Brand New – In a Jar Lyrics 14 years ago
The "the sun is just a hole; it's the light outside" line is actually

"The sun is just a hole. What is the light outside?"

I didn't really get the cave allegory feel from this. However, there's a series called everworld where they theorize that the sky in that dimension is just a bowl with holes in it and the stars aren't real. I thought that was cool.

Say Anything – The Church Channel (feat. Hayley Williams) Lyrics 15 years ago
I don't think this is to be taken on a literal level. I think it's a metaphor for when he was in the hospital (his breakdowns and such) that he lost his music and when he found it (or it found him) it was what saved him. Check it:

“oh, don’t you remember me? is your mind that worn?
(Right there, if this were a girl why would she ask Max if he remembers her? He says earlier he doesn't know the 'girl')

we both were born to be one with that which the public scorned
(Emo, hence the 'genre', is looked down upon by the general public)

though you were forlorn in despair with your drugs and your hardcore porn
(He was so into drugs and jacking it he lost his artistic drive)

trust me, those days won’t be mourned. so lay your head on me.”
(Those days are behind us, don't worry, put your faith in me.)

I also have a different interpretation for the last line, that he could use his past experiences for songs, see the "won't be mourned". They won't be, because Max used them for inspiration.

Atmosphere – Puppets Lyrics 16 years ago
I think the 'pointing fingers' part is where people shirk off responsibilities like you blame god for something or your parents for how you were brought up or when you were a lil' kid you'd blame santa for not getting the presents you wanted.
