i was thinking about using the "these are my friends..." line for my senior quote, but im kind of questioning the meaning of the whole song. the impression that i get is that hes singing about all his friends who have many problems that they cant change, and he will always be "stuck" with them. i dont want to use the quote because it sounds good by itself if everything around the song is basically talking about how bad they are. thanks for help.
I get that vibe from the song as well, but it's more of a feeling of content with the friends rather than regret.
If you use that line to represent you and your friends' good memories, and "this is how we stay" like a best friends forever thing, I think that would be ncie.
Man Say anything has some of the coolest lyrics ive ever heard and is one of the only bands that youll find that has extremely deep lyrics ans awesomely long songs that kick total ass. I just love the way he words stuff and the talented musicians in the band

i know it isnt long, but some of Say Anything songs are 4mins. And look, SAY ANYTHING ROCKS!!! Im not saying otherwise, but Say Anything songs are little long, not LONG, but a tiny long. And i dont know what point he is trying to prove. But hes trying to say something hidden in his lyrics, but i dotn know what. Thanks to GardenOfEros, i know what he is saying, or trying to say...thank you..
is it me or does he make long songs to make a point? Most of his songs go beyond the 3:00minute point. I mean im not complaining, i love Say Anything. They rock, but does he really make long songs to prove a point? And does anyone know what this song is about? Someone reply, plz
The song is about getting stuck in doing the same things in a pattern and it being inevitable to avoid that. Even people that think they are not doing that actually are. And how by doing something simple (like breaking up a fight between cats...of course that is a metaphor) could change it, but of course he chooses not to because no matter how much he claims to hate it he isn't actually motivated to do something productive/meaningful so he says the same. And that culture of his generation.
i loooooove say anything but .. does max smoke crack? cuz he looked a little strange when he was singing .. serious question here. :| although some people just make weird faces when they sing, idk ... ?
I love it when people simply can't realize that something is a metaphor. If the only comment that you can come up to critique something is, "wtf this song is retarded" you're really wasting your time.
you all a freaking retards. max is perfect. every note he sings is sexy. thats not a cold, its talent, so suck it. and ive seen him live, he is steller. and personally, im in love with his dimples and tonuge.
ya know i think he sounds like that if hes been drinking. cuz i saw him live in october and he was getting blitzed in the bar before the show, and thats how he sang...unless that is just one HELL of a cold thats lasts months
omg some of you guys seriously thought that was an iPod? that doesn't even make sense. wireless in-ear monitor receivers usually clip on the back of the pants, but he's sitting down so he's holding it.
That's not an ipod, that's definitely his in-ear monitors so he can hear a mix of the guitars and sing on pitch, as far as him being drunk...possible but most likely he's bored doing these mini shows and adds a different rhythm to his lyrics

I love them,but you can tell that he is either so drunk he cant remember the words or something but he has an ipod in his ears and you can tell hes listening then siging!
Yeah, if you check out the other videos of him at Spin, lots of the comments say that he's sick. He sniffles a bit and sounds nasally a bit as he speaks, too.

Great music, great lyrics.
