How is this sad. I looked up the lyrics and I don't see how it's sad at all, and I if there is anything the least bit sad about a song i can usually pick it up :P
@sadiew1990 A friend of his died. He can only talk to her, soar with her and see her in his dreams after taking 6mb of melatonin. His brain doesn't produce any because of insomnia due to depression. The ending is the saddest. He pulls the plug on her life support.
@173logan I hope you realize just how ridiculous you sound, getting so upset just cause I didn't understand what a song was about :P Also, I'm not a man, so I don't think I'll be writing any songs about "my dick" anytime soon. Not that your comment even has anything to do with the topic at hand. Is impotence really the best you can come up?
@bogeaqYT its not just the guitar that makes that much of a distortion , their keyboardist (or whatever you call that person working the keyboard) adds alot of the background distortion/mixed ambient sounds. if you watch their studio sessions the keyboardist really breaks out everything during each of the silversun songs
I started listen to silversun pickups for 2 years ago. I got stuck in the song "Lazy Eye" when I heard it on Guitarhero. I listened to it over and over again until I needed more. Thank god for google being my friend.
i must admit i am a firm believer in the fact that a person HAS to, (as crazy as this world is today), alter their state of consciousness at least once a day;) Yea i take melatonin every night....10 mg time release & then another 10mg's about an hour or later. Helps me sleep. I also that Theanine, 100mg.,(the relaxation amino acid), & 2 antihistamines/benedril or the such). I can let go & sleep like a baby. no funky dreams. I think you can over do the dosage for adverse effect. Experiment.
@yourgirlchloe I take theanine cause I'm trying to kick my marijuana addiction because my health has become really bad. I was recently diagnosed with a rare auto-immune disease. I read somewhere that the theanine from green tea extract helps fight the cravings.
@yourgirlchloe or you could just lean back and pack a bowl of the finest green plant around , much nicer and cheaper than melatonin. it smells better too
has anyone here actually taken melatonin? that shit knocks you out and gives you crazy ass dreams... might have to take more than the SSPU recommended 6 mg though...
@Flammin5s mind explaining the story? I read the lyrics... is she a ghost or something? I don't understand the story. I'd love to know though, since I love this song!
@freakinalecks The way I interpret the lyrics: His good friend dies and the only way he can see her again is in his dreams. Melatonin is a chemical found in our brains that helps us sleep and you can take capsules of it as a sleep-aid. (Melatonin makes me have more vivid dreams personally..) So when he says "after six milligrams' we're talking again" he took two melatonin pills and is seeing his friend in his dreams. It's a sad story but it's one of my favorite SSPU songs for sure.
@Flammin5s Thanks :) I know what melatonin is (I was actually prescribed it for a long while but it made me extremely itchy...) And yeah, that sounds right. I love this song as well. :) Beautiful, yet sad story. I'm writing an essay on "Three Seed" right now. I have 3 different interpretations. :) None of them are happy interpretations.. lol
I discovered this band only at the beginning of last year. I introduced their music to my friends and they just thought they it was weird :| but now silversun are touring with MUSE! haha, what do my friends think now? :D
Terrific song. I'm #17,966 on 2/16/2010. Five stars. Word-of-mouth alone is powering SSPU to stardom. No American Bandstand. No Midnight Special. No Friday Night Videos. No Top of the Pops (British version of ABS). No Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. Those powerhouse publicity machines no longer exist. Music fans, stop comparing them to The Smashing Pumpkins. We're seeing something that hasn't been seen in a long time: A band that can sell records without any help from The Machine.
He does sound a bit feminine for sure, but much of the time the female bass player is backing him up on vocals, so it gives it even more of a feminine sound.
When I saw them in concert in August, they were able to replicate the tone of this song very well, and it sounded amazing listening to it through the giant PA. Though at the time I was insanely high as well, that may be a factor, but it was still cool.
Who said I was trying to be cool? I like to get high, who cares. I was just saying that I was at the time and it sounded amazing. I listen to them both high and sober. I've been to their concerts both high and sober, and I have enjoyed it either way.
@ledzep88 Sorry i misunderstood you ...but i just hate when people say oh listen to this song high it makes it soo much more amazing .. DOES IT FUCK!!! thats like saying i have to be drunk to have a good time .. by the way im not directing this at you but to people who type those comments.. Sorry
@JonnyRakeRemix Hey, I have absolutely nothing to do with this conversation at all, but I wanted YOU to know that I smoke a LOT of cannabis. Not for any particular reason, just for you to know. SSPU+THC=bliss.
Why does everybody think the lead singer sounds like a girl? I thought it was a guy before I ever even saw what they looked like. great band by the way.
I'm not gunna lie..the first time I ever heard Lazy Eye I was confused..I thought that some guy just randomly came into the song. Then my friend told me it was a guy singing the whole time, and it made more sense to me. ha
What is this song about? i love it. i know melatonin is used to go to sleep. If u have adhd like me it makes you hyper though. Also, i know your brain makes it naturally but if you take a capsule frequently it stops making it and i guess you can't sleep.maybe that's what is about.
