BF_in_Indiana Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Even with that explanation I still can not understand the connection between people being lemmings, and the phrase "Just slit our wrists like cheap coupons and say that death was on sale today." Is it part of a song? Are there other lyrics around these words that help explain what these words say because, honestly, man...I can not see the connection between that song and your even your interpretation. Could you break it down for me? Are the cheap coupons the people who always follow? Or is the wrist? Death on sale? Something in there must represent people who always follow and never lead. Seriously...I'm not just bustin' balls here. I'm serious. How do you break this down to your interpretation? 247586[/snapback] Yes there are other lyrics around it. It is from a song about being anti majority. Let me get the lyrics for the entire song, I'll post them in a minute.

BF_in_Indiana Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 You know what LA, I knew it didn't sound right, I screwed the lyrics up. "They'll just cut our wrists like cheap coupons and say that death was on sale today." Does that sound a little more along the lines of what I was talking about?

I found out that I kind of messed up the original lyrics and I reposted the correct ones, I messed up like two words but it changed the meaning completely. I see why LA was confused.

You forgot about the "I want to get into #89's pants" group. 247570[/snapback] Gotta love #89.... I always look for her at the mall.
