Passing Bird

Two things about that song:
1.-I love it! it's an amazing song
2.-In the lyrics there's a part I can't understand. it says: too much fucking emo is false I know.
emo...what is the meaning of that?

other than that...I need(I think we all) a new Katatonia album

There is a music style called emo i think, it's somehow called emocore if i'm not totally wrong with this
I can't really describe this style of music,maybe someone else here can try to,would be cool but i'm somehow sure of having heard it before. So maybe he means it this way.
But i think what Phyre wrote, interpreting it as "emotions", might be right, since i wouldn't understand the meaning of the word if it WAS meant to be "emo" concerning this emo-style, but,who knows...

It could be elmo, they probably just made a typo.

 

[Demonspell]

I think it could refer to the uber-trendy genre...the song seems to be about putting on a false identity.

yeah I thought of emotions as well but then I thought about elmo
maybe the katatonia guys are big sesame street fans

 

[in2thenight]

i think he means 'too many false emotions' in that line....but maybe it really IS elmo.....ill never be able to listen to it in the same way again!

I thought it was something to do with emus.
I thought they were false birds cos they can't fly.

That has to be it! They're just frustrated because there's "too much fuckin e(l)mo" in it, and want to force the show to change with the song!

 

[manuelgv]

maybe the black dress had a lot of elmo drawings so he can't go with her because it's a lot of elmo
maybe they hate elmo instead of being elmo fans

Emo is a form of punk. It's either punk or ska music with the basis for the lyrics being relationships, love and girls.

Jonas was probably just going for a shorter variation of emotion, me thinks.

YA i pondered the same question. What does that have to do with the song? Maybe he's saying Emo sucks.....but then i was like ohhh ya too much emotion.
