Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jacob Lead Player	#1 by Jacob Julian at Oct 24, 1970 at 9:13 PM EST
	this song seems to have a tone of annoyance in it like he is repeating something for the 100th time. he also seems to want to break it off with whoever he is talking to because the time they spent together was worthless.

No Picture girl. Average	#2 by girl. at Apr 5, 1979 at 5:19 PM EST
	I think this is about a relationship like stated above but for me its more of, something that could've been beautiful but it got ruined as time moved on. Like a lot of relationships in life, something that started great and ended undone and unfinished. Static Prevails kicks so much ass, and I'm so glad SM is back :)

No Picture Lily Average	#3 by Lily at Feb 11, 1981 at 3:21 AM EST
	it also seems to have a lot to do with deception. "smooth the sheets, no one was here" covering up lies...? i love jimmy eat world

No Picture Nyle Average	#4 by Nyle Leddy at Feb 20, 1981 at 5:00 PM EST
	westbeach, i think tom is singing is the chorus, and jim is screaming. but thats my opinion. 1

No Picture Dirk Average	#5 by Dirk Vandermeyden at Jan 31, 1983 at 5:24 AM EST
	This song seems a little more vague than most Jimmy Eat World songs, and thats saying something. To me it just seems about forgetting whats happened in the past and coming to terms with it. He talks about smoothing the sheets so no one knows, and turning back the clock. He seems angry about what happened but is ready to just forget the whole thing and move on. So much anger and desperation in Jim's voice when he sings this its amazing. Great song to open one of the best albums of all time. And does anyone know if thats Tom screaming in the back or what, cause it sounds perfect for the song.

No Picture PUNX UNITE Average	#6 by PUNX UNITE at Nov 29, 1984 at 4:46 AM EST
	If this song was a bit faster, it would be seriously hardcore...also more screaming, much more screaming, good driving song

No Picture Atticus Average	#7 by Atticus Crowley at Mar 4, 1985 at 10:05 PM EST
	Well, what can I really say to express my feelings for this song besides "NYAH!" But seriously folks, I really wish you kids would stop playing your music so damn loud, you're making my nipples fall off. I don't know how much longer they'll be on sale at K-Mart, and I can't afford constantly buying new ones, so just gimme some root beer and we'll call it even.

No Picture its leeeeeeeeer Wanna Be	#8 by its leeeeeeeeeroy jenkins at Jun 5, 1991 at 4:50 PM EST
	I think it is about something different. To me this song may take place at a party or something. He arrives late and a girl there has been waiting for his arrival b/c they have a FWB (friends with benefits) type relationship. He has convinced her that its ok and to have fun every second of your life. So they fool around and make sure no one knows that they had. Then she feels guilty about it. She wants a real relationship and he does not. She gets mad b/c she feels connected to him through the things they have done together. He refuses have a real relationship with her and the song ends.

No Picture john Wanna Be	#9 by john dolmayan at Sep 14, 1998 at 7:58 PM EST
	I think this is about a relationship that could've turned into something so beautiful and so perfect but something came undone. It was ended unfinished, started with good intentions and broken off mid air. This has happened too many times to count.

No Picture The Ma Rhythm Player	#10 by The Masta Workz Fo’ Me at Oct 24, 1999 at 7:00 AM EST
	I think this song is about a relationship that never really gets anywhere. It was just a waste of time, but you can never get the time back. It also seems like it might have worked out, but it ended over something stupid. You know that you should try again, but you let hate and pride win. Unfortunately, this happens too often.

No Picture Andrew Average	#11 by Andrew Piwtorak at Mar 17, 2000 at 7:41 AM EST
	I agree with aymier and bovelue's ideas. I think that time is a major theme. These lines: "there is no pride in seconds lost", "we can't go back for seconds lost", "wind your watch for seconds gone" are all about lost time or time that was wasted, as in a relationship or even something else. I think that this song is about a relationship which is worthless; that's why there are the lyc's, "smooth the sheets, no one was here". This illustrates the fact that the person wishes or tries to pretend that the relationship never happened. The line about winding your watch for seconds gone also goes along with this theme of lost time. --JimmyROX!

No Picture Luke Rhythm Player	#13 by Luke Williams at Dec 23, 2005 at 6:11 PM EST
	jimmy is guilty!!!! he def is hiding something here...but hey he is still the coolest. i think this means he knows he isnt perfect, and her criticism made the relationship end. she was also dwelling on the past.
