| Thrice – The Lion and the Wolf Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Little Red Riding Hood anybody, how often does a wolf get into your bed? Unless your an unwitting grandma Of course, he seems to posing as mans best friend, a dog, and therefore he's probably more curled up on the bed rather than in it wearing a bonnet. I think that it's pretty much a tale of a wolf in dogs clothing taken a bit further |

I agree with the cynical perspective, and I think that it is revealed by the last stanza when he says that he's giving his body up to the flames, i.e. hell. The 'all other things' that fade away refers to all of the other things that he mentioned in the previous stanzas. I think that this song takes inspiration from the following verses Matthew (5 or 6) 21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' |

| We can try and interpret it. Seems like he descends, sees a shark, gets scared, shark goes away, and comes back...then he ascends. That's my simple interpretation of it... | |

“For [“Night Diving”], we ended up making this whole plot outline of what’s happening in the song, even though there are no lyrics. That was how we decided on the different movements—when they’d come up, and when they’d come down,” Kensrue says. “It’s the story of this guy diving at night, and the things that he encounters. That was a pretty interesting way to write a song; we definitely had never done anything like that before.” http://www.vagrant.com/artist/index/33 Thanks for MontisFacio3 for the link heads-up |

| I think that the abrupt ending is them drowning. It takes a bit from Atlantis, the 'lost continent' | |

Upon arriving at the New World, Hernan Cortes destroyed his ships, not by fire, but later myth had him destroying them by fire. http://www.jstor.org/view/00182133/ap020195/02a00030/0 There might be other historical precedence as well |

| Dustin said that they all had a similar ending. I listened for it, but must not be musically inclined enough to find it :) | |
| Thrice – The Flame Deluge Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The allusion to the Bible wasn't first Dustins, it was Millers in A Canticle for Leibowitz, in which the nuclear war was called The Flame Deluge | |

wait. I get tired of having to look through lyric corrections and that crap before getting to the good stuff. If you didn't know, deluge = flood pretty much, to be more on topic |

You spelled main wrong. Main is, I believe, an abbreviation of main deck. Thanks for the link |

The Flame Deluge is an allusion to an event in Walter Miller's Cantical for Leibowitz. The book takes place in a post apocalyptic world, where the nuclear war that devasted the earth is referred to as 'The Flame Deluge' Dresden and Guernica were both sites of heavy aerial bombardment where many civilian lives were taken. Dresden in WWII, Duernica in the Spanish Civil War. I think that hiding among the smallest things refers to atoms and thus atomic bombs. 'Ferried above' has to do with bombers, as does 'waiting in the winds.' I'm not sure, however what 'the smallest thread' refers to |

| Thrice – Digital Sea Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think digital sea is about the dehumanization and loss of individuality created by todays digital age. The narrator wakes to find himself afloat in the digital sea, instead of in his lovers/friends/families arms. The “God what is it we have done” seems like it could be someone drowning in the digital sea that man has created, i.e. what have we done that now so consumes and drowns us. His voice going to ones and zeroes is a reference to binary, the ‘language’ by which computers think. Descarte is most famous for ‘I think, therefore I am’ I think he is calling himself wrong because, in the digital age, people can think, but the really aren’t, they just float around, or (also possible, and ironic) is that they give themselves internet personalities that think, but aren’t people. Lastly, the siren songs are those of the digital age, which are hard to resist. I wouldn’t view this as a call out against all things digital, but rather against those, who, like the narrator, are ‘tangled in nets’ and are not incapable of setting themselves free, but unwilling because of the strong song of the sirens. |

| Mae – Mistakes We Knew We Were Making Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"What can now be said Oh, little one on the other side Dance until the band stops playing Sing with all your might" Other side could mean inside the mom, or it could be after birth when they keep all the babies in a room and the parents are on the other side of the glass. It isn't talking about death. The second half of that stanza is their exhortation to the baby. |
