Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture joel Average	#1 by joel christman at Oct 3, 2007 at 4:01 PM EST
	He wrote it about someone who he remembers, but he has moved on and forgot about her

No Picture † james † Average	#2 by † james † at Oct 4, 2007 at 8:23 AM EST
	i just wanted to point out how this song relates to "poem" off of welcome... in poem, he says "in case of fire, break the glass" in this song he says, "now I've extinguished the flame" i like the references he uses about fighting fire. and it's funny because he uses these references in their two hit singles. love the album taproot, thank you :)

	I believe the song is about a person the writer deeply cares for and has tried to help, however they are tired of trying to help someone who cant help themself. The writer remembers and thinks of the person but has found ways to block them out. The person they tried to help has only now realized everything and wants the writer back. But its too late and the writer is moving on

	I guess I forgot to mention that in the end chorus, "subject to falling" changes to "f-f-f-falling." In many ways, this song reminds me of Papa Roach's "Scars." It's about a person who is trying to save someone from him or herself, and the bond that forms between two such people. Circumstances vary widely, but the story is always the same. Unless the other party is able or willing to make the necessary changes, eventually the "savior" must let go and allow the other person to fall away, lest he be caught in their wake. You can't save someone else; only they can do that. However, you'd be well advised to clear the blast zone before it's too late to save yourself as well.

	"you can definetelly hear a "p" at the end." Umm.......no you can't.

No Picture Håvard Average	#6 by Håvard Banne at Oct 12, 2007 at 4:11 AM EST
	A few lyric corrections (per the liner notes): Your taste a stamp flows through my veins (not stain) - The cost I pay (not I'll) Oh the race, of slowing down the pain - I found a way The pace, of speaking so mundane - The sound of gain (not that sound again)

No Picture scotty 2 hotty Rhythm Player	#7 by scotty 2 hotty at Oct 21, 2007 at 7:48 AM EST
	I noticed the way at the bridge of the song, that the drumbeat takes over into a tribal style rhythm dominated by bass and toms..... this song is very great.... Taproot has a very unique sound...
