Walking away
It's not the same as running
Is it to you now
That you've run this in the ground
And you say, "Take this,
This medicine is just what you deserve.
Swallow, choke, and die."
And this bitter pill is leaving you with such an angry mouth
One that's void of all discretion, such an awful tearing sound
With it's measure only equalled by the power of my stare
Glaring over you and over you this feeling of despair is never wearing out
It's wearing off
And it's leaving you
With such a heavy heart
And a head to match
The bottle is waiting
The cap is twisted begging to be used
And so are you
And this bitter pill is leaving you with such an angry mouth
One that's void of all discretion, such an awful tearing sound
With it's measure only equalled by the power of my stare
Glaring over you and over you this feeling of despair is never wearing out
Wearing out
Wearing out
Wearing out
Wearing out
Wearing out
It's not the same as running
Is it to you now
That you've run this in the ground
And you say, "Take this,
This medicine is just what you deserve.
Swallow, choke, and die."
And this bitter pill is leaving you with such an angry mouth
One that's void of all discretion, such an awful tearing sound
With it's measure only equalled by the power of my stare
Glaring over you and over you this feeling of despair is never wearing out
It's wearing off
And it's leaving you
With such a heavy heart
And a head to match
The bottle is waiting
The cap is twisted begging to be used
And so are you
And this bitter pill is leaving you with such an angry mouth
One that's void of all discretion, such an awful tearing sound
With it's measure only equalled by the power of my stare
Glaring over you and over you this feeling of despair is never wearing out
Wearing out
Wearing out
Wearing out
Wearing out
Wearing out

@[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.
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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Several points I'd like to make:
Dashboard Confessional is not punk. Black Flag is punk. Minor Threat is punk. DC is not emo, either. Ever heard of Sunny Day Real Estate? Jets to Brazil? Texas is the Reason? sigh Please quit throwing around those labels because they're incorrect.
I was too impatient to read all four pages of interpretations, but from what I DID read, no one seemed to realize that a "bitter" pill is an idiom. A "bitter pill" is something difficult to accept. Put that into the context of the song and it makes things a bit more obvious.
My interpretation is as follows: The person he's referring to in the song has spent a whole lot of time avoiding the consequences of a mistake he/she made, and instead of accepting defeat, he/she lashes out and shifts the blame to other people. Eventually this denial begins to "wear off," leaving this person deflated, remorseful, and lonely. As for the "begging to be used..." part, I'm not entirely sure, but assuming the bottle is filled with pills, I think this person is probably too scared to actually "use" the bottle - instead, he/she will resort to the other forms of self-destruction associated with a complete and utter loss of hope.
I liked Dashboard more before he got the full band. The predominantly solo stuff is more honest, I think.
Oh, and this is a beautiful song.
he was way better by himself.<br /> dont get me wrong, him and the band have created some hits.<br /> but by himself, you could understand, and feel what he was saying alot better.<br /> he sounded human.<br />

@UHmericanKitsch thank god there are some of us left that grew up in the 90s, listening to good music that they used to call alternative and then all of a sudden these people Didn’t come from our lifestyle and we’re introduced to this kind of music and then start calling out all these weird names and making their identity out of it and gave it a bad name. It’s just good music BTW, Northeast PA and New Jersey also, New York base is where this music came from. Labels need not apply.
when i saw DB live a few yrs ago, he was crying when he sang this song and it touched everyone in the room. (not very much people in there though). I went again last month, he looked at the crowd and laughed and said "last time i came here, barely anyone knew about me..what happened?" but anyways the reason why i like DB so much is cause in his songs, you know exactly how he felt when he wrote it and expresses it well when he sings...he is the real meaning of emo.
that's why i like dashboard... and the lyrics in this song..you're right, this is truely emo.
I agree that this song is extremely emotional, but how can you classify it as emo? Do you really know the roots of emo music? If not I think you are rather mistaken. Don't get me wrong, i LOVE Chris, but this is not "truely emo" as you say.

i swear, i've always wondered how artists can sing sad songs and never cry. you'd think they'd be even more worked up, because they personally REALLY DO know what the songs are about. so i love how he cries at the end. i mean, it makes me feel bad, but you know.
ohh lord. his voice at the end i can't even explain. i get chills everytime i hear it. i play it on repeat everytime. once i start i can't stop....it's just amazing. you feel the emotion behind that ending just deep in your soul. it sounds corny but it's definitely hits you right in that place where all amazingly emotional songs hit you.

ahhh. speaking of listening to it on repeat, this will be my 7th time for right now listening. ohhhh it just hits me. you can actually FEEL his pain and it like tears at me inside when i hear it. i want to just cry with chris cause you can completely hear his pain in the ending....i just imagine how he feels and how personal that was to him....lordie begordie.
on a side note, chris used to babysit my boyfriend when he was a baby and his mom is best friends with my boyfriends mom. yes chris was like, 9 at the time, but hey it's cute all the same :)
Oh man, whenever i hear this song, i wanna cry. Chris is so amazing. I just went to a DC concert last week, and it was the best night of my life. this song is just so great... i love it
