Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture guitar girl Rhythm Player	#1 by guitar girl 13 at Oct 21, 1972 at 9:19 AM EST
	i have to like these lyrics, good tone. The girl or guy who just doesn't fit the mold of anything to classify. People want order and understanding, when there is someone who you just cant figure and they are also reserved it makes the gallery nervous. Inturn the offbeat one receives the feedback and has to choose conform to something to let the eyes slide over her, or stay as is and begin to hate everyone and everything. When all someone has is hate inside they may smile, they may act a role, but there is a bomb inside. Its a matter of how its cared for. It could blow and errupt into violence, could be suicide, addiction, or as often seen a sickening pretension of of a realworld MTV character. Regardless, without any acceptance the person's ego will fight for something to grab onto when there is a glance or snicker. The ego could also turn on her as well and the helpless low self esteem thing happens. Sad. True. Interesting psychological stuff though.

No Picture Razor Wanna Be	#2 by Razor Edge at Apr 1, 1974 at 3:12 AM EST
	this used to be my theme song, because i think it's about this girl who always gets made fun of, and teased and she feels like she could just kill everybody. the chorus is explaining that somebody knows how annie feels, and is trying to tell people, "Please be careful, Annie dreams that everyone is dead" I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I LOVE OLP!!!!

No Picture Austin Wanna Be	#3 by Austin Skitowski at Apr 1, 1977 at 2:57 PM EST
	Are you sure? Jeremy killed himself, not his classmates.

No Picture Jeremy Rhythm Player	#4 by Jeremy Dosser at Jan 5, 1980 at 1:04 AM EST
	becarful who you fuck with cause you never know when theyll snap and blow your fuckin head off. i feel thats the general moral, but its also about how we fear people cause its impossible to know whats goin on ther head. we feel there hiding something from us and we cant know what they truly think so maybe its just better to not exist is anyones head

No Picture Joe Average	#5 by Joe Fitzpatrick at Jun 8, 1984 at 5:21 AM EST
	it reminds me of this really unique girl i go to school with. she always has something brilliant to say but everyone shuts her out because she doesn't dress like them. my class is so very shallow. but the song is great and i love that olp dedicated a song to weird girls and strange things. i exist in someone else's head probably means annie doesn't think much of the guy that is talking to her because she has other more important things to think about besides someone that goes with the crowd. she's a rebel.

No Picture tristan Rhythm Player	#6 by tristan drew at Sep 2, 1984 at 2:40 AM EST
	hey, I guess im a little late. I have to do this for a school project. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it means when annie says please be careful i exist in more than one head??? I couldnt understand this...... Thanx for all your help so far.

No Picture Obtuse Professional	#7 by Obtuse at May 21, 1988 at 1:09 AM EST
	Actually, I read where Raine explained what this song is about, i think it was on their site... it is about a girl whos sorta being teased and the like and she begins to hate her classmates, and the singer is supposed to be sort of like a person who begins to be weirded out by her intentions and becomes kinda scared of her, almost trying to warn people of her intentions, but no actions happen in the song

No Picture Conar Wanna Be	#8 by Conar Gillard at Jul 10, 1990 at 9:13 PM EST
	This is just how I interpret it but I think it's about a girl who's really smart but quiet and alone and maybe people make fun of her but she doesn't even notice it because she's pretty much socially out of it, but she is a bit crazy and she sees people dying. I don't think she neccesarily wants anyone to die.

No Picture Shay Average	#9 by Shay at Jun 16, 1991 at 1:17 AM EST
	I love this song, our lady peace is so awesome. I think this song is about a girl who gets pisses off and wants to kill everyone. Similar to the way I feel a lot of times. Seriously, this song just brings a smile to my face.

No Picture Ahhma Average	#10 by Ahhma Yomamma at Nov 22, 1993 at 7:39 PM EST
	I don't think that the song implies that she kills anyone but more that she is plotting revenge. The little bomb at their side, as in she's going to explode and she can't keep it in any longer.

No Picture Tyler Wanna Be	#11 by Tyler Swagar at Oct 20, 1995 at 10:02 PM EST
	This song was written after the whole columbine thing happend (or so i hear) And it's about a girl named annie (gee i'm observent...lol) but anyways... she gets teased so much, she cant take it anymore... By the way, OLP KICKS A SS

No Picture the white hendr Badass	#12 by the white hendrix at Feb 18, 2000 at 1:40 PM EST
	Ok, so this song is definatley about a girl; Annie. SHe is bullied by her peers. they dont see that shes a good person and that she could really help them and do good for them: "You just might be that lillte bomb on thier side". This means they might need her help someday. I think she "dreams evryone is dead" becasue she dosnt like the world shes in, its too cruel for her. But then again its just my interp. !!!

No Picture Matt Wanna Be	#13 by Matt Sakrosky at Aug 2, 2005 at 4:48 AM EST
	Alright, this might sound weird, but i think this song is about a movie. The movie is called in dreams. Its really weird because the song goes right along with the movie. The movie is about this Lady that sees how people die before they do. And the reason she does is because she sees through this killers eyes its weird once you see the movie i think youll understand seriously check it out
