| This song was off of "The Crow" and it is awesome! The lyrics are great and I agree with Beth on the meaning. | |

| Was recorded during the 'why do birds sing?' sessions, but Gordon Gano refused to put it on the album. The rest of that album was very acoustic whereas this has some moody synth in it, so probably a good call. Great track for the Crow movie. Fantastic song. | |

| This song is about a man finding out the realities of life and relationships. You begin life with your arms open to the world, so naive. And when you find out life is cruel you feel as if you have been lied to. Nothing is as it seems. Emotions are like a roller coster and you wonder what people think about you...especially those you have crushes on. So all you have is patience, because the answers don't come until these things or people are unimportant to you, and it doesn't matter anymore. But you gotta go on. | |
