Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture nate Average	#1 by nate eastman at Aug 25, 2006 at 9:28 AM EST
	I think this song is about these faux punk groups/singers out there who claim to be punk (Sum41, Avril Lavigne, etc.) who are really just pop fakers. She is singing to the real punk, underground community, asking them not to fade away and let these idiots take over and ruin the name of punk. I think this theme is pretty clear from the lyrics, and just have to say "AMEN!"

No Picture ryan Average	#2 by ryan oh at Dec 21, 2006 at 7:55 AM EST
	It sounds to me like a song about a couple who've broken up, and one of them is asking them to come back because they miss the fighting and rows etc.

No Picture JJ Average	#3 by JJ at Dec 26, 2006 at 1:17 AM EST
	don't know what it means but this song sounds so awesome

No Picture Tyler Wanna Be	#4 by Tyler Swagar at Oct 2, 2007 at 3:47 AM EST
	Wow I love this song! I can't get enough. I've been listening to their cd all week, non-stop. It's just that good. And I'm with DarkSideOfTheMoon5, I wasn't into the whole indie dance pop previous to listening to this song, but now I love it.

No Picture Harry Average	#5 by Harry Johnson at Oct 3, 2007 at 5:49 PM EST
	when was this song on mtvs you heard it here first?

No Picture bob Average	#6 by bob fred at Oct 10, 2007 at 6:39 AM EST
	I think the narrorator of this song is saying that they used to have a lover who was maybe a little unhealthy for them, but they loved the challenge. Ever since their lover left them things have been boring and plain.

No Picture Avinash Average	#7 by Avinash Dutta at Oct 10, 2007 at 8:17 AM EST
	first song I ever heard by metric and after that I was hooked.

No Picture Master Shaïtan Wanna Be	#8 by Master Shaïtan at Oct 12, 2007 at 5:04 PM EST
	this song is extremely catchy and a decent showcase of metric's talents...however i went to their concert the other day and i couldn't believe how amazing they were...they might've been the best performer and this was the same day the yeah yeah yeahs, franz ferdinand, and violent femmes played...they have an amazing stage presence and are soooo much better live...go check em out...hopefully they'll be able to transfer that live goodness over to the next recording effort.

No Picture J_ROC Lead Player	#9 by J_ROC at Oct 13, 2007 at 1:09 AM EST
	hated this song 1st time i heard it. loved it about the 5th. "no one here wants to fight me like you do..."

No Picture bethan Average	#10 by bethan jones at Oct 14, 2007 at 8:11 PM EST
	i dont know about that... there's one line that really suggests that, maybe a few more that you can extrapolate but i agree with everyone else saying it's about missing somebody
