Does anyone know whose point of view this song is from?

I'm leaning towards Claudio about Newo but that's just a guess. I was also kind of thinking the writer, because this album is supposed to have some things about him.

Cobalt and Calcium doesn't have the song meanings up and it's driving me crazy, so if you know what's going on in the story, please tell me.

This song is about how Claudio had to leave Erica (Court), and how he drove off, flew away, and out of his life.
He tells her that he will come back, but then that he won't. She cheats on him, and he finds out

This song... theres just no words that I can pick to do justice to just how awesome I think this song is.

"more than this I wish you could've seen my face in the backseat staring out the window"

Yes, Yes He Did. Is That What You Wanted To Hear Because He Quite Obviously Didn't Castrate Himself Before Singing This Song.

k, allow me to clear some things up here: as a musician--singer and guitarist--i have a few things to say. first of all, he did NOT have to cut his balls off to sing this song. he just has excellent range. i can sing that high and i have rather large balls. secondly, these guys are NOT FUCKING EMO. they are progressive rock and they're stuff tells a story. don't ever judge a band by its name.

There are interpretations of the songs, go to http://www.cobaltandcalcium.com/forum/t6468-Line-Line-Analysis-Songs.html

The person posting these hasn't gotten to Wake Up yet. But from Time Consumer to Once Upon Your Dead Body has been interpreted. Whether this person is right or not I don't know. But the thread is interesting.

Check the thread out...you learn alot.

This song, by itself, is great.

But this band is pure awesome not only due to the great music but itself, but include the story though the concept albums..awesome.

Modern prog at it's best

* offtopic :
they are progressive rock and they're stuff tells a story. don't ever judge a band by its name.

Exactly.

e.g. what kind of name is 'Tool' or 'My Morning Jacket'!?

and 'Rush' sounds like a name of an upbeat band...

Anyway, a band or artist should be solely judged for their music, nothing else.

First off
The guy who said the name Coheed and Cambria sounded emo
is retarded
First: Learn a little, There's a story behind it
Second: Listen to the song, it isn't Emo.
Third: I listen to emo bands, and Coheed is not and Emo Band.

Yeah and for the people who will post the phrase "get a life ass**le" before they do, i want to say that i have one, but its a boring sunday.

And Yeah, Claudio is an amazing singer. And He didn't cut his balls off, that's ¡just beyond inmature and stupid.


The interpretation to this song that i have, is that Maybe the Writer is dreaming. In some point of the story he said goodbye to Erica, before finding out she was cheating on him. So He remembers that he still loves her after all that anger in the past four songs, but he's now trying to "wake up" from all those old fantasies.
Or maybe that last goodbye never happened, and he is just fantasysing.

Sorry about posting twice, but it came to my mind, that maybe the story is returning to the main Plot. Remember that in the previous album Claudio said goodbye to newo (the character) so maybe Claudio is remembering that moment. When he told her "i'm not coming home, don't write to me". Maybe i dunno =)

I'll do anything for you,
this story is for you...


I believe that in this song "the writer" is talking about Erica Court. A big chunk of GA, IBS IV: vol. 1 is about the writer's own personal life. When he says this story is for you..., I believe he means that literally. The story he's writing is for Erica.

Nobody really knows...Claudio likes to hear all different interpretations of his lyrics.
