Not able to do sucide | Reviewer: jordan | 4/3/08 The song is about life not sucide its some1 who dose not yet no his place and is not really bothered if he lives or dies that he is not alarmed or surprised while he walks through with there life.also he could be thinking of sucide but cant go along with ending the 1 precious life he or she has suicide | Reviewer: Romina | 4/2/08 I think that this song speaks about someone who is tired of his life and thinks about suicide: "a handshake of carbon monoxide" seems to be like the vein he´s gonna use is carbon monoxide. Regarding to " such a pretty house and such a pretty garden" I think that he means cementery. And "with no alarms and no surprises silent silent" is because that carbon monoxide kills you slowly, in Argentina some people calls it "the silent killer" because you cant´t even tell that you´re dying. that´s all.. bye! One of us | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/16/08 In my opinion he wants to change things and with "my final bellyache" tries to convince himself that he is capable of something radical (who knows maybe even suicide), a real change, but gives up as usual "such a pretty house..." saying to himself: why complain, could be worse... I think lyrics are about a guy that has been through this situation number of times before, just like all of us I guess. Will he just imagine that he could do smth if he wanted, or is he going to actually stand up and change something? Are we? I reckon he's One of us | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/16/08 In my opinion he is fed up, wants to change things and with "my final bellyache" tries to convince himself that he is capable of something radical (who knows maybe even suicide), a real change, but gives up as usual ("such a pretty house...") saying to himself: why complain, could be worse... I think lyrics are about a guy that has been through this situation number of times before, just like all of us I guess. Will he just imagine that he could do smth if he wanted, or is he going to actually stand up and change something one day? Are we? no surprises | Reviewer: eliza | 3/11/08 in my oppinion this song speaks about the "empty" life of someone who feels realy fed up from the routtine and the everyday life. the feelings the song is expressing is monotony, sadness and kind of disappointment for all the vacant promises("bring down the government"). its about somone who feels bored ("a job that slowly kills you"), tired and ..suffocated. he is pent in his normal, typical and "seeming-perfect" life.. Amazing. | Reviewer: Melisa | 2/28/08 This song moves me. It's really, really beautiful. I think it isn't about giving up on life...I think it's about choosing death as a new life, a quiet one. He is so tired of the life he's living, but he knows death is the only scape, it's not about ending your life, but starting a new one. Suicide | Reviewer: Johanna | 2/25/08 I personally think its about suicide..being sick and tired of daily life..breathing in CO like its a chore. A lot of people argued that this lyric: Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden. meant he suddenly became happy...i think thats a lie. I think its just another part of the mundane 'American dream' that he doesn't buy into. yeah, pretty houses and pretty gardens are supposed to be the epitome of success and happiness...but not for this dude. He just wants to be silent. My interpretation | Reviewer: Etienne | 2/23/08 I haven't read all the interpretations here, but didn't read one that's similar to mine so I'll post it here. It's about someone that realizes he has a crappy routine life and rejects how the government handles things. It's an existential and pessimist view of life as crap that has extended so much to the point that this person has "given up". That's why he prefers to just go on with that life, not protesting, not fighting for his rights, just a mediocre quiet life. He throws in the ironic sentence: "Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden." as in a stereotype of the perfect life but that's hollow inside. That's what he'll settle for instead of pursuing a change for the better because he's just tired of fighting and not seeing progress. positive | Reviewer: pete | 2/11/08 i think that at the start, he wants to kill himself, but during the instrumental part in the middle he notices the beautiful things in life and changes his mind and decides to live. so i see this as a happy song Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
