jc90 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 yup, i edited my first post with the new info, should be the right ones now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walewein Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 wow that song is so political....best song of our timeYes, exactly my thoughts. It's still a little early for an interpretation, but I think the combination of a classic love song and a sociocritical, anti war hymn works beautifully. Shame the melody is really crap though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverspira Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 This song is a real return to form for Chris, lyrics wise. I don't think a return is the correct word, as I don't think his lyrics has ever been this sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzling Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 jc90 - seems close to perfect except the last line here: bury me in honor when i'm dead and hit the ground a love back home unfolds <------- the words I posed will unfold ?

spike Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 The bit were he's meant to say "Bury me in honor" I hear "Bury me in armor", I like the later better for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 ohhh I think I got the stanza the starts with bury me a tad wrong Bury me in armor/honor When I'm dead and hit the ground a ??? poem unfolds is it armor or honor? edit: i think I can conclude that it's armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 It sounds like armor Might I just add, I'd say this is the best written song, lyrically to be released this year so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 would "a love wrapped poem unfolds" make sense at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Here's my take on a few lines... priests clutched onto bibles I rode out to fit their rifles and the cross was held aloft bury me in armor when i'm dead and hit the ground I love wrapped poem that unfolds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 would "a love wrapped poem unfolds" make sense at all? Yeah, that sounds right as well, I'll change my last post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluexylophone Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 i hear "my love's like _____s that unfold" could be poem, but i'm not sure. it sounds like it definitely starts with a 'p' and i'm positive i hear a plural 's' in there. 'my love is like ____' makes sense as incomplete simile as well i just don't know what that 'p' word is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldpatrix Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I heard so: Was a long and dark December From the rooftops i remember There was snow White snow Clearly i remember From the windows they were watching While we froze down below When the future's architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie low If you love me Won't you let me know? Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And the fog Became God Clutch on to their bibles Hollowed out fit their rifles And the cross was held aloft Bury me in honor When i'm dead and hit the ground A love back home unfolds If you love me Won't you let me know? I don't want to be a soldier With the captain of some sinking ship With snow, far below So if you love me Why'd you let me go? I took my love down to violet hill There we sat in snow All that time she was silent still So if you love me Won't you let me know? If you love me, Won't you let me know?

cephaus Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 it's 'priests clutch on to bibles, hollowed out to fit their rifles' EDIT: Haha, coldpatrix beat me to it =P :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluexylophone Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 i'm confident it's "my love's like ____ that _____" but i'm really stumped on those two words. the 's' doesn't sound like an 's' on second thought. and unfold sounds like there's a 'f' in there. haha. i've no idea. this is difficult for sure. haha.
