Live, Seaweed were a full-on rock experience, a bouncing, bounding post-hardcore rock outfit who combined double fast melodic punk with crunching guitars.
Card Tricks
Seaweed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
these jerks like us are cause of it
try and document the dullest corners of a life
do you feel content with better days and better moments
should i grasp a hold
rips out the sonnet where he dies
repeat nod it off
and in out place
let's create a void
under the third card
you'll find my gold
it's such a bum
the slow see nothing
see up as face less waste offs
tip the tourist hard
gave him the story worth the dime
strtch out in feeble days
better days and better moments
should i identify
the lack of a knowledge of a world
easy life resides
beneath the shell and turn the keys
aaaaaaaaay could wait so long
for better days and better moments
aaaaaaaaay
i can't do much
with these pieces of information, but I'll do my best to interpret the lyrics of Seaweed's song Card Tricks. The song seems to be criticizing the media's tendency to focus on trivial matters, calling it "printing that's not fit." The lyrics suggest that people like the singer and their peers are the cause of this focus on trivialities. The song goes on to question the value of documenting the everyday moments of life when better days and better moments seem to be what people really want. The line "should I grasp a hold" suggests that the singer is uncertain about whether to hold onto these everyday moments or let them go.
The chorus seems to suggest a desire to create something meaningful in the midst of this meaningless world. The idea of creating a void suggests a sort of rebellion against the status quo. This idea of rebellion is reinforced by the lines "it's such a bum, the slow see nothing, see up as faceless waste-offs." This could be interpreted as a critique of people who don't question the status quo or try to create something new.
Overall, the lyrics of Seaweed's Card Tricks seem to be expressing frustration with the status quo and a desire to create something meaningful in a world that seems to value trivialities over substance. The song suggests that people like the singer and their peers have the power to change things, but only if they're willing to rebel against the status quo.
