i honestly like both i dont see why either one is better than the other. Both are well written and have their own mood. There are so many differences between them its like they are two separate beings and i love it. Like twins the two versions may have come from the same DNA but with different personalities. Simply amazing
Makes me actually question whether or not they just got lucky with this song and if they actually have talent, if they really think their newer version is an improvement over this version
email this to me! im from dallas and im soo used to hearing this version of it when they played it on the Edge!! reminds me of when i used to walk the halls of highschool my senior year with my sony radio cause i was too poor to have an ipod. lol...oh 2005
my cousin dated the singer way back in the day when they first started. actually got to watch them practice this song. the original version is still the best
Wow. It really is SO much better than the new version. Why ever did they change it? It's got a nice creepy vibe to it that the new version misses entirely. Thank you so much for posting it. ^_^
thank you SO much for posting this.. the new version is so .. ugh.. bad compared to this.. they totally took out the line "I can't be seen with you, you freak.." and other stuff.. it's insane.. this version is Amazing! Thank you.. thank you
@4everdeathnotelover This song is a conversation between two kids. The verse is the rude kid making fun of the kid with glasses and braces. The chorus is the kid with the glasses and braces telling the other to stop picking on them, that inside they are the same.
I don't understand why the new version is "Crap"... I mean, yeah. This one is absolutely better. But that doesn't mean the new one is crap. In fact, while the lyrics suffered, I think that the vocalization in the new version is better.
personally as i see this song.. she's talking to her self [old self] and a boy who was [is] her friend..
i guess she had glasses, braces, wore a dirty dress, and big hair..
but she changed and shes telling the boy [matthew?] that she "cant" be seen with him cuz shes changed [but shes just like him still] and he hasnt changed..
shes conflicted between wh she is andwho she was..
the first time i ever heard this song was when they opened for brand new in 2003 or 2004. im so glad to see someone actually have this video on here! its so funny, everyone ive ever met thats "sooooooooooo in love with eisley" has "never even heard it"! the original version of this song completely dominates the up-beat version.
i love eisley, their music is so soft and peacefull, and original, plus their songs are awesome to make amvs with ^^ i might make an amv with this song...either, elfen lied, blood+, or bleach, ...or fma, or maybe even flcl
thats the point. shes singing about how most people feel when they see someone crippled or that has a quirky appearance. because thats the natural reaction to something you see thats strange or weird or out of the ordinary.
but its pointing out that even people that are "different" have feelings.
pointing out we're not really different at all inside. -3-
"please don't make me cry. please don't make me cry, I'm just like you I know you know, I'm just like you so leave me alone."
I still have this album.... I'll never forget the night i saw them at the revelation room in canton texas.. i fell in love with the singers.. so beautiful..
she loves him but can't accept it bc of whatever reason but she knows that he knows the real her and knows how to hurt her and shes scared that hes gong to yet confused about how she feels and trying to work through everything at once or at least thats how I take it lol
@LedZepRocks4ever It's about a boy, who did suicide because he got made fun of and he had not even a single friend. "telescope eyes" means glasses, and "metal teeth" means braces, thats how i put it as :)
@sofia210 hey could you get this song to me too by chance? I really like it and I work at a daycare where the little girls play stuff like miley cirus and i think they would be into this.
Could it be the reason the singer looked so uncomfortable in the end of the recording session for the newer version is because they had to change it? It seemed to me she wasn't very happy.
This is the best version, though some of you have claimed it was more "mean" i say it holds more truth. It breathes more meaning and it represents something greater than just a good song to listen to.
so recently i found in borders eisley's room noises 50% off, so i bought it and as i listened to telescope eyes, it was different. it pissed me off, now listening i miss this version and would gladly pay to find this version somewhere :(
This song is so awesome. this is the way better version. I know what its like to be hurt in the sense like the song. Personally i take it farther than just kids getting picked on, but literally just living amongst different people. Most people are quick to rule someone out just casue theyre different.
I read somewhere that the reason why they changed it was because of the "Dear Matthew.." part. They wrote this song for someone they knew who died -- i can't remember if he committed suicide or if he was murdered for being different. His name was Matthew. The family had asked that Eisley refrain from using it in their song. That's what i've read; i don't know how much of it is true.
