Alright hopefully we can get this thread goin more.
YAYM was supposed to be wishful thinking, so these interpretations are probably based on the Kings predictions of the future of the band.
Song: Genius
Album: Youth and Young Manhood
Everbody wants to be a showman , yeah they all got another oneCaleb has often talked about people in the media making assumptions, I think this could have some relvance here.
Everbody think they gotta genius, everbody got me on the run Trying to escape the pressure placed on him throug life on tour.
You cuh cuh cuh creepin creepin underneath my skin
Getting annoyed by fans, media, or even maybe bandmates.
Fuck you and you flashbulb, for snappin my picture again
Irritated by media response to the band.
e
And youre crowdin all around me like I got nowhere to go
Feeling cramped and claustrophobic(sp?) about life on the road.
EYes ar gonna roll back, Im here to kill, time for you to go, Im gonna spill, at your fast train, Ill be the kid runnin near the wheel, I aint lookin to make no deals here no
Fantasizing about letting frustrations out in a violent, aggressive way, although I doubt this would be acted upon, probably just to provide good imagery.
You keep stickin to me like a prickly porcupine, gettin your information from the grocery check out line
Again trying to explain the media's assumptions and ideas that they have already made about the band.
Are you through confessin of you little girl obssesion, cause I was only messin and I had a little time
Maybe explaining how groupies are usually "one nighters' but often get too attached to the band members.
Open to other interpretaions, opininons. Feel Free to write your own or comment on mine to keep this thread goin strong.
