Pittsburgh
■We Are Scientists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the hints and the solid pends
All we want is to be together
All we want is to be together
Every subtle and stolen glance
Can't be anymore obvious
All we want is to be together
All we want is to sleep together
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
All this ruptures and Attica?
All this comforting decadence
All we want is to be together
All we want is to sleep together
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
I'd love to know
What else we done
Without the hope
Without the hope
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
Were only after one thing
The lyrics of "Pittsburgh" by We Are Scientists suggest that the main motivation for the relationship discussed is sexual intimacy. The singer implies that the signs of attraction between the two individuals are clear and conspicuous, but they keep pretending they are not. They long to be together and sleep together. The chorus of the song repeats this concept explicitly: "We're only after one thing." The final lines express a desire to understand what else was shared between them, likely indicating a past encounter, but without any hope of something more.
The verses have mysterious references to "whispers and promises," "solid pends," "Attica," and "comforting decadence." "Attica" could refer to the 1971 rebellion at the Attica Correctional Facility in New York, which sparked discussions of prison reform and racism. However, it's hard to know precisely what the songwriter intends to say. Still, the lyrics convey a sense of a complex and possibly problematic romantic relationship.
Overall, "Pittsburgh" seems to be an exploration of the emotions related to a purely physical connection with someone, unsatisfied by mere flings, but also unwilling to commit fully to that individual.

@Jason McGuire We need good people to be able to defend themselves and have laws that ensure it is harder for bad guys to get better weapons then good guys.

Whatever Security is employed it is important to consider this fact. The shooter picks the first ambush. If you have one or two guards in uniform, the shooter will target them first and likely eliminate them. If they are too far away to stop anything they aren't nearly as effective. I think it is best they are undercover. This also has the benefit of making your guarded space look less intimidating for those frightened of protection. I would recommend that the fact your place is guarded is boldly advertised; especially if guards are undercover. That way if a shooter is picking a place, he will be unlikely to pick your's because shooters tend to pick the road of least resistance. Having a nurturing and kind community is also key. Shooters that don't pick the road of least resistance tend to attack places that spurn them. Lastly don't disarm citizens able to conceal carry. It's just more resistance the shooter will have to immediately contend with in the mean time law enforcement takes to arrive on site. If you don't trust members of your own community to defend themselves and others, your community needs some work. That or give those willing to conceal carry instruction for this scenario in exchange for being able to conceal on site. These are trying times. I don't mean this to insult anyone or blame people. I'm just sick of these fuckers being uncontested. I hope y'all have good day. It is important to keep our chins up and forget those who want attention.

Security would most likely have body armor
