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.
This is my story both humble and true,

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.
