Several individual completed songs have also been included on various compilations. These include I Can Tell There Was An Accident Here Earlier on a compilation album entitled Music on the Brain, Volume 1, Bury Your Head on the Atticus compilation Atticus: Dragging the Lake 3, Mookie's Last Christmas from the A Santa Cause: It's a Punk Rock Christmas compilation, and a remake of their previously recorded song I Wanna Hear Another Fast Song called Sleepers from the Take Action! Volume 5 compilation.
The band has managed to gain large amounts of respect in the underground scene, only recently enjoying somewhat mainstream status with appearances on television shows such as "Steve's Untitled Rock Show" and radio play of their first single Voices off the new self-titled album.
There has been a discrepancy about whether Saosin is pronounced "SAY-oh-sin" or "Say-OH-shin". It was accepted by most to be pronounced either way, but former lead vocalist and founding member of Saosin, Anthony Green, offers his explanation on the official Saosin website's "SAOSIN FAQ":
"What does their name mean, and how is it pronounced?"
Thanks to nailed shut, here is a quote from former singer Anthony:
"It’s pronounced SAY-OCEAN. And it’s a Chinese proverb from the 15th and 16th centuries. It means 'small heart'. Fathers used to marry off their youngest sons for money and used to tell them that they weren’t marrying for love, that their wife doesn’t matter. She could die at anytime so don’t get attached. They had to love with caution and raise their sons to be cold and unfeeling as well. I found it in the 8th grade and loved it, I used to name all my old bands that and write songs about it."
Also, "saosin" is actually spelt "xiao xin" in correct Chinese, and pronounced "shaow shin". It also means "be careful" in Chinese.
(added by ddgcreative: Just came back from a live show with Cove, the new lead singer... and they said, in front of a crowd of about 8,000 people, "we are say-o-sin", pronounced sin.)
(note by MarkoBabic: The band's official stance on the issue is that both pronunciations can be considered correct, as it was really only Anthony who stuck by the pronunciation "Say-ocean". This was mentioned in review back in September, 2006 on absolutepunk.net (full interview can be found here).

Bury Your Head

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bury your head
I was feeling fine
You'll be coming clean tonight
And I'll be falling down with you once again
Call me your valentine, call me once tonight
And I will then say it's okay
The things you've said, I'm rehearsing them
The things you've said, I'm rehearsing them
They went back on us
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up)
I could know him to come over when
It's the thought that emerges
(Take back couldn't step it up)
I could never love, your eyes have changed
Bury your head, has the child smashed you down
And the psalms will never call me again
(Fall down below)
I'll sleep tonight
(When you're okay)
And I will then say it's okay
The things you've said, I'm rehearsing them
The things you've said, I'm rehearsing them
They went back on us
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up)
I could know him to come over when
It's the thought that emerges
(Take back couldn't step it up)
I could never love, your eyes have changed
They will be the ones to see him come
Is this what you call love?
They stole my lies
You write it all
They wandered around and 'round my mouth
They stole my lies
You write it all
Stole it all
They have been the ones to see enough
They went back on us
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up)
I could know him to come over when
It's the thought that emerges
(Take back couldn't step it up)
I could never love, your eyes have changed
You'll be coming clean tonight
"Bury Your Head" by Saosin appears to be a song about a relationship that has ended or about to end. The chorus repeats the phrase "Bury Your Head" emphasizing the desire to escape, hide or avoid the pain of the situation. The first verse describes the singer and their partner, saying how they were fine, but now his partner is going to come clean about something which will cause the singer to fall down with them again. Despite this, the singer refers to himself as their "valentine" and is okay with it. In the second verse, the singer seems to be rehearsing the things his partner said, which may imply that he is trying to find meaning in them or understand them.
The third verse speaks about the lies that were told, and how they were stolen by others who wandered around their mouth. It seems like the lies and deceit have contributed to the end of the relationship, and the singer wonders if what they had was even love at all. The final chorus repeats the line "They went back on us" and "I could never love, your eyes have changed," emphasizing the feeling of betrayal and heartbreak.
Overall, "Bury Your Head" is a song that captures the pain and emotions that come with the end of a relationship, where one person feels betrayed and hurt by the actions of their partner. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is trying to understand and deal with the reality of the situation while also wanting to hide from it.

Bury your head
Avoid facing reality or dealing with a problem
I was feeling fine
I was doing well before something happened
You'll be coming clean tonight
You will admit the truth tonight
And I'll be falling down with you once again
I will be hurt again because of your actions
Call me your valentine, call me once tonight
Show me affection and contact me tonight
And I will then say it's okay
I will forgive you and everything will be alright
The things you've said, I'm rehearsing them
I am repeating the hurtful things you said to me
They went back on us
They betrayed us
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up)
Unable to face the truth and rise up
I could know him to come over when
I expected him to visit when
It's the thought that emerges
The idea comes to mind
(Take back couldn't step it up)
Unable to retract words and move on
I could never love, your eyes have changed
I am unable to love you anymore because you are not the same person I fell in love with
Has the child smashed you down
Did the experience crush your spirit
And the psalms will never call me again
The religious songs and beliefs can't help me anymore
(Fall down below)
Sink into sadness
I'll sleep tonight
I will rest eventually
(When you're okay)
Once you have accepted the truth
They will be the ones to see him come
They will witness his arrival
Is this what you call love?
Is this how you equate love?
They stole my lies
They took advantage of my dishonesty
You write it all
You reveal everything
They wandered around and 'round my mouth
They kept asking questions and probing for the truth
Stole it all
They took everything
They have been the ones to see enough
They have seen everything they need to see
