	THRICE FUCKEN ROCKS

No Picture james Rhythm Player	#2 by james dobson at Mar 9, 1985 at 11:27 PM EST
	this song is about an internal decision that has to be made or an intense problem that has to be solved. i sincerely think thaat when he says "i put all my trust in you" and when he says "a calculated risk to further bless thy name" and "i will live and die both unto you", he is referring to God. hes asking for guidance

No Picture Chase Wanna Be	#5 by Chase Hendrix at Feb 2, 1996 at 8:51 AM EST
	This song, to me is more complex than simply a man disillusioned. He is struggling with a choice. This is evident in the diction, especially in the first verse. The word juxtaposed means to place side by side especially for comparision and violitions are concious choices or decisions. The pondering of these decesions have left him disillusioned and lost, weak if you will. He "kindles flame" or starts as perhaps a call for help and when it arrives, in his desparate state he places or must place all his trust in this person, or being. He is asking, imploring this person to "refine hate and love" or to break them down to there simplest form and give him them both. From this we learn his weakest is not from self pity, but from his seperation with himself and his emotions. This may likely be from the two decesion mentioned before the chorus, which perhaps has torn him, or punctured him, if you will. This leads in perfectly to the next verse. He is asking this being (person or otherwise) to remove a posion darkness threw the means of a stab wound. The dagger wound is most likely a metaphor for bitter honestly, or simply asking to remove the images, concerns, and choices from his hands. The wounds will hurt him greatly, he will bleed, but with the blood, comes the evil. His wounds will heal, but had the burden on his soul and mind remained (the posion) he would surely have been consumed by it. In the last verse he states that "this is my voice all shadows stayed" this, to me, must mean that it is really him, the true him, not his evilness, not cowardness, only his newer pure and opened mind. This is further reenforced by his "heart laid upon the alter" meaning, he is willing to give up everything now, for he has nothing left and must rebuild. He continues, powerfully, pleading with this being, to indeed kill him, for he only lives for this person (or being). If one examines the title of this song and the aspects of the various verses, i have come to this conclusion. The author has broken up from a long and hard relationship, and from this stemed self hatred, a question of love, a question of whether life is worth living. He is begging this girl to take it all from him, for he no longer can live with it, and as a wave raises before crashing on the beach, concludes that life is over. He will die to bless her name. In his mind why shouldnt he? He is in an identity crisis, he has lost himself. This is simply an interpretation and the following is simply an opinion but this is : Truly a great and beautiful song, powerful and touching. p.s. People, music is a flow of ideas, of sounds, and of emotions. It is, in my view, art as well. So until you have spoken with the creators of the piece you can never know truly what the meant by any aspect. So to denounce an entire genre of music reflects even greater ignorance. Please, drop your elitist attitudes and open your ears, you may see things inside your darkened disillusioned minds that will light the world slowly. Nothing everything is gained by listening, and one can never listen if one insists on bitterness toward the world. Thank you, Zach
