haha i know but atleast we're having some sort of discussion in this thread :lol:
For me it doesn't really matter who the song is actually about but that the song has a personal message for each and every individual listening to the song....every has some one in their who they want to help but sadly that person doesn't what help...it can be hard to connect with that person and get to listen to you no matter how hard you try....anyone can relate to this song even the mean is indeed very deep...
True that. And thats why i love them so much (whoa, it sounds like im preaching- for a lack of a better word- about some band LOL.
OH okay....I can understand if he had breathing problems...I know he managed to go extremely high in Are You Sad....He has amazing range vocally...you don't hear alot of guys who can hit those high notes and get it right....but Raine managed to do that...
He does. he likes to call his voice "acrobatic".. because I believe it was before their 3rd cd that he said he wanted to be more acrobatic with his voice like a lot of female singers so he was concentrating on improving his range.
Its funny I JUST listened to THAT song BEFORE I came here but yes I've heard a couple of times....wow....ahaha...I can understand why the song lyrically is funny/humerous and I kinda get why Raine made it funny and humourous....I think no matter how many times I listen to "Big Dumb Rocket" I will never get the real meaning...because I just burst out laughing as soon as it starts..I think you need to be very serious to listen to that song...and understand it fully and relate to it...for some reason I can't relate to it but I'm sure there are people who can....
That is funny! It is hard to relate too but I took the song under its own meaning so it could be relatable. Its hard to relate to the meaning because well, not everyone has a gun and plays tricks on their friends and having the trick with the gun go slightly bad.
I find the lyrics humours too just because i can picture raine actually doing that then being like "Oh Sh*T"...
2. OLP - Automatic Flowers (<--its weird but I kinda get the meaning behind this song even though I had to listen to it a few times before any of it made any sense)
The meaning for automatic flowers is weird. the album its on most of the songs have weird meanings something that has happened to raine or something that inspired him.
it's about a woman that lives alone in an apartment and all she has left is this pop-up book. the history of "sara" - if that is her name in real - isn't given, only hinted at by the line "crying, crying, she couldn't afford the view". the automatic flowers isn't a play on words, it's a description of the pop-up book's contents, and this pop-up book is the only thing that she has that's close to her, and it won't do to be happy, thus, "these automatic flowers won't do"...
Also Raine has at other times mentioned that there is NO meaning to the song what-so-ever no matter how hard you look at it, its just something that inspired him to see a girl so empty and broken, he didn't know her so he most likely made all of this stuff up so we could make up what its about too. so basically you can take Raines first meaning of the song - more like a story.. or you can make up your own.
9. OLP - One Man Army (So whats this song about?! I love it! videos a bit weird tho lol
)
One Man Army is about the struggle for individuality. It's about finding the courage to metaphorically strip naked and set fire to all your inhibitions. It's about cleansing yourself of all the people and things that suffocate your individuality.
^^ that's a Direct quote from Raine, his wording is a lot better and creative then mine!
And you were right...whats so great about OLP is each song is different...each song has its own message its own voice and that what I love about OLP...
Ditto. I can't wait for their next cd... see what they have come up with then! Late 2008 or early 2009.... Last time they said that it took them 3 years. HAHAH so far its been a couple years. well plus they took time off, they all have side projects... so basically with that in mind its only been just over a year.... They used to come out with cd's once a year, now its like you have to wait almost a decade. ( i know i just over exaggurated LOL)
