(Clearly a gun comment but metaphorically - and literally - this is about his genitals and what he wants done) Loaded - ready for sex - God Complex - because I will tell you who you are - correct your thinking - you are my gay lover and not straight at all) What makes this such a clever line is the addition of loaded because he carries the metaphor over in the next few lines. These are the people who correct your every comment with "Well actually, it is not what you say but this." But it also can spread out to any walk of life. A God complex is a term used in the IT industry about computer nerds who think they know everything. (This is interesting and a clever use of symbolism. Here it is a metaphor meaning I'll be your number one partner as our relationship heads up - gets stronger) A song with a bullet is the arrowhead next to the title indicating if the song on the top 100 chart is going up or down. A number one is the number one song on the list. (This line comes from the Top 100 song list. Going down swinging means we are going to make a mess of this - or the singer is going to fight the break-up) (Sugar here is a pet name and not indicating the sex of the one called sugar. ( going down in an earlier round means our affair is short lived) Sleeping for the wrong team means we both are pretending to be who we are not, which is hetrosexuals) (I think the sleeping in is a lyrical affect to make the lines rhythm come out right. (These two lines have reversed verbs - probably more for the theatrics of lyrics than anything important - they mean break my heart and I will drop your name to everyone that we had sex) (But this is more important to me than you, so I will trivialize this by making you nothing more than a line in a song I wrote) (You're just experimenting and I am one of many that has bedded you - or been bedded by you) A mausoleum is in a graveyard and not a high traffic area) (They are experimenting with their sexuality and one can assume here that they are doing so in places where they cannot be discovered as gay curious. The who I am this week indicates the lie he is portraying to stay close to the other) (These three lines indicate the gay boy is trying to both impress his would be lover, yet still is trying to hide his desires since he isn't certain. One is evidently gay and coming onto - in a subtle way - another boy who may or may not be gay.) This song is not about a boy and a girl, but a boy and another boy. (This question holds the key to the song. My InterpretationAm I more than you bargained for yet?
She thinks she's all that and he'd do anything to be with her again. You're got a God complex and keep aiming it at us. I'm the number one thing in your life because you won't let it go. We had our time, our relationship ended early, but we're still taking swings at each other. You've told people the band members are all lazy and don't do anything all day. You're talking crap about us, trying to ruin our reputation. Guess what, you're nothing but a line in my song. You tell people that I don't mean anything to you.
The grass is probably tall and uncut, just the kind of place where you'd find a snake. The grounds of a mausoleum are rarely well cared for. You've told people I lied to you, telling you anything you wanted to hear just because I felt like it. You started this battle but I'm going to raise it to a higher level. Using that premise, I can see how all the lyrics fit. General CommentSomeone on one of the first few pages (I haven't read them all) said this was about an ex-girlfriend who told people that every song they wrote was about her. I'll be your number one with a bullet (take aim at myself) We're going down, down in an earlier round (take aim at myself)Īnd sugar, we're going down swinging (take back what you said) Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him? Oh, don't mind me, I'm watching you two from the closet We're going down, down in an earlier roundĪ loaded God complex, cock it and pull it We're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team (Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
I met him one day in the green pastures of Harvard University.I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear It's apparent that he's fingering something - most logically the 7th fret with the thumb - but the b rarely sounds, and at times he just plays an on the open 6th string. Especially the /b - it is generally so blurred
He doesn't always get the descent ("I'll do anything.") right - sometimes it seems he just sends theĪway to some bass string (sometimes both the and the ). Chords (The is played with a hammer-on from the open 6th string):
