Streetlight Manifesto Lyrics

    ------ About the song One Foot On The Gas, One Foot In The Grave performed by Streetlight Manifesto

This is not the Hunger Games. This song came out before even the Hunger Games book! So if anything the Hunger Games is like this song, not the other way around. In my opinion, this song is not even comparable. I'd rather listen to this song than watch the Hunger Games

    ------ About the song Giving Up, Giving In performed by Streetlight Manifesto

lol!
This is ska. You're dumb.
Marching and Jazz style brass over punk lyrics guitar and drums.
That's pretty ska.

Also ska doesn't have to have punk influences.
Learn music history before preaching it.

    ------ About the song A Better Place, A Better Time performed by Streetlight Manifesto

""I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun, but I hope so bad that you bathe and hunt." I always used to think he said 'in harm." but what is and hunt supposed to mean. To pursue? I don't get it.."

Well, he draws her a bath and loads her gun. Her intention is probably to commit suicide, but he doesn't want her to, instead hoping she'll use the bath to bathe, and use the loaded gun to go hunting instead of killing herself. I've never been able to quite make out the lyric in the song itself, but now that I've read it it makes much more sense than "in harm" or "and hum", which are the things I used to hear!

    ------ About the song Kristina She Don't Know I Exist performed by Streetlight Manifesto

so in the summer there was this girl who I really liked
she likes my music and she is beautifull, then she moved to another city and I only see her about 1 time every 2 months and I hate it
and then when I finally got my shit together and tried to ask if she liked me (in a subtle way so not very clear)and I though she meant she liked me back but then about a week later she had a boyfriend
so that was pretty fucked up and I still cant get over her
she won't know what she is missing

    ------ About the song On & On & On performed by Streetlight Manifesto

Thomas, the lead singer, wrote all of these songs himself, and he hated the way they sounded with Catch 22. He left them and created his own band, Streetlight Manifesto, and rerecorded them. So really if anyone is covering these songs anymore, it's Catch, not Streetlight

    ------ About the song Down, Down, Down To Mephisto's Cafe performed by Streetlight Manifesto

This song to me just seems like an anthem for agnosticism. He even refutes atheism early on by saying he can't buy the nonsense that everything's for nothing. To me the line "we were never meant to fly" means we are not supposed to know the ultimate secrets of life or "god(s)". The man with kindness in his heart said you never have to choose a religion(or nonreligion) just know your wrong from you right. But then they tore him apart because in this world today people have the mentality of "you're either with us, or against us". The line "no matter what we do we'll be wrong" along with the chorus basically implies that no matter what, you are always going to be going to "hell" in somebody's eyes. So just be a good person on your own terms without needing a religion to base your morality on. But hey, i'm just a bit of a cynic who has taken a few few basic philosophy classes. It's all open to interpretation

    ------ About the song Giving Up, Giving In performed by Streetlight Manifesto

Have u actually listened to streetlight? i mean seriously... theyre not even technically a ska band because of how kalnoky writes the music and lyrics... the punk thing only kicks in a few songs NOT INCLUDING point/counter-point or everything WENT numb. Supernothing is one tho... the music is fast... duh... but theres a BIG difference between ska and punk... punk is really fast, as uve seen with gimp, and ska is just basically a rock band with repitiveness and a horn section, such as sublime or catch 22... combining the two gives u streetlight... which is technically neither... it can be best described as a ska-punk band tho due to the lyrics and the punk-type influences in his songs...

JESUS CHRIST!!! 6 pages of comments that all say the same thing! There are one or two that go against the grain by being blatantly idiotic, and EVERYONE has to say something? Shut the fuck up. The guy below me knows what he's talking about, because he actually did some research, but by GOD some people need to quit the redundancy!
