Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Dan Average	#1 by Dan Flores at Jun 22, 1971 at 6:01 PM EST
	I think this song is about a girl who's depressed ("so you don't hate yourself tonight") and misses friends from high school, and the guy in the song wants to be there for her but can't sometimes. I like the line "you'd hardly be aware that you were blinking". I think she's just kind of lost in her own world.

No Picture duncan_player Wanna Be	#2 by duncan_player at Jul 15, 1975 at 3:08 AM EST
	Yup. This song is the best Phantom Planet song easily. And I think it's talking about this girl who is depressed (that's obvious) and I think he wrote it for her, telling her that she's gotta move on. He's saying that yes bad things happen and you can regret them, but everything moves on, and you gotta move on too. ("Wish I could've stayed around to watch the last band play, hey hey hey, I heard they just broke up yesterday.") Of course I'm also the girl that proclaimed that I hate when people rip apart a song and "find" some deep bullshit metaphorical meaning in it just to seem deep and thoughtful.

No Picture Ultra Violet Average	#3 by Ultra Violet at Jul 6, 1976 at 11:30 AM EST

No Picture Will Average	#4 by Will Yost at Jan 14, 1989 at 12:21 PM EST
	i have absolutely no idea what this song means, but i like it!! to me, its about understanding friendshitp...but like i said, i have no idea!

No Picture Curtis Rhythm Player	#5 by Curtis Lee at Aug 24, 1990 at 7:08 AM EST
	This song means more to me than any other PP song I can think of. The feeling Alex describes 'And how that band played you really had to stare/ You'd hardly be aware that you were blinking' is the feeling I get when I see a band I love live, because its just unbelievable and I think even though its probably not intentionally about that, its good to get a sense of it.

No Picture alex Lead Player	#6 by alex beaulieu at Jan 17, 1995 at 11:24 AM EST
	I think that the girl in the song was his friend. The band represents a major event for her that he missed and even though he cares he wasnt there and now he regrets it, and realized that it was a mistake and its too late to help, and the event realy effected her.

	i think that the line 'And how that band played you really had to stare/ You'd hardly be aware that you were blinking' is a metephore for maybe a relationship...i dont liek making the meanings about relationship but its all that i can think of...well anyways umm i think that the band was the bond in a relationship and it seemed perfect but if you knew everything then you would find that it wasnt perfect...yeah umm i cant really word things proerly so sowwie if you dont understand it...peace
