Tag: meaning of songs

article 2019-04-29 124625_12.html

June 17, 2005
Lyrics this time. totally different. I haven’t spent any time working on the lyrics of any specific songs this time. I have titles for each one, general themes, subject matter ideas but just haven’t taken the time to work sitting down and writing them. as each guy adds his parts it gets closer and closer to time for me to get serious about discovering what the lyrics are going to be for these babies because eventually I’m going to have to sing all my final vocal takes.

[On ‘I wanna know ya’ from NIC I didn’t even bother writing lyrics. I just mumbled nonsense with an occasional word thrown in here or there because it sounded good like that on that dummy take and we didn’t want to take the risk of effing it up by re-recording it. and truly I just didn’t want to bother working out lyrics about a song about seeing a chick and wanting to hang with her. if you ever sit down and say to yourself ‘what the fuck is he saying in that song?’ don’t go crazy trying to figure it out. I’m not saying anything. I’m just screaming stream of consciousness gibberish.]

so these babies for the new album are getting to that point and I haven’t made that move yet to sitting down with paper and working out any lyrics. Just phrases are coming here and there. underneath it all is the whisper of the song telling me what it wants to be about, of what it’s truly saying at its core.
‘waiting for Godot’ – which we just finished tracking just now –- I recorded 6 different guitar parts that sound super-bad-ass — Vancouver will probably lay down another 6 I would imagine — is about how fucking miserable it is to live with all of life’s unanswerable questions and unfairness and how we’re just waiting to die to hopefully discover something/anything of real substance or truth besides all this pain suffering and mystery. This song is really out there. sonically. Slams.
‘Here it comes’ is my favorite if I had to choose. Or solaris. Here it comes is so romantic. A guy telling his girl we can make it. I know its hard and it seems so fucked and hopeless now, at this time, still, I know, it still sucks, life is still hard for us babe, but I swear to fucking God I can feel that its coming around. here it comes.

‘Solaris’ I wrote during watching that movie. I was so moved by that movie for some reason. So its like that. a guy is speaking to his girl who has passed on to the other side, out in solaris, now that she has found her new life, what’s it like, who is she now. do you still think about me?
‘After tomorrow’ is a suicide letter. You’ve tried hard to do what you had to and what you needed to and what you should do and could do and still it didn’t work out. there was always something that I couldn’t explain getting in my way. fate always working against me. so I’m out of here. after tomorrow I’ll be able to breathe again. I’m checking out.
