| KMFDM – Light Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
KMFDM stands for "Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid" ... the literal translation of that is "no majority for the pity" and is grammatically incorrect (and nonsensical) in German. However, it's usually loosely translated as "no pity for the majority" or "no mercy for the masses." I'm a bit out of practice with my German, so these are very rought. At times, the meaning of a word can change depending on whether it's capitalized or not. At the time of this posting, the lyrics here are not ideal for translation (there are several grammatical as well as capitalization errors), and can be found in proper German on the KMFDM website. Regardless, here's my rough translation of the German part of this song. Musik ist Macht Music is power Eine ausgesprochene Verbindung von schlau und dumm A strong connection between smart and dumb Geräuschsüchtigen wird unter immensem Druck und Leidenschaft größte Freude und Vertrauen abgesaugt Noise addicts will be drawn in under immense pressure and passion, the greatest joy and faith Der Helden Riff ist der Froschfresser The heroes' reef is the frog eater (like I said, I may be off with this, especially since I might not translate idioms correctly) Der Rhythmus ein schöner Schwan The rhythm of a beautiful swan Nur die Worte ein Blutegel an Deinem Gehirn Simply the words of a leech in your brain Keiner Macht für Dich mehr No more power for you (if the "M" in "Macht" were lowercase, this would translate to "no one does more for you" ... so it's kinda ambiguous, especially since on the KMFDM website, certain pronouns are capitalized in the lyrics when grammatically they shouldn't be, so yeah... that plus my sucky German = ???) |

| A Place To Bury Strangers – To Fix The Gash In Your Head Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I agree with what you said. I hadn't been sure of what to make of the "to fix the gash in your head," but I can definitely see it that way. I'm definitely reminded of that feeling when someone leaves you, that combination vulnerability and hurt, mixed with wanting to lash out at him/her for making you feel the way you do. "Every time you leave/I go down" ... the hurt, "... and kick your head in" ... turned into anger, wanting to make the other hurt the way you do, and then all of that mixed with that sort of numb, "I'm going to ignore my feelings, I don't care about you, I'm happy" sort of gleefully angry fuck you emotion, if that makes any sense at all. Ha, I'm horrible at translating my thoughts into words... |

It sounds really familiar, and I can't place it... And the "pledge allegiance" part reminds me lyrics-wise of Green Day's Minority (the megaphone effect type thing probably also contributes to the Green Day resemblance) ... Fun song though. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Capital G Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| It is primarily about greed - I agree that there are definitely other meanings that you can read into it, but it is mostly about greed. Not only has Trent Reznor said this, but, if you download the file off their website and open it in GarageBand, there's a part where there's a crowd chanting 'greed.' I would have never noticed had I not been able to see it isolated in GarageBand... so yeah, mostly greed, but I agree that it has other implications. | |
