Slipknot – Vermilion, Pt. 2 Lyrics 14 years ago
Slipknot has a lot of big words in their lyrics. Maybe you'd be better suited to Britney Spears.

Next time, read the whole post. He wasn't insulting Slipknot, he was explain how he sees the band.

And really, if you don't have anything smart to say... don't say anything at all. Unless you're really as dumb as you sound.

Slipknot – 742617000027 Lyrics 14 years ago
Haven't heard this yet, but bands that add in strange short clips to usually leave a lot more than that short sound clip to think about.

I gotta go find this now...

Don McLean – American Pie Lyrics 15 years ago
I just want to point this out (even though someone probably already has)...

This board is to discuss what the song means TO YOU. Not what the artist was thinking when writing it. So don't bash on people and tell them they're wrong. Opinions can't be wrong.


And I love this song. I think it probably is about how he seen the music culture crashing when his idols/favorite people/whatever died. I've been hearing this song randomly throughout my whole life, and just think it's a pretty song. I finally downloaded it! Yay for me.

Rise Against – Swing Life Away Lyrics 17 years ago
This reminds me of my life. I'm not sure if it's so much of a meaning as a relation, but I live in a real small town. People here actually do have swings on their front porches. No one here really makes a lot of money. I've had a LOT of times I could never forget with friends I barely know. (IE - partying with a friend of a friend and having a really good time) And I'm always saying how I don't want to live here. The first chance I get I want to move, but the memories of this place are NEVER going to leave me. (maybe that's what this song is about... wanting to move and saying "I'll never forget"...)

Nickelback – Rockstar Lyrics 17 years ago
LalaLaura - When you're a rockstar, you can walk up to any chick and be like "Hey baby, I'm famous!" and that's pretty much all a guy would have to say in order to have sex (or even just date her).

BTW - I love this song and slowdance104 I didn't see the episode, but you're probably right. I mean he's a rockstar. All rockstars have cool cars, big houses, and lots of chicks. (plus drugs... but not all of them like to talk about that part, lol).

I don't really think he's making -fun- of rockstars. I think he's saying "Everybody paints this perfect picture of who we are, and because of it everyone wants to be like us." And I think the song is supposed to be from the fans point of view. Seriously, how many of you would actually pass up the chance to do what Nickelback (or any other band/actor/singer/etc) does for a living?

System of a Down – Vicinity of Obscenity Lyrics 17 years ago
Okay people... This WHOLE FUCKING SITE is for discussing what EACH INDIVIDUAL PERSON thinks of a song.

I love this song. It's fun to sing and I think it probably has something to do with sex (hell, the word WHORE is even in the song)

Don't just post saying it has no meaning (if you think the band didn't give it a meaning, come up with YOUR OWN... come on people, think for yourself for once).

And don't post saying how dumb the song is. Sure, if you can actually prove why it's dumb, then that's fine. But don't just post "This is a dumb song" (with possible worse spelling) because that's annoying and dumb.

And, also don't just post "I love this song". Tell everyone WHY YOU LOVE THE SONG.



One last thing, everyone is welcome to their own opinion. Don't tell someone they're wrong because this site is what the song means to each person. And besides, unless you wrote the song, there's NO PROOF (even if this person or that person was quoted saying it meant this or that) because a lot of artists put different/multiply meanings in their songs.

So chill.

The Cure – The Lovecats Lyrics 17 years ago
My boyfriend got me into The Cure. I used to share poems with a girl who was obsessed with the band, but I never bothered to listen to them (not even one song). So one day I decided to download every song I could find by them.

I thought they were pretty awsome, but that was before I heard this song. This song is now one of my most favorite songs ever. When my friends heard it they all went "WTF?" but I smply said "This song makes you want to dance like a retard and not care who watches. So I love it!"

Everclear – Unemployed Boyfriend Lyrics 17 years ago
osubuckeye420
I completely agree with what you said to Penny (any normal girl WOULD of course be terrified if a guy said something like that to her), but I don't think he literally means he went up to some chick and said "Hey. I have no money. Let me have your babies!!" I think it was just the whole idea of a nice guy coming up to a poor (money and/or happines wise) girl and making her feel special.

Everclear – Pennsylvania Is... Lyrics 17 years ago
It could be FOR (or AGAINST)... It all depends on how you look at it.

Jackson met a girl in a valley town
(someone met a small town girl)
They fell into a teenage love she'd grow to hate
(she falls hard for him - maybe because he's from a bigger city - and then begins to hate the relationship)
He's in prison now since he beat her down
(he started abusing her, so she called the police)
He got her pregnant and she made it go away
(she didn't want to have his baby, so she got an abortion)
Hey hey hey hey Pennsylvania
I got a card today from a girl I know
She used to live alone in Philadelphia
She had to leave the state for a choice she made
She says she feels just like a hostage in her home
(a lady had to leave because she made a terrible choice. was the choice to HAVE a baby or to get an ABORTION?)
Hey hey hey hey Pennsylvania
You can close your eyes, you can fall and die
(you can close your eyes, and look away from the problem)
You can hope your laws will make it go away
(hiding from the problem by making up a stupid law)
You can close your eyes but you can't make it go away
(you can hide, but the problem will never leave)
I just got a call from my uncle Mike
He said he left his wife and he's not going back
Said she changed her mind about a desire child
I asked him if he wants a placemat or a wife
(he left his girlfriend because he didn't want to have the child)
Hey hey hey hey Pennsylvania is wrong
(PA is stupid - AND HERE I MUST SAY I FULLY AGREE, but it has a lot to do with an ex and nothing to do with this song).

System of a Down – Lonely Day Lyrics 17 years ago
Funny... it's kinda how I feel right now.

My boyfriend can't see me until the 12 and I was actually thinking earlier "These are going to be the most loneliest days of my life... Knowing I'll see him soon, but knowing I have to first live through the next few days of not seeing him."

Though, not all the lyrics in this song can fit into that thought, this is still going to be my theme song for the next few days until I see him.

Nickelback – Animals Lyrics 18 years ago
I F'ing LOVE this song.

Seriously, it's perfect. If you think about it, there's actually more to this song than just the song. I'm sure we've all been in positions like this (not necassarily this frightening "that's my dad outside the car!").

Parents are sometimes overprotective of their teenagers and the lovers they have and so they take things into their own hands and sneak out.

I find the whole "acting like animals" a perfect way to put it. Teenagers are animals (I should know - I'm 16) and all the sex depicted in this song is definantly in an animal like manner.

GREAT SONG!

Nelly – Ride Wit Me Lyrics 18 years ago
Let's get something straight: I hate most Rap, R&B, Hiphop, Pop, or anything else that fits into that category, but I actually can listen to this song without running from the room, or grabbing my ipod and blasting my own version of good music. Hell, I might even put this on my ipod.

Coal Chamber – Rowboat (FLOOD cover) Lyrics 18 years ago
1. If the band sucks why do you want to know a band members name? Pictures for touching yourself to?

2. I hate when people post just to say a band sucks... not because I hate people who express their feelings but because you don't explain what's so bad about their music. Give a LOGICAL reason. (if you don't know what the word means, look it up and use it more often).

3. This song doesn't have to be a anti-love song. It can be a song saying "I love/lust this person, but they won't leave me alone. I can't go hang out with my friends or even go grocery shopping without them right behind me and it's really annoying. I thought I loved you, but get the fuck away from me.

Nickelback – See You At The Show Lyrics 18 years ago
When I first heard it, it sounded like another way to advertise their concerts.

I've been the first to sign on everyone - They do autographs
We pray to god it never ends - They need fans, or they won't be famous

We'll see you at the show - They're expecting you

If you don't come, we'll never know - They have so many fans they won't be able to tell who is there and who isn't

You stand off in the back/You still stand out while you're wearing black - Even if you're at the back of the crowd, they'll still see SOMEONE standing there

Jump onto the bus/And ride around with all of us/We'll go out on the town - Go party with them, despite what you think, some stars do like to party with fans

And light it up 'til we burn it down - Light up the stage (not a joint - though many people do smoke at concerts)

I know it's not an advertisement, but I want to give you examples as to why I thought this so you wouldn't be all "You're stupidzer hahaHA, go to hellzerz... LoLL!!!"

Seriously, first time I heard it that's what I thought. I wasn't even really listening. Now I think it's about their lives.

TV on the Radio – Ambulance Lyrics 18 years ago
Since this seems to be the most popular song by this band, I'll post this here:
I seen them live at a music festival, and it just seemed a little.... boring to me. Maybe they're just not good with performing live or maybe it's just not my kind of music, but they could have been better. I know I wasn't the only one at the concert festival to think this... you know a band isn't doing so well when the moshpit is half empty and no one is screaming/singing along/dancing/pushing in the crowd.

And don't bother trying to start a fight with me and getting all hardcore with your keyboard because I'll probably ignore it.
After all, I'm just stating my opinion and like I said, I only seen them live, maybe their CDs are better.

Wolfmother – Where Eagles Have Been Lyrics 18 years ago
timmy_r!
I think they're trying to give LA a different outlook. I think they're look at it as a place to escape to where their dreams can come true. Especially the last part:
Oh break my chains girl,
Show me to the land,
Where people live together,
Try to understand

GIRL isn't a real girl, it's the city. He's hoping this'll be his big break and his chance to be free and do something he wants to.

Also, could it be talking about Hollywood? Or are you all sure it's LA?

SyroVision-
Is there a meaning behind this "Burning man" ritual thing? if there is, that could be proof that's what the song is about because honestly, it might be. I can't really think of anything else.
Is the "Burning Man" supposed to symbolize moving on or a celebration of remembrance or maybe if it's just a reason to have a party (possibly had a reason in the past, that doesn't matter so much anymore) like marti gra?

Wolfmother – Vagabond Lyrics 18 years ago

Wolfmother – Colossal Lyrics 18 years ago
It's about a guy who stands back and watches this girl (who's possibly doing drugs because she is talking to trees - or maybe it's a metaphor) and he just watches because everytime he comes close either she runs away or he chickens out, but he really cares, and he's cared since the first time he's seen this great girl.

Wolfmother – Joker & The Thief Lyrics 18 years ago
Sounds like a Pink Floyd song. (please note, I love PF so this wasn't meant as a diss)

I think this is about someone (the "joker") watching over someone else (the girl in the song) and how for now he's just WATCHING, but soon he could step into her life... Maybe she's thinking about doing something (drugs, sex, stealing, lying) and the joker is a metaphor for whatever she's thinking about doing.

Wolfmother – Apple Tree Lyrics 18 years ago
Okay, so I went to a music festival and I didn't even know half the bands going... I was just going to see HIM and NIN and then there was a whole bunch of other bands. For those who care I'll list them:
Nine Inch Nails (obviously a good band)
Bauhaus (LOVED their costumes and they have good music)
HIM (some people don't like HIM and I respect that, but they have pretty good music)
TV on the Radio (my opinion is they weren't that great... they weren't heavy enough for me)
...and you will know it's us By The Trail of Dead (never heard of them until then, but they were good)
and of course: Wolfmother (by far the best band there that I hadn't heard of yet - I'm definantly a fan now).

So ya... I love his voice... and his hair.
This song is pretty self explanitory, but I wouldn't mind seeing them live again.

Vanessa Carlton – White Houses Lyrics 18 years ago
vaginacheeze34... You seriously don't understand much. When you are stupid and you use words too large for your own vocabulary to say something (or type it for that matter) you just make people think you know less then they thought you did.

Right above the little box you typed all that in it says "What does this song mean to YOU?" Not what was Vanessa thinking when she wrote it.

And on the note of your utterly insane theory. You fail at life as well as interpreting.

So I suggest you find a really smart person (NOT YOURSELF) follow them around for a few days, learn something, and then come back and post here.

Please don't try to be smart if you bother replying to me. I don't like people who think it's cool to get all hardcore with their keyboard and start e-arguments with people they know nothing about. For all you know, I could be Vanessa herself. (though I'm not Vanessa Calrton).

As for what you think this is about, WHAT THEL HELL? Is all I can say.

Ciao,
Nessa

Rasputina – Watch T.V. Lyrics 18 years ago
It keeps making a reference to all these things the person thinks they see.
"I see only me."
"I make up what they say."
"Where it used to be your face/ Is an empty space"
"I can watch for hours/ It just gets better"
These lines make me think the person is not only obsessed over the show, but also psycologically unstable without this person on the show.

The Rolling Stones – Paint It Black Lyrics 18 years ago
I see a red door and I want it painted black
(red - the color of passion and love, black - the color of depression and death)

No colors anymore I want them to turn black
(He just wants to give up)

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
(He sees all these happy pretty girls and keeps remembering the beautiful girl he had, so he turns away from it all because it's too painful)

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
(Metophorical funeral. No one has actually died except his heart)

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day
(People close to him are always asking if he's okay, but then they just go on with their lives and leave him to dwell in his depression, because thinks like this happen to people every day)

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
(He's turned cold and pretends not to care anymore)
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black
(All the love and passion in his life is fading away and he just wants to run and hide because it hurts to walk through each day of his life)

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
(Think of the beautiful beaches on these islands where the water is always this bright blue color... the sea of his life used to turn that color, but now it's gone boring, dull, and green)

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
(He sits up all night thinking about her, wishing she'd come back)

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
(He wants to metephorically paint the whole world black because he's sick and tired of seeing all these happy still-in-lust-stage couples and even people who aren't in lust/love who smile. He wants the world to share in his sorrows)

It clearly says What does the song mean to you?

Not that you can't discuss what the artist/writer of the songs meaning behind it was. But please DONT just post "I love this song!" It annoys me and is NOT the purpose of the site.

It probably is about war, but I have a question... why do you think she did the cover? What do you think the song means to her? Carin already told us what the creator of the songs meaning behind it was, but what about Vanessa's reason for singing it?

Vanessa Carlton – Paint It Black (Rolling Stones cover) Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is the reason I started getting into Vanessa's music. I'm normally not one to listen to this type of music (I suppose I could be called goth). I was at a thrift store one day and seen a CD. The artist's name was Vanessa Carlton. Well, since my name is Vanessa too, I got it for that sole reason. I listened to some of the songs and realized what kind of music it was. I thought her voice was beautiful though so I kept listening to the CD. Then this song came on and now I'm the strangest fan Vanessa could ever have. If I was ever famous, I'd want to do a cover of Paint it Black.

AFI – Aspirin Free Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this song is about how teens feel like they are being discrimated against and there's no one they can talk to about their problems. If they try to ask a question concerning their problem, everyone will think they're nuts. So they remain silent and in pain.
The only line I'm a little lost on is "A thousand lights are burning from both ends"

SixtoEight27- Are you a little lost? The point of this WHOLE SITE is to discuss what a song MEANS to whomever is posting.
I'm going to leave you with two pieces of advice dear, one I'm sure you heard from you're mother or someone's mother.
"If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything."
and "It's better to remain silent and though and idiot then to speak and remove all doubt."

And I agree, this song is about touring and how hard it can be on him (lack of sleep, no real home, etc) but it's worth it to see all the happy fans.

You're more then welcome to post if you like the song or not, but post WHY you love/hate it so much.

Anywho, this song might be about how he loves a girl and would do anything for her but (this is the confusing part) either he thinks/knows she's cheating or she gets jelous when she can't always be around him and make sure he's not cheating.
I'm not sure though...

3 Doors Down – Ticket To Heaven Lyrics 18 years ago
dmk89... You're supposed to post what the song means to YOU. Not Brad, your dog, your mother, or anyone else.

Now, I think this song is about how religion has so many laws... ie drinking is bad, smoking is bad, sex before marriage is bad (which I highly disagree with because if your not sexually attracted to the person you marry you'll be more likely to cheat but w/e), same-sex marriage is wrong, masturbating is wrong, some religions even forbid you from dating, celebrating certain holidays, etc.
All those laws are hard to keep track of and even harder to follow.

Could this possibly be about someone who had a drinking problem...? I know the whole lines about "life's your cup so drink it up" could be interpreted many ways, but if you think about it, it could be.
But I agree with whoever said this song was vague. I think it's meant to be, so each listener can find their own meaning.

Seriously. State if you like the song or not. If you do like it (or even if you don't I suppose) state what it means to you.

Now, this song I think is about how life can sometimes seem like its turned against you (ie a bump in the road), but you just have to keep walking down the road of life to get to better parts.

I have too much to live for (like everyday boreDUMB and my boyfriend)
