Lyrics for Longview as interpreted by kevin

Longview Lyrics
Sit around and watch the tube but, nothings on
Change the channels for an hour of two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fucking lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind !!!
And I smell like shit

Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to my own cell
And I lost the key

I got no motivation
Where is my motivation?
No time for motivation
Smoking my inspiration

Sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one she's got
When masturbation's lost its fun
You're fucking breaking

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored
I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Slipping away to paradise
Some say, "Quit or I'll go blind."
But it's just a myth

this song is clearly bout masturbation

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored
I'm going blind-
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Slipping away to paradise
Some say, "Quit or I'll go blind."
But it's just a myth

clearly bout masturbation, how hes so bored and cant do nothing else, and he says that the blindness thing is a myth, that pretty much sums it up

but not onlt bout that, its also just being at home bored with nothing to do :/

just reading the first two pages, everyone has given u the meaning. its about boredom, maybe losing your will. so anything else is either just saying how much this song rox or repeating what someone else has already said

It's another one of their songs that teenagers can completely relate to. You're too old to be this cute little kid and too young too be considered grown up and just left around the house with nothin' to do so you sit around jackin' off all day.

um... all the crap about jerking off is funny, but why the hell would they write a song about that? surely three guys that look like that can get plenty with other people, if ya know wat i mean.
long view is about deep filthy depression... he smells like shit, can't be bothered to bathe. sign 1 of depression.
sign 2, he says he's "fucking breaking"
3, trying to use the physical to lift himself up
i'm not prone to this kind of depression, i usually cut and take too many showers, but i know it's out there.

I am 99% sure that is about masturbating because back then they would tell everyone that if your mastrubate to much you will go blind....
and the song does say, "Some say, "Quit or I'll go blind."
But it's just a myth"

"just reading the first two pages, everyone has given u the meaning. its about boredom, maybe losing your will. so anything else is either just saying how much this song rox or repeating what someone else has already said"

I've got a few:

Mike Dirnt wrote the Bass line on acid
Tre Cool wrote the drums to sound like sex
Billy Joe grew up outside of Oakland, where "he had nothing to f*cking do."

The song is definitely about wanking! I think it's crying out for some fanfic written about it involving someone peeping in through the curtains whilst one of the band is playing hand shandy in front of the telly.

yeah! it's another thing that exists in italy too...
church in particular said that if you masturbate you'll go bling, and for a lot of year guys were scaried about what could be happended to theirself!!!
now saiyng that is funny...but this is another of the reason for which i hate "christian church!"
they have used to shut up and repress people who put themselves over everything...(i don't know if you can understand...)
billy was great making laudh on this myth!!

I didn't know that the Christian church was responsible for that rumor.

yeah! it was responsible for a lot of bad things...
from the concept of the holy war...to the disruction of the book, that they considered "dangerous for people's mind", to the hate for the strangers till the myth of "masturbate yourself is wrong" this was a concept that created in the middle ages, because they thought that have fun leave man from god (or something similar...)

sorry for the off topic...;)

You should see how much Christianity is hated in the forums.

I looked on wikipedia and it basically says Christianity is against masturbation but it doesn't say anything about the myth that it makes you go blind.
