mega, that's beautiful. i think you caught the essence of what a unique band like this really is, which is to not only take the song and interpret it to what you think it means, but i really think most of the bands' lyrics were written with the hope that people will take any instance they can find in their personal life, or at least something they feel strongly about, and apply the song to it as closely as possible. brian aubert has said that the name silversun pickups is a state of mind. he didn't go into it any further, because i think he wants people to come up with their own idea of what a silversun pickup is. of course, then again he's explained different, far more bizarre meanings behind the name, so i could totally be wrong on this, and thus making my theory of their songs hold MUCH less water.
