mewithoutYou - A Glass Can Only Spill What It Contains

[timothylaw13]

We're like children dressing in our parent's clothes... I saw them in 2010 in San Francisco. Calling them artists is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Listening to them for five years now and still always in awe.

[pinfree91]

I heard them a while back and didn't care for the style/genre at all....now I can't stop.

[DrThemoWorm]

For the longest time, I thought he was saying something like "1, 2, mystery is dead." Not sure that that'd make sense with the rest of the song though :P

[podisracer]

thank you so much for taking the time with these posts with the lyrics it is much appreciated

[bill2erica08]

Every one of their songs I'm like "What new mystery is this?" because it gets you thinking, but I think he's being sarcastic because it's nothing new - it's super old wisdom and scenarios - just packaged in a super creative and relevant way. He explains things similar to Jesus did - in anecdotes and storys but knocks your socks off - then he's there to wash your feet when it happens.

[guitarskh]

this song is great, the lyrics are absolutely amazing.

[opossumstyle]

La dispute sucks live and Listener has no rhythm and sounds mental. MwY has amazing musicans and they're all artist. They don't even compare to those bands.

[xsnokex]

@opossumstyle i heeeeaaaart listener.

[haydenarias]

@opossumstyle

Dan Smith (of Listener) has autism, you douche.

[Erieskies]

"Nobody sees me doing wrong"--. As God watches six steps away. Like arrogant prideful people thinkin they own the world.-- Sayin "no one can stop me!. No one can stop me! Now everyone watch me! Everyone watch me!".... As God chops off my legs._____my interpretation of a couple lines

[MRDUCK227]

Okay La Dispute is like my favorite band ever. Someone please explain to me how in anyway this sounds like La Dispute maybe a little bit like Listener, but La Dispute not even close!

[SincerePerez2020]

okay what is some1 comprehension of this song??

[Erieskies]

lookin at the cover, reminds me of the tower of babylon. people all around it building it from the bottom ,{fish} sea, to the heavens {sun and moon} also looks like a face overall..

[JustJoshinYa54]

"A Glass Can Only Pour What It Contains" would make such a great tattoo

[TheCharisseAcosta]

reminds me too much of la dispute :[

[dcd392]

@TheCharisseAcosta mewithoutYou has been around far longer. ;) but they're both fantastic.

[TheCharisseAcosta]

@dcd392 I like them both!

[eman12193allman]

@TheCharisseAcosta you mean la dispute reminds you too much of this...

[TheCharisseAcosta]

@eman12193allman I know that Mewithoutyou was earlier, but I listened to La dispute first lol

[TheCharisseAcosta]

@eman12193allman lol I wrote what I meant. I listened to la dispute first, and yes, I did know that mewithoutyou came out first. -_-

[butimeantlove]

of all songs, this does NOT sound like la dispute o.o

some of their songs have a similar feel, and jordan has stated they take a lot of inspiration from mwY. but thhissss song no way.

[ant33413]

@TheCharisseAcosta Other way around my friend

[TheDjdiddles]

Amazing Aaron Weis is

[ChozoSpacePanda]

[PunkGirlMaja]

OK, so I looked up this band and i like some of their stuff but not all of it, this is def my favorite and well can anyone that listens to this band recommend a song or two to me that is similar to this one? :D thanks a lot !

[ThePsybapunk]

@PunkGirlMaja "In a sweater poorly knit" "In a market dimly lit" and "The Fox, The Crow And The Cookie" are my favourites, should check those out :)

[PunkGirlMaja]

The cat thinks that when it closes it's eyes that no can see him although clearly "I watched six steps off". The peacock thinks that it is better than the other animals in the cages because it can walk the walkways but does not realize that he himself is still contained. Just because we think no one see's us sinning does not make it true. God see's every sin that we make.

[CaptainCarthex]

I half heartedly explain, but gave up peacefully ashamed. <--- That hits close to home. Some of those sign-wielding "BLAHBLAHBLAH GOD HATES EVERYONE EVEN IF THEY DONT BELIEVE IN HIM" people came to my campus, tried my best to show them they were wrong... it was incredible how they could twist God's word into such a weapon of hatred.

[o0ButtonEyes0o]

@CaptainCarthex And those, my friend, are called ANGRY ATHIESTS!!! And I hate how they all claim to be "christian". That's now what people think of when they think, "Radical Christians". Thanks, guys. :/

[4815162342lock]

Wow its like a christian version of Modest Mouse. And no, that is not an insult

[CaliforniaJoker1]

@4815162342lock I was just about to comment about how much this sounds like Modest Mouse, scrolled down and saw your comment! lol, I totally agree.

[doomisdummy]

the double on the bass at 0:52 might possibly be the best part of the song.

[scruffy1030]

wow...incredible lyrics...

[jascrystalspike]

mewithoutyou is the best band ever if you ask me. anyone agree?

[lushescape18]

We're like children dressing in our parents clothes...my favorite part.

[squeeblesinchworm]

I love how deep they make the lyrics:)

[phstewie]

@squeeblesinchworm Of every single song they do. :D

[8BitTehGameMasta]

Dear god, that bass.

THAT BASS.

[benjamin89ize]

[missionmooch]

Im going to kill everyone that doesn't click the like button.

[InvaderChrissy]

Just found this again. I'm so glad I did.

[zekeisafreak]

Frick. It's been a long time since i heard this.

[mthompson3313]

if talent is the question they're a close 2nd to coheed. but when you make bold, beautiful, heart quickeningly creative music like this that affects me this substantially--I can't help but consider these guys my new favorite
