TBI have taken a turn for the rock. Already Decatur celebrities, Josh and Eliot are expanding more every day. But in spite of their new rock sound and growing popularity. They still have the local folk scene under their belts.
They can do anything from putting tears in your eyes, with songs such as Every Little Piece Of My Heart or Didn't See The Change. Or they can split your sides and put tears of laughter with Angry Lesbian or The Narcoleptic Nymphomaniac.
Whether they will at some point play Hampton, or they stick to playing Eddie's Attic. With a new album in the works, The Brilliant Inventions is a name that you will here around Atlanta for quite some time.
Weak
The Brilliant Inventions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not the kind of guy who falls
Blue sky and not too many worries
It seems a line has just been drawn
I saw you in the candle light
Smiling just like kryptonite
Cause you make me weak
I can't speak
Thinkin' about you, weak
I believe I can't leave
Now that I've found you
I take all my vitamins
And I drink soymilk every day
My will's just about to break
And I can not lift my body weight
Every time you come around
I know I'll be going down, going down
Cause you make me weak
On my knees
I can't speak
Thinkin' about you, weak
I believe I can't leave
Now that I've found you
Now I know I'm no hero
No I'm not made of steel
I can't give you everything
But I can give you something real, something real
Cause you make me weak
On my knees
I can't speak
Thinkin' about you, weak
I believe I can't leave
Now that I've found you
The lyrics of The Brilliant Inventions' song Weak speak about a man who is usually strong and resilient, but becomes weak in the presence of a woman he is attracted to. The first verse sets the context of the song where the singer explains that he is not the type of person who falls easily for anyone, and that he has a generally optimistic outlook on life. However, he is drawn to a woman who he saw in candlelight, comparing her to kryptonite, a substance that renders Superman powerless.
The second verse reveals that the singer has been trying to keep healthy by taking vitamins and drinking soymilk, but his resolution is faltering. His attraction towards the woman causes him to feel weak, and he cannot resist her charms. He acknowledges that he is not a superhuman and cannot be a hero for her, but he can offer her something real. The chorus is a repetition that emphasizes his vulnerability in her presence.
Overall, the song speaks of the power that attraction and love hold over people, and how they can make even the strongest individuals feel weak and powerless. It shows that sometimes, it is okay to let our guard down and allow ourselves to be vulnerable in front of those whom we love.

Cool video. Although it definitely doesn't take a genius, to figure out most of this stuff. A 125 IQ is more than sufficient.

Wow! Inefficient ways to do things that don’t are not needed. I’m certainly impressed!

You mean, useless things like extra words in a sentence that make absolutely no sense and nobody needs? Like, oh, I don't know....like "things that don’t are not needed"?
