Hmm, this one has me perplexed. Great song, awesome video. However, I can not stop listening to it yet I am not entirely sure I understand it, not sure if there is a meaning to this one. Perhaps that is the whole point of the song.

"Tell them how your pleasure’s set up on slow-release"

Like a comatose patient.

"I spent a lifespan with no cellmate"

What a lonvely way to live.

"Saying meanwhile can’t we look the other way?"

Let us pretend it never happened.

Rosemary
Heaven restores you in life
Coming with me
Through the aging, the fear and the strife
It’s the smiling on the package
It’s the faces in the sand
It’s the thought that holds you upwards
Embracing me with two hands
Write, we’ll take you places
Yeah maybe to the beach
When your friends they do come crying
Tell them how your pleasure’s set up on slow-release

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to faith not
Denial
But hey who’s on trial?

It took a life spent
With no cellmate
The long way back
Saying meanwhile can’t we look the other way?

He speaks about travel
Yeah, we think about the land
We smile like all people
Feeling real tan
I can take you places
Do you need a new man?
Wipe the pollen from the faces
Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to faith not
Denial
But hey who’s on trial?

It took a life spent
With no cellmate
Find a long way back
Saying meanwhile can’t we look the other way?
You’re weightless, you are exotic
You need something for which to care
Saying meanwhile can’t we look the other way?

Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It’s a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
You’ve come to love me nightly
Yeah you’ve come to hold me tight
Is this motion everlasting
Or do shutters pass in the night?

Rosemary
Oh heaven restores you in life
I spent a lifespan with no cellmate
The long way back
Saying meanwhile can’t we look the other way?
You’re weightless, semi-erotic
You need someone to take you there
Saying meanwhile can’t we look the other way?
Why can’t we just play the other game?
Why can’t we just look the other way?

So normally you would see my explanation or interpretation of a song in this section, maybe a small blurb about the video, followed by the lyrics of said song. However, not in this case. This is to complain about Stutterfly and their "release" of Gun In Hand.

Now, I’ve had the song in one of my cds for maybe a little bit over two years. I thought it was a great song and I’ve listened to it many a times. I think it is a great combination of hard riffs and soft lyrics with an exchange of soft riffs hard lyrics. The ideal blend. However, the fine folks of Stutterfly took it upon themselves to release the song totally changed and pretty much butchered. This new monstrosity although sounds a bit like the original is much shorter an lacks the greatness that was the original.

Great move guys.

An excellent song from an excellent album and an excellent video. Trifecta baby! Well, the very "Moulin Rouge" video should give you an indication of what the song is about. The meaning pretty self evident. All about the right relationship with the wrong girl or the wrong relationship with the right girl. Either way it never works.

~david maciasI’m coming out of my cage
And I?ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I?m falling asleep
And she?s calling a cab
While he?s having a smoke
And she?s taking a drag
Now they?re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it?s all in my head
But she?s touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

I just can?t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it?s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cause I?m Mr Brightside

I?m coming out of my cage
And I?ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I?m falling asleep
And she?s calling a cab
While he?s having a smoke
And she?s taking a drag
Now they?re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it?s all in my head
But she?s touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

Cause I just can?t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it?s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cause I?m Mr Brightside

I never
I never
I never

The jury is still out on this song. I really enjoy the melody but the words INHO leave something to be desired. The video is entertaining enough though.

~david maciasWhen the sun came up
We were sleeping in
Sunk inside our blankets
Sprawled across the bed, and we
were dreaming

There are moments when
When I know it end
The world revolves around us
And we’re keeping it
Keep it all going
This delicate balance
Vulnerable, all knowing
Sing like you think no one’s listening

You would kill for this
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
You would kill for this
Sing like you think no one’s listening

You would kill for this
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
You would

Sing me something soft
Sad and delicate
Or loud and out of key
Sing me anything

We’re glad for what we’ve got
Done with what we’ve lost
Our whole lives laid out
Right in front of us
Sing like you think no one’s listening

You would kill for this
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
You would, you would
Sing like you think no one’s listening

You would kill for this
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
You would
You would

Sing me something soft
Sad and delicate
Or loud and out of key
Sing me anything

A very short review on APC’s new album:

I am a huge APC fan, absolute love everything they have put out so far, however after listening to this album around 3 times already I have to say that it is by far the weakest.

Less emotion, less variety, less Maynard. Ofcourse this is my opinion but if I had to pick between this album or the Garden State ST, I would pick Garden State.

~david macias

Well, it is about time that Coheed and Cambria get some much due recognition, it has been a while since these guys have been together, maybe 2-3 albums worth, maybe more.

My interpretation is that of a song about a relationship that perhaps was never meant to work. In the end one party sees that things should never have been anyway and decides to run. The song seems to be very open to interpretation but that is my take after listening to this song many, many times.

~david maciasYour eyes tell the stories of a day you wish you could
Recall the moments that once have
Retrack the footsteps that brought us to this favor
I wouldn’t ask this of you

Good eye, sniper
Here I’ll shoot, you run
The words you scribbled on the walls
With the loss of friends you didn’t have
I’ll call you when the time is right
Are you in or are you out?
For them all to know the end of us all

Run quick, they’re behind us
Didn’t think we’d ever make it
This close to safety in one piece
Now you wanna kill me in the act of what could maybe
Save us from sleep and what we are

Good eye, sniper
Now I shoot, you run
The words you scribbled on the walls
The loss of friends you didn’t have
I’ll call you when the time is right
Are you in or are you out?
For them all to know the end of us all

Bye bye beautiful
Don’t bother to write
Disturbed by your words and they’re calling all cars
Face step, let down.
Face step, step down.

The words you scribbled on the walls
With the loss of friends you didn’t have
I’ll call you when the time is right
Are you in or are you out?
For them all to know

Bye bye beautiful
Don’t bother to write
Disturbed by your words and they’re calling all cars
Face step, let down.
Face step, step down.

Bye bye beautiful
Don’t bother to write
Disturbed by your words and they’re calling all cars
Face step, let down.
Face step, step down.

This songs reminds me of Comfortable Liar, I hope Chevelle’s new album is as good as their old one, Wander What’s Next.

Not sure what to make of this song, so I will leave it like it is.

~david macias

Some will learn many do
Cover up or spread it out
Turn around had enough
Pick and choose or pass it on
Buying in heading for
Suffer now or suffer then
It’s bad enough I want the fear
Need the fear cause he’s alone

And he has become

Well if they’re making it (making it)
Then they’re pushing it (pushing it)
And they’re leading us along
The hassle of (hassle of)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
That panic makes remorse

After all what’s the point
Course levitation is possible
If you’re a fly achieved and gone
There’s time for this and so much more
It’s typical create a world
A special place of my design
To never cope or never care
Just use the key cause he’s alone

And he has become
He’s alone
And he has become

Well if they’re making it (making it)
Then they’re pushing it (pushing it)
And they’re leading us along
The hassle of (hassle of)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
That panic makes remorse

Over and over a slave became
Over and over a slave became
Over and over a slave became
Over and over a slave

Well if they’re making it (making it)
Then they’re pushing it (pushing it)
And they’re leading us along
The hassle of (hassle of)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
That panic held before

Well if they’re making it (making it)
Then they’re pushing it (pushing it)
And they’re leading us along
Like a cancer caused (cancer caused)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
And their panic makes remorse

Decent song not one of their best but it is worth the listen atleast.

~david maciasSomewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I’m addicted to your punishment
And you’re the master
And I am waiting for disaster

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn’t possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I’m getting away with murder
Getting away, Getting away, Getting away

I drink my drink and I don’t even want to
I think my thoughts when I don’t even need to
I never look back cause I don’t even want to
And I don’t need to
Because I’m getting away with murder

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn’t possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I’m getting away with murder

Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away with murder

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I’m addicted to your punishment
And I’m the master
And I am craving this disaster

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn’t possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I’m getting away with murder
Getting away, Getting away, Getting away

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn’t possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I’m getting away with murder

I am really trying not to post so many freaking music lyrics actually working on some "actual" content but it takes more time and well the job seems to require most of my time, the nerve!

The Killers bringing back memories of The Ramones.

~david maciasBreaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I’ve had it with this game
I’m breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain’t close in a place like this
Anything goes but don’t blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain’t close in a place like this
I said heaven ain’t close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I’d let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It’s not confidential
I’ve got potential

Ready? Let’s roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I’m leaving without you
Ready? Let’s roll onto something new
But heaven ain’t close in a place like this
Anything goes but don’t blink you might miss

Cause heaven ain’t close in a place like this
I said heaven ain’t close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I’d let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It’s not confidential
I’ve got potential
A rushin’, a rushin’ around

Pace yourself from me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don’t know now
When all I wanna do is try

Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It’s not confidential
I’ve got potential
A rushin’, a rushin’ around

Bowling for Soup, who by the way put on a great show, seem them a couple of times, bring us 1985. Like most of their other BforS songs light and fast. This one is about growing old and maybe not really realizing it.Some day your kids will tell you, you are uncool.

~david maciasWoohoo
Woohoo

Debbie just hit the wall
she didn’t have it all
one Prozac a day
husbands a CPA
her dreams went out the door
when she turned twenty four
only been with one man
what happen to her plan?

She was gonna be an actress
she was gonna be a star
she was gonna shake her ass
on the hood of white snake’s car
her yellow SUV is now the enemy
looks at her average life
and nothing has been alright

Bruce Springstein, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she’s uncool
but she still preoccupies
with 19, 19, 1985

Woohoo
(1985)
Woohoo

She’s seen all the classics
she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
even Saint Elmo’s Fire
she rocked out to Wham
not a big Limp Biskit fan
thought she’d get a hand
on a member of Duran Duran

Wears the mini-skirt made of snake skin
and who’s the other guy singing in Van Halen
when did reality become T.V.
what ever happen to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio there was)

Bruce Springstein, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she’s uncool
but she still preoccupies
with 19, 19, 1985

Woohoo

She hates time make it stop
when did Motley Crew become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop
Stop!
And bring back

Bruce Springstein, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she’s uncool
but she still preoccupies
with 1985
