Killer Rabbit Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Why is it a brilliant song? Other than some vocal effects and its structure, it's basically a worrying pointer towards Guiding Light. It's brilliant because it's all about Death. The song's narrator is heartbroken because his loved one is dying (or already dead), and unlike in the fairy tales, a kiss won't bring the lover back to them. Then it goes on to say that there is nothing after death. That there is no forgiveness for whatever wrongs you do in life and that there is no Heaven where you spend eternity happily ever after. The music arrangement is beautiful by itself, but coupled with the lyrics, the song is a brilliant contemplation on mortality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Sammy! Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 First you tell me to go kill myself, then you call me a wanker. You stay classy, whoever the fuck you are. At first I was going to say go fuck yourself, but you strike me as the kind of person that would enjoy it. Hey, both of you cut it out, particularly you, Death_of_Me.

RayFan9876 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 We'll both whip out our banhammers and play whack-a-troll If you can whack a troll then they could pack the hole from whence the pack of trolls came out for you to whack them whole in the back of the soul leaving you lacking a troll to slap a goal into the stacks of coal called banishment. Then all lived in civility, Even though some may not agree, We still will speak negatively, Of Origin of Symmetry. For when He calls "open minded," We can be sure in our hearts that we used to be so free, To speak proudly from out hearts negatively, Of Origin of Symmetry. Not that I'm implying anything's wrong with moderation and Origin of Symmetry.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer Rabbit Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hey, both of you cut it out, particularly you, Death_of_Me. Because we're arguing over the merits of a song that's not even on the album in question? Alright, I'll let it go. Back to Banter for me...

Don'tPostThePear Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Whoa, calm down matey, cut it with the provocation . I geuninely think what i said is the reason why Matt can't really relate to their older material. He is living the life of the stars nowadays but back then (showbiz/oos days) he was just a one in a million young guy with a lot of depressing thoughts like a lot of us.

Clunge Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 ...because of 'gay falsetto shouts' and 'shitty emo lyrics'? - Both of which you know full well aren't true or applicable or are, at least, grossly exaggerated. Please just keep it civil . And we all know that Matt's never been the greatest of lyricists. I mean, someone who uses the word 'soul' in more than half the songs on a certain album is evidently lacking a spark of genius . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he feels as though he has to have at least a couple references to that word in every album. Like some sort of quota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis III Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 It really doesn't flow that well at all. Great bunch of songs but it's not often that I listen to it in its entirety. The lyrics are often a tad pretentious and maybe slightly too angsty to be truly enjoyable unless I'm in the right mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry_Juice Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Probably been said, either here or elsewhere, but it's not very coherent as an album. Not that I require my albums to have some theme-of-the-day... but probably because it has so many diverse bright moments, it feels like a bunch of good songs from different albums hastily stuck together. EDIT: Oh, it has been said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sventington Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 the only negative beyond feeling good is that IT SET THE BAR TOO HIGH for future albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova14 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 the only negative beyond feeling good is that IT SET THE BAR TOO HIGH for future albums. This. That's why I hope their 6th album is almost or equally as good as Oos. Yes, I will keep dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
