No Picture What?Me Worry? Wanna Be	#1 by What?Me Worry? at Apr 13, 2006 at 4:35 AM EST
	Ahab fires his pike into the crooked brow of Moby Dick provoking his flukes to crush the Pequod as he and 20 other sailors aboard 4 dingy's watch their traveling vessel sink to the depths. As Moby thrashes and rolls, taking with him the harpoon boats and the whalers, the rope holding Ahab's Lance loops his ivory peg and ties him to the diving beast. Physeter Catodon, Sperm Whale, are the deepest diving mammals, also claiming the largest teeth on the planet. The avg. size is 90 ft. Moby Dick was 300 ft. drawn to scale with the 120 foot Pequod.

No Picture Aron Wanna Be	#2 by Aron Georgsson at May 31, 2006 at 8:16 PM EST
	I think this song is about a sinking ship, where the hull has been breached and it's sinking to the bottom of the sea where it'll stay forever, and there is only one survivor who's left floating in the ocean amoungst the wreckage. "Taken down with hearts alive" refers to all the men who drown as it sunk, and the first verse talks about the ship sinking to the bottom of the sea. The chorus is about the lone survivior who's left alone in the emptyness of the ocean, "time and space, all alone, it can be a lonely place". The second verse is about the lone survivor swimming back to the surface. It's an amazing song, and pretty scary when you think about it, very atmospheric.
