Built to spill you are pleased precariously momentarily chilled temporarily filled you will spill until lower expectations you will because at the time it seemed built to spill like an acceptable deal you feel you feel this is how you'll always feel it's no big deal I'm ashamed of you my friend you feel like you are on the verge of something real would you please would you please I'm to blame for this my friend on a role and built to spill would you please built to spill would you please you will carry out your function then occasionally filled you will you will come alive to something real then realize you're built to spill this is how you'll always feel it's no big deal

    General Comment:The lyrics posted above look like a Burroughs cut up of the actual lyrics, or else I'm remembering things poorly.

    General Comment:i think this song was written to incompass the sorta mission statement of the band.
    they are realist. so the band was named built to spill to encompass the theme of gloom and realistic expectations should be low.
    grungey just how mama use to serve it :]

    General Comment:You'll be disappointed, and then your expectations will be lowered, and you'll know better than to get your hopes up about anything.

    General Comment:This song's about the ups and downs of life basically... You fill up with all these good feelings and everythign seems happy, but then things spill over, and you lose it all... then you feel good things coming back again and you feel like maybe this time it'll be something real, you're on a role, but you're just built to spill... it's inevitable... And it's how it'll always be, it's no big deal, just how it is. It's how we are.
