| Grade – The Ineffenciency Of Emotion Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
I think this song is about the inefficiency of emotion, guys. God I'm a genius for figuring that out. Nah, but really, what I'm thinking is that the lyricist was in one of those times where a bunch of emotional problems, stimuli, and obstacles were in the way...so many things were going wrong and it didn't matter how he felt about it, they still went wrong. I get that impression because of all the questions he asks, and the general incensed and passionate feeling that you can feel as he sings it. It's like he took a generalized frustration and emotional distress that existed on as many levels as possible and compacted it into a few short lyrics so charged with emotion that it's almost incapacitating. Great song. I scream along to it, too, mighteemmoouse. ;) |

| The Juliana Theory – Duane Joseph Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
Definitely a song about youth and missing a friend (my guess is that friend was Duane Joseph to the lyricist) from the old days. I grew up down the street from a girl, Morgan Massingale, and we were great friends. We went through everything together...we'd build cabins in the woods, her mom would make us lunch, all the things mentioned in the song. When we were kids, we agreed to marry eachother when we grew up. It was good to get that out of the way, too. I didn't have to worry about how icky girls were, and she didn't have to worry about how icky boys were. Even once we did grow up...a little...we still sort of always had it in our minds that we were going to marry eachother. Then she died in a car wreck when she was 17. Sure, there are a couple lines that don't match up exactly, but for the most part this song parallels that whole story. Great song, great lyrics, great band. |

| The Juliana Theory – For Evangeline Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
I agree that the theme is about abortion...but it takes away a lot of the fun when I realized that instead of singing in my car at the top of my lungs about breakups and heartbreak, I was singing about fetuses. Sort of ruins my day. Anyways, do you think tJT is singing this song from the baby's point of view...? "I lay there for days and you forgot" I'm thinking that the first person perspective of that statement could be the baby's thoughts. Also the fact that it says "in one night you made me your own" would further support that possibility. Also, in the song it says "the face you'll never touch" not "the face you'll never see." |
