| The Dillinger Escape Plan – Fix Your Face Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Real lyrics: You want a vision you can't have A line that you can't walk Writhing around on the floor You won't be aware 'till it's too late 'Cause you never look around You're like a deer in the headlights, baby Queen of delusion you will never learn compassion Start a fire you can never put it out You're burning up in the blaze you started I want to see you face down Because I know that you play that part so well At our wake the casket is open ready for viewing But we are still moving Already we smell of rot There will be no comeback No coming back for any one of us now No way out Don't you realize there's nowhere you can hide Where I'm from there is never a rest for the hunted No way you and I will ever be done We're never apart Whatever you're doing We will always cross your mind You were young and now you pay the price for her (from the CD insert) |

| Flogging Molly – If I Ever Leave This World Alive Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I agree with Labradore. My interpretation is basically "If I were a ghost, I would stay here, comforting you and watching over you, until you finally realize how I said not to cry and said that everything would be ok, then you can finally let me go." |

| Gnarls Barkley – St. Elsewhere Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Basically, "I'd rather be anywhere else but here, and if it weren't for [someone], I'd leave in a second." So true for so much. |

| Iron Maiden – Fear of the Dark Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
What I like about this song is its ability to verbalize an emotion, and the music reflects it, too. I've never a felt slow, dreary, approaching atmosphere when I'm scared--I feel fast-paced adrenaline, much like the guitar lines in the song--fast and frantic, almost desperate-sounding. |

| Weezer – Freak Me Out Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song strikes me as something said to someone at a bar or something. Not necessarily a bar, but if you approach someone and say you're interested, the chorus sounds a lot like their possible response. Not nearly as in-depth as is possible, but that's my two cents. |

| VNV Nation – Airships Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is one of the greatest ever written because it captures such a visual scene and puts it into sound. The obvious setting here is a busy city (metaphors, obviously, but still nice to pictures) with so many people and so much going on, however the song remains calm. It makes me think of someone who realizes how insignificant he is in the grand scheme of things, yet accepts it because he realizes that every person combined makes the scene beautiful. And he leaves ground, having discovered a modern-day enlightenment. |

| Atmosphere – Bird Sings Why the Caged I Know Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Yes, it's about a girl, and it's about how he thinks the girl is high and mighty. He thinks the girl views herself as better than everyone else, and he'd like to bring her down ("Break her skinny legs") and in the process harm everything she has (talking about the nest and eggs). However, at the end, he realizes that he truly valued the bird, and laments over what he's done, presumably when she leaves him ("My beautiful bird has gone away...") |

| Bathory – Dies Irae Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| The first letter of each line spells out "Christ the Bastard Son of Heaven" here. | |
| Bathory – The Golden Walls Of Heaven Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| For those of you who haven't noticed, if you look at the first letter at the beginning of each line, it spells out "Satan" repeatedly. | |
| Decapitated – The Fury Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I always thought of this song as talking about the futility of our lives - endless progression in no real direction. There's a chance to reach equilibrium, but that would mean stopping, so we just don't do it. The line "The only way to equilibrium - kill yourself! But..." always stuck with me as meaning "The only real way to escape is suicide, but that's pointless and meaningless, too." Follows the nihilistic lyrical motif Decapitated has held since they were formed. |

| Wumpscut – Turns Off Pain Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I've been thinking about this song for a while, and have come up with a few theories as to the meaning of the song. I'll only name two of them here, though. The first theory was that this song is about sex addiction. Think about it: In a sense, an orgasm can "turn off pain" and isn't as real as you feel it again. They mention "the golem of lust" several times and "a broken goddess" as well. The line "that's for your lover" also supports this theory. The second theory is similar, but also deals with the fact that in Paganism sex is considered to be sacred. So "No, Goddess, I don't believe" (which I do think is in this song somewhere) is talking about how sex is corrupted and instead an addiction that drives you insane rather than a sacred act. |

| Dream Theater – Octavarium Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"Octavarium" is a song that's about a boy who desires to live every day in a unique manner and to exceed the normal "every-day-like-the-last" life. ("I never wanted to be someone like him; content to live each day just like the last") However, at some point in his life he realized that this wasn't as magnificant nor as realistic as he hoped and realized that the life he wished to avoid is his only option ("the only thing I wanted to become to be someone just like him"). Because of this boring lifestyle, he lives the next thirty years of his life in a boring manner to a point where every day is indistinguishable from the last and he accomplished nothing. With the help of a doctor (I assume a psychiatrist) he realizes all that he's missed and becomes overwhelmed with frustration. He also realizes that everyone else "drain[s] all your lifeblood" and that there isn't an escape to this lifestyle. |
