oh, the second set of lyrics I quoted was taken from Konstantine, but anyone listening to Jack's Mannequin should know where those lyrics are from without having to have someone tell them! :-)

Jack's Mannequin – Last Straw Lyrics 18 years ago
I could be totally wrong, but here's my take.

It's blatantly obvious (As several have already states) that this song is about the friction that is caused by them being apart. His girlfriend doesn't like that he is on the road 24/7 and that he can't be with her all the time. She wants him to focus on her instead of what he is doing, but he just can't or maybe he does but it never seems enough for her.

This song is probably based off of his real life. Several of the songs he wrote with SoCo revolve around the theme of being away from the person you love as well because of being on the road constantly.

from breakmyself-->
"And you're in pieces
As your world becomes a rainstorm
You've got no shelter I'm a thousand miles away
If you survive the day

You say your leaving
You say your leaving

Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days my... reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much
"

"I had these dreams that I might learn to play guitar
maybe across the country - become a rockstar
and there was hope in me that I could take you there
but dammit you're so young
well I don't think I care and if I hurt you then I'm sorry
please don't think that this was easy..."


one note, where was this song released? Was it on a single? or an import version of the album? I didn't even know it existed til i decided to check lyrics online instead of just looking at the cd booklet...

Dido – See The Sun Lyrics 20 years ago
I don't think this is a break up speech...

His wife or girlfriend died, and she is trying to console him and trying to convince him that life will go on and things will get better. He should remember her, but not continuously mourn her forever.

Great Song, one of my favorites.

Ben Folds – There's Always Someone Cooler Than You Lyrics 20 years ago
Yeah, it probably doesn't have many comments because its off the pre-release album Sunny 16.

It is one of my top 3 Ben Folds's songs.

I really like it because it is very true. No matter how cool you strive to be, there will always be someone out there that you meet that is "cooler" than you in some way. It's inevitable. So why try to be the coolest? Just live for yourself and be content with yourself and life will be beautiful.

Ben Folds – All U Can Eat Lyrics 20 years ago
This song is off his pre-release album Sunny 16.

I love this song. It hits home with me and it is basicly describing some of the "high and mighty" people in America and their habits of caring only for themselves. He's saying that they don't care about anything except themselves and what gives them pleasure.

Ben Folds owns :-)
