No Picture Ŧøn¥ Average	#1 by Ŧøn¥ PiNeDa at Sep 3, 1970 at 11:43 AM EST
	truly a marvellous song,and one for everyone..lovers or not..i agree with u who said it can be interpreted many ways..aboout sin?...gosh i dunno,but if i'm wrong,then forgive me Lord for i have sinned...peace be to all

No Picture daint Rhythm Player	#2 by daint at Dec 28, 1989 at 2:08 PM EST
	Wow, the Sin meaning really fits!! And I can relate to that respect as well now! I have always looked at is as trying to "chase" down somebody. You would do anything for them but they never give you the chance that you want more then anything. You just feel that they are never actually going to "be" with you. And then when he says, "Would you believe me if I said I am tired of this now here we go now one more time" he is saying he is finally going to let it go and MOVE ON but then he gets sucked back in the sick cyle carousel and it keeps going on over and over again. And then ofcourse "Cause I tried to climb your steps, I tried to chase you down" Seems kinda like he is saying he tried so very hard and is losing hope of ever catching her. He is also showing this when he says "step down from this for good" meaning when he finally lets her go. The pain is just so hard to deal with and that could be a reason for continuing to get sucked into the carousel. Something very small but positive happens which gives a false hope. Another reason for the cycle. These are amazing lyrics that can be interpreted in so many ways! I wish this song would have taken off more, I feel it's up there with Hanging by a Moment.

No Picture jimmy Wanna Be	#3 by jimmy henry at Apr 14, 1995 at 11:17 PM EST
	this song is about a kid fighting with his parent(s). I heard Jason say it on an interview once. to bad this song never took off i liked it better than Hanging by a moment.

	well i dunno what it really means but this is what it means to me...i think this guy is so inlove with this girl and he would do anythin for her and hes done everythin "ive tried to climb ur steps ive tried to chase u down ive tried to see how low i could get down to the ground"...but the girl doesnt like him...and i think that maybe he wants to get over her ("step down from this for good")but he cant...and like he said its just a 'sick cycle carousel'. ya i just think that because im in that situation right now...i love this guy and id do anythin to get him to like me and im still just waiting...and i want to get over him but its too hard...and its just a cycle that keeps repeating itself...but i dunno maybe its just me im messed up sometimes haha
