"Yeah, this is the Robbers that opened for Brand New. I bought their newest EP off of iTunes, and I got some of their older music off youtube and their myspace (myspace.com/robbers). I agree, they're amazing."

"i think it's sort of about him being unable to commit to any relationship/take anything seriously in that regard and him wanting to change and mature.

i've always seen "drearily bloodletting this bedwetting cosmonaut" as him wanting to rid himself of the melodramatic heart break that was Deja.

Drop me a line with a hook and some raw bleeding bait
For I am uncaught and still swimming alone in the lake
- these 2 lines are him saying he's grown older but is still alone/single and he wants someone to "catch" him

Shimmering under a moon made in anger and haste
(I was the one who was always repeating it)
- this could be "(i am)shimmering, made in anger and haste"
which could maybe be like anger and haste always cause him to end relationships and he keeps doing it.

Shimmering like a penny out of reach in the subway grating
(Shimmering like a coin kept safe away, you never give in to anything)
- this could be an outsiders view of him, like "you're always out of reach and never give into any of your emotions"

the only thing that sorta doesn't fit is the bridge but it could be interpreted as jesse being left by someone because he couldn't be all these things, like able to be open and show his emotions.

idk. just my theory."

"honestly one of the best new songs. it's so beautiful. i have no idea what it's about but i think it's great."

"You gotta swim
Tonight's the moment
Swim for your family
Your mothers your sisters
Your brothers your friends
You gotta swim
For wars without cause
Swim for these lost politicians
Who don't see their greed is a flaw
The currents will pull us
Away from our love
Just keep your head above


this part reminds me so so much of the dresden dolls song sing."

"okay so if beulah didnt sing this song does anyone know who did? everywhere i look it says beulah..."

"this song is in a commercial for j.c.penny,
and that grosses me out."

"i like this song as a singular song being different from the rest, but i hope they don't revamp their style. i doubt X 45374 they will."

"i think the first two words are "busted lips" not "busted plans"."

"i think the first two words are "busted lips" not "busted plans"."

"favorite song off the new cd."
