In high school, my history class was forty minutes of power point notes, so it was easy to hide my earphones in my hair and listen to this cd, but mostly this song on repeat, and take my notes. This song reminds me of high school to the T. I love the story. I used the chorus, the best chorus in the world, "The fever, the focus..." in an art project. I screen printed the lyrics onto my sweat shirt and I think my art teacher stole it from me because of the content. I still have my screen though.
I think it's "SHE keeps HIS hands pinned down at his sides." because really how can he keep his own hands pinned down. holla fix it bitch. It's gonna bother me until you fix it.
i was supposed to see them in concert about 9 years ago, i bought my ticket and everything and then my grandpa passed away. so the night of the concert i listened to them on an airplane on my way back to my hometown. talk about depressing.
No, this is a literal song about sex when you're still in a boyish mindset. Me vs Maradona vs Elvis is the sex-as-a-metaphor-for-the-music-industry song.
I became a Brand New fan after seeing them support Incubus in 2004. I went and bought Deja Entendu from the merch stand between the two sets despite never having heard them before that night.
Brand New is such an underrated band..almost all "real" music nowanddays comes from the lesser known bands..
I'm also an artist trying to achieve my dreams. I just did a cover of "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot" .. it would mean a lot if you would all check out my page and thumbs up this, even though you probably won't.. thank you for anyone who does support.
Wow! Hell yeah! Love Brand New! Been listening to a lot of Brand New, Hey You!, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Blink-182, and No Doubt...
Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaaaaaay dope. Pop/punk/rock with a real cool edge to it. plus, they have a hot chick singer too :-) ....check em out...
@tabikat13 More specifically a guy losing his virginity to a girl who could give a fuck about him. He regrets it like immediately after. He wishes it was a girl he was in love with.
Point A) of the song being: don't give it up to someone who doesn't love you/you don't love, whether you're a guy or a girl.
Point B) of the song being: girls can be shitty too.
@AngryMuffin822 if you watch the video, it almost gives the idea that it's about control. that love can control you, or in this case what you think is love can.
@WESTCOAST6789 Not...really... "A hand moves in the dark to a zipper." and, something about his friends telling him about it but him not being prepared. It's kind of shouting, "SEXY TIME." Just saying.
I didn't reallize exactly what this song was about until I really read the lyrics. It's actually somewhat disturbing. A kid put in a regrettable situation. It makes so much more sense than the music video for the song does.
@CrossingScoville The music video shows all of the other guys that the girl in the song victimized. It is supposed to symbolize all of the other men vying for her attention. They copy Jesse Lacey in the video because they want her to notice them again. That is how I interpret it at least.

wicked song :D so many people mistaken it to be a a7x song and im like wtf is wrong you people :P. a7x is awesome too tho:Pm it just doesnt sound like them
We listened to this album at work last night. This song is what caught my attention. I'm diggin these guys.
This is the kind fo band I usually wouldn't be into just because of the labels thta go wiht it but I give up on labels. if it sounds good to me I'm listening to it.
@thefunkyfighter jeaah! but the weed is great and so is the peanut butter. But I'm no expert on the peanutbutter thing, is it more delicious in your country? :'(
This is the kind of music that I wish I could... while it's really hard to put into words. It's just so amazing that i wish I could tributize it in some way.
these lyrics are really intriguing, its such a play on the age-old concept that the guy is making the sex happen and the girl just isn't ready for it, but the male in this song seems to hate it so much.. Its a really good song and its easy to see why they hit it so big in such a short time.
It used to be the reason I'm breathing, now it's choking me up.

"This is the first and last time," he says.
She fakes a smile and presses her hips into his.
He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides.
He's holding back from telling her
exactly what it really feels like.

@theassortedjellybean Definitely "he keeps his". In this case pinning is the act of keeping them from moving not by physical force but by mental.
If you were an awkward boy not drunk enough to know how to lose your virginity it's how you would react.
