	hey..you drugged or sumethin?

No Picture Musical Genius	#2 by oh.... THAT guy at Jul 17, 1978 at 3:34 PM EST
	i'm surprised there arent more comments on this song. This is one of my favorite songs lyrically because of the honesty of the lyrics and the message it sends to today's broken youth. The song is about suicide. The lyrics directly relate to humanity by relating something as delicate as porcelain to the fragility of human life. It sends a message to those thinking of committing suicide in the last few lines of the song. Thursday wrote this song in memory of one of their dear friends who committed suicide in hopes that somehow they could save a life and prevent someone else from feeling the pain of losing a loved one to this horrible and pointless act of violence against oneself. Read the words, digest them, understand them, and relate them to you or someone you know who may be considering suicide. Suicide is the escape of the weak, an escape for people who think they are too pathetic to help themselves. No one is that pathetic. Geoff's last word in this song: Live

	I remember back in 2000 when I heard this song...I was blown away. Thursday is definately a band I love, and a band that makes me glad I'm from Jersey. It was Thursday that opened my eyes to symbolism and different ways of thinking. I feel Thursday holds so much truth and feeling in their lyrics, I was never really able to relate to this song until recently, when a dear friend of mine unfortunately took his life away. And I feel that like "the crack in the porcelain" any small crack in someone's life can shatter them.

No Picture Jimmy "Hoffa" Average	#4 by Jimmy "Hoffa" at Jan 6, 1980 at 3:06 PM EST
	i love the imagery. their lyrics are some of the best and poetic i've read. makes most of the other bands i listen to seem so flat.

No Picture Will Average	#5 by Will Yost at Aug 31, 1980 at 12:45 AM EST
	wow life is so precious and taken for granted. try and live. what a message!

No Picture Christina Average	#6 by Christina Anderson at Nov 8, 1980 at 2:46 AM EST
	This is also my favorite song off Waiting. Tons of meaning behind this song, and allthough it can be depressing its ultimatley uplifiting and makes you think.

No Picture James Average	#7 by James Newsome at Jan 10, 1988 at 1:05 AM EST
	Awsome Song, I love the intro to it, and Thursday kicks ass for people who say other wise and I'll come and kick your ass if you still don't think so lol

No Picture Failure by Desi Average	#8 by Failure by Design at Dec 10, 1994 at 7:11 AM EST
	oh god, i love this song. this is the first thursday song i heard and i was instantly hooked. i think this song is about how words arent the whole story... and how sometimes life is just really hard. or maybe im totally wrong.

No Picture Kazza Average	#9 by Kazza at Jan 3, 1996 at 3:37 PM EST
	while not the best thursday song in my opinion, i think this song is still awesome, just because it's thursday. This song also goes to show that just cause a song doesnt really rhyme or have a beat, it doesnt mean it sucks.

No Picture Will Wanna Be	#10 by Will Hay at Apr 7, 1996 at 2:57 PM EST
	this song remindes me of a close friend of mine that died from cancer. not suicide. just the part that said "when people die they take a peice of you with them" its so so SO true. you get to this point where you realize that someone is gone and thayre never ever coming back and its just the weirdest feeling. its true, they do take a peice of you with them. rip- GK

No Picture eddy Lead Player	#11 by eddy blade at Apr 24, 1996 at 10:02 AM EST
	As said...�Porcelain,� is obviously a reference to how fragile life can be. Geoff said, "One of my best friends in the world, the kid who basically raised me since I was a little kid and got me into hardcore, moved to San Francisco two years ago. Then he bought a shotgun from Wal-Mart and he shot himself."

No Picture Dan Professional Badass	#13 by Dan Hudspith at May 12, 2000 at 12:15 AM EST
	This is a brilliant song. This is my favorite song off Waiting. I can't stop listening to it, the lyrics and music go so great together and the way it is written is just beautiful.
