Procol Harum – A Whiter Shade of Pale Lyrics 8 years ago
I've always interpreted this song as about some sort of romantic breakup, or maybe a failed hookup at a bar.

"We skipped the light fandango, turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick, but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder, as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink, the waiter brought a tray"

Basically, a man is having tons of fun with a girl, dancing, drinking, surrounded by friends, at a bar.

"She said, 'There is no reason, and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards, and would not let her be"

The truth that the relationship is over is obvious. He tries to find some way to stay with her, and doesn't want to let her go.

"One of sixteen vestal virgins, who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open, they might have just as well've been closed"

She's leaving for good, but he doesn't want to accept it.

"And so it was that later, as the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale"

She's breaking up with him in a public place, as a miller tells his tale, and she's suffering through it.

Yes – Siberian Khatru Lyrics 13 years ago
I think the last verse are made of opposites, like the idea of a Siberian Summer itself. June cast = Summer, Moon fast = Winter, the "called out" are opposite of the Saviours who lead the ones who are called out, "As one" are the stable while "Changes" are the transitory, the "moon gate" barriers and the climbers who overcome them, people with a Heart of gold stays and ones who don't are leavers, the people who "turn round" and react against at their problems and the gliders who go with the flow.

And perhaps Bluetail and Tailfly = Birds and the Bees, man and woman, which is also a big theme in the song...

Dream Theater – 6:00 Lyrics 13 years ago
I remember someone from the band saying how it was about meeting fans and stuff who said "Oh yeah I was thinking of starting a band myself, back in the day" but it never working out. Maybe the band never said that and I'm just imagining it, but to me this song is about achieving your dreams (in this sense, dreams to make music) before you get tied down by work (wood to chop), family (promises to keep), and general apathy and excuses made out of your own insecurity. All the references to music and melody and sound are pretty apaprent, to me. Like when he gets to work at 9, he can't seem to get the music out of his head.

So don't get "in too deep", so when you finally do find the sound, you can't do anything about it. Answer the call while you still hear it all in your head, because nobody will do it for you.

Queen – Long Away Lyrics 14 years ago
I think it's about a man who feels lost and alone, and feels as though he's taken the 'wrong path' in life
But then after the first solo part, he opens his eyes and realizes that he isn't alone ('his many stars above him', his friends and family etc...) and he puts his troubles away and lets his inner child play
So off he goes to live the life he's always wanted to life, Long away from his old dreary one. new beginnings!

Lovely song by Brian, one of my favorite Queen songs. Gotta love all the astronomy references too.

Queen – My Fairy King Lyrics 14 years ago
Well, Rhye was the mythical world he and his sister invented when they were children, so I think it definitely meant something to him, as well as it all reflecting his childhood and innocence as a whole.

Regardless, the idea of the multiple perspectives and narratives between these songs are just great. PursuitofLife and Lennonmercury's writeups were fantastic, great stuff. LM's #1 of Lily being the final sendoff to the world of Rhye (as well as Freddie's mythical lyrics) is definitely the most sad one, so the second one looks a bit tempting, ha.

Dream Theater – Metropolis, Pt. 1: "The Miracle and the Sleeper" Lyrics 14 years ago
I always just personally took it to mean growing up in general, the loss of innocence, and also finding someone important to you. I know there's that thing about the Romulus and Remus influence, but I don't know enough about that. And Metropolis Part 2 doesn't really have much to do with it.

The "I was told..." parts make a lot of sense, especially since the first two are so optimistic (There's a miracle for each day that you try, there's a new love for each one that has died), and the next two are so negative (There'd be no one to call on when you feel alone and afraid, when you dream of the next world you'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire). The death of innocence from optimistic childhood to cynical adulthood - everything dies eventually, it's the first dance, a constant in life.

As a child, the Everyman thought his life would be wonderful and without pain and sorrow, but as he grew up and became a man, it all caught up with him, he lost his innocence and shut himself out from the world. He essentially "fell asleep" and entered autopilot, thus making him the Sleeper. But of course, it didn't help stop his crippling fear of the world ("Yet I'm so afraid").
He hides his precious memories and personal thoughts worth a thousand words away, from both the eluding stares of everyone around him, and eventually himself as well. They're never heard of again, and he loses a bit of himself each day. He lives this fake life wearing a mask, because deceit is the second dance that everyone takes part in.

But if you, the Sleeper, have someone else in your life, a Miracle - which the first verse introduced, someone who also lost their innocence because of sorrow and pain that she was also told she'll never outgrow - and you keep their heart in your eyes, then you'll stay alive and survive in this modern human city/society of Metropolis. And it'll give you a smile for doing so, because it's the thing that confined you to each other's minds in the first place. So before you give up on life and lock the doors, realize that there's still the third dance in life, and that is love! hooray and so forth

Dream Theater – Surrounded Lyrics 14 years ago
I agree with Dave on this one, except for the ending - if anything it's a happy ending. He knows it's easier to run away, but he's been doing that for so long, he's sick and tired of it, "he's given it all he could take." He's willing to let her into his life, the "habits left to break" are the ones where he got so used to being alone. The return to the slower pace of the music can mean that he's done trying to fight it and is accepting it now.

So now as he listened to her call from the ivory tower, he's now "Surrounded in all the light".

The Beatles – A Day in the Life Lyrics 15 years ago
Media and humans in general creating a desentisized, cold society, filled with such lonely hearts (aw yeah). I love how he says "Laugh" in such a broken way, like he's about to break down and cry himself, but hey now, stop that, you're not supposed to do that, just stand and stare. But when good news happens like the war ends, you're supposed to ignore that - it's just the way the world works! But then he suggests that we "I'd love to turn you on..." Let's TURN ON, let's really start living. Right then, a nightmare sets in - aaaalmost done, but nope, not yet, alarm clock, wake up, time for work!

Paul's verse...I thought it to be a separate character, just living out his own life as well (because it's A day in the Life of anyone in particular). Normal guy, has a happy go-lucky morning, and all of a sudden BAM gets sent into a dream state, literally out of nowhere. Personally I always thought it's because he heard the news of the suicide, and goes into reflection, or it could just be the little everyday things that can just completely change a persons outlook on the world.

Then it shifts right back into John's melancholy parts, the "holes filling Albert Hall" I just take as empty, lonely people who fill up city streets. And then, the crescendo sets in again...and this time, manages to reach it's apex, before finally making an end to it all.

Is that nightmarish orchestra section what "reality" is, if they choose to ignore the fantasies we create and "turn on"? Is that final chord enlightenment after realizing the dream-like beauty of the world, or is it someone "blowing their mind out" out of depression after not being able to handle how insane the world is? Either way, both set the person free, so they both have that major tonality, but drastically change the message of the song...

Well, I guess I can go on until I pick it apart so it's even more barely recognizable, doesn't change the fact it's a very interesting, emotional, and moving song.

In short, enough of this Paul is Dead shit.

The Strokes – Reptilia Lyrics 16 years ago
To me, it seems to be about a breakup. Early lyrics replace a few lines, like "the room is on fire as she fixes her hair" is changed from "And as he walks out, his girlfriend arriives" ("just calm down, you found me")

I think the story is about a man who gives in to temptation(reptilia) and starts flirting with another girl(first verse), and ends up alone with her in a private room, and the 'room's on fire'(sexual) as she's prepping up. The guy thinks his actual GF is slowing him down and they have a fight(chorus)

Of course it's all insane speculation, much like most any Strokes songs, it's too cryptic to make much sense of it

And in your life I hope that it's the knife
That cuts life angels, and their wings drop

And can I be next to you?
And I'll be right in the next room
Tell, can I be brave?
Shit, I dunno
Cause I gotta mess up these words
But that's okay, because, because
The only thing is around
Cause it's good to be, good to be

And your emplish tongues and slice it off

On top of this, ------------------------

And can I go next to you?
And I'll beat her up some more
And I'm not going that way!

Oh my god, what the fuck was that?
I can't believe that just happened
Yes, I just, it's alright where it is
Cause he's always there on -------

It'll all be over

Sliding in the room

In my life, living life

Breathing the dragon off

And now I'll give me my home

Oh my baby don't even have a file
Don't look around cause I'm not here
Or at least I don't live in there

And friends at ease, and I walk out
It's in another Christmas trees
It's going to be nice, feel that breeze
I'm going in on stars to me
To people acting, down on the floor!
You don't let up, don't wanna let go
And I'm living in this city
And try to with stay back cause I can not,
Excited to live,

Giving it all what I got
Riding on the line
And I'll pick up a lisp off your fight
The fuckin hair must die

And I believe in America's dream" she says

They are very correct I'm farily certain of, but this is the one that they played live at Brownies, back in January of 2000. The one they rerecorded for the Fan Club later on goes like this:

+++

I was just sitting there
Time in hand I will be the one
And it's so easy darling,
Please take off and I'll be safe
He's all alone outside
And if you try too hard then you got to let go
I had it all worked out
And in the end I'll still be alone

In your eyes
And it is no big surprise
Safe in my eye sight, open up the EEEeee...

I wanted all of this
And in the end I'll still be alone
Atop your hills your face
Pass me down a look in your eye
And in this beaconing
You'll be changing just for me
Your screaming says that I'm
The one in looking out yours...

I don't know what the harmonizations say, though. I think I hear "Each day, Oohhhh...", but maybe "Each day's over...". I'm not sure, and I may be completely wrong.

The Strokes – Fear of Sleep Lyrics 18 years ago
(b:D)b At Eelsrule, some of the songs on the album really do that to you...you hatign them, then ending up loving them afterwards, I mean.

As for teh song, the first verse just seems to be him paranoid from sleep depravation. I don't know what the second verse might mean, but it might just be him being easily ticked off ("everyone was loud"). Or, the other person is impressed with some positive quality of somebody, and the main character comments that if you were less of an asshole you wouldn't be so surprised. I dunno.

The "You're no fun" part, shen I first read that those lyrics were in the song, instantly made me think that the main character is angry at the people who are asleep, and who are not afraid of it, and since he's awake all night he's bored out of his mind. So he writes them off as boring sicne they go to sleep, with a "You're no fun". Maybe, I dunno...maybe it has something more to do with that second verse too.

For it to say "Emotion", or Eee-Moe-Shun, the first section of the vocals has to sound remotely like a long E. It doesn't. The second section has to sound a little like "Moe". It doesn't. And lastly, the last part has to sound a bit like "Shun", held for a long time. It doesn't.

The Strokes – Automatic Stop Lyrics 18 years ago
No, never mind. It's just a love triangle.

Now, to set it up, there's 2 guys in a relationship with 1 girl, but it can't go any farther obviously if both of them are in it, so 1 guy has to go one way or the other.

The main character is split between 2 views. He is being pressured out of the relationship by external sources; he is being told that "It's just a phase", "Don't rush it (ie. train)". The other guy is also threatening him (ie. "He wanted me"). This also tells that the other guy will not back down. And another reason is that he is seeing that the girl is very stressed by this dilemma.

Now, wanting the best for her, he willingly gives into these external sources, he says Wat! and while he talks to her he thinks to himself "Alright, I'm going to let this whole thing go and relieve her of her stress" (ie. "I'm gonna give it a break"), he actually tells the girl that "I'm not your friend, I never was" in a pretty ugly breakup. He told her such a thing because he didn't want her to have to have any feelings for him lingering on while she will be with the other guy. And, he probably was so unwillingly angry because he because he was ashamed with his sympathetic nature, as he had to let her go for her own good.

Very bittersweet...or just an incorrect interpretation, but hey.

Instead of "Just take this now leave me" it was "You sound so sleepy, Just fuck off and leave me".

The last two lines of the chorus is "You're no longer needed, I'm not coming over".

The whole break with "Now everytime that I look at myself" was then "Somehow they says as she looks at her man
"You don't understand me
So stand by and let me".

"The Room is on fire as she's fixing her hair!" was then "Now they walk out and his girlfriend arrives!".

For clarification, there are some multiple version of their unreleased songs, with some different lyrics.

A Minor 4-4 has the Brownie's concert recording, and the Arlene Grocery recording, and they're both wildly different.

Sagganuts has both Brownie's and Arlene grocery's recordings too, and they have slightly different lyrics.

In Her Prime and The Rhythm Song are on their 2000 Demo, a brownie recording, and an Arlene Grocery recording for each, but they're all generally the same from each other.

The Strokes – Modern Girls and Old Fashion Men (with Regina Spektor) Lyrics 19 years ago
The song is basically about two people made for each other, but they're so radically different (represented by Old Fashioned and Modern) that they feel that they should break up.

Long story short, they do break up, they "fall" into despair from being away from each other, they meet again and tell off each other, but...then after they hear themselves fighting so senselessly, they ask "Was...I?" (ie. Was I acting like that too?) and they forgive each other.

What a happy ending!

The Strokes – Automatic Stop Lyrics 19 years ago
They're going to be releasing a new album in the summer (June 20th).

And I think I can safely say that I think this song is about a guy who just jumps from relationship from relationship, hurting everyone in his path, and never really caring about others. He also has no remorse or guilt, (The chorus is the breakup where the girl realizes his nature) and feels that it's the other person's fault for trusting in him in the first place. ("I never was", last line), which is interesting as it shows that the man has such a low self esteem of himself in the first place, possibly developed from a bad breakup (so it's just a vicious cycle).

The "he wanted me" was the boyfriend of another girl he had an affair with, and he was out for
vengeance. Nothing about homosexuality.

The Strokes – I Can't Win Lyrics 19 years ago
Oh, I think I just got it.

This guy keeps on failing at everything - jobs, relationships, and is given the "good try, but it's not enough" line.

So, he meets some girl at a bar who's ready to jump right on top of him (have sex, "Happy that you said you'd mount me") and so he's found success in this relationship.

Now, he's just "leaving for a while" (I'll be right back), while on the sidewalk (he left the bar). Whatever he's doing, it has to do with all his past failures, because he keeps on remembering them, but the last thought in his mind is the girl waiting for him.

The Strokes – The End Has No End Lyrics 19 years ago
I don't think this song is about the government at all. It's not a political song.

Basically it's about a relationship with him completely fed up with the "dumb" girl who blames others for everything. He wants it easy, but the girl is asking too much of him, and they're making absolutely no progress (2 minus 3).

"Won't you take a walk outside" is him trying to calm her down, because he wants it easy and relaxed. "Won't you find another guy?" is teh verbal translation of his bad additude towards her because he just can't stand her.

"1 9 6 9/3" is the only thing making me assume that this is a political song, but it could mean anything. It could mean that someone was trying to phone call somebody but they were caught (affair).

And that the relationship is basically done for, but is still there much to the discontent of the male of the story. Thus, "The end has no end".

And that's my take on it.

submissions
The Strokes – Sagganuts Lyrics 19 years ago
Whoops, sorry, that was worded wrong.

But, with the inclusion of "She protects her son standing right there" might also mean that she was having an affair with her husband, and the main character slept with her so now the husband is very angry with him and is going to try and hunt him down.

Hec, that line could even mean that some guy was hunting him down to attack him for doing something, who knows.

And those do not sound like the correct lyrics, at all.

These are the most accurate lyrics to date:

>>>

In at the top of the tower
It was about a quarter hour
I want it back and I'm just over here
Nuts on my left side
Reacted to the owner
The only thing that I'd seen with my eyes
She said

Run Run Run!!
As fast as you can run while you can walk
They give you all so much because you're right on time
Run Run Run!!
But don't you know that I'm up?

I'm going on my way, yeah
I'm tired of all the ends
All the ends, ends, ends,
And she protects us all in the end
And I said
And after,
But I go out to work!
Oh yeah!

I'm bringin down on Tuesday
On Wednesday, a paper, man!
I gave it up
To what I said
Leave me in peace
He said

Run Run Run!!
As fast as you can run while you can walk
She gives you all so much because you're out of time
Run Run Run!!
But I said that was yours!

I'm tired of the ends
All the ends, ends, ends
And bringing back to my thumb
When I said I was right
But she protects her son standing right there
On the edge
And after
But I go out to work...

>>>

The song is basically about the main character sleeping with a girl ("the owner"), and then getting in major **** with the parents or other people because of this, so she says to "Run run run! As fast as you can run while you can walK!" meaning that you better run now before they try and kill you or whatever.

But, with the inclusion of "She protects her son standing right there" might also mean that she was having an affair with her wife, and the main character slept with her so now the husband is very angry with him and is going to try and hunt him down.

It's not a cover of anything. it's an unreleased song they sang in a place called Arlene Grocery years ago. They enver produced.

But it's damn good, and I wish they did.
