Also, I absolutely love this song. It's quite beautiful. Also, Foreground. Anyways. Song Meanings! I agree with Torchie, for the most part. At first I didn't think about it like that, I read the lyrics and viewed as just a lover's song. But I understand what Torchie is saying, and I think that's an adequate interpretation. |

It's definitely tryst, not trick. In context it makes perfect sense. A tryst is an agreement, as between lovers, to meet at a certain time and place. Think about the lyrics. It is most surely tryst. |

"It's so hard for me, only to get the urge to kiss you there" sounds more like "it's so hard for me, only to get the NERVE to kiss you there." And it makes much more sense, I think. |

I didn't even think about that. But reading it, I completely agree. That's a really interesting way to think about, but I would believe that's what he was going for. What a fantastic lyricist. |

I'm probably going to get assaulted for saying this, but sometimes I wonder if he's singing about another boy. No matter who it's about, it's a beautiful song. Definitely capable of making you shed a tear. |

Also, can anyone explain the Vampire/Forest Fire metaphor? I don't know what it really means. |

"'If I let where I'm from burn I can never return!' He confronted the problem of the past instead of running away from it, I guess. I'm not entirely sure about it. But I think it's something like that." I think what they were going for was more along the lines of running away, and not being able to come back. If the "burning" going on in this song refers to just metaphorically setting fire to the past, a.k.a. running away without confronting it, then they can't go back to that place, whether it's a physical or mental state. One way of seeing it is pure embarrassment, not being able to return because you were a coward. I also look at it was being too far gone. Once you've set the flames and you let it burn to the ground, you just can't go back. It's too late to confront what you could've before. I don't know, that's just my two cents. |

I get that he directly said it was about a drug experience, but I still insist on seeing it as a twisted love song. I definitely agree with the idea of "somebody lurks in shadows" as a symbol for reality, that will eventually get in the way of the illusional love. I still like to think it worked out though, I'm like that. |

| The American Analog Set – It's All About Us Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I first heard this song very recently, and I knew it would be a special one to me as soon as I listened to the lyrics. I'm reading them and listening to it now, and it really does take all I've got to listen and not fall apart, I feel the need to cry because of it's nostalgic and melancholy yet content feel. The instrumental is beautiful, even the screeching slide from chord to chord is musical. | |
