AJJ – Bad Bad Things Lyrics 14 years ago
And then I grabbed the knife
And I let the blood out of your throat
And I smashed those tiny mirrors inside of your skull
And I got to thinking
If I don't go to hell when I die I might go to heaven

That is easily the most haunting description of a homicidal mindset I've ever heard.

The Gun Club – For The Love of Ivy Lyrics 14 years ago
While all this lyrical discussion is interesting and all, there's only one thing that needs to be said:

This is the coolest motherfucking song ever made.

I highly, highly, highly recommend the live version from the 9/30/2006 bootleg.

Richard Hell And The Voidoids – Blank Generation Lyrics 15 years ago
Violentpacifist is correct. He actually meant the song to be optimistic, blank as in a clean slate. He admitted as much to Lester Bangs in an interview.

Pony Up! – The Truth About Cats And Dogs (Is That They Die) Lyrics 16 years ago
she's making constant references toward the childhood desire for independence--"you don't have to be there / to catch me i won't fall"--while still reflecting a child's need to rely on someone else--"i've got dirt on my shoe / tell me what im gonna do". i think she's taking this and using it to describe a broken relationship, where she wants to prove she doesnt need him, and yet at the same time she knows she does.

Social Distortion – Ball and Chain Lyrics 16 years ago
how does this song make anybody happy?

"Times are hard, getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail"

there's no happiness there, there's no hope--he's a depressed alcoholic with nowhere to go, no chance to escape his pain, and the song offers no escape from all of that.

Bikini Kill – Hamster Baby Lyrics 16 years ago
the way they scream DECK AMP VAN...so fucking amazing, so fucking heavy...so fucking sexy, for whatever reason

The Beatles – Helter Skelter Lyrics 16 years ago
this song has no meaning
the words are incidental
it's just meant to be heavy as shit
and it is
play this song from 3:11
this is the heaviest song ever recorded

The Rolling Stones – Wild Horses Lyrics 16 years ago
the stones always had a knack for writing an amazing chorus, but this...this is just beautiful
