[octopuseswillrule]

dallas looks kinda sexy...

[xXiSnOwBoArDXx]

hey guys is the band name, alex is on fire? or is it alexis? i keep telling my freind its alex "is" on fire, not alexis on fire.. am i right?

[BairdOrCarmine]

@xXiSnOwBoArDXx I had that confusion as well. It's Alexis on fire though.

[sethmjH]

@xXiSnOwBoArDXx alexis u dumb piece oof shit

[TheTony196503]

@xXiSnOwBoArDXx its all one word ALEXISONFIRE ALEXIS ON FIRE

[joelivre11]

Put a frog in boiling water and it will jump right out of it. Put it in lukewarm water and heat it; it will slowly boil to death.

Shoot a man in the head and he'll die in an instant. Put him behind a desk and give him a small paycheck; he will slowly work himself to death.

[xXiSnOwBoArDXx]

@joelivre11 like like like like like like like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nonofurbuisness1]

@joelivre11 Thats so True!!!

[RelytYDG]

@joelivre11 is that the meaning of this song?

[TTibble]

@RelytYDG Yep. He couldnt have said it any better

[MrJahka]

@joelivre11

the analogy is not actually true about the frog. but it still has a good point

[DJFartForseer]

@joelivre11 Actually, no. A frog would jump out of the water when it got hot enough. Suck my dick fag.

[joelivre11]

@DJFartForseer

The analogy of the frog in boiling water is an old wife's tale, and pretty much anyone can figure out it's not true.

It makes for a brilliant analogy, however.

[Quickman561]

@DJFartForseer is there any need to call him a fag? idiot?

[EthugsWitness]

1:01

[darkprophecy69]

WAITTT UP 4 ME waiiit up 4 mee waiiit up 4 me

[xxa7x4evxx]

13 people were thrown into boiling water :(

[KarasuSumizone]

k i no alexisonfire is a post-hardcore band, but it sounds like another genre is thrown in their music, i can't put my finger on it....

[darthkeehn]

@KarasuSumizone the other genre is called fucking awesome

[Substance33]

In the last verse(?), the line right before the four "wait up for me", it's not "between the light and shallow waves", it's "Between the lies and shallow ways".

Felt like clearing it out ; )

Inspiring song btw : )

[schnacker41]

i dont get the video... at all

[lifelineattack]

@schnacker41 hehe You need to understand the concept first.

[iDONTMINDIFIDO]

@schnacker41 its cause you're a dumb fuck. im joking but seriously its because you're an idiot

[xxa7x4evxx]

@schnacker41 because your a hoe.

[MrSomethincool]

"im not sleeping alone again tonight"

[EbonyBurns]

i seriously have no idea how bands find such weired names for theire songs lol boiled frogs?

[p8ntballmatrix0]

@EbonyBurns - This song is about people who work at the same day job forever and don't go anywhere with their lives. They keep thinking they are going to get that raise or finally hit retirement, but they never can. They're like frogs, slowly boiling away their lives. That's why the song is called Boiled frogs.

[chrisatfwilsondotcom]

@p8ntballmatrix0 Close but I think you are just restating the lyrics in the song. Boiled frogs is a metaphor. You can put frogs in a pot of room temperature water and turn the heat on. They won't try to escape as it begins to boil because they have become accustomed to the graudal heat. They don't know they are being boiled alive until it's too late. That is the metaphor as it relates to working until you die.

[lukeagex]

@p8ntballmatrix0 If you put a frog into boiling water it'll just jump out, much like a worker would if you pile on the workload all at once. If you gradually turn up the heat, the frog will just go to sleep and then eventually die.

[xxa7x4evxx]

@lukeagex thank you for clearing everyone up on this.

[lukeagex]

@xxa7x4evxx ALL GOOD :)

[radioactiveslug]

This song was awesome when they played it @ London & Toronto Ontario. I posted some vids' of their recent / last show on their tour with billy talent, the cancer bats and against me.

[tontocorazon]

This is probably my favorite song from them. its such a fucking great song.

[KillerInBlackNdWhite]

Could this song be more addictive :D

[GyroGx]

this is now my favourite song

[totalpwnage91]

the two best parts were when Wade was gunna run out the gate,but then he thought about it and just walked away.and the other one was when George ran out of the building.

[dxl99]

WOOO soundwave on monday :D:D:D

[savethepenguins2009]

I love this band.. heh... amazing! Their style of music is simply one to applaud at. :D

[krupa35]

I think we can all agree that Jesus has returned in the form of Dallas Green.

[KingerThunder]

i think we can

[AliceLivesAgain]

k so, i've listened to this abouttt, 10 times in the last hour or so. addicted much?

[vicferarri]

@AliceLivesAgain i feel the same way about rough hands

[mrskyeguy]

@AliceLivesAgain same

[Turple4]

@AliceLivesAgain what did you do the other 10 minutes? oh wow 10 months ago. haha

[patback16]

@AliceLivesAgain nah not really i have listened to the song on repeat for about a week and my play count is 229

[chr0n1c4]

@AliceLivesAgain 1256 plays on itunes? (:

[AliceLivesAgain]

@chr0n1c4 You have me beat there.. lol.

[chr0n1c4]

@AliceLivesAgain haha, 10 times in the last hour is still alot. (: my itunes plays are just stupid though, also got 987 plays on this could be anywhere in the world and 1318 plays on to a friend. They are still not top of the list :P it's mainly city and colour and other random shit :P

[AliceLivesAgain]

@chr0n1c4 Lmao, nice :P Don't use iTunes myself, but the amount of times I've listened to any AOF or City and Colour would probably be about the same, haha.

[FearSetsIn]

i miss the OLD alexisonfire :(

[MrDarkstar420]

Dallas would be a bitchin factory worker. I'd work for him... for free

[somerandomguy911]

@MrDarkstar420 actually, the factory workers name is Pat he just happens to look like dallas.

[Sandyvdog]

@MrDarkstar420 id pay to work for him

[gradilin]

dallas is in the factory

[jayoo1995]

gotta love them there so crazy sick o yeah alexisonfire 4 life

[adamisonfire665]

*Old man sits at his desk*

[pauliefromgoodfellas]

i think the videos about the three different people escaping or trying to from their lives, some given the chance did others didn't even when they had the chance.

[pauliefromgoodfellas]

boiled frogs is an analogy of retirement boiled frogs will jump outta boiling water but boil them slowly and they stay there til they die!!!

[AKnightWhoSaysNe]

BEST. SONG. EVERRR.

[jedimastersteven]

in the end when hes sinking, hes missing a shoe.

[thecrims0n]

4:30 the door is electric, then it's not

[99Carrot99]

nice observation lol. wonder if it was intentional

[CrissRockss]

no...there are 2 doors...look at 4:29.. the first door is electric and behind the electric door is the second door you see at 4:31..they dont show us how he get to the second door...

[hauukkirk]

[hayleywilliamsismine]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! =D

[Kababb95]

theres so much to dream about, there must be more to my life..

completely fits in with me at the moment

[krupa35]

3:30 he runs past a guard...lol GG there guard keep up the good work

[monstargibson]

sigh. Nobody watching this video gives a fuck about your opinion. :D Have a good one.

[MilkyIsSupersonic]

I guess you don't see the huge allusion in the lyrics.

[ruthnthrni]

Sorry. i couldn't understand them. what is the song about?

[MilkyIsSupersonic]

The video and lyrics allude to the fact that people don't realize gradual changes in life until it's too late.

For the title, frogs when places in hot water would jump out immediately but when placed in cold water then warmed, they would cook themselves to death. This shows the whole 'realization to change when it is too late' message.

[frontsidee9]

wats the allusion?

[xbrandon32x]

Has to be one of my favorite sons ever. Alexisonfire is soooo amazing.

[Shayanderson5]

this song is awesome. i absolutely adore this band

[KingerThunder]

i think dallas is amazing but i think u cant really compare there singing cuz there so different

[ElvisBangalter]

what does P.W. 25years mean?

[jymer]

PW is probably the initials of the retiree and 25 years the number of years working at the company?

[alabastor91]

I can pretty much listen to this song over and over again. It's straight up amazing.

[chickengrooves]

[BUFFALOBULL1314]

[fnaq1]

Each passing year

The workload grows

[thatgorillaguy]

[George] A man sits at his desk One year from retirement, And he's up for review Not quite sure what to do Each passing year The workload grows [Dallas] I'm always wishing, I'm always wishing too late For things to go my way It always ends up the same (Count your blessings) I must be missing, I must be missing the point Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise (Count your blessings on one hand) So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight

[blink182rox94]
