You know what? 
The next time you see Nick 
Tell him I'm gonna stick some needles in his face 
And watch him on his knees 
Watch him when he sees that I'm not fooling

And he keeps telling everyone about me

I think I'll make him eat the ground 
I think that I will turn around and notice the wind blowing tops of trees 
I'll see the way the world begins to need color everywhere 
And I'll realize how small I really am

Why can't you just marvel in the hopes that make up this reality? 
Your world is what you made it 
And I don't want a part of it."

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture tristan Rhythm Player	#1 by tristan drew at Nov 22, 1972 at 2:09 AM EST
	I really like this song, I'm at a piont of my life where I'm "through being cool" too.

No Picture Nick Average	#2 by Nick Vanderstelt at Dec 5, 1973 at 11:47 AM EST
	This song means whatever you want it to mean, just like every song. To each his(her) own i guess. I say its about Chris is trying to make friends and stuff, but they have a bad impression of him because "nick" is telling everyone that Chris is a "deceptive" and a "fool". I've had this happen to me, where one of my friends went behind my back and told everyone crap about me. ANYWAYS, thats what i feel this song is about, suckas.

No Picture Gladis Wanna Be	#3 by Gladis McHumphry at Dec 2, 1975 at 3:02 AM EST
	This is the ultimate song to play when your friends are being crazy.

No Picture patrick Average	#4 by patrick chamberland at May 19, 1976 at 10:28 AM EST
	i don't know what the song means, but the part where chris says: I think I'll make him eat the ground I think that I will turn around and notice the wind blowing tops of trees I'll see the way the world begins to need color everywhere And I'll realize how small I really am And then I'll spin right back around And say, "Nick, why are you such a prick?" now that's just good stuff. i don't know about all you guys but i do that a lot. being intent on something, then get lost in thought for just a second, then snap back.

No Picture Matthew Average	#5 by Matthew Spencer at Oct 15, 1978 at 12:13 PM EST
	I was never cool. ha ha but the song is still cool..

No Picture Connor Rhythm Player	#6 by Connor Fowler at Feb 21, 1980 at 1:04 PM EST
	what do you think this song means? k ask your self. mm k then.thats what it means right on three cheers for saves the day

No Picture Chad Wanna Be	#7 by Chad Barri at Nov 5, 1980 at 5:11 AM EST
	to me this songs about chris acting all cool about the situation with a guy going out with his ex (who he still loves) then he comes to a point where he's through being cool with what's goin on because he's not getting over her.. then nick starts talking shit about him and he snaps

No Picture Matthew Average	#8 by Matthew Spencer at Nov 28, 1983 at 7:25 PM EST
	I like linzy279's meaning and it makes a lot of sense to me. But I read in an interview w/ STD that during the short time Chris was in college, he had a roomate named Nick who was a "prick" and that's where the song came from. Anyway. This is definitely not the best song on the CD but I love the title! I used to want to please everyone and couldn't stand it when someone didn't like me b/c it was such a big dealto me. Eventually I learned that I couldn't please everybody and all that really mattered was to be myself and the people who are worth pleasing, already love me just the way I am. So, damn it- "I'm through being cool." ROCK ON!

No Picture Mat Average	#9 by Mat Hancock at Feb 10, 1986 at 12:10 PM EST
	Never-the-less, it's a great song :D

No Picture Jake Average	#10 by Jake Bounds at Oct 26, 1986 at 8:26 PM EST
	yeah, Pathetic... that's a lame interpretation of this song. No offense. hehe... but yeah. I can't really tell you what the meaning of this song is. Only Chris Conley can. But I know that I've gone through what he makes it seem like he's going through. There was a point in my life where I felt I had to fit in and be "cool" but then I just gave up and got tired of being someone I wasn't. Yeah, the whole "through being cool" thing makes me glad I got tired of being cool.

No Picture yomomma!! Wanna Be	#11 by yomomma!! at May 30, 1987 at 8:52 AM EST
	i LOVE this song, as you can see by my name.. its so awesome

No Picture Gary Wanna Be	#12 by Gary Rossington at May 15, 1992 at 10:31 AM EST
	the lyrics are bad ass.......pretty much everything everyone said hit the nail on the head......i expected a lot different of a sound from the guitar, cause like, through being cool is the name of the cd, and everything, so i figured it'd be like a big huge bad ass "my fav song on the cd", and its not my fav, its not just hellla bad ass, the guitar riffs,and just the sound of the song, knda sounds off......i dunno, its hard to explain

No Picture Ryan Sutherland Rhythm Player	#13 by Ryan Sutherland at Oct 22, 1992 at 2:00 PM EST
	i think its about some guy who is sick of people talking about him behind his back do all he wants to do is get back at them

No Picture chris Average	#14 by chris nagel at Jan 13, 1994 at 4:42 AM EST
	wow....lately my firend nick is being an ass and im upset about it, so my friend was like you have to listen to this! and this is such a kick ass song rock on saves the day

No Picture Troy Wanna Be	#15 by Troy Erskine at Jul 21, 1994 at 2:16 PM EST
	Haha, I love this song. It's about all the stupid people in the world who start gossip about other people, and how Chris is pissed off at one guy for doing that to him.

No Picture Dylan Rhythm Player	#16 by Dylan Fitzgerald at Dec 1, 1995 at 12:51 AM EST
	to me... its about a hypocrite who acts like he doesnt care what people think of him but he wants to get back at this kid for talking shit on him i dunno im probably wrong, but thats how i see it

No Picture Ben Rhythm Player	#17 by Ben at May 23, 1999 at 8:14 PM EST
	well actually.. i see it as being about 2 guys who were best friends who think they are cool in their own right ya know not necissarily in the 'incrowd' but cool and one guy all of a sudden gets popular and the other doesn't so thats why the ''realize how small I really am'' part. because hes by now alone. and he hates the other guy now bc he's pretending to be someone he really isnt he has became a ''prick'' and if thats what bein cool really is then he doesnt want to. he's through bein cool. i guess.. maybe i'm just different.

No Picture chris Wanna Be	#18 by chris valverde at Mar 19, 2002 at 10:10 PM EST
	yeah, i know a guy named nick who think he's all badass. ahh, don't get me started. but ace song.

No Picture aleXeXeX Rhythm Player	#19 by aleXeXeX at Oct 17, 2006 at 2:17 PM EST
	To me, this song is talking abut tis guy, who is going ut with his ex, and he still likes/loves her and is wanting to beat his ass ten he ealizes tht it's not worth it or something like that. I'm not good with ong meanings...
