I think it's my favorite eisley song. It's incredible. "War horses" I think of as tanks or something and "rubber-bands" the tires. But I am not sure if that's the meaning. The way I interpret it changes sometimes. _________________ -Brooke |

Heh, I just thought of it as being a huge spat between two people, and they don't forgive each other until they're in a nursing home. That's just good stuff. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |

Well, like, the first verse is the "war" of the argument, the second verse is the stubborn old people that can't forgive, and finally verse three is the forgiveness. And the chorus is the voice of reason. Sherri's knees say die. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |

I just think Golly Sandra is about an inattentive parent, who is feeling bad about not being around for their child. _________________ -Brooke |

You are correct! _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

I think the great thing about, really, music in general is that it's open to interpretation. I think it's just more or less general escapism, and, much like Marvelous Things, isn't necessarily meant to be taken literally. If nothing else, the chorus is one of my most favoritist parts on Room Noises  .
