1 | !!Swan Songs |
2 | * "Sell Your Soul" is written from the perspective of someone who feels as if everyone is against you in some way or another. |
3 | ** The Bridge can be considered nightmare fuel, as it basically describes the feeling of losing all of your hope and being cornered. |
4 | * "Young", especially the second verse. |
5 | -->"As we walk among these shadows, in these streets these fields of battle |
6 | -->Take it up we wear the medal, raise your hands with burning candles |
7 | -->Here us whisper in the dark, in the rain you see the spark |
8 | -->Feel the beating of our hearts, fleeting hope as we depart |
9 | -->All together walk alone against all we've ever known |
10 | -->All we ever really wanted was a place to call our home |
11 | -->But you take all we are, the innocence of our hearts |
12 | -->Made to kneel before the altar as you tear us apart!" |
13 | * "Black Dahlia" describes the aftermath of a traumatizing break up. J-Dog actually sounds like he's crying when he raps his verse. |
14 | -->"Pull up my sleeve and see the pattern of my CUUUUUUUUUTS!!!" |
15 | * "The Diary", which was written partially about Johnny's alcoholism. |
16 | * "Paradise Lost" is a dark song about questioning the existence of God, and wondering why the world is so cruel. |
17 | -->"Let it all burn! I will burn first! God I've tried, am I lost in your eyes? |
18 | -->Just let me burn! It's what I deserve! God I've lied am I lost in your eyes?!" |
19 | * "Circles" was written about a girlfriend Deuce had that died in an automobile accident. It has a somber tone and the lyrics don't help. |
20 | !!American Tragedy |
21 | * The album's title is inspired by the fact that many children grow up believing in certain ideals that they do not realize are unrealistic until they've reached adulthood. |
22 | * "I Don't Wanna Die" describes how horrifying death can be, to the point where the subject of the song kills someone else but soon [[spoiler:feels remorse]]. |
23 | * "Bullet", a deceptively cheerful tune about a man (or teenager) who has hit the DespairEventHorizon hard and is planning to [[DrivenToSuicide kill himself]]. |
24 | * "Pour Me". At first listen, you will likely mistake the song for a cheerful Owl-City-Style pop ballad, but if you pay attention to the lyrics, you will find that it is actually a [[LyricalDissonance lyrically dissonant]] ballad about a man struggling with an alcohol addiction. |
25 | -->"Life inside a bottle, '''all alone'''..." |
26 | !!Notes from the Underground |
27 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGNSzKzaidg "Medicine"]] is about someone who abuses drugs to point that they can't function without them and starts relating their dealer to being their "doctor". |
28 | -->"Oh, no, no I can't fight it, even when I hate it I still wanna like it |
29 | --> oh, no, no I can't hide it, I ain't got a dollar but I still try to buy it" |
30 | * The entirety of "Believe". |
31 | * "Outside" deserves a special mention. Danny sounds like he's breaking down in the chorus begging to be held, while Johnny sounds broken and angry. The lyrics can also be considered brutally honest. |
32 | -->"There's two types of people, you are weak or you are mean, yeah" |
33 | -->"What's another life time like mine? We all die a little sometimes, it's alright" |
34 | -->"Did you come to say your goodbyes to this life?" |
35 | -->"We all hurt a little sometimes. We're alright." |
36 | * ”Rain”. |
37 | -->”I don’t mind, no, I don’t mind, I don’t mind the rain. The simple things and subtleties, they always stay the same. I don’t mind, that I don’t mind, no, I don’t mind the rain. Like a widow’s heart, we fall apart then never fade away (fade away)” |
38 | -->”Fade away, as I fade away, away, away…” |
39 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIhGIEfzVDM "Lion"]] is about knowing that you can achieve more in life and be better than you currently are but also knowing that your simultaneously tied down by your insecurities or other responsibilities. |
40 | ** J 3 T also admitted he dedicated the song to his daughter, and so did Danny, to his daughter. |
41 | !!Day of the Dead |
42 | * ”Save Me.” |
43 | -->”Don’t even try to save me tonight, don’t even try to save me tonight, don’t even try to save me tonight. Cause I don’t know, no, I don’t know, but here I go. But here I go.” |
44 | !!V |
45 | * ”Broken Record.” |
46 | -->”Well I know I should be moving on, but I feel like I’m already gone. Now if somebody’d only save me from, this broken record that’s playing in my heart.” |
