3. Το νοημα των στιχων του Host απο τον νικχολμς, 13 χρονια πριν βεβαια. Priceless οπως παντα.
So Much Is Lost This is a song that deals with loss in general, with the fact of accepting a loss, losing a relative, your girlfriend or your keys. Well it’s slightly different but that’s still losing something. I talk about that and the way it affects me emotionally.
I hate losing my keys. Often I can write dark and deep lyrics and sometimes petty things that annoy me can be a source of inspiration.
Nothing Sacred It's hard to get a bit of intimacy in this job. I love to have time just for myself but don't have a lot. This song is about having a safe at home for instance, no matter what it has inside : pornography, magazines, whatever. The most important thing is to have things just for yourself, that nobody can have access to. When someone knows everything you do then you're left with nothing sacred. It's a song about intimacy, about spending some time in your garden without having your neighbor spying on you.
In All HonestyIt's a song aimed at people who don't believe in God, people like me. It's more precisely about someone I know who has suddenly become a born again christian: I think it's a kind of mask to hide his nervous breakdown. Actually I think I'm against all religions. I talk about that in All Honesty. I don't believe in anything:
you live, you die. Full stop.
Harbour I talk about a North Yorkshire coastal town that quite depresses me: there are people from Northern nesty England that go down to this town to look at the sea... But it is so filthy, there are kids playing in it, it's dirty. There's a harbour and you can see the boats come and go. I like to sit there and stare at the sea. It allows one to ponder over one's life. It's a two-sided place, a positive side and a negative side and I enjoyed myself writing on the latter one. But the truth is that I really like staring at the sea. I could spend hours and hours staring at it.
Ordinary Days It's about people who have expectations, who want to be super humans. Made The Same is quite about that too: people who think they are some kind of Superman, people who don't realise that you can feel bad, that you don't have enough strength, emotional or physical, to fight against depression. Ordinary Days deals with this same subject with a different point of view: we are all ordinary people. Men born and die egal. If you earn lots of money that's fine but at the end of the day you too will die cause the day you were born you were dead.
It's Too Late When something's over, well it's over, you have to accept it, that's what this song is about. Accepting that the end of this thing can completely change your life. Bearing this kind of shit.
Permanent Solution I wanted to name this track Permanent Solution To A Short Term Problem but that sounded too much like Type O Negative. It's about how some people just remain in an uncomfortable situation because they can't find -or don't want to find- the strength to get out of it. Like these people who spend all their lives doing the same job they hate. It's a song about doing what you want to do and not what you are asked to do.
Behind The Grey It's about leaving Yorkshire. I'm proud to be from Yorkshire, but not to be an Englishman
, careful! I'm glad to come from Yorkshire cause it's a beautiful place and people are nice there. It's a quite melancholic song about nostalgia you feel when you leave this place, even momentarily. One can think grass is greener elsewhere, under the tropics for example, but at the end of the day one thinks that one would gladly go back to the grey of one's homeland.
Wreck It's about Jehovah's Witnesses that knock on your door and try to tell you all their bullshit about the end of the world. Imagine if it really happens, if during 2000 Apocalypse comes... Jehovah's Witnesses will find themselves all alone like twats on the Earth. I really have the impression these guys are mad, standing in the middle of the street shouting, trying to flog their fucking book, The Watchtower (?), pff... That's obscene, it shouldn't be allowed. Try to imagine if you'd do the same thing calling upon the Devil, you'd get arrested. That's ridiculous ! This song is about all the religion freaks, whoever they are, all those who try to make money on the weak.
Made The Same See Ordinary Days
Deep It's about the depth of problems you can have and on the ultimate problem, death... which solves everything. To me death is not a big problem, the importance given to one thing changes from one person to another: there are people who can't stand being bald!
I really like the chorus on this one. It's a depressive song with an intro that reminds me of the feeling of oppression you have in a submarine.
Year Of Summer It's an ironical title about a difficult time I've been through one or two years ago. A terrible year... I should have called this song A Year Of Shit! The irony is on the opposition shit/summer. We all go through this I guess, shit times.
(Here Aaron intervenes : "This song is featured on Carrie 2 soundtrack." Nick: "I haven't even seen the movie, what does she do, Carrie? She gets out of her grave?")
Host We have chosen this title cause I spend a lot of time on the internet and host is a frequently used word. But the song in itself is about seeing someone die... Which happened to me during the writing of the album. The person I was watching was the host of a cancer, that's the relation. That's not really cheerful...
