LYRICS

Track1.
Courage
Contrary to the matter
Who you are, you are not
Come with me, I'll show you Saturn
Planets don't quite align

You should try not to be so courageous

Chorus:
I never said you were a mistake at all
You got it all wrong, you're misunderstanding

Traveled far for a lover
Who she was she was not
But honestly it don't matter
Aliens ain't Farmers

You should try not to be so courageous

Chorus

You should try not to be so courageous
These dismal moods have become contagious

Chorus



Track2.
Movies

At slow speed we all seem focused
In motion we seem wrong
In summer we can taste the rain

Chorus:
I want you to be free
Don't worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene

Two can play this game
We both want power
In winter we can taste the pain

In our short years, we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away

Chorus

You won't cry, I won't scream

In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away
And if we make a little space
A science fiction showcase
In our short film, a love disgrace
Dream a scene to brighten face
In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad, just to throw it away

Chorus



Track3.
Flesh and Bone

This moisture slides from my eyes
It glistens, it glistens
There's nowhere left to go now
If you teach me, I'll listen
A favorite time for mistakes
In salt lakes, we all shake
Consider me your apprentice
Repentant, yet hesitant

Please show me a sign

Chorus:
Come inside, kneel
Remember who built your home
I built you flesh and bone

This image comes from somewhere
Who is it? Spiritual visit
Coincidence is one thing
Overwhelming, immaculate timing
Everything we had is gone
Something new has come up strong now
I feel that I belong
And I trust you, I love you

Please show me a sign

Come inside, kneel
Remember what you hear
And I'll be still right here
Come inside, kneel
Remember who built your home
I built you flesh and bone

And I'm torn between halos, demons
All these words with cryptic meanings
Separate seasons
All these issues and mixed up feelings
And I have to choose

Everything we had is gone
Something new must come up strong now
I feel that I belong
And I trust you and I love you

Please show me a sign

Come inside, kneel
Remember what you hear
And I'll be still right here
Come inside, kneel
Remember who built your home
I built you flesh and bone
Come inside, look around
I'll lift off the ground
I snapped your ribs made a lover
So you could share each other
Come inside, kneel

Remember


Track4.
Whisper

It's my arms that wrap you up nice
It's my arms, it's my arms baby
Small rooms with record exec types
Whisper away my future lately

I'll introduce you to producers
I'll write your songs and make them way damn shorter

Chorus:
I'm so confused
This industry has made me cold
I trusted you to make me shine bright
This is almost getting old

Shock me with fear it's taking longer
Blood sweat and years will make me way damn stronger

It's my words that fail to give insight
I blame you, blame me baby

Chorus

It suits me just fine

This is the package I'm sending
These are the clothes that I'm wearing
These are the words that I'm saying
These are the notes that they're playing

I'll introduce you to producers
I'll write your songs and make them way damn shorter

Chorus

And it suits me just fine


Track5.
Summer

So you finally fessed up to her
All the lies you said
Now you kindly kiss up to her
But the feeling's dead

Several days have passed now
Darker than any damn cloud now
Liquid sunshine falls down
Harder than all the damn hounds

Chorus:
Tried to give you summer, but I'm winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard

So you always did what you wanted
We will be on our own
I will soon let you go now
Things will be all right

Several weeks have passed now
Grayer than any gray cloud
Several weeks have passed now
And it's so hard

Chorus

And it's so hard to get out of bed
She's impossible to get out of your head

Chorus



Track6.
Sticks and Stones

I liked you
You showed me
These calls must continue

Time is collapsing in my head
I built all the walls you can't come in
You were the one that called me last
I highly doubt this thing will last

Chorus:
Sticks and stones, they hurt
When you shoot them through the phone
And you dragged my name through dirt
And it hurts to be left here all alone

Elegant thoughts I will not share
My symphonic silence
I hope you can bare it baby
I liked you
You showed me
Exactly who I don't wanna be

Chorus

I'll always look for you
I'll always look for you
No stone was left unturned

You were the one that called me last
I highly doubt this thing will last
Cause you were the one that messed up

Chorus

Sticks and stones get shot through the telephone
With instant results, we're both left alone



Track7.
Attitude

Maybe I act on confused behavior
Maybe waves crash like semi trailer
Maybe I'll spend my off time without you
It seems like we need our own space

And all the time I wasted away
I don't feel good unless you stay
And all the times I chased you away
Simply to catch back up with

Chorus:
Your solitude is welcome
Your attitude is welcome

All you see is red lights behind me
Maybe this isn't what you wanted baby
I don't blame you falling backwards
No one's ever quite confused you this way

And all this time we wasted away
We don't feel good unless we're gray
And all the times I chased you away
I simply don't feel good

Chorus

All this time, we heard alarms
Come to find, we fell apart
This whole thing has crashed down, crashed down
All this time, we heard alarms

Chorus

You are welcome



Track8.
Stranded

Your waves come crashing down
Like a semi-auto trailer
I dive so deep in the sea
To avoid killer whales
A perfect moment here and gone
It has sailed
I'll use a hammerhead to drive
Rusty nail inside

Chorus:
I'm feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me
I'm feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me

Imagine if our world was blue and weightless
I never meant to do wrong to you
You're my starfish

You moan a tone so low beyond me
A telepathic sub-sonic frequency
I need a little air for emergency
You have to understand this urgency

I'm feeling the sea beneath me, beneath you
White sand beneath my feet
No brain between my ears
I'm feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me
I know that if I had one
I'd spare us both these years

I'm feeling the sea beneath me, beneath you
White sand beneath my feet
No brain between my ears
I'm feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me
I know that if I had one
I'd spare us both these years

A sea anemone, you're my enemy



Track 9.
Wish

Proud, proud is to hear it all yeah yeah
Proud ah proud, proud is to watch us fall yeah yeah
Make a wish, make a succotash wish
You live the pompous life
Throw kisses all the time
Make wishes don't break mine

Cold fire use to inspire all not now
These are tired, maybe they'll find their nitch
Or resort to wish

Make a wish, make a succotash wish
You live the pompous life
Throw kisses all the time
Make wishes don't break mine

Chorus:
Don't be low, you better watch the road
Don't be low, you got the strength and the balls

Chimes use to break my wish
Back.. won't you bring him back? Not now

Chorus

Chimes use to break my wish



Track 10.
Calico

So make it real
Just make it real

That's not a reason to fire me
That ain't no real reason
It's funny things cheapen when we disagree
If things got any worse then cheap would turn free

Chorus:
Calico cats and calico dreams
That ain't too real
Just make it real

Feel all the seasons flood through you and me
And see what trouble she's in
But that's not a reason to fire me
That ain't no real reason

Chorus 2:
Calico cats and calico dreams
That ain't too real
Just make it real
Collisions hurt and abrasions bleed
It's hard to deal when all you do is feel

Campfires swell into monsterous things
That summer heat that's winter deep

Bridge:
And all your wild winds
They couldn't stop me from flying

Chorus 2

Just make it real


Track 11.
Happy death Day

I slowly shoot these words like weapons
And go insane
I watch you drive your stupid car
You go away
You were never one to use caution
It slipped away
You know I'd love to see it happen

Chorus:
Happy Death day to you baby
I know you're flying in the blue now
We'll be together real soon now baby, don't you worry
Papa's got a brand new body bag for you

Cable cars run through my mind
Reminiscent Bay
I always tried to keep you near me
Without the pain
I love to tie us into knots
We slipped away
I tried to captivate you, on that evening
He was leaving, with the girl I'd like to kill

Chorus

And I got a fresh new kind of attitude

I slowly shoot these words like weapons
And go insane
I watch you drive your stupid car
You go away
You were never one to use caution
It slipped away
You know I'd love to see it happen

Chorus

And he ain't ever ever coming back to you



Track 12.
Smooth Criminal

As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She was sitting at the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom

Annie, are you OK
Are you OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
You OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that youre OK
Theres a sign at the window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Youve been hit by
Youve been struck by
A smooth criminal

So they came into the outway
It was Sunday
What a black day
I could feel your salutation
Sounding heartbeats
Intimidations

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that youre OK
Theres a sign at the window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Youve been hit by
Youve been struck by
A smooth criminal

Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that youre OK
Theres a sign at the window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie


Track 13.
Universe

We should have waited
We should have waited

Chorus:
We love to break the season
And you're the reason
We use to shake the beehive
To relax and rewind

See why you cry, see why you save
Your regimen is gonna die
See what you know
Let's see what you throw
Your regimen

Waiting? So
Waiting? I know

Chorus

See why you came, see why you go
Your regiment is oh too slow
See why you cry, get sting from the hive
Your regimen

Waiting? So
Waiting? I know

Chorus

See! And we don't mind
Are you sane? Are you ashamed?

Chorus



Track 14. Bonus
Orange appeal

Half the rude you brought once has cold
We send with friends
All the evil actions worked my mood on you
As the energy comes from the waves at cliffs
Moan miss
We look for leaves on the family tree
Ahthee won't sing
Half the rude you brought once has cold
We send with friends

Compare an apple to an orange like in the
Dream we seen
As the energy come from the waves at Trussels
And all this hearty fruit has made my muscles grow to what you see
Half the rude you brought once has cold
We send with friends

Will you just bend

Apples and Oranges

SONG MEANINGS

Album: ANThology
Songs:


Courage

This is about misunderstandings and reaching a boiling point in a relationship. When I wrote the lyrics, I pictured an argument with your better half. It's to the point that the girl's going to hit you, but it never actually crosses over to such brutality. I sing in the chorus, "You should try not to be so courageous," because you know that courage isn't going to last. It's like a "Jenga" game, right before the pieces collapse.


Movies (1st Single off ANThology) (1st Video off ANThology)

"Movies" is one of my favorites. It's a very honest, real story felt by everyone in the band. I compare a bad relationship to the movies. Lyrically, everything in it relates to film, like the line "At slow speed we all seem focused." My writing used to be much more cryptic, but this song is more direct and it has a happier feel. Terry wrote a cool Pacman riff for it.


Flesh And Bone

We're not the most religious people, but Tye suggested I write about God. The first thing that came to mind was bashing those fanatical people who force religion on me. But it seemed classier to write something positive about religion, something that embraces it. This song's about knowing there's something greater out there without saying exactly what it is. The Bible doesn't play into it, though I borrowed a few lines from it for the benefit of rhyme. It was challenging to write.


Whisper

Terry asked why we even named the song "Whisper" because it's a very heavy, pissed-off song. The band was going through some tough times when I wrote it. We'd been showcasing for labels and midway through the set, the record executives would start whispering to each other. We're trying to play our best, but we're wondering what they're saying about us, or if they're even talking about us at all. I don't think we were bitter, just fed up with the people whispering about us.

Summer

"Summer" is straight lovey-dovey and not supposed to be anything particularly deep but rather a cool play on words. Lyrically, I go through all the seasons. Throughout it, I say things like, "Tried to give you summer, but I'm winter/ Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard."


Sticks And Stones

Everyone has heard that saying "Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me." This is another one where I play with words. It's full of angst. I was reminiscing about past phone conversations that led to arguments. They happen for no reason, just because one person is moody. The beat is driving and has a reggae vibe to it because the bass drum is constant.

Attitude
This is my favorite song on the record. I'm not very good at relationships and have done bad things in the past. With "Attitude," I'm telling a girl that her feelings of rage are acceptable - everything she does is okay because the guy she's in a relationship with did such horrendous things. It has a cool Latin vibe.




Stranded

This song is all about the ocean and has as many puns as I could put in there. My ex-girlfriend was really into whales and marine biology. She hated me at the time, so I thought I would try and woo her with this song. It didn't work. Maybe flowers and dinner would've been better.

Wish

This is the very first song we wrote - it's amazing it's lasted so long and has made it to the record. It relays the message that people should make their own thing happen and not worry about the critics out there. For example, my thing is music, and I tell people who criticize that to create their own wish. This is my dream - they should find their own thing instead of tearing into mine.

Calico

This is basically a feel-good breakup song with a waltzy groove. I wasn't trying to be deep here - the words just sound cool when they're sung. When the guitar comes in, it creates a perfect intro for a yell.



Death Day

"Death Day" is pretty morbid, but I wrote it strictly for fantasy purposes. We've all gotten frustrated with certain people, sometimes to the point where you wish they would die. But you also realize that if they actually did die, you'd be devastated. I'm singing, "Papa's got a brand new body bag for you" - it's like James Brown's line "Papa's got a brand new bag," but cooler.




Smooth Criminal (2nd Single Off ANThology) (2nd Video off ANThology)

We're all big fans of Michael Jackson, and this cover is an ally for us. Terry and Tye were messing with it in the garage one day, and the riff screamed out to be heavy. We played with death metal bands while we were in Europe, and people would go ape shit when they heard our version. People that don't even like us like this song.



Universe

Awesome, moody, Radiohead-influenced. [Arranger] David Campbell turned it into a monster with his string section, but without making it corny. The lyrics relate to some unforgivable things I've done, things I could never share with anyone.



Orange Appeal

The title is another play on words, like "orange peel." It's made up of quick, little lines that reminded me of my childhood. I say "apples" and "oranges" in Spanish, and then refer to a family tree. Musically, it starts with nylon string acoustics, then slowly builds up. The vocals are out of key because I had a nice wine buzz on during the recording

Good (For A women) *new song on American Pie 2 Sound Track

This is a new song by aaf which was released only on the American Pie 2 sound track. This is a love song and how they have it bad... AlienAntFarm have all had a touch with love and many of the members still do. This song reflects that and it can be downloaded in the Media Section of AAFOnline.
