Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Lamb Of God Wor Average	#1 by Lamb Of God Worshiper at Jul 17, 1974 at 11:59 AM EST
	1st verse reminds me of the hollocaust, geoff prolly didnt realize that when he wrote it, but yes, it is also about not sleeping If we run far away do you think we will ever die? (escaping nazi's) We'll throw these books in the fire (nazi's book burnings) Can you stop the train (cattle cars) Cause it some delay? The change machine lied And it's too late to scream

No Picture brad Average	#2 by brad at May 1, 1978 at 2:59 PM EST
	this song makes me want to live, to seize life by the nutz and . . .uh . . .well just live. anyway, i was feeling depressed and lonely in college the other night, and I was listening to full collapse in my bed. When this song came on I just said, fuck feeling sorry for myself, it was 2 o'clock in the moringing, I got up out of bed, threw some clothes on and fucking partied my brains out.

No Picture Elizabeth Wanna Be	#3 by Elizabeth Greer at Oct 1, 1981 at 9:27 PM EST
	i like the redundacy of autumn leaves

No Picture Jeff Average	#4 by Jeff Berg at Oct 10, 1986 at 11:00 PM EST
	Yes, this song is about insomnia. Keep your oppinions to yourself biatches. This ain't pop punk, they dont write about lost girls. Well, yeah, they do, but this ain't one of those songs.

No Picture Punk Rock Princ Wanna Be	#5 by Punk Rock Princess at Jul 24, 1998 at 11:29 PM EST
	this song takes my breath away, too. it's so powerful. where he cries out, "I will never sleep again, I'll never even close my eyes", that just breaks me down inside. The last part, "I'm falling down And you're not here to break my fall" takes the words right out of my mouth. I just want to say that to my bf so badly. This is one of the best songs I've heard. Well, how long IS the night?

No Picture dimebag 66' Average	#6 by dimebag 66' at Aug 14, 1998 at 9:50 PM EST
