| The last minute and a half or so is amazing. the modulations and chords strike me to be like the ending of an old movie...for some reason, i always think of the ending sequence of Phantom Of The Opera--you're kinda left hanging at the end. This is a great song to end an awesome album. | |

| i agree with yellowcardr0ck about how he personified hollywood as a person (holly wood) and how it is dying. another great song by yellowcard, i was sceptical at first about buying this album but it is amazing, their writting has matured a lot since "Ocean Avenue" | |

| Very good way to end the album. A double meaning song that's really catchy, and fast as opposed to their melancholy end in their album Ocean Avenu with Back Home. Talks about Hollywood life through their fictional character, Holly Wood, who shows up in most of the songs in the album. There is more sense of maturity than the last album, and it's really good. | |

| This song represents me and my life and I can't get it out of my head. Words reverbrating, bouncing off of my mind and these lyrics are the only thing that penetrated. I have my own band, and the lot of them are too caught up in the moment to be of any use to me. I'm not trying to control them or anything. This song held me up when I was down because I did what it said before in my life and now I'm better off. I may have a lot more enemies but the feeling of satisfaction and victory told me I did something right for once. This song is about some one who is to overconfident, who didn't know what they were getting into, and now, they're part of the process, or dead. Now they want out of this hellhole and to restart and rejump their life. Just thing about it. Maybe we'll find a bigger picture to it. I'm out. LP and YC Rock :p | |

| My Favorite Song off Lights and Sounds, Guitar Solo Rocks anyways, this song is about, hollywood dying, from the title that obvious, on a deeper level, the fictional atmosphere surrounding hollywood, the glamour, the popularity, the spotlight, is too emphacized. The feeling of accomplishment you recieve from going to hollywood, which is the only motivation to go to hollywood, has died, all the inspiration they've recieved is gone. Now, that i've explained the possible 'literal' meaning of the song, i will attempt to decode the other message. One of the things that i think make YellowCard one of my favorite bands, are they're great lyrics. Not only do they talk about the loss of inspiration from holly wood, but they also express the equality between celebrities and regular people, through the use of a fictional character, Holly. "Names on her sidewalks they move through her body, Like razors they cut through her heart" Like any other person, razors cut through her heart, rescurers work to keep her alive as well as any other person. "Night life and highlife she just wants a good life " Celebrities are often known to have big "night lives", however, many are unsatisfied by this and want a SIMPLE life. a good life. "so someone remembers her too but somewhere she heard there was someplace to go " Someone remembers her too, refers to possible family, not just the millions of fans, because once she dies, theres no one who shes had a real impact on, like a child. Someplace to go refers to an afterlife, and in afterlife, all people are judged equally, status is not an issue. "when you die when you live like we do die when you live like we do" Same as above, afterlife, when you die like we do, being celebrities, and regular people. "Hey let go of all you know, I’m finding a way now What have you got to lose Say out loud these words I’ve found I’ll be there when you come down I’ll be waiting for you" These lines, let go of all you know, serve to show that in the end, everything that you 'know' is meaningless without someone to impress them upon, Say anything you want, celebrities have very little to lose. However, IF they do infact lose it all, someone will be waiting for them, an ordinary person, who doesnt look up to them for their hollywood status. A real person who cared would love someone for themselves. My own Double Meaning of Holly Wood Died. Hope it helped and was plausable Arty | |
