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"...
Yep I get this very vivid image of Raine doing that too...This slow motion image of him sneaking on his friend with the gun as a joke but then the joke backfires and suddenly the realistion of what just happened hits him...but it STILL it makes me laugh...I know I shouldn't and its a serious issue...but the song is humerous so...
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.
And thats what so great, that he (Raine) doesn't give the songs a specific meaning and like you said lets the listeners intrepret the song how they want to...it gives the song that personal feel....the meaning of the song it what you want it to be...
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!
hahaha ofcourse lol, I LOVE that song....Its so good!...very down to earth and realistic....
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)
