| Yes, it's more of a truth that others need to know. Like the qoute "Fear not those who argue. But, those who dodge. He's complaining for the best, just like Josh is saying: To open thier eyes, just like i've used these songs, or my own to try to get to people. Not only that, but just talking to them. | |

| It's about drinkin, drugs ect. "living a mediocre life" What I wanna know is since Tim's lyrics are usually observing others, does he just write this way and the songs are actually criticizing himself? Or are the songs actually criticizing others. Don't get me wrong, the music is amazing either way, but that would be somewhat hypocitical considering some of the lines in "Six Ways Til Sunday" btw, I've always thought a lot of the lyrics (not all of course) are actually about himself, but written in a different perspective. | |
