No Picture Phillip Wanna Be	#4 by Phillip Doucette at Jul 20, 1975 at 5:32 AM EST

No Picture Reece Wanna Be	#5 by Reece Brown at Jul 26, 1976 at 7:03 AM EST
	i know for a fact Lilvolcom is right. I saw thse guys in concert not to long ago and his wife is from Utah and so amI and when she was here i asked what is this song about. She said the Jews over coming the odds of being the low man on the totem pole. so its what Volcom dude said.

No Picture edwin Wanna Be	#6 by edwin henrriquez at Jul 14, 1977 at 5:09 AM EST
	Fahrenheit 451 anyone?

No Picture blake Average	#7 by blake pratt at May 21, 1978 at 1:58 PM EST
	a phoenix is a mythical that rose from the ashes of its own destruction to greater glory. this song is about such a recreation of yourself from your own destruction. In the wake of your destruction, you make urself into something greater, everyday tearing down the walls which held you back from becoming perfect, and not to hold yourself back from greatness and with every day living a life and creating a self more perfect

No Picture Thomas Average	#8 by Thomas Buckman at Jun 1, 1978 at 5:17 AM EST
	i agree with holkeye but the whole phoenix thing is about an extinct bird.. in the book farenheit 451 it tells the symbolisim of the phoenix

No Picture Vicky Average	#9 by Vicky Barnard at May 7, 1982 at 5:20 AM EST
	i don't know if that whole bird thing is right... i thought this song is about nick racino being gaylees?

No Picture Sawyer Rhythm Player	#10 by Sawyer Hildebrandt at Feb 28, 1984 at 2:23 AM EST
	I feel this song can directly relate to the one of the cycles of life. Destruction Breeds Creation can sum it up fairly nicely.

No Picture Green Day rocks Average	#11 by Green Day rocks!!!! at Jul 12, 1988 at 4:58 PM EST
	i like how he uses the metaphor of the pheonix in this song. in case u didnt know, the pheonix isw a LEGENDARY (not extinct) bird, who every few hundred years(or somethin, im a little rusty on my lengends) would burst into flames and out of the "ashes and the embers" of the last bird, a new one would be born... so when he sings this: No regrets, just rebirth move forward, and ignite. Incandescent Reinvention a new renaissance A NEW FIRE EACH DAY hes talking about how every day you have a new chance at life, and you should live everyday to the fullest, like it was the last. just like a pheonix would... lol thats just my opinion, songs have a different meaning for everyone ;)

No Picture St. Jimmy Wanna Be	#12 by St. Jimmy at Oct 20, 1989 at 8:29 AM EST
	well, i think its really about living life to the fullest and finding something to live for. basically its a great frickin song and everyone should listen to it. i love this song and so should everyone else.

No Picture silent Rhythm Player	#13 by silent support at Feb 14, 1990 at 1:55 PM EST
	ha ha, I'm from WA too, I was pissed they didn't perform on our Warped Tour!! They really need to come by here...in the summer that is.

No Picture Chris Wanna Be	#14 by Chris H at Jan 20, 1993 at 3:38 PM EST
	Definately about rising out from something and overcoming odds. Finding something to live for.

No Picture Will Wanna Be	#15 by Will Hay at Sep 8, 1994 at 1:38 AM EST
	ok ive already posted on here once that i love this song but im posting again. its just that good.

No Picture ian Average	#16 by ian mckinly at Dec 1, 1995 at 7:02 AM EST
	Yeah... Why does everybody relate Thrice songs to God? Everytime I read the Thrice comments, someone thinks that it's about God. They all do really well of relating the songs to God too. Anyway... I have another question... No offense... But why do all bible thumpers relate EVERYTHING to God? Sorry about the bible thumpers thing.... I didn't know what else to call them. Yeah.... But Thrice is such a rad band and all they're music is very well put together and intellegent.... They're a hoot... =)

No Picture gabby Professional	#17 by gabby at Dec 16, 1995 at 2:20 AM EST
	I think this song is about Christianity "like a phoenix ignition" a phoenix is reborn, and you are begning rebirth "like a creamatorium" death, basically which i think means to die and be reborn in Christ or to be broken and rebuilt "like a swelling vollition from the berrel of a gun" a vollition means an impotant decision, and it is a important desision to become Christian "from the ashes and the embers, like a rocket i'll ascend" you come out of death "embers" and u ascend to live like Christ "No regrets, just rebirth" after you've been reborn in Chist you dont regret it

No Picture Squirrels Lead Player	#18 by Squirrels Dyrant at Jan 1, 1996 at 10:13 PM EST
	why does everyone relate thrice songs to god? maybe its just me but im sure every song doesnt have a hidden message about christ. who am i to tell you what to get out of a song though? at least you use your imagination and are able to take from the song what you believe. i think all these songs are so great and we all love them so much because we can each interperet them differently and take the song how ever the hell we want to, even though this leads to a bunch of heated discussions and hot headed teenagers arguing over whether a song is about suicide or christs rebirth. ah well ive rambled for long enough.

No Picture ben Average	#19 by ben doherty at Apr 27, 1996 at 8:44 PM EST
	I'm guessing the thing about the Holocaust is probably right, it would make sense in the context of the song, but - punk - was right too, a phoenix is a legendary bird, most often connected with flames and rebirth. So this song does relate to the Holocaust, but it's also a metaphor for surviving and going against all odds.

No Picture Obtuse Professional	#20 by Obtuse at Feb 14, 1998 at 9:04 AM EST
	The song refers to the imperfect nature of man. Like the phoenix, man constantly destroys himself, but never fails to rise out of the ashes to begin anew. Even though perfection will never be ours to know (at least in this life...), we should strive to achieve that state in order to fully live. The speaker infers that underneath all the taint and built-up stain, there lies in us the ability to renew ourselves.

No Picture Beaver Average	#21 by Beaver Butt at Sep 29, 2000 at 3:49 AM EST
	In my lit class we've been reading about the Holocaust for about 2 weeks. This morning as I was getting ready and listening to my Thrice CD, the song kinda reminded be of the book I'd just finished, Night by Elie Wiesel. It recounts this man's experience in concentration camps. This song reminds me of the many references throughout the book about the crematory, the fires, the shootings, and the threat of he and his father rising from the chimneys with the others. And also of his hope of getting out soon and how they were "one step closer all the time" to liberation. It may not be what the song was intended but for some reason it reminded me of that.

No Picture jessie Wanna Be	#22 by jessie sinanan at Sep 17, 2001 at 11:25 AM EST
	This song is awesome!

No Picture Pablo Rhythm Player	#23 by Pablo Muñiz at Dec 13, 2002 at 9:32 AM EST

No Picture jamie Lead Player	#24 by jamie soad at Apr 25, 2003 at 5:37 AM EST
	This song is so rad. It starts out like a song you'd hear at church, all acoustic and stuff....AND THEN busts out the fatty, mad awesome music. This song is so fucking rad and the band is FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! mucho gusto, they need to tour washington.

No Picture «™†Rob†™» Average	#25 by «™†Rob†™» at Dec 22, 2003 at 10:57 AM EST
