When playing the interlude, arpeggiate the chords by raking the pick across the strings
from high to low. There is also a bass part in this interlude, if you know it, e-mail me,
because I don't have a clue how to play it.

| well first I think the song title "a decade under the influence" is in reference to Adam in his apt going dealing with maybe not having a TBS anymore, because I read in somewhere that during the hiatus, he would make frequent trips to the corner store...so that time during the hiatus could seem like "a decade under the influence" and now the song could just be the times when he knew John was leaving and "to hell with you and all your friends" could possibly have Jesse Lacey thrown in there since of course he took sides with John...and finally "I thought of you and my worst brings out the best in you"...that could be a lot of the rumors about Adam being an ass to John's sister and that was one of the rumors about him leaving and that brings out the best in John which means forming Straylight Run... so yea, thats my take on the song and i could be completely wrong | |

| "Well, thats more sweet, so delicate We use to be this dying breed I've got a bad feeling about this I've got a bad feeling about this" i believe this is a reference to before the splitting of the two tbs members, "we use to be this dying breed", meaning they brought something new to this genre of music, and help revive it "To say you'll have to go (i could go on) well, say you'll have to go (i could go on) to hell with you and all your friends to hell with you and all your friends..its on well, thats more sure in porcelian your skin and bones, im a nervous wreck well ive got a bad feeling about this ive got a bad feeling about this" This is when john states he has to go, but adam confesses he could go on, then adam realizes theres nothing left and john took shaun with him, and jesse Lacey took johns side, hence "to hell with you and all friends" the next line "to hell with you and all your friends...its on" Its on could reference to the lyrics that john wrote towards TBS in his lyrics... "You kept still untill the long drive home slept safe and close to the window ive got a bad feeling about this ive got a bad feeling about..." I suppose this could mean coming home from their last show together, john slept the entire way, didn't move or talk... ive got a bad feeling about this means adam knows something is coming "Anyone will do tonight Close your eyes, just settle, settle" adam is most likely desperatley wanting to play, and claiming doesnt matter who plays guitar/back up vocals just as long as someone does it, and at the same time hes most likely trying to calm/talk things out with john "I'm coming over but it never was enough, I thought of you and my worst brings out the best in you" Adam most likely kept on visiting john (after john moved out of their apartment) but it never helped, and the "i thought of you.." part is adam showing his worst side, and john fed off of it and wrote many great songs for straylight run, and it brought out the best in john... thats my my take on it... | |
