Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Nathan Average	#1 by Nathan Delvecchio at Oct 1, 1975 at 9:58 PM EST
	has to be my favorite song by this artist It pretty much is saying how guilt can just devour you and drive you to shame

No Picture Darren Wanna Be	#2 by Darren Pilton at Mar 27, 1976 at 7:10 AM EST
	I don't know... it kinda reminded me of gambling? Probably because of the 'Waste your millions here' line. I know! It's Vegas! Vegas has so many lights, it could be said to 'burn like the sun' you feel guilty while you are there, because of all the opulence and sin surounding you.. One could be come beyond wealthy, or loose everything one owns there.. just depending on your luck. Gambling is an addiction.. no one wants to admit to addictions... "Can't face the shame" .. so.. yeah, I think it's about Vegas. xD

No Picture Green Day rocks Average	#3 by Green Day rocks!!!! at Apr 6, 1987 at 6:49 PM EST
	i cant believe marijndevalk is the only one that got the meaning! Not everything is about love or 9/11 you know, this song is clearly about capitilism. Such a great song, if only everyone understood it!

No Picture Connor Rhythm Player	#4 by Connor Fowler at May 4, 1990 at 4:14 PM EST
	I think it is simply about desiring things you know you shouldn't and feeling guilty about it.

No Picture ~Ivy Loves Shav Rhythm Player	#5 by ~Ivy Loves Shavo~ at Aug 20, 2001 at 11:38 PM EST
	I totally agree with the last comment. I think it could be about him having an affair, and that's why he has a guilty conscience, and why he is ashamed. And that's the bit about the lies aswell, cos he doesn't break it off. The part about her burning like the sun, could be she is so smouldering hot (!) or he feels like he's being tortured, cos he wants her so much, but she doesn't wanna be his 'bit on the side'. Perhaps she was so alluring in the beginning, but now she cries cos she wants him too. I dunno, maybe!
