Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture AJ Wanna Be	#1 by AJ Harrison at Feb 13, 1974 at 10:25 AM EST
	Great song, I listen to it a lot when I'm stressed out. I kind of took it as almost hoping to just run away from life for awhile - the past, the present, the future. Just get away from the everyday frusterations for awhile - some stemming from the past. Just my thoughts!

	i love this song!!!! the lyrics are brilliant!!!

No Picture Tom Wanna Be	#3 by Tom Miller at May 28, 1977 at 8:34 AM EST
	This song just means basically what everyone else is saying.. running away from problems. Running away from things you can't control or change. At least that's what I think because whenever I'm in a situation like that I think of this song.. because instead of admitting that everything is going out of control.. it's just easier to run away from it.

No Picture Anorexorcist Average	#4 by Anorexorcist at Dec 11, 1982 at 12:56 PM EST
	I LOVE the bit near the end: "Just washing it aside, All of the helplessness inside, Pretending I dont feel misplaced, Is so much simpler than change" It's so true- when something happens, you just wanna forget about it instead of having to deal with it and pretend you're okay. Mike is an amazing MC, and Chester has a great voice! He really can scream!!

	I agree with that last comment, have you ever tried to say that the way Mike does? It's quite difficult to keep up at that point, he's definitely one of the greats at what he does, he always manages to capture the tone of the songs.

No Picture robert Professional	#6 by robert cunningham at Nov 22, 1986 at 7:18 PM EST
	this is pretty much just trying to start over though you know it all comes back to bite you in the ass...

No Picture Diego Wanna Be	#7 by Diego Samanamu at Mar 22, 1987 at 1:48 PM EST
	I don't really like this song. I mean, it sounds good, but I don't like the lyrics.

No Picture Clark Lead Player	#8 by Clark Neal at Jul 26, 1987 at 8:16 PM EST
	Once again this song I can so relate to and it scares me......its like they know my problems.Or as if they know me from the inside....looks around and gets paranoid

No Picture Gritch Wanna Be	#9 by Gritch wefwe at Nov 27, 1988 at 6:32 PM EST
	To me, this song is about pushing away your past. Something horrible happened, so you "run" from it, instead of facing it and overcoming it. But in reality, all you want to do is erase it. Erase the guilt, pain, and everything else. But you can't. So you avoid it.

No Picture [ash] Wanna Be	#10 by [ash] at Aug 20, 1992 at 2:14 AM EST
	The line "It's so much easier to run/go" has been stuck on my mind for quite some time but just today found out which song it was. Anyway, it's a great song about not thinking of all the shit going on in your life.

No Picture absinthe minded Rhythm Player	#11 by absinthe minded at Jul 27, 1993 at 7:14 AM EST
	"If I could change, I would Take back the pain, I would Retrace every wrong move that I made, I would" i love the way that the vocals build up on themselves during that part...

No Picture Mitch Average	#12 by Mitch Macaulay at Feb 4, 1995 at 6:36 AM EST
	this song ALWAYS makes me sing along! when it gets to the 'just washing it aside..' bit i just cant help but sing along.but anyway i think its about makin so many mistakes you wish u cud turn back time,re-do everything and how much its hard to change everything you have done you would rather run away n pretend it never happened.because in many aspects of life it is very hard to forgive and forget,people bare grudges and everythin about your past just makes u cringe,i love this song so much because ther isnt ever a time that i havent ever wanted to change something about my past,id rather wish everyone would forget about it yet failing to prove myself any longer.top song
