Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Emoshi Wanna Be	#1 by Emoshi RTF at Apr 14, 2006 at 2:10 AM EST
	actually this song is about driving in fear and all the close calls they have while driving in their van in the snow.

No Picture Damien Wanna Be	#2 by Damien Clark at Sep 2, 2006 at 7:47 PM EST
	This is probably my favorite song on the CD...it's just great all around. I agree with pla7 about the fear of vans. Someone close to them died in a van or something like that.

No Picture Trevor Average	#3 by Trevor fun with drugs at Sep 15, 2006 at 9:44 PM EST
	It's a pretty easy song. He was wild about this girl, it didn't end so well, an despite the fact he still misses her he still wishes it never happened. Just to save face. Solid beat, catchy

No Picture Pysio Wanna Be	#4 by Pysio xD at Dec 18, 2006 at 10:07 AM EST
	at first i thought this song was about a relationship. someone missing their old love or somthing like that. moving away, not being able to see them. the usual but umm now that i have read your other comments im not sure anymore?... all these emo songs could mean so mcuh different things to so many different peoeple lol. but i guess thats good.

No Picture Ålex Jones™ Wanna Be	#5 by Ålex Jones™ at Jun 29, 2007 at 5:01 PM EST
	This song is about somebody who was in a relationship (obviously) and it ended (obviously) and he Wants her back desperatly, there is so many memories. He's trying to convince her & himself that he doesn't like her anymore or is over it, and thats OBVIOUSLY not the case. And I believe he's killing himself, and this song is kind of a note. Or he's contemplating it. P.S Provoked Lies I know for 100% sure he says "I follow your eyes to the point of getting lost" So SHUT-UP, because "to avoid from getting lost", makes no sense at all.=]

No Picture Justin Average	#6 by Justin at Jul 25, 2007 at 4:07 PM EST
	this song is truely amazing. and pla7 is right. im thinking that when it says this, "And all I had was the memory of what was so lets pretend it never mattered to us I hope this message finds you well I never thought I'd live to tell what's a dream and what is real, the way I really feel" is saying all he has is the memory of what his friend/person he knew who died, saying he wished he could forget, and i think by message he means song, hoping it does good to all of us, not to the person who died. and the last line [i think] means that he finnally got the reality of things when the person died, finnally knew that reality wasnt all that worse than a dream/nightmare. also, the fist line of the song, "I miss you most on winter mornings" the person died in the winter, so it probably means that when he sees the snow falling while he is his van he thinks about what happend, and last thing i have to say is the fourth line, "we drive into the cold and dark with fingers crossed" meaning hoping that what happend to the other person doesnt happen to them. crossing their fingers for their lives. i dunno, this is just what i think. -XxHollyManiacxX 1

No Picture Vezy Professional	#7 by Vezy at Aug 11, 2007 at 2:53 AM EST
	When i think about this song i can imagine JT in his old van(instead of the kick-a$$ bus they use now[i think]) talking to his girlfriend/wife(i forget) on either the phone, or a labtop. "so let's pretend this is the ending to the message i've been sending" this is the best line in that song because of the way the pop beats are played at that point.

No Picture Maggot Man Wanna Be	#8 by Maggot Man at Aug 20, 2007 at 9:31 AM EST
	Not Hawthorne Heights at their best in my opinion.

No Picture nick Average	#9 by nick coffeen at Sep 11, 2007 at 10:24 AM EST
	Um.i think it might be "I follow your EYES to avoid from getting lost." at least thats what it says in the lyrics that came with the CD..but maybe its a typo well anyways amazing song..one of my favs. love you HH!
