| Bruce Springsteen – Born in the U.S.A. Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
wtf only brainw ashed U.S. citizens talking here, "Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man" Do you understand that fucking terrible verse? Taking the idiots, the poor and send them to kill humans?? "I'm a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A." Can't you see the fucking "why don't I just kill myself" feeling in this? |

| Pink Floyd – Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 3 Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| That's exactly explained (I lived it and the song also describes it perfectly, as stupid as it is). | |
| Syd Barrett – Baby Lemonade Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Alright, all of those opinions are just as valid, but I think it's just another anti-capitalist or anti-power song. "In the sad town, cold iron hands clap, the party of clowns outside" The iron hands are the machines producing with no point at all (production could have a point if needed) and calls them "clowns" ironically. "rain falls in grey far away, please, please, Baby Lemonade" The smoke (I'm resuming) from the pipes contaminates far away places (Asia, Africa, South-America and other many starving places). "Baby Lemonade" could be the early earth (with no pollution, literally and metaphorically) or calling for something innocent or "not needed of insult" to forget about it (not to avoid it, but to forget and don't suffer from it) "In the evening sun going down when the earth streams in, in the morning send a cage through the post make your name like a ghost" The rutinary, but stupid life of pointless duties and making "your name like a ghost" might be the common and incredibly stupid phrase of "being someone by having a good´ job" (similar to the "Ive seen al good people" from Yes feeling) "I'm screaming, I met you this way you're nice to me like ice in the clock they sent through a washing machine come around, make it soon, so alone... please, please, Baby Lemonade" He shouldn't be screaming, but no matter how, he's doing it to stop it all, and he shouldn't have met anyone (or everyone) this way (everyone calling him crazy). The washing machine is the system washing heads about "time is coming, you'll die, be crazy!" (the clock) so ice (even if it might look cold to the system) is good to stop all that stupidity. I just draw the structure, it could be he thought the Floyd were gonna lose themselves by going into that mass-production, or "Baby Lemonade" could be drugs or an unknown nickname. The important thing is he is asking for optimistic to stop pesimistic. (No need to say Syd was a focking genius) and that, if he thought the Floyd were losing themselves he was right (look at "The Wall" about all Roger's pesimism), but now it all turned out good. Love the Floyd! |

| Syd Barrett – Dark Globe Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| pff whatever, when i first started writing songs I made a lot (even most of them) in code, which no-one could get (Im exagerating), but just for fun and for poetry, which has nothing to do with mental illness or whatever | |
| Pink Floyd – Mother Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
well, i relate a lot with it (and she really helped build my wall), it's, maybe, the mother's lonely and tries to project her fears or errors (in the case of my father) into him. how? by saying creepy phrases like "growing hurts" or "you're useless" or "your education didn't work" (when they actually don't think that of him, but of themselves) or "if you don't finish school-university-job-and die you're wrong" always trying to help him (mistakenly). or when he's sick (in the movie it's shown perfecty) the mother and the doctor chat about his fever and he wants to know what's wrong with him, but his mother closes the door, for him not to hear. |
|
| Pink Floyd – Brain Damage Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
it's about people, when wanting to be sadder. (i believe there's people who want to be happier and the other way around, but it's up to us to decide which way to go) about the line "there's someone in my head, but it's not me", he's plainly talking about himself, and how he doesn't recognize himself in his way of acting/thinking at that moment |

| Pink Floyd – Careful with That Axe, Eugene Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I describe as "The every mans life soundtrack" imo the best version's from the "Animals" tour in Oakland CA 1977 Its with an improvised Snowy White, but it's still amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHG18wB1JFc |

| The Police – So Lonely Lyrics | 13 years ago |

it seems pretty clear someone told it to him (or most likely what he thought someone would have said to him) my question's if: "But I just can't convince myself I couldn't live with no one else" is the same sentence or not |

their best song, clearly. I think the "rhapatita totohchah" part could be considered as lyrics |

| Pink Floyd – Goodbye Blue Sky Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
At first (some years ago) I thought it was "no plane", like saying children were used to see war and "no plane" was something weird; but it's "an airplane", showing the innocence of children towards a war (maybe Roger said it when child) the song's about his sadness, and war as another brick in his wall (soon to come) |
|
| Pink Floyd – Money Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I wouldve changed "evil" for "mistakes" and the last "but" for "plus" or "and", but somehow those little wrong visions make the song more stable, well, of iron. but when I sing it I always change it | |

| Pink Floyd – Echoes Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
sorry I was a little sad when I wrote that, 1st verse: "green and submarine" life is still undeveloped 2nd verse: mankind starts to filosophy without any need of an extern stimulus (though I disagree in there, when someone seeing someone's death is the start) 3rd verse: "together we stand" 4th verse: still no extern stimulus and no-one is happy 5th verse: false illusion of happiness 6th verse: calls for an extern response (maybe his father or a god or someone with the right answer) |

| Pink Floyd – Apples and Oranges Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| right true mate, fucking false dilemmas all around and fucking capitalism crushing our heads using music and whatever they come across with | |
| The Who – Won't Get Fooled Again Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" nothing more clear than that, nothin will change until no-one is above no-one (which is no countries, and no capitalism) | |
| The Police – King Of Pain Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
oh you're such a moron, you could be in a prisoner in a nazi camp and still be happier than outside. imagine people there, they would develop their own religion, they were tons so they'd feel like 'brothers'; whereas outside you could be isolated, with no religion whatsoever and be treated like a mad man by your own family and friends and suffer ten times more besides, a song is for everyone to identify themselves while singing it |
|
| Pink Floyd – Welcome to the Machine Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Computers? The government spying on us? Doesn't matter if it's true. I think the song's pretty straight forward, and talks about the massive media controled by some stupid politicians, or morons with power, to more accurate: [It's alright, we told you what to dream. You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar, he always ate in the Steak Bar, he loved to drive in his Jaguar. So welcome to the machine.] brainwash for the weak |
|
| Pink Floyd – Brain Damage Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
you got it right mate' the other person/people helping him: [you raise the blade, you make the change you rearrange me ' till I'm sane] and Roger said: [The line 'I'll see you on the dark side of the moon' is me speaking to the listener, saying, 'I know you have these bad feelings and impulses because I do too and one of the ways I can make direct contact with you is to share with you the fact that I feel bad sometimes.] |
|
| Pink Floyd – Echoes Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
alright, in my opinion, "Echoes" here means that, no matter how much society changes, the early times were still similar to today's life. on the whole, I think it's obviously about the "being religious or not" question the only line i don't get is [But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light], my guess would be: balance is ruling the universe and it's climbing to turn the lights off (reach total balance) |

| Pink Floyd – Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2 Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
If you've seen the movie, where the headmaster takes his little back book with his poems in a stars to read it, derisively mockingly, outloud for the class. and says "the boy thinks he's a poet!", completely irrational. again to the whole album; the first part (disc 1) is why Roger decided to enclose himself in a "floydian wall", and the second part (Disc 2) is what he did inside it and how he got out. |
|
| Pink Floyd – Bike Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"Everyone who's trying to analyze this song is retarded." coming from a psychologist, you say, huh, and they dare to call it "science". Now my interpretation: From [I've got a bike...] to [...then I guess it should] I think it's literal, what's so wrong about it? The [I know a mouse...] part may be an old man he met on a park or the streets. I suspect the [gingerbread men] may be some of his friends The [room of musical tunes] is obviously sexually suggestive and so may be the gingerbread men |
|
| Pink Floyd – Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 3 Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Cmon "I have seen the writing on the wall" perhaps one of the best metaphors of the album along with the whole song "Stop"; meaning he saw what it is like inside the wall and outside is better | |
| Pink Floyd – Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 1 Lyrics | 13 years ago |

the climate created in this song is way too great, i put it in their top ten, being: 1 - Atom Heart Mother 2 - Shine On Youn Crazy Diamond 3 - Echoes 4 - Dogs 5 - Comfortably Numb 6 - Wot's... Uh The Deal 7 - Money 8 - The Fletcher Memorial Home 9 - Another Brick In The Wall, Part 1 10 - Time |

| First verse reminds me of A Clockwork Orange | |
| Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb Lyrics | 13 years ago |

hah the floyd are great, we're always going back what music is about. This song is badass cause of it's chords and both solos (the first light one and the freakin summum of music in the third note of the second solo) Verses: Dr. I Don't Care and Roger Chorus: I believe in [There is no pain, you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying] may be Roger talking to himself |
|
| Pink Floyd – Vera Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Great song, the lyrics don't seem as short as they really are. It's the chord progression what makes the more soulful. Not my favourite by the Floyd, but my favourite from the album (which is to say a lot, given the fact I listen to it at least twice a day) | |
| Pink Floyd – Paranoid Eyes Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"you believed in their stories of fame fortune and glory now you're lost in a haze of alchohol soft middle age" About post-war newly-born (mentally) soldier, whom, again, repesses into a floydian wall |
|
| Pink Floyd – Us and Them Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| So much over-thinking, just look at the title "Us and them" and it's obviously sarcastic, saying there is no "us and them". That's what the song is about. If you want to think of war then do it, but it's about that there's no countries, nacionalities, races, whatever, but just humans. | |
| The Police – Synchronicity II Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"Sincronicity I" is about the "the way we think-the way we act" options, choices. While this one is about how the way we act affects everything (everything else, you, your family; everything) You accept to live stupidily accepting capitalism and "many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the shore of a dark Scottish lake", which means you are fucking up someone else's life (I agree). |
|
| The Police – Every Breath You Take Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
The song's about someone watching someone/something else and getting lost the inflection point of losing it (or seems to be losing it) It doesn't matter to whom of these he wrote it for, you can relate it to the one you're most fond of, you can even relate to losing a player of the team where you're the coach, but it could definetely be written about these three: A parent to a child Himself/someone to a girl Stalker thoughts |
|
| The Police – Walking On The Moon Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Of course temptation777, the song's not about a girl or being drunk lol, it's about Sting's life choice of love and happiness "Giant steps are what you take Walking on the moon" - While living happily you seem to "skip stages" (seem, just seem). "Walking back from your..." - Always living happily. "Some may say I'm wishing my days away No way And if it's the price I pay Some say Tomorrow's another day" - If it's the price to pay, I'll pay it. And still, I've got the other choice right there. "Keep it up" - Meaning "hang in there". Anyway, a great song |
