Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Travis Wanna Be	#1 by Travis Alford at Feb 3, 1973 at 1:10 PM EST
	I agree with OwnPersonalDemon, this song is pretty starightforward. I love the lyics he uses! "I sit here clutching useless lists and keys for doors that don't exist i crack my teeth on pearls i tear into the history just show me what it means to me in this world." These are some of the best lyrics i've heard! Everything about this song is PERFECT! Especially since they wrote it off of the bass line, which isn't easy to do.

No Picture John Rhythm Player	#2 by John McElyea at Apr 2, 1983 at 11:09 AM EST
	i think that this song is about dutin questioning his faith. he doesnt know where to turn wants a sign for god to know that he exists and that hes noit wating his life. "saints" refer to hes checked out the religious teachings and "scholars" to the scientific and PRACTICAL teachings but still has not found any answers. the line" ill stare straight into the sun and i wont close my eyes till i understand or go blind" is one of the best lines ever written. p.s. im an atheist so dont bitch

No Picture ♥brian Lead Player	#3 by ♥brian♥ ******** at Aug 23, 1984 at 11:19 AM EST
	The song does have a lot of religious aspects of it, but you could also just apply to a person with a tought life or going through bad times. Hes "due for a miracle" something that will take him out or something that will change his life. he studies this and that but nothing happens to come to him to change his life or find his way.

No Picture Failure by Desi Average	#4 by Failure by Design at Sep 12, 1985 at 12:55 PM EST
	If you people like good lyrics check out a perfect circle. just don't buy eMotive that one sucked

No Picture keith Wanna Be	#5 by keith mckinlay at Sep 23, 1992 at 12:00 PM EST
	well, i kinda c it as sum1 hu is at an important part in there life, n they r stuck as where 2 go, yeh i dunno, i'm proberley wrong, but i can definatly relate to this song and i cn't help but sing it everytime i hear it...

No Picture Austin Average	#6 by Austin Schrauben at Feb 8, 1994 at 3:24 PM EST
	I also agree with OwnPersonalDemon. It does make sense that its about him trying to find a religious or spiritual path that makes sense to him
