Taking Back Sunday Lyrics

    ------ About the song Spin performed by Taking Back Sunday

I fail to see how everybody seems to think that there is any kind of positive message in this song. Unless i'm interpreting it wrong, it's a song about his partner becoming heavily depressed after aborting his child, and in response he lies and cheats her which she takes lying down, then she leaves, comes back out of love, and he won't have her? I've seen tbs many times live, love them to bits, but this song shows how much or a pig he really is. Please someone disagree with me?

    ------ About the song There's No "I" In Team performed by Taking Back Sunday

I'm not sure if it's true that he cheated. Neither artist likes to talk about this situation, and a lot of Your Favorite Weapon is about a break-up, and it seems to be about something different than infidelity.

    ------ About the song You're So Last Summer performed by Taking Back Sunday

Taking Back Sunday was my life in grade 7. <3
Their songs helped me through alot.
& Meant a lot. Haven't heard them in years now.
In 12th grade as of 2011-2012. :P
Yet these songs bring back so many memories.. <3
"Maybe I should hate you for this.."

    ------ About the song Spin performed by Taking Back Sunday

i'm confused that on a lyrics site, people are concerned about the technique and not the message they are trying to convey. this is pretty obviously an angry song and so they abandon good technique as a manner of expressing the reckless abandon that you get when you're in a fight with someone (i.e. you don't always place together your words right, you yell, etc.) look at cute without the e, miami, new american classic, slowdance on the inside and you're so last summer and tell me that adam doesn't have a good voice...

    ------ About the song My Blue Heaven performed by Taking Back Sunday

The interpretation of this one seems pretty obvious to me-- I blame no one having nailed it to the misspelling of one word: It's not "Adulteress", as in referring to a woman, but "adulterous" as in referring to the act of cheating.

Basically you have two people, "twisting and colliding" into each other in their torrid relationship. It's an out-of-control "spin cycle" because of the "adulterous condition" of it. ie. She's married or with someone else but cheating with him. They're having an affair.

"It's all to familiar" and "happens all the time" because cheating is the oldest sin in the book and is nothing new. But when you put it all together, when the "cards begin to stack up" it causes heartache.

Their relationship can never be what they wanted. And despite all the pieces "that avoid an awful crime" he can't deny her. They know its wrong but can't stay away from each other.

The "dull heat" rising from the sheets refers to him laying in bed alone after one of their trysts. He's a "patient boy" waiting for her to come back but "a jealous man" because he knows she's with her boyfriend/husband. Which is why its "double standardized"-- he IS the other man so has no excuse for being jealous, but is anyway. He knows its hypocritical.

The rest of the song is just more of him questioning and grappling with something that is so wrong but makes him feel so "safe" when he's with her.

This song is truly heart breaking and probably rings true to anyone who knows what its like to be in love with someone in an "adulterous condition"

    ------ About the song Great Romances Of The 20th Century performed by Taking Back Sunday

I think this is a powerful ex-girlfriend song. It is almost identical to what I said to my ex when I finally tried to get her back and she laughed in my face. Fantastic lyrics, beautifully put together music, love TBS!

    ------ About the song MakeDamnSure performed by Taking Back Sunday

First: Emo, as Pete Wentz perfectly put it, "ain't a scene, its a goddamn arms race". It isn't a genre, its the state of being emotional. So yes, lyric-wise, Taking back sunday is very "emo" However, their music as a whole is not. Nothing is. Taking back sunday is taking back sunday. Stop trying to put a label on everything. It ruins the beauty.

    ------ About the song You Know How I Do performed by Taking Back Sunday

Taking Back Sunday is not better without John Nolan.
It's a fact.
Tell All Your Friends is just way, way too good.

But, you're right that they're still good without John.
Just about every song off of Where You Want To Be is good, especially I Am Fred Astaire, and especially, especailly One-Eighty By Summer which is one of TBS' best songs to date. Louder Now was also good, as well as New Again, although New Again was lacking. Their new album, Taking Back Sunday, has John back in on vocals and guitar, and they sound like they should again.

So shut up.
