Ila Reto Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 ^ lyrically and [melody?], the whole nimrod album is definately a favorite. building on hermione and my do da da lyric mystery, what the heck is"moving on and i always thought i realized you've imagined"supposed to mean? it's one of those songs where you can't figure it out yet somehow you know exactly what they mean by it. and from Uptight"perfect picture of bad health, another notch scratched on my belt""Future just ain't what it used to be"and "Future's in my living room"that song pretty much summed up this past spring for me.

sarita Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 One of my favorites off of Nimrod is Walking Alone.."Sometimes I should just keep my mouth shut or only say helloSometimes I still feel I'm walking alone."I identify cuz sometimes I really should learn to keep my mouth shut!

Ally Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 "do you ever think back, to another time, does it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind" from having a blast seems to be my favourite at the moment, it just sums everything up nicely in my life. loland "what the fuck did i get myself into, with you" from pieces of truth, reminds me of my ex...

And yes, Billie is truly gifted when it comes to songwriting and getting across whatever mood the song conveys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharon mitchell Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 From Walking Alone - Walk on eggshells on my old stomping ground.Major revision time - can I just say that every lyric of every song on Nimrod owns me, heart and soul. Whatever place Billie was at when he wrote the stuff for that album, I hope he went there again to write the new album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 ^I couldn't agree more. There's just something about Nimrod that gets right under my skin. I love Scattered,"Loose ends tied in knots Leaving a lump down in my throatGagging on a souvenierLodged to fill another year"and"If you got on one and I've got no place to goWould it be alright? Could it be alright?"Yeah actually the whole song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 If you got on which one?I LOVE funny typos!Ahaha, now all I can think of is possible dirty meanings of my typo.... Must've been my subconscious mind that caused it I'm sure I've already quoted pretty much every line from Redundant, but,"Choreographed and lack of passionPrototypes of what we wereWhet full circle til I'm nauseousTaken for granted now I waste it, faked it, ate it, now I hate it"I love how he descibes that frustrated feeling, especially with the way he sings the last line. The song seems so sad and reflective, yet still so full of hope. The way he expresses those raw emotions in such a beautiful, delicate way is amazing to me, "I love you's not enough, I'm lost for words" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ila Reto Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 i listened to nimrod in class today and i forgot how much i loved that album. Walking Alone is such a wonderful song, it's like admiting your wrong and realizing that you have to know when to throw in the towel. "Sometimes i need to apoligise, sometimes i need to admit that i ain't rightsometimes i should just keep my mouth shut, or only say hellosometimes i still feel im walking alone". Scattered will forever be in my overall top 10. but sometimes i dont understand what the lyrics mean. yet i still get what they're saying. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
