I have my mother's dreams I have my father's eyes You can't take that from me Just go ahead and try The crescent city sleeps While giants in the sky Preparing to unleash Let loose a mighty cry Can nobody save us? Will anyone try? The pyre is burning The severance is dying And all along they say it Help is on the way (They said, they said) Help is on the way (They said, they said) Hold my hand to help see Right there in front of me Help is on the way Five thousand feet below As black smoke engulfs the sky The ocean floor explodes Eleven mothers cry My bones all resonate A burning lullaby You can't take that from me Just go ahead and try She says that's the shoreline With hands in the air Her words miss the dark night Does anyone care? And all along they say it Help is on the way (They said, they said) Help is on the way (They said, they said) Hold my hand to help see Right there in front of me Help is on the way Right here, right here Right here, right here Right here, right here Choking on the black gold Upon which we rely We keep actions in the attics To see cameras in the sky Help is on the way (They said, they said) Help is on the way (They said, they said) We were told just to sit tight Cause somebody will soon arrive Help is on the way But it never came It never came Help is on the way (They said, they said) Help is on the way (They said, they said) Hold my hand to help see Right there in front of me Help is on the way On the way

Is it not "she stands at the shoreline, with hands in the air, her words pierce the dark night, does anyone care"? And I agree with the giants in the sky rather than ions. Finally, for the chorus is it really "take my hand, to help see"? It really doesn't sound at all like "help see". Well that's my opinion, hope it helps. Smameronon January 27, 2011   Link1 Reply Log in to replyThere was an error. @SmameronOn the album, it says that in the chorus it's "One by land, two by sea." It sounds more like that. I can't really hear the "Take my hand" part in that.

Can someone explain this lyric-we keep actions in the atticsto see cameras in the skyI get the song but the cameras are??? MIkeP456on January 28, 2011   Link7 Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. @MIkeP456You know, the TV people, filming to make news instead of actually helping people get out... At least that's the way I get it. KatieDementieon January 29, 2011Or big brotheroorah101on January 31, 2011Anyway, I've just seen these exact two lines posted on a site as "best lyrics of the week". Guess somebody knows what they mean for sure. KatieDementieon February 02, 2011Oh good call, that line confused me before but now that makes sense... Like keeping actions in the attics as if to stow something away and don't use it, just like people are "stowing" away their incentive to step in and help, but instead just go down there to film all the crap floating around in the gulf and talk about what BP is gonna do about it. Punkrock1039on February 12, 2011The line is actually "we keep axes in the attic." I'm a New Orleans native and I know a lot of people who keep an ax in their attic in case of rising water. People take refuge in the attic and then if the water keeps rising they get trapped. Folks are advised to keep an ax in the attic so they can break through the roof. Except when Katrina hit, those who broke through their roofs saw only the "cameras in the sky" on news helicopters and still had to wait for rescue. okaasan59on March 11, 2011Yep, the lyrics are "AXES in the attic." Thanks for that explanation, okaasan59. It makes so much more sense now! kokonutsodaon March 19, 2011That makes sense! I did wonder about that line.

It seems like the whole song isn't about any one disaster or anything. It's an outward commentary on the crappy reaction that we as people, not a nation, not a government, react to disasters. We keep telling people to just sit tight and wait for help, but no one wants to get up and do something about it. listn2moremetalon February 03, 2011   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Here is my interpretation of the lyrics:I think Giants in the sky is correct, Ions are atoms with a charge which doesn't make sense and it sounds more like giants to me. I also think it makes sense one of the comments one by land two by sea I always thought it was hold my hand but I couldn't figure out the next part you can definitely hear a y in there and if you listen it does sound like it also they might sing they said, they said for the first time in the chorus and the second time it sounds like it says they sent they sent also the first part all along they said it I think it sort of sounds like all my hope is saying and finally one of the comments make sense her words pierce the dark night makes more sense than any other one I heard... oops I almost forgot for action in the attics I can't hear the t or the n and I think he says axes because like if the song is about not caring about these things which I think makes sense, then that makes sense to me because it's like we're all prepared for these things but then we don't careMusiticianon February 10, 2011   Link4 Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. @MusiticianI also thought that it was 'axes in the attic'. The flooding from Hurricane Katrina caused many people to hide in their attics, only to realize the water was raising even higher. They had to break out of their attics with 'axes' or whatever else they could find. tylerb143on February 11, 2011The part about the axes in the attics makes sense, but i'm not sure where you get "giants in the sky" from... i'm pretty sure it's "cameras" isn't it? Which would make the person above's interpretation fit together, about the media and everything... I guess it'll all be cleared up once we can get our hands on the album booklet, lol. Punkrock1039on February 12, 2011The "giants in the sky" part is in the beginning, referring to a hurricane. The "cameras in the sky" part is right after "axes in the attic" and its referencing the media helicopters. tylerb143on February 12, 2011Yeah i realized that afterward lol, im

This song is referring to Katrian and the lack of help that LA. was given along with the BP Oil Spill... The song was inspired by McIlrath's time in New Orleans while on a tour break and the massive amounts of destruction he witnessed in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast after both Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil disaster. McIlrath has also stated in recent interviews that the song - while having the lyrics pertaining to Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil disaster - can be in reference to any world issue. jthorpeon March 11, 2013   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

This song is clearly about the lack of response from both government and civilians alike for Hurricane Katrina and the Deep Water Horizon incident. The first three verses are regarding Katrina and verses 5,6,&7 are in regards to the BP disaster. Verse 9 " Choking on the black gold, upon which we rely, We keep axes in the attic, for cameras in the sky" refers to the utter apathy of the US in whole towards both disasters. "Cameras in the sky" is not a reference to god or anything of the sort. In the aftermath of Katrina, the media swarmed the area with helicopters to photograph the horrific scene of people/families who had busted through their roofs to avoid rising water and did nothing to help them.

Okay so try this:I know this is a little out there but it totally makes sense if you REALLY think about it...Religiously, Jewish people are waiting for a Messiah to help them but He has never come. Christians are waiting for the second coming for the past 2000 some odd years. "Cameras in the sky" God and/or angels as a "Big Brother""Five thousand feet below, as black smoke engulfs the sky" as in Satan taking over and letting all this bad stuff happen while religious people just sit and wait. "I have my mother's dreams, I have my father's eyes" meaning you think like Eve and see like Adam in the sinful way"The crescent city sleeps while giants in the sky preparing to unleash..." Heaven isn't doing anything while Satan is taking over ready to attack... I have more if you want to dispute or let me know if you agree. Please leave feedback.

Upon first hearing this song, it's really not hard to figure out what it's about. When I first heard it, I initially thought about some sort of natural disaster just by the chorus and some of the verse material. I really didn't know exactly what it was about until I saw the video because some parts in the verses where I didn't know what the lyrics were. When I saw the video, I immediately knew. I was like Woah, this song is about Hurricane Katrina; because I remember seeing the news footage back then when the hurricane happened. This is really a powerful song. The video is as well. It's my personal favorite by the band. James Deanon September 01, 2017   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Are you really an artist if you give up a say in the creation process? If you're a performer making millions, touring the globe, endorsing brands, and influencing fans, is that what it takes to make it big today? Can we really call these people individuals?

That day, That day What a mess what a marvel I walked into that cloud again And I lost myself And I'm sad, sad, sad Small, alone, scared Craving purity A fragile mind and a gentle spirit That day, That day, What a marvelous mess This is all that I can do I'm done to be me Sad, scared, small, alone, beautiful It's supposed to be like this I accept everything It's supposed to be like this That day, That day I lay down beside myself In this feeling of pain, sadness Scared, small, climbing, crawling Towards the light And it's all that I see and I'm tired and I'm right And I'm wrong And it's beautiful That day, That day What a mess, what a marvel We're all the same But no one thinks so And it's okay And I'm small and I'm divine And it's beautiful And it's coming And it's already here And it's absolutely perfect That day, That day When everything was a mess And everything was in place And there's too much hurt Sad, small, scared, alone And everyone's a cynic And it's hard and it's sweet But it's supposed to be like this That day, That day When I sat in the sun And I thought and I cried Cause I'm sad, scared, small Alone, strong And I'm nothing and I'm true Only a brave man can break through And it's all okay Yeah, it's okay That day, That day I lay down beside myself In this feeling of pain, sadness Scared, small, climbing, crawling Towards the light And it's all that I see and I'm tired and I'm right And I'm wrong And it's beautiful That day, That day What a mess, what a marveleous mess We're all the same But no one thinks so And it's okay And I'm small and I'm divine And it's beautiful And it's coming And it's already here And it's absolutely perfect That day, That day That day, That day That day, That day When I lay down beside myself In this feeling of pain, sadness Scared, small, climbing, crawling Towards the light And it's all that I see and I'm tired and I'm right And I'm wrong And it's beautiful That day, That day What a mess, what a marveleous mess We're all the same But no one thinks so And it's okay And I'm small and I'm divine And it's beautiful And it's coming And it's already here And it's absolutely perfect That day, That day That day, That day That day, That day That day, That day So sweet, can you feel it?

I love this song because I went through exactly the same thing. I mentally collapsed for 3 days straight and couldn't hold up a conversation without crying over nothing. It's all about being confused, feeling and not knowing why. Knowing everything and finding out you know nothing. In the end you straighten yourself out and realise it's all ok.Jusaon October 07, 2002   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I perfectly agree with californiarose...this song is everyone's story and it owns to everyone of us... Personally, it is related to a period in which I was totally in love with an older boy who didn't even know I exist,also because we saw each other so seldom. Then, "That day" for me became the day in which I knew I would have seen him for the last time...And do you know what happened?We kissed...I was 17 and now I'm 20,but each time I listen to this wonderful song I can't help crying and thinking about how sad but magic that moment had been,and how much it had meant to me..Sweet Janeon April 05, 2005   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I personally feel like this song can't even really be defined. It just sort of fits my life in every way possible- it's such a beautiful song, I don't understand why it got so much less recognition than "Torn". Don't get me wrong, I like "Torn" as much as the next person but this song is so much more raw and personal (not to sound like a Lindsay Lohan album ripoff or anything...) and I think that the music in general is just better. I can't even really begin to describe how much I love this song. paper_hearts13on August 22, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I think this song is so raw that it has to be interpreted individually to be understood. There's no real, set-in-stone meaning. But I love it. It's very beautiful, and emotional.

I absolutely love this song!! I'm sorry to repeat, but it is so raw and emotional. I agree with Simplistic, its just like someone throwing down their thoughts but their thoughts and feelings are going so fast that it just comes out as this stream of words that somehow still make sense despite the sense of rambling. I love the beginning of the chorus:'That day, that dayI lay down beside myselfIn this feeling of pain, sadnessScared, small, climbing, crawlingTowards the light'To me that really describes the desperate nights I spent last year, when I'd just lie there and feel such indescribable pain, but I just had to keep going and 'crawl towards the light'. A beautiful song, so much emotion in such simple words. Old Irelandon November 12, 2008   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

That day, That day What a mess what a marvel I walked into that cloud again And I lost myself And I'm sad, sad, sad Small, alone, scared Craving purity A fragile mind and a gentle spirit That day, That day, What a marvelous mess This is all that I can do I'm done to be me Sad, scared, small, alone, beautiful It's supposed to be like this I accept everything It's supposed to be like this That day, That day I lay down beside myself In this feeling of pain, sadness Scared, small, climbing, crawling Towards the light And it's all that I see and I'm tired and I'm right And I'm wrong And it's beautiful That day, That day What a mess, what a marvel We're all the same But no one thinks so And it's okay And I'm small and I'm divine And it's beautiful And it's coming And it's already here And it's absolutely perfect That day, That day When everything was a mess And everything was in place And there's too much hurt Sad, small, scared, alone And everyone's a cynic And it's hard and it's sweet But it's supposed to be like this That day, That day When I sat in the sun And I thought and I cried Cause I'm sad, scared, small Alone, strong And I'm nothing and I'm true Only a brave man can break through And it's all okay Yeah, it's okay That day, That day I lay down beside myself In this feeling of pain, sadness Scared, small, climbing, crawling Towards the light And it's all that I see and I'm tired and I'm right And I'm wrong And it's beautiful That day, That day What a mess, what a marveleous mess We're all the same But no one thinks so And it's okay And I'm small and I'm divine And it's beautiful And it's coming And it's already here And it's absolutely perfect That day, That day That day, That day That day, That day When I lay down beside myself In this feeling of pain, sadness Scared, small, climbing, crawling Towards the light And it's all that I see and I'm tired and I'm right And I'm wrong And it's beautiful That day, That day What a mess, what a marveleous mess We're all the same But no one thinks so And it's okay And I'm small and I'm divine And it's beautiful And it's coming And it's already here And it's absolutely perfect That day, That day That day, That day That day, That day That day, That day So sweet, can you feel it?

Just heard this song for the first time and immediately it said something quite clear to me. My personal interpretation is that she's had an overwhelming experience, her emotions are so intense and confusing that she doesn't know how she feels. She wants to cry, to run, but she also feels enlightened and positive. She wonders if she should wish it had never happened, but then she realises it was meant to be, everything is as it should be, it was fate, she has learned something important, wonderful, complex and sad but she's better as a result. She accepts it with joy and sadness. steppenwolf81on January 26, 2012   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Interesting to see what everyone else has said. It kind of makes sense with what I have to say too. Someone said it was about having several feelings one on top of the other and so fast and so intense that the words don't seem to make sense - that's beautiful! I would interpret it as a moment when a person is remembering or reliving a special day when she felt everything she had to feel, good or bad, accepted it, accepted people as they are, accepted the confusion, the war, the backstabbing and also saw divinity in herself, was able to see beyond the common human experience to realise she is much more than this experience on Earth. She seems to get a feeling of transcendence. It's like a moment of clarity. I would love to hear what Natalie herself has to say about it.

What shall I say I fear you will betray me How many ways Can you prolong this tragedy Who told you that I would be back You came here to seize my freedom I will send you falling slowly To the earth I see below me You never knew With open arms I came to you Judging me so safe to be with Mistakes you made that you can't live with What you get is what you need When you watch the blood but you don't bleed You make me feel like a masked delusion Of a man's whose life became an illusion

The relation of these lyrics to PCP is reasonable only in New Order actually named the song referring to the lyrics. It wouldn't be strange for me to know that the members of New Order sometimes put titles to their songs without even thinking of the lyrics. But, on the other hand, the lyrics of this song seem to describe an addiction-type relationship, one of those so common in modern society ("You came here to seize my freedom"). This kind of romance can easily be compared with a drug addiction. Nevertheless, I don't know the exact effects of PCP. Maybe there it is the secluded meaning of this song.

Davies describes the ultimate fantasy - rags to riches to rags and on the run with a life full of romance. Who doesn't have their little dreams while at work, wishing they were someplace else? And if that dream is too perfect, it doesn't seem as real - I guess that's why this dreamer's luck runs out - like it does in real life! It's funny though - if you're a Supertramp nut case like me, you know that while Davies talks here about the rate he gets paid, an earlier song, 'Poor Boy' says, 'One drop of rain, they complain, it's the same about the wage they're earning...', essentially not caring about the money. Very nice song and the chorus at the end was well done as well.

Feel like it's about being depressed about your life. You go to work on Monday, see all of the same familiar faces and complete dull routinely tasks. It feels like you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel with this situation. But you can only dream about the life you wish to lead, think of things you can do to get rich fast and leave the seemingly dead-end life you're stuck in, even if it's something illegal. But, alas, you know you'll never do such a thing, so the closest thing to liberation is just to dream, and live in a perpetual fantasy.

this is about demi's friend Trenton Cole Bailey Stout. They were best friends. They had known each other since Demi was 2. He was a year older than her. He stayed at their house a lot, it was like his second home, and Dallas was like his sister. They both lived in Colleyville, Texas. As they grew up, their friendship only got stronger. But you see, since Demi was a grade below him, she didn’t know his friends, what was going on, and all that in his grade. Like she said, she’d gotten suicidal thoughts when she was 7, but he got her through it all. She stayed strong for him. She started getting an eating disorder, and he could tell, he worried about her, so he tried to stand up for her, but it didn’t work very well. He was bullied before that, but just in his own grade, after trying to stand up for Demi, he was bullied in both the grade below him and his own grade, making it nearly impossible to have friends, or feel safe. He and Demi were a lot alike, they both struggled so much with peer pressure, bullying, and that type of stuff. One day, the walked to school together, Trenton seemed fine. They had a normal day and went home, hung our for a while at Demi’s house, then he went home. Demi was about 12. Trenton was about 13. The next day, he didn’t walk to school with her, worrying her. But she thought he might’ve been sick- even though he was never sick and had never missed a day of school in his life. She thought about him all day and worried about him. At the end of the school day, she’d still heard nothing about him, no one knew what happened, not his friends, not anyone in his grade, not the teachers, not her friends, which turned her stomach in knots. As she was about to walk home, she got a call from her mom. Her mom was crying, and told Demi that Trenton had died. Demi didn’t believe her and ran home. Her mother hugged her tightly, as the ambulances surrounded her house, and Trenton’s house. She ran over to his house, and she saw his body. She didn’t think he looked like the Trenton she knew. The Trenton sh

This song talk about Shakira as a mature individual who no longer want to be hidden by an attempt to maintain an image. The opening lyrics show Shakira's confession many of her untold secrets, with the promise she will stay honest. The next lines in which she says the costume makes the clown basically says that the glamour and image she presents isn't who she was, she then begs that people will be understading and goes on to say "its your turn now to cheat on me" implying that by hiding her true nature she has in a way cheated on whoever she is doing the confession and she is accepting of the fact that there might be repercussions. The rest of the song just continue the message that she is willing to open up and show her true nature while tyring to make others understand that is is human nature to want to hide who you really are from time to time. Again Shakira succeeds to write an execellent song about human nature and not just superficial subjects as many other artist tend to do.

SeizureToday: I argued with myself whether or not to incorporate biographical information into my interpretation of the song, but since learning more about Ed, it seems fairly logical assuming Juan from argentina may have been an apple in an eye at one point in time. I think its interesting, the parallel between 'another lie coming' and the questioning the effects of the knife: with every blow (arguably a stab) comes another lie (and with that injury comes, blood). So, in the end, blood and lies are somehow synonymous: both probably in abundance while the speaker stares into the victim's eyes.

This song is clearly about being backstabbed "cant you feel the knife?" or the act of backstabbing someone. I think that "with every blow comes another lie" means that the person who is backstabbing him is saying low awful blows to him or about him that he knows arent true. and when he says "you think its alright?" hes not saying it is alright, hes asking- you think its alright to do this to me? almost in a "i cant believe you think its alright to hurt me this way" :) its a very beautiful emotional and though provoking song. grizzly bear FTW! flowerchild369on November 24, 2010   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

The song seems to be about a relationship where one person in it is lying to the other about something. It's possible that the one lover is lying to the other because they're cheating on them, but then it could be any range of serious things. The point of the song, though, is that it's killing the person being lied to that the one they love is doing it to them. v8pluveron September 17, 2014   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

In my opinion this song and video is talking about how selfish (and sad) existence is/can be; the belief one "needs" to procreate themselves again is quite a proud belief to posess. (not specifically talking about humanity here. even though humans are pretty much the most selfish creatures on earth. ):: man wouldn't be man without a woman; (the earth, the trees, the sea) to nurture and provide meaning for their existence. and women would not be women without a man; (the life that consumes the earth) to father and protect new life. consumption and reproduction are truly disgusting, and very selfish. (i mean yeah, sure...survival is key...but for what reason do we reproduce exactly? hmm... it's not like any child ever ASKED to be born.) women want to be loved and want to nurture children/new life that is also loved. (to live through their children again and correct mistakes they made in their life.) but men just want to reproduce for they are lusted and tempted to spread their seed. so much so that they'd even turn on the hand that fed them to do so. (men wish to teach their sons the "importance" of finding many suitable mates, so to continue his genes on to new life)"You think it's alright." - women justify their suffering and self-sacrifice through experiencing the creation of their own children, which is either beautiful or extremely gross, depending on how you look at it. "Don't you feel the knife?" - and the men keep at it and keep at it for the women never stop to think that maybe they shouldn't be procreating at all, for it only feeds into the agenda of selfishly tempted men. i'm not a feminist or anything. but after watching the bands video for this song, i definitely got a feeling for the meaning of it. i love grizzly bear. sorry i wrote so much. but this song has so much meaning in its' sound. ithinkiamon November 20, 2009   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I feel like the speaker is the one being deceitful. Everyone seems to interpret it as the speaker being deceived, but the speaker is asking, 'Do you feel the knife?' as if he is asking if the person he is lying to is even aware that he's stabbing her in the back. At least that's what I thought. HC6on December 14, 2014   Link1 Reply Log in to replyThere was an error. @HC6@HC6 that's what I thought when I listened to it too.

If you listen to Easier and Lullabye before this you get the idea that it's a relationship that's dried up. In Easier, everything around them is broken but they continue to let it go and just keep repeating the same mistakes. They're convincing themselves everything is alright and wishing for the days when things were easier. In the end of the song he can't find the person he fell in love with. In Lullabye, I feel like because of it's more ominous sounds and the lyrics "chin up, cheer up, chin up" he's preparing himself for whats to come. It sounds like the tone of the relationship has changed and become cold and the love they have for each other is overshadowed by bitterness. These lyrics I don't really get the sense that the he is telling real lies. I got the impression that it was more of an internal lie, like his partner is convincing herself that everything is alright. They've been arguing and ignoring the underlining problems, he's aware of them and when he looks at her he sees them. He sees how blind she is to how broken they really are. He feels the knife and he repeats it, like it's this nagging feeling that he can't get off of his mind. He asks "Can't you feel the knife?" because he does. tessa from appalachiaon February 18, 2015   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I think it's about being in a relationship were one party is being mistreated and lied to, but accepts it as normal ( " you think it's alright..."). Where in truth they should be feeling the knife in their back. CraigSr83on October 03, 2019   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Song FactMapei's description of the song, "It’s like how sometimes you fight with your friends, but you really love them and you don’t want to piss them off or whatever. I’m a people-pleaser when it comes to my friends, I do everything for them; so when we fight, it really hits my heart. I was just thinking about friends and lovers, and not waiting until I fuck up or something..like, don’t wait for life to say what you want to say."

I wish I could believe in something bigger More than these trees These winds, these oceans I wish I could believe what they tell me I saw, I saw, I saw my brother pack his bags and leave We made our goodbyes And now he is settled down in the city Where he doesn't have to be himself He used to play an un-tuned guitar While he sang about me and he sung about the stars I used to dream about another time And now it's all clear That's the only time I wish would come back I wish I could hold on a little longer Still my worried stomach And calm my hunger I wish I could believe what they taught me I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw an old photograph And the picture that appeared Well, it took me back to the times When she was around She used to play that old mandolin And the moon and the sea invited her in I wish that I had told her by then But she knew deep down That she only wished that time would come back A new day awaits me I could be gone today A new day awaits me We could be here to stay We used to wait for our heavy storms To take us away while something new would form I wish that I could have known by then Well, we all know now That we're never getting back to those time

I think the song is about a family, the siblings all have dreams and the desire to leave home though they later realize that they miss what they had and that they can never get it back because they are grown and no matter how much she holds onto it, it is slipping away.

Well I own this feeling And I rode the sky And I have no reason to reason with you I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you lowered, and I understand that I've never let it go I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered, But I understand the world does what it does You never did learn to let the little things go, And you never did learn to let me be. And you never did learn to let little people grow, You never did learn how to see. But I whisper that I love this man now until forever, To your soul as it floats out of the window. To the world that you turned your back on, To the world that never really let you be. I am lower now, and lower still, And you did always say that one day I would suffer, You did always say that people get their pay, You did always say that I was going places, And that you wouldn't have it any other way. But I couldn't turn my back on a world, For what I like wouldn't let me, But i couldn't turn my back on a world, For what I like anyway I couldn't turn my back on a world for what I like wouldn't let me and I couldn't turn my back on a world for what I like I needed and I shouldn't turn my back, On sweet smelling Blackberry Stone.

On the BBC 6 Music podcast Laura did in the run-up to the Mercury Music Prize, she mentioned that this song was inspired by one of her friends, who said that their favourite part of things is always the littlest part - hence the blackberry stone. For me, it's about not letting yourself give up on the world, even when things have been awful, because if you look there is beauty even in the tiniest parts.

This is gonna be super long but it's Incubus! My interpretation is he's wondering if the right woman for him really exists in the world, possibly being reflective like him from loneliness. And if she does exist, they need to get together and "make a mess," considering how he feels if he met someone of the same character it'd be a "mess." He pictures how she might look and be. He relates how happy he'd be with "I'll call out your name up into the air, not one of the others could ever compare." The word could instead of would because right now she's just a thought and in comparison to these thoughts of the right person, no one he has ever been with in life even compares. Also with the fate lines, he doesn't care about fate, even if what they'd have is better, just that he wants her to stay with him. Or the staying line could mean his thoughts of that woman. The attic reference pertains to the mind, meaning his thoughts of her bring light to a dark or dreary mind. I know all the fans are thinking "what the fuck?" with the lyric "in the back of my eyes" but it's also meaning his brain, because behind the eyes there lies brain matter. "A proof of the prize" is sort of hard to explain. I think it means how alive the thoughts make him feel are proof that this person who may or may not exist is the prize. The ships reference is really interesting. He mentions a thousand ships as if he's been watching the harbor, seeing as he lives in a "city by the sea," for a long time, or feeling really sad for a really long time. He watches the world go by while feeling empty inside. The cloud hanging over him is loneliness, a thousand ships sail him back from distress, again meaning a long time. The wounded satellite lyric means he's receptive but fearful, weary of those trying to reach him, only she could fix him and make him right. That cloud that hangs over hinders his happiness of these thoughts in the second verse, and the ships bring him back from that pain because the ships are lively in a harbor, always coming and going. If t

The "wounded satellite" lyric is briliant, very clever. It also sums up the entire song. He's broken and yet his whole existence still revolves around this girl he's not with / hasn't met / doesn't exist. Zytheon October 04, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

sorry if my interpretation is a wee bit different but here goes. incubus is known for their love of ...substances, and molly is the street name for pure mdma. many bands talk about certain drugs in songs and refer to them as a woman to stay incognito. not that i'd know anything about molly ;) but here's my take:"a cloud hangs over" ...boredom, depression? "wonder if she might be out there and sober as well" ...obvious. "girl it's time we met and made a mess" ...also obvious. "a fire in the attic, proof of the prize" ...attic = mind, mdma produces a warming effect. "wish you were here I'm a wounded satellite" ...satellite as in feeling fragmented, as molly makes you feel whole and one with everything. "put me back together, make me right" ...molly is compared to a years worth of therapy in one dose. "Not one of the others could ever compare" ...no other drug can compare to the clarity induced by mdma. "there is a light... there is a fire defragmenting the attic." ...an inward light can been seen on molly, and it is defragmenting his mind. basically taking all the pieces of his mind and connecting them together to become a whole. "Fate? Or something better? I couldn't care less, just stay with me for a while" ... he's having an epiphany... doesn't want the effects to end. anyone? anyone? dolanmanon January 30, 2012   Link2 Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. @dolanmanand i figured the anomaly wordplay was obvious as well. dolanmanon January 30, 2012@dolanman This is my favorite interpretation.

Its totally about how he is searching for the one girl that is perfect for him. There is a play on the word anomaly, which means inconsistency or deviation from the norm. He has been with lots of girls that have not worked out for him. He is searching for the anomaly, or the one that sticks out from the rest. bdavislax9on December 01, 2010   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I'm not sure if this is right, but it seems like there might be a connection to me. In the song they sing Anna Molly pretty strangly. I think they are trying to make it sound like "Annabel Lee" as in the poem by E. A. Poe. Theres also a couple of lyrical connections like "This city by the sea" In the poem by poe, the second line is "In a kingdom by the sea"What are your thoughts on this? laxboy130126on December 02, 2006   Link1 Reply Log in to replyThere was an error. @laxboy130126Great observation laxboy130126!!

I agree with IncubusRulesAll. If I might add when he mentions the ships in the sea he is speaking about all the girls in his life. where his life is like the sea and didnt use the word world or ocean because a sea is more narrowed to a certain place, where his life is not open to every girl, just the ones around him. The crowd that hangs over might be his peers pressuring him to find that special one he longs for and "mutes" his real thoughts but the "ships"("girls" in my view) help him think about the special one and what his goal is and to, if i could say, "mute" his peers pressure. mnelso00on September 26, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I'm not surprised at the sound of this new song really.. (In my opinion, the song's "feeling" is reminiscent of Pantomime for some reason) It's slightly relaxing/powerful at the same time. I thought, however, they'd come out with something a little "harder" for their first single BUT I have to say they grow every single time they make a new cd. This album is without a doubt going to be amazing and I am extremely excited!!! Looks like the interpretations so far have been thorough as far as I can tell... so I just wanted to concur that Incubus rules all. p.s.

this is the coolest song i've heard in 2006... i can't say i'm suprised it was incubus. usually i don't leave messages like this, but WOW. I love the "anomoly" theory-- it makes so much since and reminds me of why i've always loved and respected them so much.

i think the ships passing is everyone, not just the ladies. i mostly think of friends though cause he says "a thousand ships come and sail me back from distress" and i know if i've had a rough ending or a killed relationship, my friends bail me out and bring me back from downsville. also the thousand reference makes me think he's maybe refering to the fans in such a large number too, but that's stretching it a bit. vicekingon September 28, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

What IncubusRulesAll wrote pretty much does describe what I thought when I first heard the song. See, that's why I love Incubus. Somehow Brandon always manages to write the most elaborate lyrics I've ever heard and together with the music it is like a drug to me. For me as someone who is not a native speaker it's kind of funny when I have to look up words in the dictionary or do get the meaning after having listened to a song for a couple of times. I've got a question for you guys : is that "being sober from loneliness"-line a play on "being drunk by / with love" ? I guess I need some help here because I'm not too familiar with those phrases in the English language. chris@acon September 29, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

That's actually a good question. I've thought about that one a lot on what it means. Possibly meaing, being in a temporary (though hoping permanent by the sounds of it) state of mind that's not from loneliness. Like when you're sober, not intoxicated from whatever it is. That would fit with what he describes in the second verse starting in the first. Hm. I don't know if it's from love. I think he's wondering if a girl is out there, searching for someone like he is, sober from loneliness, could be from a result of thinking of another person, like he's doing. And sober presents the implication that he's intoxicated by the loneliness a lot (like the other lyrics suggest), in a sort of way an alcoholic is with alcohol. Because you wouldn't necessarily say sober if it was a rare occurance, I don't think. Haha I could go on forever. You're right, those guys manage to write the most elaborate songs while in the structure of verses and a chorus.

Don't feel bad Skeptic, I got out of control when I saw this in my email. The "wounded sattellite" is one of the best lines, I love when Boyd makes stellar references, it's amazing how thier songs "paint" a perfect picture with sensory imagery,Like a port town overcast with dark clouds and he's sitting on a roof looking up at the sky wondering when he'll break out of it.

i think everyone has pretty much covered this song, i like the idea how anna molly, a symbol of his perfect girl, is said as anamoly, meaning his perfect girl isnt very clear whether she will ever exist. furthermore, i think its a bit more literal when he says in this city by the sea, given that he does live right by the sea...Valsurfon October 09, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

What does the video mean though? It's like he is singing to this girl who is "dead", but is really alive. She goes through the process of being inspected, sent to the morgue, and then she ends up on the operating bed. It's so weird at the end when she is about to get the dremell-saw (sp?) to the head. She starts crying as the saw comes down closer. But he is looking for her, like all the recent posts have said, but why is SHE crying? Maybe because of her own self discovery. Not really sure. I think the video yeilds many different interpretations as well as reinforcing the interpretations mentioned here. Maybe someone else has insight? Also, right before she is about to get demolished by the saw, she officially comes to life and grabs the surgeon's arm. Maybe the singer is the operator, and she is telling him to stop, because she is the one? Really confusing video, but very nice song by incubus. falling_piecelesson November 02, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

my theory on the video is still kinda hazy..and this may be long because i am kind of developing it as i go...but i think it plays on the "anomaly" idea of the pronunciation of anna-molly. since an anomaly is something that appears as something it is not...the girl, through all normal points of reference, is dead. (although now that i think of it...they never even take her vitals..hmm) so anyways, throughout the entire video, this girl is an anomaly to science..although she seems to be dead, she is actually alive. and it is not until actual death is immenant that she has the ability to come back to life. maybe a commentary on how so many people walk through life appearing to be one way, but hidden underneath are another way (people who refuse to come out of the closet for whatever reason are the first example that come to mind)..so it's sort of a self-discovery idea, as mentioned by falling_pieceless, but more of a forced one. i hope this made some sort of sense...xtine24on November 04, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I love the song but who is Anna Molly? Is it just a made up name or someone significant? I also like the idea of Anna Molly being "I'm lonely"It does sound alot like that when you listen to it.

Ditto's all around. The "perfect girl" is the anomaly. She may exist or may not exist, but either way she is not physically with him therefore the anomaly presents itself.

this song is about Anna Molly who is an "anomaly" , One that is peculiar, irregular, abnormal, or difficult to classify..i think she's someone who seem really unclear to him, don't know if she's real or what. i guess the thought of her makes her seem realistic...alwaysloveon November 11, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

The video's meaning is slightly different. I think the video tries to explain that one's soulmate cannot die until they've found you, or it could be symbolic of Brandon's quest for true love and even when he seems he's dead... he's not, he'll come back. It could also be symbolic of a band that feels they're dying, but making a miraculous survival with a successful sixth album :P.Zytheon November 19, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

As I am norwegian, there will be several words and expressions that will just pass me by and makes interpretation a bit harder for me. :)Anyho ... I thought that maybe Anna Molly (the anomaly) is a ideal girl, which everyone else is being compared to. He has a picture of this girl in the back of his eyes - which represents "a fire in the attic" and "a proof of the prize" - while he watches the ships pass; hoping to find his Anna Molly. Well, it makes sense with some of the lines and then not with som of the others. It's a thought, none the less :)m0rrison November 19, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Well, a lot of music would be referred to as "another pop band" or "another metal band" or "another emo band" until one actually gets into the music and releases depth from the words. I loved the interpretations already presented here. It's great that a site like this could gather such ambiguous meanings to songs.

I don't think in the lyrics it was meant to read "anomaly" that is just how he is saying "anna molly" but with a twist so it sounds like anomaly. the concept of this song is great, i dont think he is using anomaly as the definition of a distance between planets, more so as the definition: different or unlike. whatever the matter, this song kicks ass, it does get better everytime and i just love the "du du du du du du" parts lolRocker_92on December 02, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

anomaly: something different, abnormal, peculiar, or not easily classifiedSee, the music video of anna-molly by Incubus. This song is sweet, it is obvious from the music video that the lyrics have the double meaning. The anomoly is how the girl is somehow still alive/able to move after being pronounced dead. Anna-molly is the girl that Brandon/the listener always dreams of but can never find. This song is SWEEEEEETTTTTT!!! catille13on December 02, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Jerryk: Isn't that - at least to a certain degree - the beauty of music, that it can mean different things to different people? In my humble opinion a song can't be over-analyzed. But with that being said; there's a difference in how people understand the words and what Brandon meant when he wrote it. In any case, I think the first-mentioned is the most interesting. m0rrison December 20, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

"Anna-Molly" is a play on "anomaly", and Brandon's lyrics within the song sound closer to the latter. If you watch the video, the girl who is presumed dead and almost killed at the mortuary is Anna-Molly, hence the name: she's an anomaly.

as far as the video its based off a stephen king short story 'the autopsy'. guy gets bitten by a african boomslang snake and appears dead. instead of crying a single tear he gets an erection when the nurse bends over so they stop and he ends up dating the nurse. anyway i listened to anna-molly then wish you were here some similarities 1000 ships on the sea/ the ocean looks like 1000 diamonds on a blue blanket. He's a wounded satellite needing her now/ counting ufo's and signalling them. i dont know it made sense when i first thought about it but now that i typed it out it looks odd...i think i listen to Incubus too much. getoffmytotson December 21, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

The title of the song is called Anna-Molly, which is a wordplay on "anomaly" which would be the one girl who is different, the anomaly, that he is searching for. Anna-Molly just sounds like anomaly so I'm assuming they wanted to name the person being searched for. :)Billicus87on January 02, 2007   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Anna Molly:The presence of a harmonizing, intimate match loams over his other thoughts disclosed by the “A cloud hangs over” followed closely by the mention of a “city by the sea”. The “city by the sea” may hint at the overwhelming frontier he has encountered by trying to meet his perfect counterpart. The remainder of this paragraph displays that he longs to know whether she exists and is searching too. “[Picturing her] face in the back of [his] eyes”, “a fire in the attic, a proof of the prize” he pictures her when suddenly the realization of this actually being a realistic thought creates a spark in his mind a mental proof of such a possibility. The clever use of Ann Molly closely resembling an anomaly, defined as something that deviates from the standard or norm, that someone so perfect for himself could exist is a long shot but oddly still possible. Sorry that’s as far as I got if anyone disagrees or agrees let me know. I’m sad to say that the radio is going to overplay and kill this song, like Drive, but oh well its amazingly clever in its lyrics, like all of Incubus’ songs. Can’t wait to see them in Austin in January. RP1160on December 11, 2006   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

To me this song is interpretted completely different then what anyone has said. first he is bored and has an odd cloud hanging over his head. Coulds don't come at birth. He then thinks of this girl. Lonely like him. He says persist. Lets meet and make a mess. He pictures her face. He knows her face. His finds something special in his old memories. Something that proves that love is between them still. A peculiar loveHe says a cloud hangs over and that he's in distress. Somebody damaged him and his friends all try to help. But she is the only one who can help, he knows in his heart. He calls out to her. He already knows her name. Even her name is perfect. And hers is the only one he likes the sound of. He tells her to wait(listen). There's something in his mind. Something that shines a light(something you would want to aim for), something that burns(something he has passion for). It is in her memory. Its so good, it can only be "fate or something better". And this memory is the proof that they belong together. So he's called her and now he's asking her to stay and be in his life, even if its only a passing ship. In sumary. Bored. Thinks about HER. Thinks she's great. Memories of her give him faith. He has a cloud over his life. Nobody can save him but this girl. (She is probably somebody he knew but never knew he loved) He calls out to her. She comes to put him back together. But unlike all the other ships that just come and go, he tells this one to wait. Something has lit up his world. He doesn't know what it is but he knows its heaven sent. And the next verse, he tells her he's realized he's in love with her. He wants her to stay with him. sean_is_richon January 05, 2007   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

ok, just saw the video. like i said. she was dead, over, gone forever. But then comes the fire. And she twitches. he calls her name and she comes back alive. ITS ABOUT REKINDLING THE FLAMES OF AN OLD RELATIONSHIP!!! its so fu*ing awesome!! A FIRE IN THE ATTIC? ok first of all, nobody goes to the attic so it'd set your whole house on fire if you don't know about it. we like fire but not that much. The other possibility is that it'll just go out on its own. Thats why if there is a fire in your attic, you must find it and tame it, build it how you want. Or move it to a safer place, like the fireplace(AKA HEARTH!!) may sound crazy. Just like a spark. If there's a spark in your memories, you can either ignore them, or you can search them, make the flames bigger, REKINDLE THE FLAMES, and move it from the back of your mind to the depths of your heart. sean_is_richon January 06, 2007   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I'm not sure why, but as soon as I heard "a fire in the attic" I instantly thought of the book Jane Eyre and it's rather meloncholy yet romantic endingie, "Jane immediately travels to Thornfield Hall, only to find it destroyed by a fire and abandoned. She learns that Mr. Rochester lost a hand, an eye, and sight in the other eye as a result of an unsucessful attempt to save Bertha from the flames in the attic, of which she was the cause." bekakakakakaon January 09, 2007   LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

the pun in this songs title is actually rubbish, and sums up both albums after morning view. It seems that when they lost Dirk lance they lose some of their originality and flair. what this song means to me? the death of incubus's usual genius and instead of churning out thought provoking, lyrically challenging songs like Make Yourself and Warning (11am also just because those lyrics are fantastic), they've resorted to cheap puns in songs.

Well for those that haven't seen the video, when i listen to this song I picture myself sitting alone and confused with the "cloud" portrayed as depression at what i cant have which is the girl on/in the "ship" car that has left and isn't coming back. The "crowd that hangs over" is how he's trying to get over her but everyone keeps "muting his happiness" reminding him of her. He keeps wanting her back more and more, and he sees her in the "attic" back of his mind/head. He's "calling her name into the air" which portrays him screaming her name in veined sadness. He can't get over her and she won't come back. ***A cloud hangs over this city by the sea. I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be out there and sober as well from loneliness. Please do persist, girl it's time we met and made a mess. Wait... there is a light... there is a fire defragmenting the attic. Fate? Or something better? I could care less, just stay with me for a while. ***These are the most powerful parts of this song, in my opinion, because when he says "Girl its time we met and made a mess" he knows its over b4 it starts again, and the bridge of the song just is self explanitory: he cant get OVER HER!
