The other day, my friend and I were discussing how Doug Robb from Hoobastank is very similar to Brandon on stage. We've come to the conclusion that there was a fall out between them because of the way people were always comparing them. Leech soooo fits in with this matter I think. Does it make you envy? Does it make you proud? To tuck the world into a paper bag This body's state of "I'm ok, you're not ok" Yes, men too could be on the rag I'm over my head I need a pick-me-up Its easy to get high when you're standing on our backs, man Would anything ever be good enough for you? Stand on your own, hold your water if you can The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself? The ride's over, fair thee well The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself? The ride's over, fair thee well Not on my time It isn't fair to mention, but it awes the crowd Your fictional, plastic alibi So take another hit, steal another line Did you ever meet a leech who was good at goodbyes? When you were down i always picked you up Why didn't I recognize that everything was never fine? I'm kicking myself that i shared spit with you So fuck yourself And fuck this bleeding heart of mine The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself? The ride's over, fair thee well The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself? The ride's over, fair thee well Not on my time When you were down i always picked you up Why didn't I recognize that everything was never fine? I'm kicking myself that i shared spit with you So fuck yourself And fuck this bleeding heart of mine The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself? The ride's over, fair thee well The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself? The ride's over, fair thee well The ride's over What do you guys think? I think by saying "the ride's over", he's talking about the world tour they did with them in 2002. Hmmmmmmmm....
Its easy to get high when you're standing on our backs, man Stand on your own, hold your water if you can - Incubus helped Hoobastank a lot! It isn't fair to mention, but it awes the crowd Your fictional, plastic alibi So take another hit, steal another line
I think youll find its very much about a friendship/love diesing rather than nooberstank... but could be you never know.Brandon puts much depth into his lyrics. However this is one of my least faves from their new album, nothin beats the older stuff yet i do love the new albums too. The Lyrics on Science had a lot more depth to them than a lot off of makeyourself and morningview (although both fantastic albums in their own right) And Fungus Amongus is good considering they were just finding their feet. Tell you what though live they are AWSOME!! (they are my fave band )
