| Earl Sweatshirt – Luper Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I wanna say it's "objecting to sex with me, murder spree surges on with the next bitch" | |
| Madvillain – Accordian Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| "a mixture between both with a twist of liquor" is referencing the two types of friends he just mentioned, the haves and have-nots (or maybe just evil and careless) | |
| Deftones – Change (In the House of Flies) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I always imagined this song could on one level be about childhood - you know, finding an actual fly and torturing it because you're a dick when you're a kid. The line "Now you feel so alive" is probably about the fly squirming in pain after it's wings are pulled off. On another level the symbolism would be about watching someone change into a different person (possibly since childhood?) and the wings getting pulled off would be their angel wings getting pulled off - falling from the grace of friendship or what have you (notice there's a direct religious reference in the song as well). | |
| A Silver Mt. Zion – Babylon Was Built on Fire/Starsnostars Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think the line is "missiles in their hulls". But yeah, definitely about some type of fallout destruction. Fantastic vocal arrangements near the end, but even the opening ambiance is as powerful as hell. Amazing song | |

"All of us canoeing through sewers with juvenile manuevers" That's a classic line, great reference |

| Pure Reason Revolution – The Exact Colour Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This is my favorite song of theirs, I can't believe it isn't more popular! The lyrics don't make much sense yet, I'll have to re-read | |
| Nirvana – In Bloom Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I love how this song is in the video game 'The Rock band' or whatever, hypocritical, much? Because we all know it was Kurt's choice to put his song in a video game ;p Read the chorus carefully. Everything before the chorus it just random words. "Nature is a whore"-random. "Bruises on the fruit"-random. "Likes to shoot his gun" means likes to shoot his mouth. In other words someone who does have't a clue about what the song means likes to tell others what it means. You guys are doing exactly what Kurt is talking about. It's not random, you have to read into it. Look at it this way, the first line of the first verse goes into the first line of the second verse, the second line of the first verse goes into the second line of the second verse, and so on. It makes more sense that way (on the inside cover it is written that way in a poem) He uses nature as a metaphor for human fertility. Sell the kids for food, we can have some more The kids in nature would be fruits, which you'd sell as food, since you'll always be able to have more fruit. It's about using the reproductive system for something other than what it is meant for (in this case food, the theme is linked to again in the chorus). Weather changes moods, nature is a whore This is about the mood swings that girls experience going into puberty and pregnancy (the weather of her body). Mother nature is a whore because she makes us so volatile. Spring is here again, bruises on the fruit Another reference to entering puberty and this time abused genitalia (abused in that it's used carelessley too often). Reproductive glands, tender age in bloom The most literal sentence here, again using the nature theme to describe human fertility. Then the chorus He's the one who likes all our pretty songs And he likes to sing along And he likes to shoot his gun But he knows not what it means Knows not what it means And I say He's the one who likes all our pretty songs And he likes to sing along And he likes to shoot his gun But he knows not what it means Knows not what it means And I say yeah Shooting his gun is shooting your load, and the man doing it is blissfully ignorant of the importance of the creation of life that it represents. The first line of the verse is about using the reproductive system of plants for food, and the chorus is about using the reproductive system of humans for fun, without paying it any respect. The song no doubt has a meaning describing people who listen to catchy, "pretty" music without really paying attention to what it means, but I think there's a much deeper meaning about adolescents who sleep around as soon as they start getting horny, as soon nature lets their little bodies develop. Kurt was a great lyricist. |
