Exaaaaaaaaactly. Which is why I said the title wouldn't be relevant at all if it were "and" instead of "in".


That doesn't show why it wouldn't be relevant. They're two different statemens, that mean different things. They're both relevant though.

If it were Healthy and Paranoid Times, it would be unclear if it were healthy and paranoid at the same time, or different times.

But wouldn't that be the point? To be ambigious? Allowing the buyer to come up with his own meaning (sounds like OLP to me).

I think the point is I just woke up and I can't believe we are still arguing this. You're an ambiguous! And on top of that I vote that you lose. End of debate. I win.

ok don't mind Matt right now lol

OLP is not that ambiguous. Sure in the past Raine has tried to be all mysterious about what his lyrics mean but for the most part they are very straight forward and any grade 9 english student could dissect their meaning. They just take a line from a song and make it the name of the cd. Or they go one step further and just name the cd after a song, or a book. I don't really know what is ambiguous about Clumsy, Happiness is not a fish that you can catch, Spiritual Machines, and Gravity. Naveed is ambiguous until you know what it means and then you're like, "well that was easy". People tend to give the band a lot of credit for being deep and profound, especially pre-Gravity. Lately I haven't bought it.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

I still think the title is because Raine is a vampire.
