No Picture Chris (a.k.a. " Wanna Be	#1 by Chris (a.k.a. "Spikes") Muhler at Jul 17, 2006 at 6:52 AM EST
	I think this song is about a part of his life thats ending, maybe a bad rerlationship with a girl, and a new one is begining and he is having a good time with these new people he meets, but it is bittersweet because he is still bummed about the other chapter in his life ending. I think this song is just saying that when it comes down to it he is happier than before and just doesnt realize it.

	Tts not very hard...just gotta use your pinky. But yea the chorus is a bit tricky on the first couple of tries.

No Picture Cuboctahedron Wanna Be	#4 by Cuboctahedron at Sep 14, 2006 at 8:25 AM EST
	I think this song is about drug addiction. It's also obviously about a girl, the fairy he refers to, but this relationship is mixed up with drugs. It says take away the tourniquet so AK is saying that he needs to see his girl when she's not on heroin so he can see something 'that i never knew in your eyes'. Also maybe to start their relationship was good but now they are both on drugs its not, I'm sure Scar Tissue talks of one of AK's relationships that is like that but I can't recall the girl's name Also another random point but in an interview AK said he didn't think young people particularly liked this song as they don't get it, but I love it! It's very powerful and I think one of the best on SA
