| | Sound Effects And Overdramatics Lyrics Artist(Band):The Used
When a m-m-m-minute turned into a mile And then I broke that grin, and I cut it out And you got all turned on by the taste of your sin When I mentioned blue, all you thought was colour When you mentioned drugs, all I thought was sober When your pants came off and I turned you over When you mentioned blue Kill Smile Cut it out for me this time Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while Keep the mask aligned Get it up in time There's a space between valleys And try catch a vibe Make a circle square A rectangle curve Use a smile as a noun and I think like a verb Run quick switch sides Spill the filled up canister And the room is shaking Now you're changing places And I switched my pace And my breathing races when you mention blue Kill Smile Cut it out for me this time Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while [This is not x6] Kill Smile Cut it out for me this time Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while Kill Smile Cut it out for me Cut it, cut it out Smile Kill Cut it out for me Cut it, cut it out We cut it out Kill Smile Cut it out for me this time Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while [This is not x6] Kill Smile Cut it out for me this time Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while Get down and stay awake Smile If you find some error in Sound Effects And Overdramatics Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to LiteVoid for submitting the lyrics. Review about Sound Effects And Overdramatics Plain and simple | Reviewer: drew | 10/26/09 the meaning of this song is taken from many of the coments already posted. It is a sum up of Berts sex life with his former (deceased) girlfriend. the color blue that is mentioned does refer to the blue in a positive pregnancy test. also the lyrics " make a circle square, a rectangle curve" is also referring to a certain type of pregnancy test that shows a blue circle when positive and a blue rectangle when negative. it is like he is trying to stretch the cirlce into a rectangle or a rectangle curved. "when I mentioned blue, all you thought was color", refers to the fact that when he tried to get his girlfriend off drugs because of her pregnancy she didnt care "all she saw was a color not a baby". this is proven by "when you mention drugs, all I thought was sober", she wanted drugs and he wanted her to be sober. here is the tricky part, when it refers to taking off the pants and turning you over when you mention blue. it means that he is changing ( like a pair of pants) and turning you over refers to a new leaf, turning over a new leaf when you mention blue (preganancy. Kill/ smile refers to the mixed emotions whether to be happy, sad or cut out the baby. (cut it out this time). the mask aligned means hiding the baby and the fact of pregnancy and drug use. when it talks about switching places, room racing breathing racing etc it refers to the confusion he felt and utter panic after finding out and how he is trying to deal with it. spill the filled up canister refers to her belly. her belly is the canister filled with the baby. spilling it refers to the cut it out reference. song and lyrics are amazing and speratic. hope this helps hmm.. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/26/09 So i have to agree with the sex and pregnancy meaning behind this song.. and just wanna point out: Keep the mask aligned (condom) Get it up in time (u know, IT.) There's a space between valleys (u know, the girl's IT.) And try catch a vibe (aka motion in the ocean) agree? abstract | Reviewer: Kquato | 7/12/09 Most of the songs written by The Used are abstract. that's what makes them so good! Who cares what he is singing about...Why do you like the song? What does it do for you? What does it mean to YOU? That is all that really matters. I am sure Bert has his own meanings to the song. Just like we all have our own.. Pregnancy | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/17/09 the best review ive seen for this song yet was definitely by Dirge a few reviews down... i had the same exact thought i was listening and i was like.. "this songs about sex," then Bert Says "...when you mentioned blue.." and i was like what does blue have to do with sex?? then the first thought that came to mind was a pregnancy test!!! and if you notice the mood is all calm and sweet sounding till "when you mentioned blue" and then the mood slams into a violent pissed off unstable chorus. meaning that they had sex, shes pregnant, and he's pissed off, unsure, and doesnt kno what to do. and i agree with Dirge about "make a circle square, a rectangle curve" meaning that its the impossible to stop whats already been done. this is an AMAZING song along with the band themselves!!!!!!! THE USED ROCKS! Who really cares? God. | Reviewer: David | 4/2/09 So I read a comment on like page 3 or 4 or something back and it was like " oh the used are my favourite band ever! but when i heard that this song was about butt sex i now dont like them and i have lost respect for them " yadda yadda. 1. It is called anal sex, not butt sex, not gay sex, anal sex. 2. (the more important one) If you were really a fan of the used, even if you were a bit homophobic, if you were a TRUE fan, you wouldnt be bothered by this. I mean, what the fuck? Its sexuality like. Im not gonna say hes gay straight or bi cause tbh they are my fave band but im more into the music then the people and i dont know his sexuality, but like, if hes gay hes gay, or whatever. Like people dont have a right to criticise people or disrespect them because they are more attracted to men. 3. BERT MCCRACKEN IS AN AMAZING GUY SO SHUT UP! 4. And also I HATE when people and all like oh it IS about this and it IS about that, the song is about what bert wrote it about, not what you comprehend from the lyrics, so everyone just fucking grow up a bit please. Im only 15 and I can see how stupid it is! But anyways. THE USED FTW ! =D (Y) Sound Effects and Over Dramatics <33 | Reviewer: Utah. | 1/3/09 This is probably my favorite song on this album, because it can be slow, then face, soft and loud, and it's just like a mixture of everything. And I see a bunch of people are arguing on what it's about, but what as Amy said it can be about a lot of things and whatever it means most to you. And personaly, I think it's a blend on what ALL of you are saying. I mean, the song is called Sound Effects and OVER DRAMATICS, so I just think it's a song about all the troubles with sex (male and female) and drugs, and trying to make the right desision. Just what I think, brilliant song. id have to agree with lucy! | Reviewer: Amy | 10/8/08 k so people sit here and take a great song and try to figure it out is it about drugs sex etc. does it really matter a great song is a great song maybe iz is about diffrent things but ur wasting ur time trying to over analyze it jst listen to the damn song and deal wit it feel the song and the lyrics it can mean wutevr u want it to b! Um..... | Reviewer: preston | 9/29/08 i'm not telling anyone that they're wrong but the song, "yesterday's feelings" are about his gf dying while being pregnant. of course that could have been the insperation for both. sound effects could be the angry "more negative" aspect of it. while yesterdy's feelings could be about how he thinks it's his fualt and it's more of a somber tone to it Baby | Reviewer: Dirge | 9/8/08 I know I'm going to get crusified about what I think about this song but I think you should just hear me out. When I heard this song, it didn't lead me to drugs or anal sex. It lead me to pregnancy. I saw blue as being the color of a positive pregnancy test. "Kill, smile Cut it out for me this time Kill, Smile I haven't seem him smile in a while" Anybody who's ever dealt with having to deal with there girlfriend being pregnant before your ready, makes you go insane with stress. "Run quick switch sides Spill the filled up canister And the room is shaking Now you're changing places And I switched my pace And my breathing races when you mention blue." The way this is sung is very fast pace and could represent a fast heart rate. Room is shaking could mean overbearing fear. When she brings up blue, he starts to panic again. To me, that means he hates to be reminded of her being pregnant. "Switch sides, Changing places" Could represent whether or not to keep the kid (whether it be through abortion, adoption, or abandoned). "Make a circled square, a rectangled curve" This could mean doing the impossible like taking back or stoping it from happening. Also, I was told that Berts pregnant gf died of overdose to help support my theory. Simply. | Reviewer: Lexi | 8/27/08 I think it's a great song. End of. Full stop. Cut. ect.... However, it while all you guys are arguing that it's about anal or about meth, what about it being about both? As in being in a relationship with a self destructive guy, drinking and taking meth, hence the references to blue, and 'all i thought was sober' and the sex not being the main part, but it does play a part in the relationship. And if you want to argue this with me, my email's there. <3xxx<3 Review By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Review the song Sound Effects And Overdramatics The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
