
Do you ever wonder
How hard you hit?
You broke my thunder
God made this night for me, a silly devil in me talking
Romantic company for walking, Over and outâ?¦Over and outâ?¦
This year is the year I want to be, that silly devil in me talking
Romantic company for walking, Over and outâ?¦Over and outâ?¦
[Chorus]
I'm cramped and crawling from under the dead
I'm sick of living without you in bed
I've made mistakes that I wroteâ?¦That I readâ?¦
But now I just can't seem to be preoccupied
The heart was tossed with a black lace chain
With these hands that I write with
And the ode that I live byâ?¦
I will never be with you.
A scar was sewn
A drop of blood was saved for making wine
Still no repent
On how you crumble when I shake
A mental jaw was used
To pry me from this wrecking bond
The sad detail is all the promises I make.
[Chorus]

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Only four comments? Whats wrong with you people! I ADORE this song so much infact it just might be my favorite. I think this song can be related to several things. The first one would be the obvious about a guy in a relationship. That they want to make it work but so much shit has happend between them they can never be with one another, cause its neither a healthy or happy relationship. From "you broke my thunder" it sounds like it was kinda an abusive relationship not physicly but verbily, also it could be that they broken up. Though my other interpetation is its about drugs and he is kinda talking to his other self when he abused drugs saying to himself pretty much does he know how much he hurt himself? ill write more once I figure everything out.
DISCLAIMER I have just obtained a copy of Justin Furstenfeld's book Crazy Making. It's not very detailed, but it contains all the lyrics to all current (The Answers - Approaching Normal) Blue October songs, and his inspiration behind them. As I said, it's not very detailed, but it's his words on every Blue October song that is in the book. I know everyone interprets a song differently from everyone else, but having the original intent behind the song will be helpful to people who don't fully understand a song. Also, any grammatical errors are not made by me, I'm putting down Justin's words exactly how he writes them. So yea... enjoy :)
Conversation via Radio (Do You Ever Wonder): "Pay phone rings. God calls you. This is just how my conversation would go."
I'm gonna be like the half the people on here and say 'i can't believe no one commented this', haha, nothing like trying to feel like a hot shot.
anyway, this is my fav. song off of consent, check it out
this song is great one of blue octobers best. the great thing about this song is in the bridge the lead singer goes from sounding like ed rowland of collective soul to dave matthews yet pulls it off, tremendous
hmm, the chord progression sounds just like beck's where its at...
Its is easy... Do you know hat you have done to me? You fucked me up in the head. Did you even care about how you treated me? Becuae now I am just as crazy as you.
Its the question everyone asks after they've been hurt: do you have any idea how badly you've hurt me? This song is basically saying that you've hurt me more than i've ever been before. you took away everything i had going in my life, took away all meaning and now im a piece of empty nothingness, completely crushed beyond all hope.
awesome song love this part so much how the music changes love it !
"Cus God made this night for me A silly devil in me talking Romantic company for walking Over and out Over and out"
Coming to the realization that you are alone and will never be with that person in a relationship again. It's like he's looking back on it,(retrospect) <br /> <br /> "Cus God made this night for me<br /> A silly devil in me talking<br /> Romantic company for walking<br /> Over and out<br /> Over and out" Every time I hear this bridge at the end of the song it gives me goosebumps, I can't even explain it really, I think for some reason it's how he says a silly devil in me talking, I don't know how to explain it! Awesome Song!!!
I really have no idea what this song is about, and was kinda disappointed to see that nobody left any comments about the meaning.
This is one of my favourite Blue October songs, though.
I think its saying like maybe "we were about to start a relationship and I wanted it with all my being, but,you broke me inside and no matter how bad I want you, and I do, because of how I am, we will never be together, now.
and on the flipside, another interpretation could be
You changed me forever, by showing me how to love. I won't settle with you, and I have my reasons. But know that the changes you made me in me will always be.
