240. Like Suicide vs. Zero Chace

[LoathedVermin72]

Sorry I choose life

[PHATJ]

This interpretation of the lyrics is best:

General Comment
Everyone always thinks Chris' songs are about love. Well they are, but not THAT kind of love...

This one's about a crow. A crow that flies smack into Chris' window in the morning, breaking its neck in the process, and forcing him to finish it off with a brick in order to spare it additional pain.

A flock of crows is called a MURDER (yeah, a murder of crows; cool, no?). Hence, he sings, "She lived like a murder how she'd fly so sweetly... but she died just like suicide."

Let me explicate further:

"Heard it from another room, eyes were waking up, just to fall asleep." It's early and he's sleeping; he hears the crow smack into his window, from the other room. "Dazed out in a garden bed with a broken neck lays my broken gift." He finds the wounded crow outside, like an odd little gift, lying dazed in the garden bed below the window. "Bit down on the bullet now, had a taste so sour, had to think of something sweet... with an ounce of pain, I wield a ton of rage... and my last ditch was my last brick, leant to finish her." He bites the bullet and decides, out of humanity, to finish the crow off and end its suffering; he picks up a brick from the garden and does it. "With eyes of blood and bitter blue, how I feel for you." He feels really, really, really bad.

And decides to write a song about it.

Bummed to see Zero Chance going down easy this round. I think it's the better song by a good amount.

[LoathedVermin72]

It's losing to a song about a fucking dead bird

[chewm]

Birds are great

[PHATJ]

Songs about birds are even better.

[chewm]

Especially if they're dead

[PHATJ]

Especially if they're dead

By assisted suicide.

Ugh another upset..
