Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Justin - MrBlit Rhythm Player	#1 by Justin - MrBlitz - Maletta at Aug 22, 1978 at 4:21 PM EST
	The father-son thing seems to be right, but I was thinking it could possibly also be about his relationship with his wife...at least it seems that way in some parts. "You'll be home again And I'll be home again" "You'll be whole again And I'll be whole again" Those lines especially come across like that to me, because essentially they have a long-distance relationship.

No Picture Daron Average	#2 by Daron Malakian at Jan 28, 1986 at 3:19 AM EST
	"Breathe in the night that crushed a tired sunrise...Born again, the day brings young naivety." It's like Daniel wishes he could be young and naive again, when every sunrise seemed to bring something new...but now the sunrises just seem tired, and the darkness threatens to crush it all. "All those years...I was hurting to feel something more than life...' It sounds like Daniel is saying all the years of depression/anxiety/ana made him realise that he will never be really happy, because he expects too much from everything. I don't think Daniel is as recovered as he would like everyone to believe. This song, from the outside, sounds like he's trying to reassure everyone, including himself, that he's okay, but really, there's tons of shit he needs to deal with.

No Picture Ulti` Average	#3 by Ulti` 89 at Oct 12, 1986 at 5:18 PM EST
	Munificent, artless and ascetic Playing like a scared Enthusiastic pawn I wonder if this part is about losing control and being thrown into the music business 'munificent' because he was so liberal in giving everything he had to the music business. 'ascetic' (meaning strict self-denial) perhaps having to do with his attempt to gain control through anorexia. 'playing like a scared enthusiastic pawn' another indicator of a loss of control, feeling used perhaps. I don't really know...but it is a gorgeous song..really dynamic

No Picture sean Wanna Be	#4 by sean bradly at Dec 10, 1992 at 3:38 PM EST
	Haha, im so lucky!! I actually live in the city Daniel grew up in(newcastle, australia). This is a song that got me into silverchair. Its just so beautiful and he has an awesome voice. Im not sure on what it means its kinda got a mixed meaning or something. It could mean a lot of things to different people, but anyway, its really good Thankyou

No Picture maximus Average	#5 by maximus hyrule at Mar 16, 1994 at 5:43 PM EST
	this is everything that silverchair isn't, nice lyrics but nah

No Picture Justin Rhythm Player	#6 by Justin Lepera at Jan 3, 1996 at 2:02 PM EST
	i think it is a great song it is alot different to their older stuff i didnt really like it until i saw them play it live and it kicked ass he has a great voice and cant wait for their next album to come out

No Picture john Average	#7 by john at Mar 29, 2004 at 12:17 AM EST
	i have a feeling this song may be linked to Anthem. In anthem the entire song is about the older generation looking down and more or less discarding the younger generation. Maybe that was about a sour relationship between DJ and his father. This song is clearly about a relationship with his father...if the song is about him.
