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.
I picture your face
At the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic
A proof o' the prize!

A cloud hangs over
And mutes my happiness.
A thousand ships couldn't
Sail me back from distress.
Wish you were here, I'm
A wounded satellite.
I need you now
Put me back together
Make me right.

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | Yeah so it deffeninetly is anomaly but the song is based off an Edgar Allan Poe poem Annabell Lee (again close in name). The first line of the song is sorta the whole poem its about how a cloud blows over the sky killing his dear Annabell LeeCooker3071on April 16, 2007 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | I'm unsure of this one, but as soon as I read these lyrics, a few things jumped into my mind. This is totally unrelated to the video by the way, and is a perosnal theory of mine. Anyone a fan of 18th century British Literature? Y'know, The Bronte's, Jane Austen, thoes types. Theres a novel by Charlotte Bronte called 'Jayne Eyre', very, very good book. I've been studying it recently for my degree. Anyway, some of the lyrics seem to link to this novel really really well. Here's what I got. For a start: "Anomoly" could be in referance to the main character. In the 18th Century women were expected to be subservant to men, but Jane isn't. She's an anomoly. She does not conform. Another Example: "I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be out there and sober as well from loneliness" This relates to when the two main charcters Jane and Mr Rochester are parted. They were meant to be married, but Jane finds that Rochester has a wife already. She run's away and Rochester grieves for her, and becomes lonely. The whole "Make a mess" could be in referance to, the mess they would create in society if they did marry. Rochester is wealthy and Jane is a mere governess. It wouldn't fit the standard. "I picture your face in the back of my eyes" could be to do with the fact that Rochester becomes blind in the novel, and this is the only way he has of picturing his beloved Jane. Okay, "A fire in the attic" is my main lyric here. Rochesters previous wife, is a mad woman, insane if you like. She is kept locked in the attick all her life. She starts a fire one day, and this is how Rochester becomes blind. "I'm calling your name, up in the air" this could be to do with when they are seperate, Rochester calls Jane's name when his home is on fire, and miles and miles away, Jane feels him calling her, and returns to him. "None of the others, could ever compare" is reffering to the fact that for most of the novel Jane thinks Rochester is in love with another woman, called Blanche, and it takes a while for Jane to be convinved otherwis |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | thank god this person said anna molly instead of \"anomaly\" cause that was driving me crazy. but this song is probably about a lost love to the singer. however, no matter how much he wants to be with her, he can\'t. but when he says, \"wait, there is a light, there is a fire,\" i think that means that he still has hope for their love. buckeyegy030on May 02, 2007 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | this song is way amazing, so so cool, I love incubus so much!! the only thing I have to say is I think some of the ideas/metaphors from this new album were a little weaker. I love the use of the word anamoly, but I think using it as the girls name is kinda cheesy, i dunno, just too obviously trying to use a play on words. I think we coulda figured out he was talking about a girl on our own. but the song on it own is amazing, I just don't like the title. aj19on May 04, 2007 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | I like how part of the beginning sounds like Italian food. I far prefer American food, ie Hamburglars, but Italian foods can be quite alright. I, just like Garfield, enjoy Lasagna. Oh yeah, the song.. It's good too. TheDiggleEffecton May 15, 2007 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | the whole Ana-Molly thing=Anamoly yes. the video doens't have much to do with the meaning behind the song so much, its an idea yatta yatta yatta. this song i believe to be about agirl who was BRANDON'S anamoly, ian i believe her to be the girl he was with until the making of morning view. they were together through out highschool, and yes, he was with that model for a while, but they broke up while Light Grenades was in the making, if i'm not mistaken. He was with the girl(not caroline the model) all through out highschool, and she cheated onhim while he was making morning view if i am not mistaken. SHE is his Anna-Molly...his anomoly.

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | This is what happens to me when I hear the song on the radio: My hands clinch really tight on the steering wheel and I get this feeling... like the feeling you get when you go over a dip in the road really quick. Then my face clinches like I'm eating a lime. I press on the gas more and turn the radio up. This song really does something to me. It's amazing how a well written piece of music can do that. The way the musicians are almost breaking their instuments because they're playing them so hard, while the well-sung melody dances softly over top.. The first time I heard it, it made me think that it was about the many struggles of living in Los Angeles. "The cloud hangs over, my city by the sea.." Life in LA is sort of an anomoly at times. It's one big catch 22. After reading the lyrics it seems like more of a love song, bitter sweet as it is. I took from it what I needed I guess....timmarson June 01, 2007 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | Well I think this song means something different from just reading the lyrics. By the way, in the chorus it's not actually 'Anna Molly', it's anomoly. An anomoly is a mistake in a set of results, and the person he's singing about is the mistake he made but he still loves her. She's obviously hurt him, probably cheated on him drunk from the line 'out there and sober'. He can't stop thinking about her even though he shouldn't. It also says no one can compare which is what most of us feel like after a harsh break up, we feel as is no one can compare to them and just want them back. That's what I think this is about, a lot of what it is saying is in metaphor, and a lot of you are taking it literally. Also, to the video comment, videos are just a 'cool idea' to make people want to watch your video and listen to your song. juicyemilyon July 02, 2007 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Out there and sober
As well from loneliness.

If you haven't read it then read it and listen to this song... it deals with almost the exact same subject and has some of the same ideas... even the title is similar to this song...{b00mstiKK}on December 08, 2007 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | Well.. Anna Malle, the former porn star, died January 25, 2006, (before anna molly was released).. Her friend Nina Hartley reflected on her deceased friend and referred to Anna as her "perfect partner:"... While Edgar Allan Poe wrote a poem named Annabel Lee, The poem's narrator describes his love for Annabel Lee, which began many years ago in an unnamed "kingdom by the sea." (sounds close to "the city by the sea".. which are the lyrics in anna molly) The poem focuses on an ideal love which is unusually strong. In fact, the narrator's actions show that he not only loves Annabel Lee, but he worships her, something he can only do after her death... Which brings us to an interesting idea: You could just imagine that Brandon is singing about Anna Malle, the porn star, after her death.. So both Anna Malle, and Annabel Lee died, both leaving partners behind.. So maybe if you cant make sense of what im saying.. look these facts up for yourself.. wikipedia.com just look for anna molly, anna malle, and annabel lee... compare the story in the lyrics to the poem, and the story of the death of the porn star... hehehe sorry if this doesnt make sense..... its just a skech theory..Brandon Son December 21, 2007 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | I think "city by the sea" is Los Angeles...where I believe they wrote this album, that could be wrong though. I think Anna Molly is simply a metaphor that sounds a lot like anamoly which is why they used it. I think it's about Brandon and searching for his soulmate (if you wanna call it that) which he has already found...possibly in a flashback of how he felt when searching for "the one" and he could picture her in his minds eye, but didn't know her yet. kezy12on January 29, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | After a year and change I still can't get enough Anna Molly! I love everything about this song. And the videio is great, I can see how it fits with the song. I alwayas see the girl as not being just a girl who is found dead or persumed dead but it's brandons idea of his perfect match and she is found because brandon starts to really search for her and think deeply about her so she surfaces from out of nowhere. I love how it ends with her reaching up to stop the saw. I think that says that yes, Brandons match is there and she is not just an idea and more than a anomaly and she is reaching to be found. idiotidiotidioton February 03, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | I also think the "anna Molly" is the world anomaly---but it's a girls name, right, so he's seeking out someone but she's an anomaly so she's hard to find because she's different. Like where is the girl who is "the one?" IncubusRulesAll did a great job of interpreting this song...everyone should interpret the lyrics as they like though...he's used the attic theory in one of their other songs though...a metaphore for the mind? but im not so sure i like the music video... what do you all think?

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | grrreat... I think I'm so smart figuring out this song all by myself and it turns out that everyone has already beat me to it. But since I am far too lazy to read all five pages of comments on it, I will now share my perspective even if it does repeat other people (sorry yall): The song is basically about a quest for The One, I think maybe he has found her already but really, he could "wish she were here" and all that even without knowing her. It has a great metaphor: he's the city by the sea and the ships are women (there's no way this hasn't been discussed), but they don't even compare to his soul mate because she's an ANOMALY (ie not like the others). They're destined for each other by Fate, or something better than Fate... hmm, I know what I think that is... I think this is a great song; surprisingly enough very few love songs meaningfully cover this whole soul-mate/destiny area and I really love that about 'Anna Molly'. Especially great since my name's in the title (not telling which one); maybe I'm somebody's anomaly, too... sigh :)And BY THE WAY the video scared the shit out of me right at the end!!! But I liked it anyway. cloudy eyeon February 15, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | I believe this song is about a guy who has lost this girl because of his indiscretions. And he knows that she will never take him back. And even though he is with another girl he is still lonely because he knows that he has lost his soulmate. He is wondering if she is as lonely as him. I picture your face in the back of my eyes. A fire in the attic a proof of the prize. Hes saying that she is always in the back of his mind. And there will always be a fire burning in his heart for her. Then he says 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. He has somehow been able to talk or connect with this girl and there is a tiny spark that may remain, and gives him hope.. But he has to work at getting the fire started again, and he has to work at being faithful and the obstacles that face him like his friends and family not wanting them to be together need to be set straight..rene56on February 23, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | I think it's definitely, as others have said, his own version of Annabel Lee. "The poem's narrator describes his love for Annabel Lee, which began many years ago in an unnamed "kingdom by the sea." Though they were young, their love for one another burned with such an intensity that angels became jealous. For that reason, the narrator believes, she was killed. Even so, their love is strong enough that it extends beyond the grave and the narrator believes their two souls are still entwined. Every night, he dreams of Annabel Lee and sees the brightness of her eyes in the stars." Good stuff. Great song. metzoron March 14, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |
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.
I picture your face
At the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic
A proof o' the prize!

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | Been reading some of the interpretations, and it's great to see that everyone has their own. Songs, of course, are poems, and the only person who knows the definite meaning to the piece, is the writer themselves. But interpreting a poem, with only the words to guide us, is such fun! But I must say, all this talk about fires in attics tied in with Jane Eyre...some of you fine listeners are taking things a bit too far, a little too extreme. Creative point of view, but a little too extreme. (Excellent book, might I add.) Easy interpretation? A man is yearning for the perfect love, with that perfect woman. That's it. Nothing else to it. The music video states the same thing. Just takes a more dramatic approach. I really enjoy not only this song, but this whole album. Incubus, unlike a lot of music groups out there, have each album portray a different, and powerful message. Zebra_Stripeson April 28, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | Anna Molly is meant to sound like "ANOMALY" when he is singing it. He is singing about the search for his perfect girl, who feels exactly as him. she may be out there searching for the exact same thing he is - himself. It is an ANOMALY- and he names her Anna Molly accordingly. Anna Molly (Anomaly) - is someth8ing he knows exists but can't quite reach. metalan1on November 04, 2008 Link1 Reply Log in to replyThere was an error. @metalan1he'd probably have to book a flight to get to the Anna Molly. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | This song to me is like life after a first love or break up. When that person becomes only a virtual memory and you compare everyone else to them but they never measure up. It's the anomaly. The unclassified person whom you can never have but still you don't want anyone else. I think a lot of people are right in their views, this is just my little bit of a different take on the song I guess. tulipsareblueon November 22, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | I believe this song is about hallucinating about someone that doesn't exist. As stated by the band, this Anna Molly person is a virtual perfect girl, yet Brandon pronounces it like anomaly. So is he saying Anna Molly is an abnormality because she is perfect? Does perfection exist? Most likely not. BillieArmon March 02, 2009 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | Let me just say that I'm not really into Incubus, but this has become one of my favourite songs. I believe that he's singing about finding his match, his one true love; "I picture your face at the back of my eyes, a fire in the attic, a proof of the prize" means that he can picture her so vividly in his mind and that gives him the proof to believe that she must be out there somewhere. Being alone for so long has broken him down, made him lonely, and so he tells her to "persist", to try to find him. The part "Wait... There is a light..." is seemingly where he finds her, he doesn't care how or why, he just wants her to stay. Now the video suggests mostly the same thing... I think the dead girl shown would be his one true love, but being dead and all... Well, that would just mean that he would never meet her and would stay lonely for the rest of his life. In the video he sings as if she were alive, still searching for her, but he doesn't realize that he's singing to no one. I find this makes the song a little heartbreaking, really. I mean, if you believe in the "one true love" ideal, then what would happen if they were killed and you never met? NOW, I believe this is where the "anomaly" comes in. Since we can't have a sad ending, the girl goes against logic and revives - maybe she heard the desperate song, or maybe love is bringing them together (awww....) Just kidding. In any case, I do love this song, and the video is really insightful. :)Happy reviewing. Lawcereon September 23, 2009 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

My thoughts travel to these depictions as well, with the addition of “a thousand ships couldn’t sail me back from distress.” Anna-Molly is his Helen of Troy…the face that launched a thousand ships. Now he can’t ever sail back…since… “none of the others could ever compare.” ;(stillrememberon November 20, 2009 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | Ok, Want2Lrn has it right, at least I think. Anna Molly is not talking about a person... think about the way its sung. Its really meant to mean anomaly, which means deviation from the norm or common order, which is something incubus talks about in many of their songs, making them AMAZING. To me it sounds like the song is talking about a spiritual experience (which is also prevalent in many of the songs). It doesn't mean a 'christian' spiritual experience, but just an eye opening event, almost like a 3rd eye opening (like in the video). Awesome song, like every other!

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | Everyone thinks his songs talk about a woman most of the time? He's talking about the Divine Spirit. He uses his knowing control of your mind to talk about a deeper topic.. and if you ever awaken, you can learn from this band... A LOT. I promise... Incubus is badass for a reason. Hear me out and please, critique my association if need be. You guys need to do some DRUGS. This is what he is saying... to me is that this song is about COMPLETE ENLIGHTENMENT... and a possible psychodelic drug reference... Which, we do know Brandon Boyd is not a phycho... right? Stemming from a user of 'psycho'delic? Let me point you to a tool of enlightenment, I believe.. research it and find it's effects. Ever heard of the drug DMT... or your pineal glad?? That's what this WHOLE song is could be about... to his experience of enlightenment. YouTube it if you're bored, I promise it's VERY, VERY interesting even to people who do NOT do drugs. DMT is a chemical compound found in ALL LIVING ORGANISMS. People produce it in their brain when they sleep... causing dreams. It's found even in the grass in your yard. Whenever people break this compound down, and ingest it (drink it, smoke it, etc), you see something that straight up TALKS TO YOU in your mind... some of the most profound and self realizing thoughts. Please, I'm not a crazy person, just look it up. It's real shit, there's even books on it (DMT - The Spirit Molecule, for one). A cloud hangs over this city by the sea. - Clouds cause disruption of the sky... clouded mind. I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be out there and sober as well from loneliness. - To me, clearly a reference to God... He's referring to his first line, I'm watching everything go by... and life sucks, so I do drugs bc I'm lonely and want to fill that void that life does not provide me. She doesn't do drugs and is happy... something MORE. Please do persist, girl it's time we met and made a mess. - It's time I find you and turn my life upside down. NOW...NOW...Is where I think what he's talking about c |

Doo wohhhhhh | 053TqfoRuva4bHoj | 3530822107858639553 | I feel this song is about a girl he perhaps feels connected with, by an umbilical cord that is invicible. Sort of like a soul mate/twin flame. Given that he's a Pisces and if you were to do research on the Piscean sign and the Virgoian, you may find some more answers biblical but also stemming from Egyptian times. I remember once reading something that was written about the song and the concept about a girl that "may or may not exist in real life". An anomaly. I agree with Want2Lrn, when you meation Divine Spirit and also the pineal gland. Too bad that Mr Boyd couldn't tell us outright the Divine meaning or person that is in question but it's fun to pick apart songs. I find it quite interesting (this song) because I come from a town that has two different geomagnetic anomalies. Regardless, awesome sauces! postrchildon February 28, 2013 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |
It's only been three weeks
And a bag of speed from Jamie the PhD
She comes by the front desk
To leave my transcript with her edits
Cause I don't wanna leave the palace
At least that's what my true love calls it
Last night I wrote a poem
Man, I must have been in the poem zone
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
Maybe I'll get a pet
Learn how to take care of somebody else
Maybe I'll name him Jeff
But I think it might defeat the purpose
Living on house keeping and room service
But I don't wanna leave the palace
Let's pay someone to move in and fix this
Last night I texted your iPhone
And said I think I'm ready to come home
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm way in over my head | 05EPdUWvKgjEsb7G | 3530822107859571628 | I think it's just a song about a temporary need to disconnect from your life, although maybe not in the most healthy way. For example, it seems like he's put up a bit of a barrier between him and the people he works with and the people he cares about, by staying tucked away in his own metaphorical "palace." And of course as he continues to inhabit this palace of his (a tongue-in-cheek reference to his ability to afford services that will do his cleaning and food prep for him, like a hotel room or an apartment where he only orders food and has a cleaning service) he starts to have all these loose thoughts and notions about things that may help distract him or fill some void, like getting a dog and wondering what he would name it if he did. He also mentions he wrote a poem, and makes a somewhat sarcastic allusion to being in "the poem zone"- another hint that he was feeling sentimental- or perhaps navel-gazing a bit- and in the moment had been reaching out for some way to express a thought or feeling, and not necessarily an extremely happy thought or feeling. I like how in the end he alludes to the fact that he reached out to someone and is "ready to come home." Which in itself is another big clue for what sort of position/state of mind he occupies throughout the song- one of being disconnected and away from his usual routine and surroundings. I think his refrain of "I'm in way over my head" is just about life in general. Even though we are often aware of our current mental state- for example, knowing when we feel "at home" vs. "in a foreign place"- in a way it never really matters what we feel. We are human, and even if we're feeling "at home", "comfortable," "at peace," "happy"... even when we feel all these ways, the truth is that we are forever "way in over our heads" at the same time, just by being here. |

Sending the shivers up and down my spine

Take your breath away | 05UNBlb2uXPMkcN0 | 10218 | to me it says to live life to the fullest, party, drink, fuck, seek, and destroy. another song about not giving a fuck and doing what you want to. take risks, do all the drugs on the table, live fast, die young,and leave a good looking corpse. Man, I fuckin' LOVE this song!! RealFnShowon March 06, 2003 Link1 Reply Log in to replyThere was an error. @RealFnShowParty all you want, fuck all you want, seek & destroy all you want, take as many risks as you want, live as fast as you want, but you shouldn't drink, do drugs, or want to die young. A metalhead that is healthy and wild will live longer and better than a metalhead who died from alcohol and drug abuse. For example, Bon Scott dies from his alcolhol drinking, and if he hadn't, then he'd still be here. Trust me, abandone the whiskey and cocaine and you'll realize how much more you'd enjoy yourself in life. |

Take your breath away | 05UNBlb2uXPMkcN0 | 10218 | The whole album reminds me of motorhead if you ask me, this song more than any. And wasn't Lars head of a Motorhead fan club for a while. They certainly show their roots. Cliff was so trying to be Lemmy as well. Mahakalaon May 31, 2004 Link1 Reply Log in to replyThere was an error. @MahakalaLars loves the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, which were his main influences (maybe not so much now). Motorhead are considered the first speed metal band, which speed metal and thrash metal are closely similar. Cliff however, liked everything. Scott Ian (Anthrax) even said that once he saw Cliff wearing bellbottoms and a denim vest rocking out while listening to R.E.M., whether anyone thought it was cool or not. This shows how much of an awesome badass Cliff was. He didn't need to prove anything to anyone. (Rust In Peace Cliff, your fans love you and miss you). |

Take your breath away | 05UNBlb2uXPMkcN0 | 10218 | no drugs. i think its just about going full speed ahead. not so much copying the meaning of motorhead, but definitely influenced the title. btw i love the motorhead covers on Garage Inc, especially overkill, which reminds me of this song. and lastly if you dont like metallica now you never liked them so make like a tree and get the f*** out of here. Motorbreath429on March 31, 2008 Link1 Reply Log in to replyThere was an error. @Motorbreath429Yeah, it's about life in the fast lane. I agree about how much a person really likes Metallica. Kill 'Em All kicks ass. Ride The Lightning is Powerful. Master Of Puppets is classic. ...And Justice For All is Magnificent. Metallica is Simpler, but still strong and heavy. Load is experimental (and reminds me of Led Zeppelin), but is as equally good and fun to listen too. Reload is an all-around great record. St. Anger is low-quality, but very heavy and fierce. Death Magnetic is a throwback to the thrash of the 80's with the modern quality of the 90's. Lulu...well...is the worst album by Metallica, but the greatest record by Lou Reed. |

James is god. bassmastajayon January 28, 2009 Link2 Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. @bassmastajayIt's about living fast. Cocaine is just one part of living fast. tornthornthoron February 05, 2012@bassmastajay This song in its entirety was solely written by James. Everything; guitar, bass ... the concept. He wanted everyone in the band to keep focusing on speed and aggression. The song is about doing everything fast because you know once you get into music business you don't have a minute for yourself. I don't believe it's about drug 'cause i know James never did any drugs. Other than drinking to the fullest he's always wanted to keep his voice clean. Also James was and still is into fast cars, competition, Nascar, drag racing ... which bring you to the video of FUEL. Dats All Folks. |

One Set Of Fans Favor Thrash 80's Metallica, While The Other Favor Hard Rock 90's Metallica. I Swear Metallica Fans Are The Quickest To Criticize Everything Metallica Does. Bands Should Experiment And Try A Different Approach In Their Music Every Once In A While. Selling-Out Is A Shitty Insult Made-Up By Stupid Fans So They Could Criticize The Bands They Like Whenever They Did Something They Did Not Want Them To Do. Come On...Metallica Never Does Wrong, And Neither Does Anyone Else That Is Criticized For Trying Something New. Life Is About Trying New Things And This Song Is About That Too.

A sell-out is a stupid term used by idiots to critizise the bands (they like, oddly) when they do something they didn't like. You're just mad because they didn't do what you wanted them to. You're a sell-out kid. A band you actually like, yet you insult them. You're not even a real fan. |
Close your eyes
Don't you feel the rejection, baby?
Does it hurt?
Come there now
I've got something to tell you, honey...
I don't want you back
Won't you take me back
Won't you take me back with you
Won't you take me back
Won't you wrap me with your love again...
Get out of my life
I know I failed you, but I'll make it up
Get out my life
I know I failed you, just let me try again
You're to blame
I'm no more your business
Can't you see I'm praying
For your forgiveness
Shut your mouth
I don't need your affection, darling
Does it hurt?
Come here now
I've got something to tell you, honey...
I don't want you back
I will do anything you want
But hold me forever
Be a nightmare in my sleep
Scare me forever
Like a bullet in my soul
Kill me forever
All the lies I have sold to you
Are soul thorns in my mouth | 05m78XTGJ0C81Fdw | 43193 | For a long time, I didn't like this song, not because of the lyrics or the subject matter, but because I didn't feel Cristina and Andrea's performance on the album version adequately captured the animosity that this song represents. But when they did it live on the Unleashed Memories tour, they were singing to each other, and they were really getting into their characters, and _that_ version of the song rocked. |
Patience's only gets you so far
Blood will get you further
Pain will only make your heart hard, tossed in fury's weather
Innocence is beautiful to see
Won't you box it up for me?
For me
Oh, give me strength and give me peace
Does any body out there want to you hear me?
It's just another downpour, don't let it get the best of you
It's only up from the floor, light everything inside of you
Don't burn out, don't burn out on me
Don't burn out, don't burn out on me
Sadness is my enemy
I fear time will age him gently
Walking by my side for all these years
Seems that we've grown friendly
Happiness is beautiful to see
Won't you box it up for me?
For me
Oh, give me strength and give me peace
Does any body out there want to you hear me?
It's just another downpour, don't let it get the best of you
It's only up from the floor, light everything inside of you
Don't burn out, don't burn out on me
Don't burn out, don't burn out on me
It's just another downpour
It's just another downpour
Its just another downpour, don't let it get the best of you
It's only up from the floor, light everything inside of you
I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
Don't burn out, don't burn out on me
I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
Don't burn out, don't burn out on me | 05m8Scx2aFwkq6mV | 3530822107859579030 | I think this song is about depression and suicide. "Happiness is beautiful to see...don't let it get the best of you...don't burn out...sadness is my enemy" they are all about how depression may seem overwelming, butbherebua hope and you shouldn't give up. |

It's basically telling the previous generations that you can't tell us who to become or what to do with our lives. We're going to do what we want and suceed at it. You say we're wrong, but you're wrong about us. "I've got no reason to apologizeThat's my generation"foolish.hearton July 23, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

That's my generation | 0632Mc6uw64xV8nF | 3530822107858705646 | That's pretty much the general reason for the song's being; a lot of bands and people commented that Simple Plan just doesn't play the right music or aim at the right crowd. This could be considered their response to that, in the sense that they're trying to aim for something new, a future featuring a different style that focuses on both problems and solutions of music and real life. Their generation is different than others, and so will their choices and lifestyles be. That's how I remember hearing it anyway.

But it's a bit different to "Shut up"It's like, people telling SP that they're too soft, and they don't rock out enough like, 80s/early 90s bands. Mostly metal. And SP are saying that's a different generation, and this is a completely new generation. Their generation. A little bit like "I hate Jimmy Page" by Mindless Self Indulgence (A song which is completely about forgetting about the past, because this is NOW) but a whole lot different as well.

Like saying, that the past generations should back off, and let us live our way.. because theres nothing wrong with how we're living. rockxedgeon September 12, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

So did there parents!? They are talking about what everybody wants, secretly: FREEDOM. Deep in everybody's heart, they'd love to break there chains. Even if that's impossible. But the wish is there. So why try to kill that spirit in the people that actually can do that? A lot of people are always talking about how wonderful teenage life is and that you should enjoy that free part of your life while you can. Well, hello, we are trying but (and not only parents) people try to tell us how to enjoy. That kind of sucks. Generation tells that story, if you ask me. Like in a lot of songs, Simple Plan is standing in the front line, taking a stand and healing wounds created by pointless fights between parents and kids. Awesome band. Love this song.

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | The first things that struck me about this song when I listened to it was then repeated phrase "Brave New World" which of course made me think of the Aldous Huxley novel. "Brave New World" in the book referred to a new society which was highly artificial, blinded and obsessed with consuming and hedonistic pleasures and there was a constant battle between truth (and reality) and what people believed (or were made to believe via government control and mood altering drugs). This society worshiped Henry Ford, the inventor of mass production and the assembly line (and that's why they worshiped him). I think Jared is saying "Its a Brave New World" stating that society has arrived at a point similar to that of the fictional society in the book and that "This is War" because we are fighting back to reclaim a better society which is more truthful and not based on artifical, selfish, meaningless things, hence the song it leads into (100 Suns). Since he states "I do believe in the light, raise your hands up to the sky The fight is done, war is won, lift your hands toward the suntoward the sun, toward the sun, the war is won" right before the lead into "100 Suns" makes me think that he's saying we'll win the battle against a fake, meaningless society by its very destruction (reference the "100 Suns till we part" line and its interpretation). candykaoson December 02, 2009 Link5 Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. @candykaosi agree with you completely. The book is the first thing that popped into my head also. When i was looking through these comments, i couldnt find anything about the book until i saw yours. I was going to post my own comment but i would just be repeating what you said. Good job! :)royaldancer5678on December 28, 2009ummmm, sooo, both of you refer it to Brave New World by Aldous Huxley but you do know that his book is referencing Shakespeare's "The Tempest" in the Title??? and when John the Savage meets Lenina for the first time he quotes line-by-line the tempest, where "O Brave new world" is from? be |

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | I think the end of the song will be misinterpted by many. It reminds me of my favorite John Lennon song "GOD." I think what he is saying is you don't have to believe in this and you don't have to believe in that, you just have to believe in ourselves and each other. Peace or War, Earth or Stars, Night or Day, Sin or God, none of those can save us, but we look to everything else except ourselves to. I highly doubt the whole end of the song is just a rant about being an atheist but that just my opinion. It seems from this and Kings and Queens that the theme of the album is about changing the world, hope and things like that and it sounds great so far!

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | This could have 2 differrent meanings in my opinion. It could be talking about having a war coming to those who oppress the weak (not necessarily religious but could be). I don't think it actually means the prophet, pariah, masiah etc. I think it is more to the people that immitate them to the so called world leaders and that their reign as a pretence will come to an end 'it's a brave new world'. I reckon the essence of it is the people of the world coming together eventually against those who oppress under the pretence of these titles. People will do anything for this new world, everyone has the power within them. This song is empowering to people and the and are acting as a leader for us to fight oppression now that people have conquered the inner fight. The last stanza(i call it this because his songs are more like poems), is a little confusing but it could be telling us what he personally believes because they did say in an interview that they are making this album a little more personal for them, although this is confusing as well because Jared wears a cross around his neck so i don't think that his words are that literal. These are all my own opinion feel free to comment and say what you think as well, its always good to hear another's opinion. :D Hope I helped clear it up a bit more or maybe confused you :P :Dprincess24095on November 06, 2009 Link2 Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. @princess24095perhaps a brave new world refers to the novel, by orwell? or was it bradburry? anyhoo if it does then it fits your interpretation quite wellubbaon June 03, 2010I don't think this is about religion. When he says"A warning to the prophet, the liar, the honestThis is WarTo the leader, the pariah, the victim, the messiahThis is war"He means opposites. He is warniong everyone, no favorites. The war is a war between him and the world trying to save it, make it better, change. He is an alt rock band, so he is a non-conformist. he wants other people to be themselves more often. thats his "war". |

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | This song is obviously anti-war. watch the video. The beginning of the video has "This is a song about peace. The video also shows every humvee, battleship, weapon, helo, bomber, being collected up in the sky. In "War is a Racket" by Marine Corps General Smedley Butler, it states "That is for all nations to get together and scrap every ship, every gun, every rifle, every tank, every war plane. Even this, if it were possible, would not be enough." agarcia510on November 05, 2012 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | First i would like to state to all that i am not a religous person in the slightest i am of all things a taoist(which is a philosophy not a religon). Although i do pride myself on trying to learn about all religons to help me relate with a wider variety of people. I read through all of the previous comments because i was interested and a common theme i found was religon, which is understandable, but more specifically is the ascension. Now i do not claim to know any religous book by heart but the armegadon is something i have read extensively about and i hope you all realize something. The bible clearly states that not all christians will rise to heaven. In the bible it states that only a thousand people from each of the thirteen tribes will be taken to heaven before the battle between heaven and hell... and neutrals will start. Truth is good and evil is all relative to the person/people categorizeing it. What i find good can be your evil and what you find good i might consider evil. Example a woman breaks into a store and steals food and drinks. She gets caught and the store owner thinking of only theirself and their belongings presses charges and sues the woman. Now if we look into the womans past we find out that she is a single mother with 5 kids and just recently got fired from her job because one of her kids was severely sick and needed to be taken to the hospital. Now clearly not having a job, plus she has bills, now medical bills, she has no money for food and refuses to let her kids grow up in the streets. She decides to rob a store but will only take what she needs... Who is in the wrong? I'll let you decide. "To the soldier, the civilian, the martyr, the victim...... to the prophet, the liar, the honest... To the leader, the pariah, the victim, the messiah"Think back on your life we have all at one time considered ourselves multiple things out of this list. Whether it was knowingly or unknowingly that is for you to remember but we have all done it. This is not a warning to some god, antichrist, or fake. |

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | This song always makes me feel like I can do anything. It's so inspiring, and has a great attitude toward the future. As for my interpretation, I'm a Christian, so it has great religious meaning to me. About how God will save us, and help us with the fight against evil. Stuff like that. xD Aside from religion, I think that it basically means to believe in yourself, because "you can do it". Anyway, it's a wonderful song - I never get tired of hearing it. It's power and raw emotion kind of reminds me of "Welcome to the Black Parade" by MCR. pepsicola1295on February 28, 2010 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

For example, I had cancer when I was a little girl and I know I work with cancer patients, volunteer with the American Cancer Society, and conducting research on why we fear cancer. To me "This Is War" not only against cancer but, the stigmas it creates as well. When I'm done with my research I hope it will be "a brave new world".

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | Generally, the song is mentioned two to four different things at once. "The good and the evil", "The soldier, the civilian, the martyr, the victim", "the prophet, the liar, the honest". This could simply be for the rhythm of the song, but there is also a pattern to it, which leads to other meanings (intentionally or not). We'll start with the following line/half-stanza. "The soldier, the civilian,the martyr, the victim"All of these are common words, but there is one that I'd like to define here. A martyr is one who voluntarily suffers as the penalty for refusing to renounce their beliefs. With this in mind, let's continue. The way they are spoken, the soldier and the martyr line up, and the civilian and the victim. Soldiers generally defend their land, people, and beliefs. By joining a military, you generally share the beliefs and causes of the group. Many soldiers are wounded and/or killed defending the aforementioned beliefs, people, and/or land. Thus, one could say they are martyrs, of a sort. Civilian and victim are lined up, and if you follow the same pattern as the above paragraph, the civilians are the victims. In this case, a civilian could be anyone who doesn't take up arms (Whether physical weapons, or the power of their voice) to defend what they believe. The next line like this is "The leader, the pariah, the victor, the messiah". Once again, they line up as Leader:Victor, Pariah:Messiah. A pariah is an outcast, whether by their own will or simply rejection. A messiah is any form of expected messenger or courier. Your mailman could be considered a very low form of messiah, as he doesn't deliver any sort of message of great importance like the typical Messiah. This line could be implying that the leader is the one that will be considered the victor, and the pariah is the one who is delivering the message. For example, the one who leads the troops into the fray will be considered the hero at the end, but there could be that outcast (pariah) who is the one that delivers the actual message or cause, witho |

Are they trying to say that nowadays outcasts are going to be the true leaders? Or is it saying the best place during a war is to be away from all society? Just thinking of this since I consider myself an outcast/pariah. ElfEvolutionson June 05, 2015 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

They fight with complete loyalty with no doubt or second thought. Then I wondered, are the other countries doing the same. Are we just same as North Korea? People who are lied to with propaganda. All the war for democracy, war for a free world and the freedom of the people just a scam? This song popped skepticism in my mind. nick201133on June 10, 2015 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

True, the rest on that list can not. marzzon November 25, 2009 Link2 Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. @marzzMaybe but that is all opinion depending on what religion you are. Jewish(Yawh and future messiah can), Christian (God & Jesus can), Muslim (Only Allah) Buddhist(no one can, one with yourself) Agnostic (your not sure but maybe some higher power but not defined), Atheist(no one, you just are screwed) and so on. I don't have a clue what religion Leto is so i have no clue if he believes that god is a savior. My opinion thoughGiezer7on November 25, 2009I agree with Glezer. It all depends how you would define "God". I do think the "believe in yourself" thing sounds on the right track. |

You can pretty much interpret it anyway you like. takeaguesson March 25, 2010 Link1 Reply Log in to replyThere was an error. |

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | i think that this song is about the end of the world as forseen by the Bible. that the world is going to end up being corrupted, and the anti christ, and all that. the first two verses are of warning, the chorus is of the action and consequence, and the war never really ends becuase God comes first to take his people like in the Chronicles of Narnia, and then the war is won, and Heaven really is a brave new world. The last part where he is saying, i believe in nothing...is saying how in Heaven everything will just be happy and there wont be night and day, there wont be evil there wont be sins, and once we see God for real, its not just a belief anymore. activehumbuckeron June 27, 2010 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | One thing I always love about 30 Seconds to Mars is that they can get very deep with the lyrics but always keep it "neutral" so it doesn't offend anyone. This song starts out talking about war and a new world coming. The first part of the song has religious meaning, at least for me, and even quotes a few things regarding Armageddon and the results of the earth afterward. "moment of truth...lie...live...die", "warning...liar...prophet", "last to the first". So, if you are religious, it is comforting because it means the end to all the wickedness on the earth. The ending then balances out the religious beginning, which really brings out the true meaning of the song. Basically, from what I understand, it means that no matter who we are, religious or not, there will be a great change coming soon. But, instead of fearing it, we can fight through it and come out safely on the other end, finally in a peaceful new world.

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | This song has been on my mind constantly since the commercial for the final episodes of Fringe season 2 this year. It is the most perfect pairing of song and show I've ever seen. "A warning to the people, the good and the evil, this is war"...Two parallel universes are colliding with one side intent on destroying the other. "To the right, To the left, we will fight to the death. To the Edge of the Earth, it's a Brave New World from the last to the first"...The stakes are very high, people we love will be lost, and the world will be forever changed. For anyone who hasn't seen Fringe because it's just scifi you're depriving yourself of one of the most fully-realized, vulnerable, and achingly human characters on TV, Walter Bishop, played by the extraordinary John Noble (Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Return of the King). He deserves to win an Emmy. Fringe is more about family than the monster of the week, which always ties back into the overarching story.

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | I agree with Bears09. This song has such an amazing message and a great personal connection for me. To me, it speaks about fighting your inner demons and/or fighting for what you believe in and what you deserve. Personally, this song has inspired me to fight against certain thoughts I've been having lately that could lead to an unstable mental state. A Warning to the peopleThe Good and the EvilThis Is War- fighting all the people who've ever been there or tried to help (the good) or the people who've brought you down and made you feel worthless (the evil). We're going to fight, basically. Its the moment of truth and the moment to lie- the moment to tell the truth about how you've been feeling. The moment to face up to the problems and tackle them head on...or run away. The moment to live and the moment to die- the moment to make the decision to fight. Fight and you win. Give up and you die. The moment to fight, the moment to fight, to fight, to fight, to fightTo the right To the left we will fight to the deathTo the Edge of the Earth, It's a Brave New World from the last to the first- Obviously, the moment to beat your inner demons. "We will fight to the death" of the negative thoughts and emotions. We'll go to any extremes to emerge a new person. The slow ending is obviously the victory, the moment where you know you're winning or the moment you know you CAN win. You can get there. sweetaslemonson August 24, 2010 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

Many of the comments on here have to do with religion, and I agree, it may be about religion, but it's confusing. The ending, from "I don believe in the light..." to "I believe in nothing...", what is all this about? How can he believe in the light, and urge people to raise their hands up to the sky, and then say that he doesn't believe in nothing; peace, war, God, sin, etc...? lvaz12on December 03, 2010 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | I liked this song but now I am kind of sick of it because there are so many bad AMVs that use this. Idk why it's so popular in the anime fan community. At any rate, the song mentions "the people, the good and the evil, the Soldier, The Civilian, The Martyr, The Victim, the prophet, the liar, the honest, the leader, the pariah, the victim, the messiah" When he says "This is war", I think he means something that transcends all of these things. Because he's talking "to" all of these people. What that is, I don't really know. But it sounds cool that there's some great cause that everyone needs to be fighting for, right now.

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | The song is about informing people about the war and how we need to keep fighting to stop the war and that we aren’t going down without a fight. It is saying one thing about a person then saying the opposite, e.g. the good and the evil, or the liar and the honest, and it is saying that it doesn’t matter who you are, there is still war going on. The message is a warning to everybody about how war affects everyone and how we need to keep fighting to gain peace. Released on December the 8th, 2009. Sung by Jarred Leto. They may have written and sung this song because the war in Iraq and Afghanistan was still ongoing in 2009. In the video clip of the song ‘This is War’ by ’30 seconds to Mars’, The music video shows US soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and all the throughout the video, all of the army tanks and helicopters fly to one spot, and in the end all the pieces of the machinery of war make a pyramid, this is called a Celtic triad (pyramid or triangle shape). It is often seen as a sign of rebuilding and reconstruction. The three points can represent various beliefs such as ‘past, present and future’ or ‘Creator, sustainer and destroyer’ or ‘Creation, preservation and destruction’. The message is that the war has been fought and won and this is now time to rebuild for a brighter future and a brave new world. Thanks for reading and please do not copy, from hollyP.S. i wrote this all for my school assessment! uchihagirlon November 04, 2012 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

A brave new world | 063UJy9rv6oq9Mqg | 3530822107858803607 | I think that if you see the word in such a way, he's warning all these different type of people. Each different type, whether liar or honest, even those who may be in God chosen in way. Whoever is the one fighting(they say they'll fight every inch of the earth) so therefore isn't that the warning that he is giving out to every type of person that he mentions? He's warning each person whether your evil or good, no matter what length of life your on. It's a brand new world(maybe new world order-just a suggestion) that whoever these people are that's fighting it's war against each one of these people. So the real question is who won the war in the end. The moment of this war, it's the moment to lie or tell the truth depending on which person you identify with in the beginning of it. Either way with each person it signals a moment to fight, so it's a fight that is meaningful(maybe spiritual-once again a suggestion) that is in each of us. rikishareeon June 12, 2016 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |
Sometimes I go whole days
listening bored, half asleep
I won't say anything
that's worth a thing to me
One day, suddenly, time
took a turn that once felt so brief
I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly
What begins as an unguarded
train of thoughts slowly can become
an addiction to the slumber
of disconnection and the resonance
of memory that no longer has a shape
but keeps you numb through
the hours till gone is another day
Be aware, my darling
these things I say I mean
are just traces of something
I long to feel again
I see our time expand
in the air almost forcibly,
spreading thinner till it dissolves completely | 06AGErQNQo09uQYU | 3530822107858745186 | This song is mesmerizing. This is about how apathy, anxiety and lethargy are so difficult to overcome in our day-to-day routines, and how looking back at months or years spent uninspired, tired and unproductive can be so sad as we've stopped making new memories and only look back at the old ones as they fade. "I long to feel again" - trying to wake up from apathy and move and experience things again. How familiar this feeling can be. ghettocherubsson November 16, 2008 Link1 Reply Log in to replyThere was an error. @ghettocherubssExactly. |

But once you really key into the song it sets a different mood, and always gets me thinking about the past. It kind of reminds me of times when you can be so happy that there is a hidden sadness because you know that it wont be like that forever. Overall it is such a beautiful song that I cant help but repeat over and over. oh.so.epic.on November 26, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |

"Sometimes I go whole dayslistening bored, half sleepI won't say anythingthat's worth a thing to me"is a pretty fair description of how you feel when you're in the midst of that sort of addiction. Real life feels unreal, you can barely focus or function, all you can think about is how much you NEED to escape back into your dream world. "One day, suddenly, timetook a turn that once felt so briefI blinked to see polite ghosts fading quicklyWhat begins as an unguardedtrain of thoughts slowly can becomean addiction to the slumberof disconnection and the resonanceof memory that no longer has a shapebut keeps you numb throughthe hours till gone is another day." How it all starts. A dream lingers in memory, maybe you write it down, maybe it just sticks in the back of your mind. You start wondering if maybe, just maybe, sleeping a little more wouldn't be such a bad thing - an unguarded train of thoughts that leads you slowly into an addiction where that need to retreat, to escape, becomes more and more overwhelming and you spend less and less time awake, until you're really just going through the motions of life because you're expected to, until you sleep away entire weekends and holidays, barely leaving your bedroom except for bathroom breaks and meals. "Be aware, my darlingthese things I say I meanare just traces of somethingI long to feel againI see our time expandin the air almost forcibly,spreading thinner till it dissolves completely." This come across almost like a warning to me not to abuse dreams to the point where you form an emotional dependence on them. The last few lines ring true especially for me - even in the aftermath, knowing how unhealthy your lifestyle was at that time, it's incredibly alluring to fall right back into it again, to miss all those hours of dreamtime stretched into days without a care in the world.

Great stuff. piersyon October 20, 2009 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. |
