Why is Fightstar's new tune called ''Palahnuiks Laughter''? I

[philh]

The only Palahnuik I know of is the guy who wrote Fight Club. Is it referring to some artwork, a mythical or religious figure, or what? Thanks in advance!

he wrote tons of other novels as well. i don't know the song but maybe it relates to palahniuk's subject matters & his style, perspective etc? just a guess, from a fan of the mighty man himself (no i don't mean charlie from busted!)

Fight Club is one of my favourite movies, but I'm guilty to having read none of his books. I'll try one day, honest, because his ideas are brilliant. Anyway, I've found the lyrics to the song, maybe these help?

I'm not in your house,
But not in your head,
You're not even listening.
It's so hard to know
When you're not scared.

Please don't help me,
Please don't hate me.

Stop putting me down,
Coz I won't ever understand.
I see it in your eyes
I see it in your mind.

I'm trying not to speak,
Coz you can't hear my voice,
Nothing seems familiar here.
On the other side
Of this town.

Please don't help me,
Please don't help me.

Stop putting me down,
Coz I won't ever understand.
I see it in your eyes,
I see it in your mind.

Hold On..
Hold On..

If I see this all again,
I'll try to take my time,
I wonder how fast you could try.

All this time I thought you knew
All this time I thought you knew.

Cheers, Phil

fight club is by no means his best book, read everything of his you can get your hands on!

and no real clue about the title, i've never even heard the song! though i read somewhere they had to retitle it after the original title was deemed inappropriate after the tsunami affair (note that band tsunami bomb are still around & their name is unchanged) anyway, best of luck finding a proper reason xxx

I thought his name was Palahniuk... not Palahnuik.
