Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Adam Average	#1 by Adam at Apr 19, 1977 at 3:24 AM EST
	i think this song is an applicable metaphor for anything where you're left feeling somewhat useless. great imagery, definitely one of Jawbreaker's finest. 1

No Picture James Wanna Be	#2 by James Wareing at Apr 8, 1984 at 12:52 PM EST
	this song always felt like nostalgia for me. Like thinking about what might have been, and thinking about something particularly fond in your memory.

No Picture Ålex Jones™ Wanna Be	#3 by Ålex Jones™ at Dec 17, 1984 at 2:02 AM EST
	I always considered this song to be about hitting a repetitive, dead end of something, and having a desire to start over.

No Picture -Jessica- Average	#4 by -Jessica- at May 16, 1987 at 5:38 AM EST
	sometimes rainy days drop boyish wonder. holy god that is a great one liner!

No Picture Zach Average	#5 by Zach at Oct 29, 1998 at 6:59 PM EST
	hey hybrid.. heres what blake said it was about in some interview he was in a relationship where the girl just totally out grew him and he feels trapped in a dead end relationship (thirsty, sees the sea from high on iceplant), he wants to get back out there (i wanna learn to swim) and start over (begin again) but he doesn't feel like going through the break up, he feels stuck in a pasture

No Picture brad Rhythm Player	#6 by brad sorensen at Dec 7, 2000 at 11:51 PM EST
	in the first part, blake is talking about this old boat that doesnt work any longer, attached to an old, run-down, house [hence the 'anchored to a fixer uppers dream' line]. a man, probably older ['thinking about his pension plan'] is continuously working on it, making futile attempts to make it seaworthy. this part could be a metaphor for [something else, haha] any big investment put into a hopeless cause. im kind of thrown on the 'i wanna be a boat' portion, maybe the thought of being able to sail away, find new shores and new beginnings. i think the part after that, though, is talking about the boats beginning, how there was lots of hope and oppourtunity for it to go out to sea, but then it got put away and now will never have the chance [sold at auction, on a dolly ever since]. this part could also be a metaphor. probably it is.

No Picture Adam Average	#7 by Adam Fitzmaurice at Dec 3, 2002 at 3:07 PM EST
	one of my favorite songs by this band. the lyrics are just beautiful to me for some reason. i think it's just about losing hope. that's just how i interpret it.
