I do love MYM for what it's worth which is weird because I've always liked the slow to mid-tempo songs better through their career. I like the lyrical content of MYM but Lighning Bolt is cheesy. It's the same reason I couldn't get into Love Boat Captin. The fact that he's says that in the song kills it for me.

She comes down like a stone
But she don’t know where from she was thrown
Like a hurling meteor, from miles high
She’s looking for a place to land
She said “You got yourself some sand”
And whatever you’ve replied she took as ...yes
She comes after me
With her newly planted seeds
And soon you’re thrown down on your knees, and then you’re dead
Then before you know, The weeds are obesely overgrown
With All the wild seeds she sows in your sleep

You gotta know you’ll never let her go
She’s a lightning Bolt, Lighting Bolt, Lightning Bolt

Always something, never nothing
Isn’t that the way we’re taught to dream…. to dream
Oh looking through the worn out pages and stages
When you knew not who to be…yeah! YEAH!!
Until the lightning strike SETS!! you free! YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!

You gotta know you’ll never let her go
She’s a lightning Bolt, Lighting Bolt, Lightning Bolt

Crashing stormy waves erode her shoreline everyday
Until the castle of her ways turns to sand
Then before you know, The weeds are obesely overgrown
With all the wild seeds she’s sows in your sleep

And with no repair in sight there is
No God with such might
As you open her world.. wide with such a view.
And Your efforts to arrive
As she finally decides
That all her problems, they will die with you

She’s a lightning bolt
Never let her go

Weewhoo!

We had pretty much the same lyrics. I adjusted just to show the differences, mine are in bold. The rest were the same.

I also find myself enjoying MYM more and more. Future Days is total blah. But two out of three ain't bad.

Seriously, is no one reading the lyrics the same way as me?? They are far from bad FFS!

Walker Bait wrote:I don't know.....I'm lovin this song. Maybe its because I can relate. My girlfriend for the past several years whom I love dearly is for lack of a better word....crazy. When it started it was unexpected and wild and fun and full of "lightning" but as time went on things have just kinda turned a little nuts and I don't know if it can be repaired but I know that I love her and she loves me as unhealthy as it might be...not violent or anything like that...maybe kinda toxic though. But I have no intention of leaving as stupid as that sounds. "You gotta know I'll never let her go, shes a lightning bolt!" So I can relate to the message that "I'm getting from the song anyway, and I think it's catchy as all hell. She got a kick out of it.

I'm pretty sure when Alive came out, the lyrics didn't make much sense and if anything, people believed it was a celebratory song.
