Lyrics for The Church Channel as interpreted by egyptianmusk

The Church Channel Lyrics
i wake up in a room and realize i’m insane again
this is the fifth time straight in a year i’ve ended up in here
eating p.b.j’s and watching the church channel nightly
i didn’t mind what i did
i fell behind on my nightly four-course meal of rainbow pills
and now i’m wondering what is fake and what is real
but who’s that ghost who keeps walking by my door
i’ve never seen a girl look so good in thick-rimmed glasses before
and i feel her watching me during sleeping hours
and when i shower
they let us play with markers but i keep trying to draw infinity
and i read the bible to pass the time
but one day out of nowhere, she sits down and looks over my shoulder
i’m shaking harder then i’ve ever shook before.
she sings:
“oh, don’t you remember me? is your mind that worn?
we both were born to be one with that which the public scorned
though you were forlorn in despair with your drugs and your hardcore porn
trust me, those days won’t be mourned. so lay your head on me.”
lay your head onto me.

gah i wanna hear this song so bad
it's only on absolutepunk.com
but it won't let me listen to it for some reason
so i'm still waiting..... probably for october 23rd when the cd comes out.
anyway, i'm sure it's a really good song.
hayley is amazing:
“oh, don’t you remember me? is your mind that worn?
we both were born to be one with that which the public scorned
though you were forlorn in despair with your drugs and your hardcore porn
trust me, those days won’t be mourned. so lay your head on me.”

does anyone think this song may be written after the movie requiem for a dream?

thats pretty unlikely.
most of the album is extremely literal
this is about when max was put in a hospital after his breakdown in brooklyn
note how the song before this one (this fucking ecstacey) talks about his breakdown in detail, how he thought he was being exterminated, etc...

he talks about the breakdown in a series of interviews that you can find on youtube

This is probably my favorite song on the album. I can't help thinking this is the girl from "Woe" everytime I hear it, though thats probably not the case.

i think this song is about how he has a crush on a girl. and then they meet and they actually go out. and hes hella excited. so the next song, he sings about how he got a girlfriend ( shiksa). anybody else think so?

I really dislike Paramore, but Hayley Williams's voice is really pretty when she's not singing her own lyrics. I like what they did to her voice too. Favorite song off the album so far. And yes! drewfridley7, it did remind me of Requiem For a Dream, but i think it's actually about Max's life.

who’s that ghost who keeps walking by my door
i’ve never seen a girl look so good in thick-rimmed glasses before

I love that line and this song is sick. Best on a disappointing CD

this sorta reminds me of the novel 1984, where Winston ends up betraying Julia, and he doesn't really recognize her like he did before, but then again, I'm probably wrong anyway :P .

The first time I heard this, I thought it was Hayley Williams, because it sounds like her, but I wasn't sure. I would've never seen her doing a collaboration with SA, but the song is great.
I think the meaning behind the song is pretty obvious.

I don't care what anyone says, Hayley Williams makes this song. Every time I hear her sing her part, it gives me chills. Her voice is so deep and haunting.

"Hayley Williams sucks but she sounds cool with Say Anything, when it isn't even her proper voice!!!111one!"

That's basically what you were saying.

i looooove this song. easily one of my favorites on the CD because it's so blunt and the collaboration of hayley and max's voice is phenomonal. i don't like paramore but hayley DOES have a good voice. she pulls off singing say anything's bare-all lyrics.

my favorite thing about say anything is that max is entirely METAPHORICAL and coats all his songs with SATIRE and IRONY, making fun of practically everything he writes about. "most of the album is extremely literal" LAWLZ.

@kotasetsfire:

A lot of songs on ...Is a Real Boy and In Defense of the Genre tell a story. There are a lot of satirical lyrics in the songs, but it all boils down to a certain theme most of the time. This one is pretty much taken as the lyrics are written.

Also, Hayley's voice in this song is awesome.

first off, id like to end accusations that something was "done" to Hayleys voice in this song. Hayleys range is HUGE and in a choir she would be an alto.its all her in this song.

and my thoughts on the song itself i think to sum it up is basically about a person who feels insane and alone in a crazy messed up world he's been put in and just is kind of there because he has to be. The representation of the girl is hopes and dreams, many which are lost once we grow and let are mind wander off onto less important things because we think those things are impossible. But the girl is a reminder to the boy he is not alone and there still is hope in the world.
