Also, to the creator of the video, it is actually saying, "I'm laden with a selfish fear, etc.." Laden means burdened; encumbered; loaded down. So, these lyrics are, in fact, accurate :)
For everyone who is confused about this... it is INDEED saying, "Manna is a hell of a drug". Do some research, people. Manna is the name of an edible substance that God provided for the Israelites during their travels in the desert according to the Bible. Also, it is referenced to mean, "any divine or spiritual food," "any sudden or unexpected help, advantage, or aid to success," and if you use the old spelling, it refers directly to a higher power or benevolent force found in a person's head.
This song is about his pregnant wife dying in a fatal car crash. In his lyrics he talks about him trying to convince himself she's alive when she died in the crash, how he cried when he knew she was dead, restless nights because he's traumatized, and feeling selfish because he could have died and glad he didn't. "I could tell it was over from the curtains that hung from your neck." That basically means he knew she was dead when she was put in that white bed/bag paramedics put dead people in.
i thiiiink i finally figured out what he said.. cuz Manna is a hell of a drug does NOT make any sense.. maybe he says.. "after you found out, man he is a hell of a drug"
Definition: A saccharine exudation from Fraxinus ornus, flowering ash, a tree of the Mediterranean shores, used as a laxative, especially for children. It is available as manna cannellata, a flake manna; manna in lacrimis, manna in tears or small flakes; and manna communis or manna in sortis, manna in sorts.
@codyc00lwhip hey bro I dont think hes talking about mana helping him takea dump...I think hes reffering to the mana from the bible...You know like the mana god sent to the people of isreal and moses!?! Its also said to be a medicine for the eyes so maybe hes saying mana cures his blindness to the world. Maybe im wrong just sayin
If you like Manchester Orchestra then you should love our band, "Ivy's Panic Room" Please check us out! our first live show was last night! Check out my personal favorite, "Devil Dressed in Lingerie" Thanks for the help :)
"The way that song is written is, in the first half I'm basically just describing touring and kind of my relationship with God and my wife," he explains. "And the end is about this dream I had about us being in the van and getting sideswiped and hit by a huge truck. I dreamed my wife was pregnant at the time and I lost her. But this life was inside her, and in some weird way I was able to celebrate that there was some new life coming with one ending."
great song, its about shooting up heroine with his girfriend and she falls off. ive been there. thank god cpr worked... im 32 days clean and in rehab:) no more "hot ones" for me
Hey peeps, not a fan of "shameless puns" but seems it's a must to spread yourself today. So I'm spreading this message on all vids that I love myself, figurin if You have the same taste as I do you might enjoy my own music? Sure Andy and the lads wouldn't mind? Just released a demo, check it out if ya have the time :) Take care everyone! Liam Andrew
@fishycat11 Theres no way anyone can dislike the video either, the uploader did a good job putting it all together. Those 56 people are either dumb or blind to have missed the like button with dislike :-/
In case you have not yet been told (because I'm too lazy to check the comments :P) "Laden" is a real word meaning "heavily loaded or weighed down". So "I'm laden with a selfish fear" works and that's honestly what I hear. Also, I just looked at the sidebar and found out where I first heard this song...Gossip Girl. I am so happy I figured that out and now it won't bother me. So I had to rant about it. Sorry :P Awesome video. I think you got a lot right. Love the song :)
I always thought it was "veiny with a selfish fear" (I also thought at the beginning it was "veiny to the point of tears") ...that's how i sing it in my car anyway lol ...this song is amazing.
I love manchester orchestra, this song always seems to make me cry, especially the lyrics "so i prayed for what I thought were angels ended up being ambulances"
I remember the first time I heard this song and read the lyrics, I literally froze. So deep, so sad, so loving so much that I cant even explain in words, Just BEAUTIFUL.
This song makes me feel actually human every time I hear it...True if you don't cry then you have no soul but physically crying is not necessary we all cry inside..
I think it's about his wife hanging herself. He was shaken it off in the front seat because maybe she was talking about how depressed she was. He wanted to hear her sound fine, but she was too sad. Then, the curtains were around her neck. Thats what I get from it.
if u really listen and read the lyrics, im guessing its about the guy who couldnt get drugs out of his life, and how he ended up in his own little world and completely ignored his friends and family, including the wife (im assuming its the wife) . So he was so into his world that he did not realize how much he hurt his wife and at one point, she killed herself out of dissappointment and anger. Its a really sad song. and he did not kill himself. the wife did, while carrying his child.
@KilljoyVideoGaming naaah...i think the wife hung herself. but anyway its a really sad song. actually i first heard it on gossip girl ;p never knew it had such a deep meaning.
@duchessFSZ Cant bielive such a stupid TV series (sorry but it is) picked up a song like this... anyways at 2:02 "I was shaking in the fron seat" makes me think of a car accident
. The story goes that God gave them "manna" more than enough food to survive, but He required faith. If the led group took more food than they needed just for that day then the food would spoil...and they continued to take more than they needed... enough wasnt never enough for them....
I love this song idk if u guys remember but u played at my aunts house for my cousin who passed away from cancer a couple of weeks ago her name was Anna and she was ur biggest fan and know we all r ur biggest fans ur niceness is not an act it's real and for all u people that don't like them then I don't like u(:
