Audience of One – show your teeth

  General Comment:Hey a few years gap between comments never hurt anyone.
  
  anthony and this son elicit so many different emotions from me..
  
  for me mainly, this song was created and recorded when Anthony was in high school. that's just crazy to me and in my mind. I am a sophomore in college now, but there are so many people I knew in high school that made music, etc, but I couldn't even take them seriously. On the other side of the spectrum there is this band, who I can't help but just get lost in. that idea is crazy to me, being really, legitimately involved with music that 15-18 year olds made.
  
  also, the fact that these songs have to do with the idea of young love. it's obvious that this song, whether specific or not has a lot to do with a high school crush. weird or not, i am fascinated with high school love and the idea of young love in general. it's so rare to find someone in a high school that's willing to speak their true mind let alone in music..

  General Comment:I wouldn't go as far as ticklishgio, to say "one of the first emo songs to ever come out", there were tons of Emotive bands that were before his time, and had given Anthony influence... but Audience of One, is one of my favorite bands, and they are very meticulous about their lyrics, and I personaly love it.

  General Comment:I find it strange that everyone assumes the lyrics are nice. The lyrics have a blatant sadistic ring in my opinion. The show your teeth part is I think about someone trying to react to being harmed or mistreated. The song is about cruelty I think.

  General Comment:perhaps show your teeth is a metaphor for open your mouth and speak to me?
