Cave-In – Stained Silver

  General Comment:This song is about suicide.
  
  And godsendconspirator, yours is wrong too, because at the second verse its:
  "Pop culture, with a PILL" :).
  
  He mostly aims at the fact that these lately years, the suicide amount is gone up so high, it has become a "pop culture".

    I love you idiots that think every song is about suicide, drugs or a breakup. It's pretty obvious to me that it's simply about his disdain for pop culture and the herd-like mentality its followers adopt. The first verse is some great lyrics btw.

  General Comment:The line "Sneak a gun through the gates of heaven
  failing tomorrow's prayer" is pretty kick ass.

  General Comment:God youre right those lyrics are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wrong!
  
  Below are the correct lyrics.
  
  
  Pop culture with a pin
  Watch it wheeze in the air like a dying balloon
  A mistake dawned on me
  And the rest of my tribe
  Your wish is our command
  No really, it's ok
  Give yourselves a group hug and a pat on the back
  No really, it's alright
  Pose your best for the shot from the firing squad
  
  Choosing my defence
  I'll stay on the fence
  
  Sneak a gun through the gates of heaven
  Failing tomorrow's prayer
  Stained silver bullet how it kills me
  Waiting to follow through
  On a dare
  
  Pop culture, with a pin
  Watch it make all the worms in your mind disappear
  Maybe so, maybe not
  Never sure if it's me underneath the white sheet
  Halloween, Halloween
  With a mask I can be your new friend for a while
  Trick or treat, trick or treat
  There's a razorblade inside your candy bar
  
  Choosing my defence
  I'll stay on the fence
  
  Sneak a gun through the gates of heaven
  Failing tomorrow's prayer
  Stained silver bullet how it kills me
  Waiting to follow through
  On a dare
  
  Pop culture on your skin
  You cannot keep your fingers away from your face
  Memories haunting me
  Like a fish floating dead at the top of a tank
  
  (repeats bits of bridge and chorus throughout)

  General Comment:I think this is some of Cave In's best yet... all the new stuff (Lost in the Air, Lift Off, Bigger Riff) is great. I messed up a couple of the lyrics here, but they're going to fix them hopefully. And I should have Bigger Riff lyrics up shortly as well.
