| Anyone else think that his voice sounds a lot like Peter Garrett in this song? When I first heard it on the radio I thought "Hadn't the Oils broken up?" Great song from a good bunch of perth boys. | |

| I think this song is about the war which is happening in the middle east and america and israle. "Black fingernails, red wine I wanna make you, all mine " black finger nails symbolises greed and evil and red wine is the blood shed people who wants everything to be thiers. "Lotta people, underground" states that people die for this or have already died. "You wanna get there You gotta go straight down" demonstrates that people who want to have everything will kill or will suicide to get there to be with god. "thier god". "There’s a culture, everywhere Smoke clouds, hang in the air So loud, cant hear you talk " Symbolises the war , hence smoke clouds from bombs, fire which ends up in the air , so loud that you cant hear people talking about god argument. "the argument over god continues (in this house) all of us stand and point our fingers (to the ground) all of us stand and point our fingers.... " This quote lyrics demonstrates the war continuing over centuries. "in this house" is the house of god. "to the ground" is to the people graves. And while the war is going on about religion, society does nothing except points and blame each others religion, country. "Red letter day, black heart Its gonna tear you, all apart So loud, cant hear you call " "red letter day " This demonstrates or symbolises the day the war has started. "black heart" is death and coldness between people. "You and I Gotta fall straight down (Woah Oh)" this symbolises the inocent people who has no choice but to die hence the word "Gotta fall" means people caught in the war zone has no choice but to die because all of this war on religion. This is my view of this song i think its pretty good. | |

| It seems to me that it's addressing the 'culture' of depression and numbness that is present among today's youth. Thriving in goth/emo/death nightclubs, drug scenes and parties, this approach to makes suicide a more accepted means of ending life. We're all going 'straight down'. 'The argument over God continues' - is there something after an end to the pain, or is there just a dark state of oblivion? The thing is so, though, if everyone is crying out about their pain, if everyone is depressed, people, if 'all of us stand and point our fingers' it's 'so loud, can't hear you call'. The teenage depression and suicide rate is 'gonna tear you (the future), all apart'. This song is urging people to fight against it: 'you can lie or take a walk downtown'. | |

| most overrated song... ever. eskimo joe are really cool and I don't understand how this song could become their biggest hit. To me, it's undeserving of that high level of attention. 1 2 Next | |
