So much fun is in a broken bottle
C
On the drive at night

So daddy froze froze froze on an old stool

| okay well what i said earlier was wrong those lyrics are right... but I got the cd & there are a few mistakes: - "Daddy throws clothes, throws on an old stove" - That she's seen love & she's faired war but fairness she can't see." - "The camaraderie's old" & PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE change: - "Don't it mean a thing." DEFF. NOT It don't mean a thing. | |

| Oh & the CD jacket never says anything like "We take back everything too." It's still "We take back everything we said about you." | |

| And on "Comraderies old.. doing what I'm told.." doesn't he sound like he's using Claudio (Coheed)'s little vocal tricks? God this song is good. It's nice to hear them with a full band. | |

| You could always just go to www.purevolume.com/headautomatica and listen (but not download) the album there. They've got the whole thing posted. Graduation Day, Graduation Day We take back everything we said too... It sounds like "true" to me. Unless he's slurring the lyrics on purpose. | |

| i think graduating from high school is a lot different from graduating from middle school hahaha.. a lot. When I graduated from high school it was kind of like a big fuck you to all the people who are immature and rude and dramatic. "Everybody knows this is getting out of hand." Graduation is like leaving behind all that high school drama bullshit that totally consumed everyday life. It just doesn't matter anymore. . . & it feels good. "Don't it mean a thing." | |

| i agree with fivergirl.i think the song talks about how maybe on graduation day,things can make things and people change.like when i graduated from middle school in june,my eniemes became my friends.the teachers that hated me said they miss me.maybe its just about how that its the day when you get your last goodbye for somebody and that maybe taking back the things people said about you is the best thing to do.if anybody agrees with my meaning,then comment! | |

| any meanings? I think it's just about graduating a part of your life. I don't know if it's directly meant to be a high school or anything, but I think it just means like breaking free and moivng in to a new stage of your life.. and that we all have the ability to change. | |
