No Picture lewi Wanna Be	#1 by lewi broadway at Apr 20, 1972 at 8:20 PM EST
	to me this song is about not himself, but someone else only he is speaking for them. I think it's about having something and then it all just gets taken away from you. namly your home and family. For instance he "wakes up silent" because there's not a lot of people to talk to when you're homless (however i have never experienced being homeless). He can't find pills to sleep because who wants be awake or alive when you have nothing. when everything cuts out like a miswired radio that's the goverment taking your house. it all just goes away. when he lives in a nightmare, that's just him waking up. it's written all over his face that he can't or won't do anything to change it. Never being the same again has to do with you not doing anything about it and just going about your life, hating it. "Disorient the sences," kill yourself basically. "Loss of idenity, no one to trust." no one know you and you can't trust anybody if that's not simple enough. "life runs through this trade/but i am no killer/ but still i hide my face/ in the coming days." life goes on, but i didn't make it this way. but i'm lying to myself. "I wake up every morning from the same dream and then I kill it, but you can't change the letters when the ink dries." just saying that he wakes up everyday to the same crap and wishes it would go away, but it won't. "I woke up on the sidewalk and everything just changed. Now the lights are blinking but I can't see anything." i woke up on the sidewalk and everything went downhill from there. people were moving around me but i couldn't see them. "Everything is falling apart: Crumpled paper, Crushed tin cans, Broken bottles, Paper scraps, We all look the same/We all look the same, but I am the killer" Everything wasn't meant to be this way. there crupled paper and crushed tin cans all over the place. who did this! we all look the same!! but it was me. i destroyed myself! well that's what the song means to me. and for anyone who reads this please just remember it's only my opinion i don't know geoff, i don't talk to him everyday about this song this is just my opinion so there, i said it i hope you like it.

	This is the greatest song. All songs by thursday are fucking amazing. Especially the ones on Full Collapse.

No Picture Eric Rhythm Player	#3 by Eric at Sep 15, 1980 at 10:18 PM EST
	I think this song is about doing a really fucked up thing that you regret, and having overwhelming feelings of guilt. I am the guilty. "I am the Killer." But you can't change the letters when the ink dries.

No Picture The MADMAN Average	#4 by The MADMAN All the way at Mar 20, 1981 at 2:07 PM EST
	o.k. I am so down with thursday and I usually have a sense of what they are talking about. But I have absolutely no clue what this song is about. Is he expressing his own twisted homicidal tendencies? That would be fucked up...

No Picture Elizabeth Wanna Be	#5 by Elizabeth Greer at Apr 21, 1985 at 4:28 PM EST
	this is my favorite song on full collapse. its just so powerful and fabulous and great. it gets your mind all worked up just listening to it, but live, it makes your head spin. its astounding.

No Picture Lamb Of God Wor Average	#6 by Lamb Of God Worshiper at Sep 16, 1987 at 10:08 PM EST
	rainydayboy, to me the song is talking about going through something life changing that was caused by u...and the end of the song gives me this feeling, like i'm in a room w/ all these ppl and they are all happy and laughing and i'm just in the middle of it all and i look just like them on the out but on the inside i'm screaming and sweat is dripping off my forehead and the room is spinning because i caused something huge that i'm not proud of...like when a kid this its his/her fault that their parents are getting divorced so to the kid they are the killer of the marriage...u get what i'm saying??? its probably not what Geoff had in mind when he was writing the song (if he was the one writing it) but that's how i take it...it works for me...hope i helped

	i like your interpretation rockr.

No Picture Kevin Average	#8 by Kevin turbyfill at Oct 3, 1996 at 10:22 AM EST
	dude! that is an awsome take on the song!! i think the song has a basic plot to it that can be shaped into how ever the listener is feeling. like w/ the thing i said before...my mom and step dad are splitting up so that how i got that..i can take almost any song from that cd and relate it to what i'm going through...u (i would guess) have just gonne through a break up..but i could be wrong but what i started out saying..this song has a basic plot...(i explained it up there) but i love the end(ish) part where geoff keeps saying "everythings falling apart" its builting up to the climax where u reolize he's the reason everythings all fucked up..its so cool....i love listening to this song and that part...my friends all think i'm weird cuz whenever we're listening to it i make them all get quite until the part where he starts yelling "i am the killer"...but then again, i'm a dork like that!! hehe

No Picture Jimmy Lead Player	#11 by Jimmy Chezz at Mar 6, 2005 at 1:28 AM EST
	heh :) Nah I havent just been through a break up. I just did A-level english literature and after analysing poems every day its kinda forced a permanent mind set on me :) I cant look at anything without analyising it now. But yeah, half of its about the listeners interpretation aswell. I can definately see it from your point of view
