He’s the ethereal voice, songwriting powerhouse and full-contact keyboardist behind Something Corporate, the piano-rock quintet praised by one critic for its “combination of intelligent lyrics, infectious melodies and killer piano.” Now Andrew McMahon is taking something of a spring break from the band with which he’s practically lived for the last four years in order to offer up an angst-flavored side project. In the guise of Jack’s Mannequin comes Everything in Transit (release date: 8/23/05 on Maverick Records), a highly personal theme album by McMahon and collaborators. It’s clear that, like his longtime band, McMahon’s latest venture defies an easy pigeonhole. With Something Corporate on break, McMahon looked to bring the best of his songs together into a More... (Submit New Jack's Mannequin Lyrics) (Submit New Jack's Mannequin Lyrics) Review about Jack's Mannequin First Listened to this song on the Airplane | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bruised performed by Jack's Mannequin For the guy/girl who said beat this!! My relation to the Song, I met my Girlfriend/fiance when I was 5 living in Edmonton, and definatley had a crush on her. She moved away after a year to Kitchener Ontario. We wrote for a few years. Back in Edmonton in the day we had a mock Wedding. at 37 we somehow found our way Back to each other. I live in Calgary Alberta her in Waterloo Ontario. 32 years after not seeing each other we are Madly in Love with each other. I Listened to this song on my Ipod on a flight home from Visiting her for a week last year, Already feeling Anxious, This Song struck more anxiety and Panic . I was hospitalized for a week to bring the adrenal rush down. Although we still make it out to see each other every couple months (more so in the Summer) This song always Haunts me when I leave.. Review | Reviewer: Jeremy ------ About the song La La Lie performed by Jack's Mannequin I can put a personal meaning on this song. I just got out of a bad relationship, but I still love my ex more than anything. In this song it is clear that this relationship is over (in the essence that he has stopped writing her songs and books), but he knows that he cannot hide/contain his love for her. Even though he looks to his friends (the spaceman) to help him, he knows that he cannot contain his love, and ultimately will go back to his girl. At least that is my interpretation :) "have you ever been alone in a crowded room" | Reviewer: m ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin So Andrew has said once that this was kind of like the sequel to Something Corporate's "She Paints Me Blue." He was renting out this tiny room and all that was there to keep it lit at night was this crappy blue lightbulb. He shared some memories with his girlfriend and now wife there. My interpretation it is that when you're with someone that you love, you can be with tons of people and only notice him, and how it can engulf everything in your life. kool as poop!!!! :) | Reviewer: destiny kendall ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin this is an awesome awesome awseome song!!!!!! i luv it... omg... i cant even tell you how much it describes my life... this song is kool... whoa... i just jizzed in my pants alittle... long story short... this song is as kool as poop!!!!! :) Loneliness | Reviewer: music ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin I think that its about someone who put under pressure all the time and all this pressure is causing the person to break down and hes saying what did you expect bc of what the pressure he is dealing with and the ambulence is a metaphor for someone to save him/her then he goes on to try to explain how he feels (always alone) even with a room full of people and even if those people are saying that they are there for him the water is a symbol for everything building up and how hes trying to keep from letting his issues get the best of him so he trys to swim and he cant think because of all the things building up and they want him to give up but he wont slow down Rawwrrrr. | Reviewer: Amanda ------ About artist/band Jack's Mannequin I love Jack's Mannequin. (= I just saw them and they were totally amazing. I honestly don't think that Andrew could write a song that I didn't like. And him playing the piano.. especially with his feet.. is such a site to see. I love how he can take pain, love, and pretty much any emotion and make it sound beautiful. He's so strong and inspirational. Everybody should listen to JM and SoCo. <3 meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin Mess with fate and the World will be destroyed, in this case by a flood. Seems like the narrator is being called to his fate and someone else is telling him to defy fate for their sake because they need him. He says to slow down so he can enjoy the World while he's still here, and this other person can realize the World is something to enjoy when he's not around anymore. Then it looks like this other person has either successfully convinced him to defy fate, or that he has accepted his fate. In the fist instance, the world is being destroyed by a flood because of his defiance and fate is giving him reminders of what he is supposed to be doing. But he would rather swim and defy fate for this person and let the rest of the world drown. In the second instance, he accepts his fate and a flood swallows him and ushers him to the Heavens, apparently. This other person refuses to accept this and continues to fight for him. And when the flood cut off the last of his power, it was just him and this other person. How could you give up? If you've ever been alone, you'll know. Dark Blue is either something too powerful, or too beautiful to resist. Apocolyse | Reviewer: Jamie V W ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin I think a flood is taking over the world and these two lovers are just trying to enjoy their last moments on earth, and with each other ie. "slow down". "the planets in a row" indicates to me, a type of supernatural thing happening in the song. i dunno, the meaning for this song probably isn't as scientific as how i'm interpreting it, but ah well! :DD Yet again. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Rescued performed by Jack's Mannequin I think "Leks" is pretty much spot-on. I know, I know, it means different things and sends different messages for everyone, and that is perfectly fine. That's the beauty of music and lyrics- not everyone defines them the same way. But anyways, I personally don't think it's about his leukemia or death or Heaven. It's about the dysfunctional relationship of his past and how he really does still love and miss this girl, even though she might be out of his life, and although she might have had negative effect on his actions, his soul is changed for the better. It's a sad song, but it always helps me when I'm down. Yes! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Resolution performed by Jack's Mannequin I think the review before me was dead-on about his illness. It's not necessarily the story of his laukemia, but how he's healing emotionally and learning to move past it. It's an empowering song that gives strength to realize that you can't control everything. He's strong, and a very talented artist. All-Time Favorite | Reviewer: KaoriCreator ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin This is my all-time favorite song. No matter what, I just never get tired of it. I wish Jack's Mannequin were a bit more known, too. It's a pity whenever I talk about them barely anyone knows who they are, not even this song. its more about "fate" rather than just a love song | Reviewer: julia ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin the idea of fate ties into this song more powerful than the theme of love, its something that if its meant to be, something will happen and the couple will be together. however, if something is not meant to be, the person in this song is fighting it (we were boxing the stars). but nevertheless, the guy is still in love with the girl and its something he wants to hold on to. for me, the beginning indicates that fate has revealed to the couple that they are not meant to be together, (iI'll wait for the ambulance to come, Pick us up off the floor, What did you possibly expect under this condition) the condition of the breakup, and both are in bad condition, but they turn to each other for comfort and healing. however, he knows that he will always be there for her and she will always be in his heart with "Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you". anyway, thats just how i interpreted the lyrics. A flood? | Reviewer: littlekitsune1 ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin When I hear this song, I always think of it being about an actual flood. Then two friends or lovers having to cope, and learning that they still have each other. I don't know, just thought I'd put my two cents out there. .... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bruised performed by Jack's Mannequin this is really relateable to me...but I don't have a long distance relationship. I recently broke up with my long time boyfriend, who I planned on marrying, because he suffers from depression and needs to take time on himself and fixing his problems. it was the hardest decision I ever had to make in my entire life. it may help him in the long run, but I really do find myself counting the minutes he is not a part of my life. Your own interpretations. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bruised performed by Jack's Mannequin the great thing about music is that no matter what the lyrics were intended to mean.. to each individual person it can mean something else. i've always felt as though "Brusied" greatly applied to me, but i never understood why. my brother unexpectedly passed away this past halloween. and after knowing and loving this song for years, the true meaning (as it would apply to me) finally clicked. with my brothers death, a huge part of me died as well. i'm not the same person, the girl that i was before this incident has fled the scene and she's never coming back. "Bruised" tells the story of my journey through loss, and wanting my old life back, the old me. but that's never going to happen and i'm going to be damaged, bruised- for the rest of my life. awesome | Reviewer: anonymous ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin this song is too great, it is the only song i can put on repeat and listen to it forever without getting ennoyed Jacks mannequin is an amazing band but i can never understand what their song means plus i don't get what part about this song makes evryone want to cry Please explain inspirational<3 | Reviewer: em.ilie. ------ About the song The Resolution performed by Jack's Mannequin to me, this song is about andrew's lukemia, the fact he survived it, him realizing just how important life is and also, to not give up. personally, this song has made me realise how important it is to live life to the fullest and everytime i hear it, it makes me so happy and appreciate live so much more. he is such an inspiration and an amazing singer/songwriter. <3 i agree with jimmy | Reviewer: justin norman ------ About the song Kill The Messenger performed by Jack's Mannequin about andrew mcmahon having better songs in something corporate. i just bought their album north, and i recomend it for anyone who loves jacks mannequin, especially teenagers. im 15, and i can relate to SCs lyrics much more. Me and The Moon by Something Corporate is outstanding, as well as Ruthless and As You Sleep. Cell Phone | Reviewer: Caroline ------ About the song Cell Phone performed by Jack's Mannequin I stumbled upon this song a couple of months ago, and have fallen in love with it. It is so sad, and yet so depressingly beautiful. I could listen to it for hours and contemplate it's meaning. I just love it. That's all I can really say for sure about it. reply to "meaning" | Reviewer: Morgan ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin Andy wasn't diagnosed with cancer until after Everything in Transit was written, so the song is most definitely not about that, though he does allude to being diagnosed with a disease throughout the cd, he had no idea at the time that he had cancer.
