    Holy shit, I can't believe I'm the only one to choose Insignificance so far. I hummed and hahed between this and In My Tree and I Am Mine, but had to choose this one in the end (even though as complete songs I'd choose In My Tree and I Am Mine over Insignificance, as much as I do love it. While these are the best lyrics IMO - stylistically, poetically, and the gravity of them - I connect way more strongly to the other two as whole songs).

    One question about Insignificance's lyrics though: what song is "C3"??

    jukebox selection
    Lol, yeah, I know. Sorry, i guess i wasn't clear. I meant has anyone ever heard if it pertained to a specific song/jukebox? Like one of those little known PJ facts?
    well c3 is a plastic explosive used by the military so it could be a hidden double meaning

    I can't choose between Insignificance and Indifference it's too hard and I've been thinking about it for 2 days. I'm gonna call it a tie.

    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Tough, love indifference , but given fly is my favourite, moves and transcends like a wave musically and lyrically...he floated back down 'cause he wanted to share ..his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere...

    So many good songs to choose from. GTF is my favorite song right now so this was relatively easy for me.

    I know it's not the best but I think you could make an argument for Supersonic.

    Asking what PJ song has the best lyrics, lol. One of the most brilliant lyric writers in history and one is supposed to pick the best, lol. Picking the best song lyrics from a group of songs that are speaking of different subjects and emotions, lol. If you had grouped a bunch of their songs that are related to the same general topic, i.e. "religion", I'd take this seriously and consider voting. Or maybe if you said what song has the best lyrics in relation to the sound of the song I'd give it a try.
