Cake Lyrics

    ------ About the song Friend is a Four Letter Word performed by Cake

The only two possibile meanings are:

-the four letter word is fuck (disappointment by a bad friend, the end of a friendship)
-the four letter word is love (a relationship turned for one of the two in love)

Anyway, both the meanings are sad. Obvious! Sorry.

    ------ About the song The Distance performed by Cake

Always, ALWAYS loved this song. Then, just read about a girl that graduated from Harvard (and is now giving back to the community) after being homeless as a teen. Her mom died as drug addict, her dad was in a homeless shelter. She mentioned that this song gave her inspiration during the time that she was out on the street trying to figure out how to get an education. Gives it a whole new meaning and makes it even more awesome!

this song is the awesomest.see it's so good i have to make up word to describe this...this..master piece. the guys just saying the lyrics all normal like yet every word seems to SCREAM out AWESOMENESS. this song is like totally old but the classics are always the more intense songs out there. AHHHHHH the song just says so much but i'm still having trouble finding out what it means...for me.(my own definition) =9

    ------ About the song Nugget performed by Cake

Nugget is clearly a cake classic for all the reasons Ryan listed, and more which are too awesome for me to even comprehend, let alone try to explain to you. Nonetheless, Cake keeps on proving why everyone loves Cake.

    ------ About the song Friend is a Four Letter Word performed by Cake

"A four letter word" is a "poetical" way to say "an insult".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-letter_word

So basically John McCrea is saying that in that particular person's mouth, the word "friend" sounds like/has become an insult.

Hope I made that clear for everybody :-)
For the rest of the song, interprete it as you wish =)

    ------ About the song I Will Survive performed by Cake

    ------ About the song The Distance performed by Cake

The way I feel about this song..

I was in a long distance relationship, the girl lived 45 minutes away, I guess it isn't that far away, but still, a ways.

This girl had once longed for a boy she is still very much attached to. Even now. I would drive that 45 minutes across the prairie roads, just to see her and hold her, to be with her.

In some sections the roads are quite tight, especially during the winter time, where there is slush, and hellish drifts. I by no means have a top notch vehicle that can plow through such drifts.. it's a two bit vehicle. I've had some close calls with death, but I loved her so much..

I still do..

but her previous ex.. before I.. is planning to reunite with her..

So it leaves me out in the cold.. no trophy for me, sadly..

Love this song, I love Cake.

    ------ About the song Friend is a Four Letter Word performed by Cake

"Over" is the four letter word... when a lover says let's just be friends, it's over.. "end" is the only part of the word worth remembering, well maybe not... great song, I'm probably wrong, but i took a shot!

    ------ About the song Comfort Eagle performed by Cake

Love this song. It is my favorite of theirs. I just saw Cake in Portland and they opened with this song. The crowd just went wild. Awesome show. They always show you a good time and they have the best fans.
