Like what... i'm kinda curious on this. I usually understand most of them. Not saying that you can't figure it out or nothing, just saying it's probably something I missed.

well of course i have my own ideas :D i was just wondering if there was an "official" meaning for them somewhere.
here are some that are giving me trouble though

the stone- he did SOMETHING and now he feels really guilty about it.

some devil- his "girlfriend" died and he wished it was him?

spoon- something about Jesus?

grey street- a 'hate' song instead of a love song dedicated to his ex girlfriend?

my mind went blank, i'll think of more later.

A very complete song tour. I dont know that all of their interpretations are right, but they give you something to think about. Click on a song's name on the list to get stats, lyrics, and an interpretation. Not to mention a list of every show the song has been played at.

As much as I dislike their forum administrators, ants has the best fansite for any band I've ever seen. Spend some time looking around there, if you havent.

dave says that a lot, sure he has his own personal meanings, but he encourages people to develop their own meanings, i know i've got a bunch, like dreaming tree, reminds me of new york city cause that was the first place i heard it, along with the whole "before these crowded streets" thing - i love that line :D
