| Radiohead – Go Slowly Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Obviously this song can be interpreted many, many ways, and I have no idea what the meant meaning was/is. To me this is the only glimpse of hope, of light, that there is a way out. Because I give music and lyrics to much power. But right now I am still death, the undead. Blah Blah Blah Blah, The lines 'patient,...I didn't, but now I can...there's a way out - on the surface this seems positive, though I must also consider that, as I think someone mentioned, it could also mean death. As Death can also be a way out. I'm only interpreting personally. But anyways I can see that I can contemplate that now I can see...the reasons...but for me it's still very unreal. And not very satisfying. Not a real answer. It's a good song. I enjoy it. |

I also hear 'a usurper' not 'our usurper'. and maybe I hear 'rungs' not 'lungs' idk, it's all so confusing. also I'm pretty sure at the end it starts as '"you" lie to all your friends' - only the first time(last,... make sense?) sure it's probably filler, but it is also important, he's not just saying everyone go lie to your friends he's stating that 'you' lie to all your friends...singling you out and making sure you know he knows. |

sounds to me like: 'so pray little kid that you'll have a good day' |

| Brand New – Daisy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I may be mistaken but I thought Vin wrote this song? not that it makes much a difference in your interpretation, replace vin with jesse. I think it's a good interpretation, way different than mine though. | |
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I believe this is a quantum event. I believe the 'intended' word is out, however, to hell is also spoken, however unitentional. When I listen in slo-motion I can hear 'out' rather distinctly though not as distinctly I hear 'to hell' when I speed it up. So I think it's probably 'out' but just because someone says something does not mean they say that, or only that. What you speak and pronounce and mean are all different things. In real time I hear a mixture of out/hell and sometimes down. This song has a life of it's own. It's out, but it's also 'to hell' It is both and it is neither. Some songs seem to have more clearly defined meanings, but this one I find to be open to many interpretations. I'm more interested in the lyrics for this song, to decipher my own personal meaning more precisely. I'd like to know what the actually intended meaning is too I suppose. I encourage everyone to take their own meaning. |

| Brand New – Jesus Christ Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I never checked the lyrics of this song until now and I always thought he said 'we don't dare let hate factor in' but I'm do believe it is 'turn turn out hate in factories' listening in slow-mo and the studio version as well as the fact that those were the offical lyrics posted...I can only take peoples words on that obv as the website...but it sounds right. turn turn out hate in factories. this song is so much better now that I know the lyrics...my own made up ones/what I heard did not do justice. |

| Brand New – Limousine Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Yurs makes sense and I can hear all that. After comparing the stdio version and an acoustic version what I hear is: K, it's your ride Get your petals out And lay them in the aisle Pretend you're God and grow and it's your day to wed We've found your man He is drinking up He's all-American And he'll drive He's volunteered with grace to end your life We'll tidy up It's sad to hope But leave your shell to us You explode You firefly, you tiny boat with oars Feather oars The world tilts back, and pours and pours and so You satellite You're a tidal wave, You're a big surprise And I, one more night to be your mother This signal interrupt Baby's frequency not strong enough,remain And my hands and smile We will miss you but in time you'll get settled And we will write Hey you beauty supreme Yeah, you were right about me But can I get myself out from underneath This guilt that will crush me? And in the choir, well I saw our sad Messiah He was bored and tired of my laments Said "I died for you one time, but never again" Never again, never again, never again, never again Never again, never again, never again, never again Well I love you so much But do me a favor, baby, don't reply 'Cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it ... |

| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I could go with just 'well' and no 'they' who knows. It's easy to hear something when your listening for it. I really don't know exactly what is said, but like you said the meaning is basically the same and I think we've all got the gist of it all. @ RA2y5 lol, I wouldn't know flat from sharp is my life depended on it. haha oh well at least your friends will listen to Brand New, none of my friends like them. |

| Brand New – Sink Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think 'sailor' sounds right. 'WATER'.. possibly. not sure, sounds plausible. I do still think it's 'bow' 'she' and 'until they lay down...' ...(my last post) no disrespect...not trying to 'troll' on you...I think the more everyone inputs what they hear the better. I know I'm never always right, it's a collaborative effort. I appreciate your post. thank you. |

| Brand New – Sowing Season (Yeah) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I was losing all my friends I was losing them to drinking and to driving I was losing all my friends But I got 'em back I am on the mend At least now I can say that I am trying And I hope you will forget Things I still lack Yeah Yeah And is it in you now, To bear to hear the truth that you have spoken Twisted up by knaves To make a trap for fools? And is it in you now, To watch the things you gave your life to, broken? And stoop then build them up With worn out tools? Yeah! Yeah! Yeah-Yeah-ahhh Yeah! Nothing gets so bad A whisper from your father couldn't fix if He whispers like a bridge Whos river's span Now take all that you have And turn it into something you would miss if Somebody threw that brick And shattered all your plans Yeah! Yeah! Yeah-Yeah-ahhh Yeah! (Now) Time to get the seeds into the cold ground [in slow-mo i don't hear 'now' but in realtime I do. Pretty sure it's not, 'no', I can hear 'i'm trying to...' more than 'no time to...'] It takes a while to grow anything. Before it's coming to an end, yeah Before you put my body in the cold ground Take some time and warm it with your hands Before it's coming to an end, yeah it's coming to an end Do you miss the blend Of colour she left in your black and white field? And do you feel condemned Just for being there? I am not your friend, I am just a man who knows how to feel I am not your friend, I'm not your lover, I'm not your family, Yeah! Yeah! Yeah-Yeah-ahhh Yeah! (Now?) Time to get the seeds into the cold ground It takes a while to grow anything, before it's coming to an end, yeah. |
|
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The only reason it's so hard to believe is because I'm trying real hard to hear 'out', I really, really, would like it to be out. If it is hell it kinda ruins the song for me. But the first two times it is so clearly 'to hell' to me it's ridiculous. No disrespect to you, Jason Tate or AP.net. It's just anyone can say this or that on the net so I like to see proof before I blindly believe something to be fact. But I can believe that it is 'out' if it is, and I'll take your word on it. And assuming it is 'out' I'm thrilled. I should just be glad Brand New made such an awesome song. | |
| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think PrivateEyeAP was right, lol, just noticed he did in fact say it's 'i'm gonna' though based on that live version it does still sound like 'they' not 'he' but who knows I could be wrong there. These lyrics are killing me. ...The minor details... Regardless I think we've all got the gift of them. And they're amazing. | |
| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I've never heard that version before, I really like it. Thanks As far as the lyrics to me in this one it sounds like(very clearly, like you said) Well I stole bricks from the dam almost everyday Now I'm drowning in a flood I made Will they explain myself to me on the other side I'm gonna want some answers when I die Hmm, now when I listen to the studio version again I can hear that. I think the 'the' was 'matrixed' with a 'guitar' and idk the last line, I was just wrong. PS I've been listening to Sowing Season ALOT lately too. I love that song. I liked it since I first heard it but I just found a new ear for it I suppose. It's such a good song. |
|
| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
cool, what vid was it you watched, got a link? I think it's mostly right, though I might retract the 'And' in the 2nd line but other than that it sounds right to me. (I basically went by the studio version because I know Jesse often changes lyrics live, though I have listened to several live ones and they all sound the same to me on this song) I just love this part of this song, and the lyrics are so amazing, though I love the rest of the song too. |
|
| Brand New – In a Jar Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I agree on the lyrics part, but differ on the meaning. To me it's more like,...you want to win but if you really did win you would run away from it, because even though you want it you are not prepared or ready for it. That what it means to me of course I could be way off from what the band meant it to mean. |
|
| Brand New – Sink Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure the line after ...how darkly the dark hand met his end ...starts with she not he also I think it's until they lay down on the track and I'm leaning towards... you're no better than they say, or possibly ...better than me sir finally... men were drowning in the bow |
|
| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
100%...? me too. lol Well I stole bricks from your dam almost everyday And now I'm drowning in a flood I made Will they explain myself to me on the other side Because I'll want some answers when I die Listen carefully. Seriously. I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure. No one except the band is 100% but.. I'm 100% I'm at least 96.969697% correct. lol |

| Brand New – Bought a Bride Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Trees will make a forest Trees will make a boat These are all the harder Words you have to know And if everyone's a structure Where their own savior sits Then I'm a little red house But no one's living in it Cars are little blood cells We are oxygen City is the airways Suburbs appendages She was feeling lonely Tired of their hive Rented out a family And he bought a bride Bought a bride Bought a bride Bought a bride The little cities names have ruined all the maps They tied her up and laid her on the train tracks Where are all the seedlings We grew for violence? They're down in Jersey lumber, Stealing prosthetic limbs. Should've been a soldier I could've fought and died But there's no revolution So I bought a bride Bought a bride Bought a bride Bought a bride (And/I'm???) coming down the aisle while the horns play Taps They tied her up and laid her on the train tracks If somehow I was new and everything was unsaid I'd go and buy a hammer, never sing again |
|
| Brand New – Daisy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
background end part - again I was, am, still not sure of these parts... 'Or don't say he's in love It's the greatest of love' mainly the last word(s) I think i could be 'so increase the flood' and don't say he...belongs.. ?? (less sure of this one) I doubt it's love.. flood kinda makes sense with the rest of the song, idk though |
|
| Brand New – Daisy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Yeah the cymbals are right there and make it easy to matrix them together... If it is 'guess..' the guess is said very awkwardly an not clearly, though I guess that not uncommon, and it could does go with/makes sense to - 'easier that way' - saying it's easier than visiting or such...but it just doesn't seem to go with the rest of the lyrics. I think it is - 'it's alright' |
|
| Brand New – Degausser Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
chorus: 1ST TIME: you're blowin' by but you're running, I fell asleep in the alkalide. I can't shake this little feeling, I'll never get anything right. 2ND TIME: you're blowin by but you've running, let's sleep in the alkalide. I can't shake this tiny feeling, I'll never say anything (right)/[iamonmyown...] 3RD TIME: You're blown by but you're run out, I fell asleep in an alkalide I can't shake this little feeling, I never did anything (right)/[iamonmyown...] the vid that zelane posted above http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIKWnOVqioU&feature=related - compared to studio - only diff I hear is that on the live, Jesse sings the 3rd studio version(run out) on 2nd and 3d time(and sounds like he says 'think I'll slip into the alkalide' on the live one, which I don't hear on the studio at all.) anyways...I do think it's a) 'BLOWIN(G) BY'- makes sense if you think about it AND b) 'ALKALIDE' - "Alkalides are chemical compounds in which alkali metals are anions (that is, they bear a negative charge)" -(from wiki) - so it goes along with the degausser def- and makes sense to the song - and also what others put as alkali - I def hear the 'de' though I'm not 100% on this - I can't be - just puttin it out there - so maybe I'm wrong but thats what I think it is. |

| Brand New – Millstone Lyrics | 14 years ago |

however, I wish the line was these sheep are fools and marked with sin that would be a good line for a song |
|
| Brand New – Millstone Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| never mind. clearly it's sink. | |
| Brand New – Millstone Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
From the first time I heard this song I always thought it was 'a milestone around my neck' and the title 'Millstone' always confused me. People make a good case for 'my own stone' despite that it still doesn't make sense to me. Anyways..., now what is bothering me is the previous line. I don't think anyone has mentioned it, at least I didn't see it posted anywhere. Sounds to me like... 'These sheep of fools are marked with sin'. Anyone else heard that? |
|
| Brand New – Daisy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| hmmm yes I think you might be correct. It's really hard to make out and both ways sound pretty much the same when spoken; so it's no wonder no one really caught this, I assume you just heard it recently or you would have posted it sooner. Thanks for posting it though. I've admit I've never heard that before, but I can now(I can hear a slight 'g' sound and yet I can still hear the other but this kinda makes more sense? I don't know). | |
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I can see the connection with the 'eat my young' line and how that could be connected/associated with guilt and how you make that conclusion, however I just don't see the other connections, I mean I can see how you make them, I just don't see the song the same way. Who knows. I am interpreting it individually, as are you. I think yours is an interesting interpretation, just different than mine. | |
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I agree with Arter....destroying things you've created. That line is about starting a new as is the one from 'daisy'. As far as the bridge in At the Bottom and how it 'sounds'..hmm to me that is a reach and obscure...if you're referring to the music, not the lyrics. the lyrics in the bridge to me are a cry for answers, for help, for peace....and the music...just super awesome sounding. I see the forest more as the darkness blocking out the light...the light needed to find peace...'how am I ever going to know peace?' the trees are blocking out the light and hence left alone in darkness...lonely and helpless...where to turn, who to escape. The forest seems more like the well known metaphor of not being able to see the big picture because of the details, being to close; move away and look from a different perspective. So to me the album is about being human, new beginnings, hope for the future and actually much more, it's rather hard to sum it all up because this album is very complex and(amazing) also I guess if that is what you take from the album that is also what it is. | |
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I've never heard 'sitting duck' and still can't. 'it's getting dark' makes sense and sounds right to me. | |
| Brand New – Bought a Bride Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I now keep hearing 'their hive' not 'the hive' I guess it's very minor and quite arbitrary, but whatever. and now think I'm hearing 'have ruined all the maps'??? I can't get past the 'h' sound but still not fully hear the 'ed' ok I've fully gone insane with all this lyric detecting. but it's fun too, I suppose. maybe it's time I go and buy a hammer...kill myself again. again? yes again. I'm already dead. ooooh a ghost speaks, shit if I was a ghost I'd be all up on the band to find out the real lyrics and then stop being so insane and then come back to life and spill the beans. They'd be mad and I'd be glad. the end. |
|
| Brand New – Daisy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
for the last verse/bridge/whatever part what I hear is: Well if I take all those things, then I'll bury them fast And then pray that they turn to seeds, to roots and then grass It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain Like it knew he was trying to start things over again he'd be alright, it's all right, it'd be easier that way |
|
| Brand New – Bought a Bride Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| yes I believe Jesse changes the lyrics often during live performances. I read that somewhere, and there is a live version of degausser on youtube where he changes them very evidently. Perhaps he is singing diff lyrics in this studio version as well...to me it does also. | |
| Brand New – Daisy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
weird. I never noticed that. No idea what it means. and to add to the conspiracy, noro is 626...what does that mean. 1st x2. 2nd +2, 3rd add 0?? I don't know???,...what I'm sayin!...but that is interesting that they are all 306 |
|
| Brand New – Bought a Bride Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| didn't mean to type 'not'. oops. sure yall know what I meant anyways. | |
| Brand New – Bought a Bride Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I can definitely hear that. Could very well be. I was really hearing 'over' and/or hover(ing?..along the maps) for quite a while, but I am not really leaning towards 'ruin'in all the maps' to me that makes most sense, but who knows. | |
| Brand New – Daisy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| oops... I think this is the youtube vid I was listening too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKP9d2XN0Po&feature=related ... sorry I was listening to a several. anyways. | |
| Brand New – Daisy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This is what I'm getting for the background vocals in the end... You've done enough to be saved But you're gonna miss out Now you don't know your rights from your wrongs It's the greatest of love Now don't say you'll be there and then leave Or don't mention all the hurt that you've seen Or don't say he's in love It's the greatest of love Thanks to DVagnoni87 others for working on this part. Also you can check out this vid. I think it makes the 1st two lines fairly clear(though I admit I still used Adobe Audtion). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtuuiFfG_zU I'm not sure it's entirely right but I think it's close.(or maybe I'm totally off, who knows) |
|
| Brand New – Bought a Bride Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
You totally got it. I actually didn't see this post before(shoulda read all the posts before now I guess, lol), anyways, it suddenly hit me... 'little cities names are ruinin' all the maps' ...ruined/ruining. meh. anyways, it was like an uh/huh moment when I heard that, but I guess you were ahead of me here. I still hear a sort of 'h' sound in there, but upon slow-mo I think it might be from a background vocal/sound. This seems mostly like to me so far, though I'll never be totally sure unless I hear it from the band themselves. |
|
| Brand New – Bought a Bride Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| hmm sounds possible, what makes you say this? Is that what you hear? This line is driving me nuts. lol. I'm not completely convinced but I do think it is possible. Every live version I hear sounds different, and often sounds like he is mumbling, maybe on purpose to drive people like me up the wall. Anyways thanks for posting. I'm gonna keep that one in mind as I listen. | |
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| no you don't sound insane at all. I'm not sure about the guilt thing, but that's only because I'm intrepreting it from my viewpoint, not the 'intended one'. Hmm I guess the way you say stop with the...'out' and 'hell' debate.... and thtere must be no actual meaning to this song...??? What I mean is that to each individual human beign who listens and interprets it in their own way, that must also be correct, right? No need for me to explain my personal interpretation, as I feel it is best left unsaid. Thanks for sharing yours though and I find it interesting the connection between this song and Limousine. I'm going to listen to Limousine again, and have a new listen to it and observesand ponder what you've said. Thanks for your thought's. | |
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| blah...so now I don't hear 'hell' at all. I've been doing some intense audio work to isolate the lyrics...yes I guess I am insane. anyways, the conclusion, I have no f****** clue what he says, it's just not clear. so I guess I submit defeat. And sorry Arter for being a bit of a bitch in the 2nd last post. I just want to know the real lyrics so bad...lame yes...whatever I'm a lamer...a stupid flamer...that deluges? um yeah. anyways. who knows what was intended to be said, as I sort of said, it really is audibly unclear and so I fear we are all on our way to...somewhere? lol...crack is bad...just kidding I don't smoke crack...can't afford it...but yeah god I wish the lyrics were in the booklet. Brand New...you guys are good, but you frustrate me beyond belief. grrr. | |
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Sorry to double post, but... maybe I'm on crack here ...just straighten me out if needed. Did you read a different post than I? The one I refered to was about someone at AP.net that supposedly had the lyrics sheet and said that the booklet said 'hell, but than how could Lacey confirm 'out'??? I just realized that...Now I'm really confused. | |
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I don't mean to be all arrogant and all but... Where is the real proof? Still none, right. I respect you, Arter; you have contributed a lot of meaningful discussion, but why should I believe that jason Tate is so special and to believe he holds the only lyrics sheet? I suggest, ...because the band didn't release any lyrics, the only true lyrics are 'what 'you' hear!' I had a dream where they said the music is what's important and that is why no lyrics in the booklet, ...ok it was just a dream but...assuming something like that is close to the truth, which I'm sure it's probably not, why put so much thought into these lyrics. I mean they are clearly well thought out... blah I'm over analyzing this... I bet the band is having a great time laughing about it. ahaha. Screw you guys. Make me go crazy. lol. NOT. Or does I? Anyways...I've been listening very closely yet still, and I still do hear 'hell' on the 1st two times, while the rest I have no clue, could be out(that is really what I 'hear' to be honest) or it could be anything else(maybe down, who knows).. I do admit that it is possible that it is out, however, whether intentional or not, it clearly sounds like, and therefore is 'hell'(1st 2 times)...maybe it was just fate(happened by chance, unconsciously) that allowed these 2 to be 'hell' but they are hell. By the will of thee' ...'per say'...oh the cliche... lame I know. OK done. |
|
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| where was this? I'd like to think it is out but I really doubt that, I was so sure it was out, until I listened in slow-mo(do it yourself and you'll hear it too) and now I hear hell very clearly(esp the first few)...I wouldn't be surprised if it was a switch between the two, but I can not believe that it is 'out' exclusively. Before the album was released someone posted a comment about how someone had the liner notes and it said hell...blah, clearly no such notes existed...so I just ask where Jesse confirmed this...can you provide a link. thanks. | |
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
hmm, well to me the 'little light' seems to imply despair, so there is only darkness on the horizon spar a shred of light... little light ..of hope. And If we die burn down the forest...that is complex. I mean the idea of the forest seems to prominent on this album. The line 'how will I ever see light through the trees'...so like the forest is the 'darkness' within and the trees that make up this forest are blocking out all the light(goodness?/truth/what needs to be seen(for a way out/to peace))...also to burn down the forest would be to deny and shred all evidence of what is not wanted to be seen. Chariots, carry us.... seems to me to suggest that wanting to be 'carried' or supported or enabled along such dark times. Like an addict being supported and enabled. Or a princess being carried along because of laziness, just something that you don't want to do for whatever reason and so you don't want to face it;to be carried and to avoid it, and the pain associated. I have know idea if this helps and I'm pretty sure this is not the intended meaning, just how I interpret it. I suggest you do the same, listen to it and form your own interpretation/meaning out of it, that way it will have the greatest impact for you. |

Oft times come misery But today then beckons me oft my wandering heart is lured On some by-path far from thee Father, when my thoughts have stray(ed?) Guide me back into thy way Oh, let me be, Oh let me be On life's highway, God with thee. (thats what I hear anyway) |

| Brand New – Bought a Bride Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This is probably my fav song on the album right now, though it changes daily. I'm baffled though...'little cities'... part sound to me like different lyrics on the album version and the acoustic studio session. Sounds something like 'little cities names (over, hover(ing)) on the maps for the album but for the acoustic one it really sounds like 'over and all round' I'd swear it is all around and it really, really sounds like 'maps' on the album. Confused I am yes, and no lyrics in the booklet...so disappointing. It's probably something different entirely, who knows. |
|
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I was like 99% on 'out' too, then when I heard it in slow-mo I def heard 'hell' though ...guess well find out Tues... | |
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I'm the exact opposite. It's easier to believe(for me) it's me fucking up because, I know I can change me, I can't control others. Blaming others is the easy way out I think. | |
| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
what's a lot easier, life? not known to 'us'...That's open for interpretation and opinion, I know what I believe. Why can one not live according its tenets? You presume people are ignorant, ok so many are, not all though. Some live beyond the tribe, in a way most dare not even dream. Chaotic at glance, structured upon observation, I would suggest. Why no meaning given or needed? I respect your opinion and it actually makes me think and ponder more, but I don't think I am on the same page. That's alright though, if we all thought the same, what a boring world it would be. |
