I just wanna know how everyone interpreted UKJ's songs... ^^

Pick 6...

Everything About You
Basically a love hate relationship with someone... they love you but you hate them and their guts and their family and everything that exists. ^_^

Cats In The Cradle
By far my favourite song. I almost cry every time I hear this and this is me we're talking about. About a father and son and the father was always away. Could symbolise any relationship though.

Milkman's Son
I read that it was to do with Dave not fitting in or being like his biological father in any way to the point where he wondered who his father was. I think it's probably to do with just not fitting in but it's funny as a random thing to say when the room goes quiet. 'I'm the milkman's son'. Which is disturbing if like me, you happen to be female.

Candle Song
Just about when you have to tell someone somthing and you can never really find the right time.

Slower Than Nowhere
Just about a relationship that's going nowhere.

Goddamn Devil
Err... Whit's cravings to be the big red dude? That little death march bit and then straight into the heavy rock bit is very Waynes Worldy.

Goddamn Devil was written by Klaus.

I never think too much about the song meanings. I'm always wrong anyway. :lol:

I posted this before, but since you seem to be interested:

I don't try to interpreted songs. Like No Desire said "I'm always wrong anyway"


When I see tomorrow I see you there
When I look around I'll see you everywhere
Your face is etched into my mind
/Milkman's Son

These three rows always sets my mind to think of a special person but after listening to all of the lyrics I was kinda dissapointed. The song wasn't about the thing I thought it was about. So I try not to think of what the lyrics actually means, I'm happier in my own world. B)

I noticed that most of my favorite UKJ songs were mostly written by dave
such as Busy Bee, Intro, Milkmans Son, Cloudy Skies, Jesus Rode A Harley, Candel Song, Would You Like To Be There...

whit and klaus and the rest of the guys wrote some great songs too

Everythin' bout you is about Farrell T Smith.

Slower than nowhere is not about relationships - the man / woman thing...

I like your interpretation of Candle Song. Never thought of it like that...to me, it's just the narrator's secret desire to get lost and not be found...

Wow, those are some of my favourites too.
God, please push me in the right direction
God, I'm hoping that you'll understand
God, I'm trying to make amends now
God, I'm asking for your guiding hand

(Not religious, just like the lyrics)
