Good job. I more or less agree with Tom's opinions but that guy does seem a more than little psychotic. He ecourages people to think for themselves but if you don't believe the same thing as him your wrong. What a guy! Fortunately this forum exists where good points won't be supressed.

This is a great topic. [8D]

Has anyone here heard of Saves the Day? They were a really good band. They "went pop" but their older lyrics are genius.

Here are some of my favorites:

"Rocks Tonic Juice Magic"

Let me take this awkward saw
And run it against your thighs
Cut some flesh away
I'll carry this piece of you with me
Because all I can say tonight
is that I hate you
But it would be all right
If we could see each other sometime
If I could somehow make you mine
And if not I'll take my rusty spoons
And dig out your blue eyes
I'll swallow them down to my colon
They're gonna burn like hell tonight
Because you're beautiful
Just not on the inside
Light comes from within
And your beaming eyes don't seem so bright
My heart is on the floor
Why don't you step on it?
When I think of all the things you've done
Boardwalks and breaking waves
Made our Saturdays
I'd buy you lemonade right now
if you were here
But then I'd throw it in your face
And I'd listen to you cry
And I'd remember how I miss
our nights under ocean skies
You and I are like when fire
and the ocean floor collide.


"Hold"

Oh well, you've got me under your spell
and I don't think that I'm kidding around.
I don't think I can forget you now.
I once sat up on my roof and examined the planning of my town.
I saw the structured grid and pavement cutting through grass
and I remembered the cold of winter running up the legs of my pants.
I picked the nicest lawn and imagined the two of us
rolling around down along the ground.
I saw myself touch your face and I noticed jets begin to race above our heads.
But I pinched my arm and remembered how much you hate me.
I remembered the fact that I can't see what you need
and I'm too stupid to be aware of the beauty that you give this place
and how dirty this town would seem without you in it.
When you aren't around I let the shades fall down to shut out
all the sun's light and make myself feel all right.
What am I doing with my life?
Remember that the only things we need sometimes
are chilly nights and warmer thighs, 'cause there's nothing like being held.

"Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off To Heaven"

There's a beautiful sky tonight and
if you were by my side then we could share it but you are gone.
So come at me with your moon and burn me in the stars
cause nothing matters anymore.
If I could only see you now for about an hour
maybe just a minute
just to ask
What has he got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
I know blue eyes get boring but I'll wear dark glasses all the time and
hey if you want me to, I'll take a knife to my own bright eyes.
If I could only see you now for about an hour
maybe just a minute
just to ask
what has he got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
Well, I'll give you a thousand reasons that tonight
you should grant me this one wish.
Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and
now you put me through hell.
You break me up.
I should hate you, but I can't replace you in my heart.
Why am I so pathetic?
I don't get it why you won't return my calls.
Can't you look at me once?
And please if you got a minute,
enjoy this lonely sky with me.
It'll swallow us whole if we only let it.
If I could only see you now for about an hour
maybe just a minute

Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and
now you put me through hell.
You break me up.
If this sky's going to eat us then I'd like to be digested
into a million pieces with you.
I'd love to be scattered to hell with you.
To hell with you.

It seems like cheating. I listened to the free thing they gave on the site and it worked pretty well but this technology just feels very unnatural. The analogy they gave was that your brain gets stronger like a runner gains more endurance; the way I see it is that using these cd's would be like the runner taking amphetamines, yeah they improve running ability but without them you're useless. I believe I would feel more spiritually fulfilled if learned how to achieve deep medatative states the natural way and not form a dependence to technology.

I can certainly imagine myself taking part in this war thing but seriously a demon war that nearly wipes out the human race sounds pretty farfetched. I'm pretty sure war and aliens are common archetypes in the human psyche which could explain why so many people seem to have had the same dream. War symobolizes some immense challenge, aliens symbolize something foreign and demons (I think) represent the darker part of yourself. I can't explain the visions so who knows maybe all of this is for real. I guess it's better safe than sorry.
