song lyrics meaning/discussion thread
« on: February 05, 2011, 09:24:58 PM »
Anyway so someone will post a song that they dont know the meaning of (lyric wise, almost always), and we can discuss it and what not. Of course there
is rarely ever an actual set meaning but you can get atleast a likely meaning usually.

Anyway to start off how about Under A Glass Moon.

I personally dont have any idea it is very abstract.

Yeah, there are just bits and pieces of it that you can hold onto.

I remember hearing that JP wrote/thought up Under a Glass Moon while he was looking up at a streetlight in the rain. 

He was probably high, too.

yeah I can see how that can be. such as lines like

chase the water racing from the sky

nervous flashlights scan my dreams

lyquid shadows silence their screams

I smile at the moon chasing water from the sky

I argue with the clouds stealing beauty from my eyes

That could very well be, but the "argue with the clouds / stealing beauty from my eyes" line wouldn't make too much sense, as clouds can't really block a streetlight.

I mean, if Mike was doing cocaine, JP has at least smoked weed before.  Myung probably has too, but chooses to get high around swimming pools because all he writes about is water  :P

I heard somewhere else that UaGM is about JP proposing to his wife, but I don't know about that.

Someone on here once said it was religious.
The streetlight thing makes sense.
The proposal does not, though.
