Here In My Room Lyrics

This party is old and uninviting
Participants in black and white
You enter in full-blown technicolor
Nothing is the same after tonight

If the world would fall apart
In a fiction-worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing
Now that you're here

Love is a verb
Here In My Room [Repeat: x3]
Your love is a verb
Here in my room [Repeat: x3]

You enter and close the door behind you
Now show me the world seen from the stars
If only the lights would dim on winter
I'm wary of eyes upon the skies

If the world would fall apart
In a fiction-worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing
Now that you're here

Love is a verb
Here in my room [Repeat: x3]
Your love is a verb
Here in my room [Repeat: x3]

Tractor beam into your incision
Spinning as free ? vicious world
I came here expecting next to nothing
So thank you for being that kind of girl
Kind of girl [Repeat: x10]

Here In My Room

This is about a guy who goes to a party and has a one-night-stand. The party is "Old and uninviting" until a girl shows up "In full blown Technicolor." She lightens up everything: "You enter and close the door behind you... now show me the stars as seen from the sky." The repetition of "That kind of girl" at the end indicates that she is a girl who will have sex with a guy after just meeting him.

The alternate title to this song is "Pink Tractorbeam."

Pistola Lyrics

On the tip of my tongue
An offensive is poised and rearing
My intention: a bullet
My body: a trigger finger

And my pen is a Pistola
I don't need to fear you ?

My secret arsenal
Is an infinite ageless inkwell
Its a fountain of youth
And a patriots weapon of choice

And my pen is a pistola
I don't need to fear you ?

Pistola

This song is about the ability to use words as a weapon. In the line, "My intention: a bullet, my body: a trigger finger," his intention, his belief, is the bullet that kills. His body is symbolically the "trigger finger" that writes with a pen.

Talk Shows On Mute Lyrics

Take a bow
Pack on powder
Wash em out with buzzing lights
Pay an au-
Dience to care
Impress me personality
Still intransfixed

The electric sheep are dreaming of your face
Enjoy you from
The chemical
Comfort of america
Come one come all
Into 1984
Ya 3 2 1
Lights! camera! transaction!

Quick your time
Is almost up
Make all forget that they're the moth
Edging in
Toward the flame burn into obscurity
Still intransfixed
The electric sheep are dreamin up your fate

We judge you fom
The card castle
Comfort of america
Come one come all
Into 1984
Ya 3 2 1
Lights! camera! yeah!

Come one come all
Into 1984
Ya 3 2 1
Lights! camera! transaction!
Lights! camera! transaction!
Oh

Come one come all
Into 1984
Ya 3 2 1
Lights! camera! transaction!
Ho

Your foundation
Is canyoning
Fault lines should be worn with pride
I hate to say it
Your so much more
Your so much more
Endearing with
The sound turned off

Talk Shows On Mute

This is about the mind-numbing effects of TV talk shows. The phrase, "Come one, Come all into 1984" is not referring to the year but to a book written by George Orwell called 1984, which is about a man living in a totalitarian oligarchy. (thanks, Will - Portland, OR)

Lead singer Brandon Boyd: "I was on an airplane when a talk show began playing on the TVs. I decided to start narrating for the people, which is a really great game if you're ever bored enough. I realized a time will probably come when television will watch us if we're watching it, if that hasn't already happened, figuratively or literally. It sounded like some sort of pseudo-Big Brother nightmare, so I wrote it down." (thanks, Tim - Pittsburgh, PA)

Megalomaniac Lyrics

I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen, its' unkind but
If I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone
On principle alone

Hey Megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself
Baby, just step down, step down

If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes
So you would see
That all of us are heaven sent
There was never meant to be only one
To be only one

Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself
Baby, just step down, step down

Yeah
You're no Jesus
You're no Elvis
You're no answer

Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself
Just step down

Megalomaniac

Megalomaniac means self-exaltation, and to be crazy for big things. The song is about power crazed people and their destructive behavior. (thanks, Katt - England)

The video had lots of images of famous megalomaniacs, including Hitler and George Bush. For a while, MTV refused to show it except late at night. MTV was under a lot of pressure after Janet Jackson bared her breast at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show, which they produced. They responded by banishing this and 6 other potentially offensive videos to late rotation, but this was the only one deemed offensive for political reasons - the others had too much sex. MTV eventually started playing this during the day, but before they did, guitarist Mike Einziger said, "It's ironic that this MTV scrutiny comes from an incident where someone bared their chest in public, while for the first time, our singer has his shirt on for an entire video."

Lead singer Brandon Boyd: "Lyrically speaking I know that there were a lot of things going on in and around the world and there were some very specific people in my mind coming dangerously close to having megalomaniacal tendencies and so I did my best to write those thoughts down." (thanks, Tim - Pittsburgh, PA)
