Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture John Professional	#1 by John Payne at Mar 9, 1972 at 10:13 PM EST
	I love the beginning of this song. "Your face is so contagious, it wears announcements, it leaves me breathless, I won't forget this."

No Picture bigl Wanna Be	#2 by bigl shattuck at Sep 8, 1973 at 11:09 PM EST
	I think this song is more vain, more personal. The beginning maps out a crime scene where the criminals take defense inside a building as their opponents wait outside. The only form of communication between the two is via written letters. It's notable that writting letters is physically non-violent. The crime scene is revealed as a metaphor in the second "stanza". The actual situation is one of the narrator and a significant other. The narrator takes harsh verbal abuse and the "walls" are a type of emotional defense that he has taken up. The point that stands is that the narrator didn't just build these walls to keep himself from the verbal abuse; the walls are like boudries that keep his relationship with this other person non-violent, such as the criminals are not physically violent in writing the letters. But it is also very important to know that these words are detramental and have much influence over the narrator. This is shown by the wripping of the pages and the breaking nuckles. So, the narrator is so effected by this influence that he hurts himself in fits of anger. As he "locks the doors from the inside" he locks himself in a place where he physically hurts himself..... To sum up that part: a guys "girlfriend" (or friend or whoever) yells at him (or hurts him in some non-violent way) and instead of reacting to his friend he gets angry and takes it out on himself. (It's kinda like when you get so mad that you punch walls or some other inanimate object.) The last paragraph basically identifies the fact that there is hope and the narrator does feel very connected to this person that causes him pain. He dreams of the day when things will be better, but at the same time he respects his situation: "this place, these walls, mean everything to me."

No Picture Austin Rhythm Player	#4 by Austin at Mar 31, 1994 at 7:05 AM EST
	i think he is talking about a place that holds so many memories that are cold to him now. memories of a past relationship. the relationship has affected him deeply and permanently. he wants it back, but leaves it up to the other person to come back if she wants him. i think it is beautiful...powerful...

No Picture XerXes Wanna Be	#5 by XerXes Swanson at Oct 28, 1994 at 2:58 PM EST
	this was the first emery song i heard and it turned me into a fan. i had read earlier that day that the used didn't want to make another screamo record. i was so sad. than i d/l this song and wala. i got what i wanted.

No Picture Tiago Wanna Be	#6 by Tiago Moreira at May 9, 1997 at 12:09 AM EST
	''i've built these walls come get to me, come get to me.'' sounds like me . we as humans build walls we hope others will break through to . i always did have an uncertainty of if ever im loved or not . if im worth loving or worth anything enough to love and give all that a person needs . thats all personal stuff but this song is truely beautiful and honest .

No Picture luke Wanna Be	#7 by luke hastings at Feb 14, 2005 at 6:15 AM EST
	This song is so amazing. The first time I heard it, I fell in love with it. The band is full of really nice guys who deserve nothing but the best. I couldn't make it to one of their shows and they wrote me a note saying that they missed having me there. They are awesome!

No Picture Sir Badass	#8 by Sir Steel at Aug 21, 2006 at 11:06 AM EST
	I think this song is about being trapped...or something. goes off to think
