are you wishing on a star. did you know your dreams are sold. to people who dream only of gold. they'll find a way to pull stars down. stand there. dance with a memory. the caption reads it's all over now. do you feel alone in the secret. are you standing there just weeping. do you feel the light is gone. is it hard to remain strong. in the face of all you know. in a world that's brought you low

    General Comment:How could anyone create something so absolutely mindblowing? This song is unbelievable. I have been a huge fan of AC for years, and I still could not make sense of this song as a whole. I disagree with peoples' idea of it being about corporates. I think the "do you know your dreams are sold to those who dream of only gold" is just a figure of speech for something else. Each verse has its own meaning to me. Either way, the song is just rediculous.

    General Comment:wow i just heard it..
    yeah that quote relating to coming down.
    if any of you's know what i mean.
    lol and then..
    when it comes around. we hit the streets.
    whoo
    these guys are genius.
    if you dont pay attention to every noise.
    analyze every line.
    from beginning to end.
    it's never going to make sense.
    and you'll never learn.
    unless...
    you're wishing on a star,
    as they put it.
    if so,carry on

    General Comment:in the final chorus of this song, he sings something else.. its REALLY indistinct on the recording, but live it's what he sings instead of the 'stand there..' part again. thats what i love about appleseed cast, they have a constant change about their music, and its different every time you listen to a song of theirs.

    what he sings is something like :

    "stand there, running around. and when it comes down and hits the ground, we'll find we're just a shell. stand there, theres no one in town. and when it comes here we'll find that we are out of our homes."

    i've got mp3s if you want to take your shot at it.

    General Comment:I have no idea when the new Anal Cunt album is coming out, personally.

    This song is Appleseed Cast at their most sing-songy. It's awesome having seen them play live, realizing that I was standing there, just listening, then they played this song and me and my friend sang along, and then they played the rest of their set and we stood there just listening. There is no way to just listen to this song. Even if you don't know the real lyrics, which I really don't despite years of listening to it.
