Kiss the boy and make him feel this way. Quote, "well this is me." unquote
You have been so ugly your entire life, so why change now?
Is this how you want to go down? right before my eyes, you are the saddest sight I know. You're quiet, you never make a sound but here inside my mind. You are the loudest one I know.

The lyrics in Evans Blue's song, "Quote," express a relationship that has become strained and filled with sadness. The first verse talks about how the singer's love interest used to be enamored with them, but there has been a shift in their feelings. The use of quotes and unquotes hint that the singer is quoting the exact words that were said, adding a sense of reality and directness to the emotions conveyed. The second verse sheds light on how the distance between the two characters grew. There is a sense of bitterness towards the person who is no longer present or engaged in the relationship, with the phrase, "you don't want to know," demonstrating the amount of resentment they feel.
The chorus has a rhetorical question, "Is this how you want to go down?" that implies that the singer is questioning the actions of their lover who seems to be fading away. Here, the sadness felt by the singer is explicitly stated, which then leads to an unapologetic determination to move on from the negative relationship, represented by the phrase, "Goodbye, my soul." In essence, the song is about how one partner's detachment and lack of communication lead to the other person's hurt and eventual goodbye.

This is my favorite song off the album and my favorite song from them. I'll never forget this. I was browsing the Rock section at Tower Records in 2006. I saw this and instantly picked it up because their band name has my name in it. This was the only time in my life I bought an album purely for that reason. I'd never heard of them or their music before that. And, it was the best spur of the moment music purchase I ever made. All these years later this is still one of my all-time favorite albums.
Shakespeare in Stilettos
Not sure why, but this is my favorite EB track of all time. You can just feel and hear the pain in his voice... "well woah, it's me un-qoute... goodbye my soul un-qoute." LOVE IT!!!! (Listening to my old skool jams cuz I'm drunk at the moment... js) lol

Damn when I hear these old songs it takes me back to when I was 14 or 15. On my computer in my Room. No bills, no job, no worries only good music and video games. Good old days when I was a teen. Serious Nostalgia here.
