| Mastodon – Dry Bone Valley Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Head down running from the beast Break neck speed taking all my breath Black feet scraped and scarred and dripping blood Rain come down, take me with your flood I came to and I was running from you I feel your breath on the back of my neck Where have I come to be? Is this all that's left for me? I wish that I was still there I wanna keep on breathing Bulls roar loud, snakes move past my feet No teeth, no hands set me free Bones start rattling 'round inside my head I don't know if I'm alive or dead I came to and I was running from you I feel your breath on the back of my neck Where have I come to be? Is this all that's left for me? I wish that I was still there I wanna keep on breathing Dig deep, kicking up rocks and dirt and sand Out of this life, this valley, bones in hand Over these mountains to the seas of life Leave this desert for the sick and damned. |

| the tentacle stretch of the music is really visual, you can almost picture the ghostly cartoony music notes creeping through the doorway into his ear like an octopus tentacle, lol | |
| Foo Fighters – Bridge Burning Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Mightyquinn, just because a band is hard and heavy does not mean Jesus can't come into the equation. The Bible is probably the heaviest piece of writing ever concieved, dealing with issues such as the ETERNAL SALVATION OF HUMANITY. Heavy subject matter... Anyway, Black Sabbath were not Christian, yet their song After Forever deals with the worlds denial of Jesus and redemption in a negative light. It seems in Bridges Burning, the Foos have taken a leaf out of the Black Sabbath book. Society is burning the bridges between itself and God, and some of the imagery in this song, such as the "test of faith" and "king of second chances" suggest that this is what the song is about. Even if the Foos aren't Christian. Brilliant stuff. | |

The funny thing is, the party kids who listen to this shit say my music is satanic (Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin) when basically all those bands songs are about peace, love, revolution and other dark realities and how society is CONNECTED to Satan. I'm not a bible basher or religious, but to be honest, this is one of the most "Satanic" songs I've ever come across if you think about what the bible says about drunkeness/alcohol and giving in to temptation/lust as referenced in the guys verses, and yeah, I've heard a lot of death metal in my time, and all that really does is drop Satans name. Thirteen year old girls hear this on daytime radio and sing it constantly. I believe in creative freedom but this is just mind control. |

| Arctic Monkeys – Dance Little Liar Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
OK im going to put forward a rather odd interpretaton here, but i believe it to make sense. I heard the truth was built to bend A mechanism to suspend the guilt Is what you are requiring still You've got to dance little liar This song is about how different members of the public will react to the arctic monkeys change in direction. the lyrics above basically translate to me as "you are going to lie about liking our new direction and youre going to dance away, feeling guilty that you dont like our new tracks." Just like those fibbs to pop and fizz And you'll be forced to take that awful quiz And you're bound to trip And she'll detect the fiction on Yr lips and dig a contradicion up When people ask you if you like Humbug, you will feel awkward and claim you like it, feeling ashamed that you dont. And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When theres dirt beneth the dirt The liar takes a lot less time You will like this album a lot eventually, (i believe it to be a grower) however the liars claim to like it instantly Im sure its clear and plain to me Its not an alibi you need just yet Oh no its something for those beads of sweat Yes that we'll get you back to normal the liar cant cope with the change the monkeys have undergone, he wants more of the happy, poppy, earlier stuff. And after you have dabbed the patch you’ll grieve And then proceed to scratch the varnish off That newly added calmness So as not to raise any alarms too soon Critics of the album will diss it fairly quickly so as not to raise any alarm that after a few listens, humbug becomes an amazing album. And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When theres dirt beneath the dirt The liar takes a lot less Time to decide on his saunter Have you got itchy bones? And in all your time alone Can you hack your mind being riddled with the wrong memories? "can you cope with our change from the way we once were?" :) And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When theres dirt between the dirt you will always find fault with humbug, noone ever copes with such a drastic change in musical direction. I have seen these situations amongst my friends that have humbug, some hated it, it grew on some, some loved it instantly (little liars... heh heh) Well it sounded like i was dissing Humbug in my interpretation and ill be honest its nowhere near as good as favourite worst nightmare or whatever people say, but after a few listens i loved i and im going to see arctic monkeys live for the second time next month :) |

| Queens of the Stone Age – The Sky Is Fallin' Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I agree with perfect5th this song also has a personal meaning for me, im using it as therapy lol. anyway heres my interpretation The sky is falling This human race that we run has left me crawling Staring straight at the sun In other words, all the shit of the world and shit that people do has brought this guy to his knees. All in a moment I notice that every dog has his day I paid attention, it cost me so much to hate He is realising that everything will get better and hating and worrying has only cost him. For so long I saw only wrong But now to remind it's a waste of time Self explanitory Close your eyes and see the skies are falling Close your eyes and see the skies are falling I wanted something, nothing, blank, I don't know It's hard deflecting Stones are easy to throw Its hard avoiding the bad things in life, as they can happen easily. All in a moment I noticed Hours, days, left behind On wasted, useless, selfish, none of a kind He notices that he should have ignored all the shit of the world and lost "hours, days" worrying or being upset. For so long I saw only wrong But now to remind, not to go back to the low That has drained my life so long That has drained my life so long That has drained my life so long That has drained my... The anxiety and anger at his situation has been getting at him for so long and he cant go back to feeling this way, its possible something bad is happening to him at the time of writing and hes reminding himself not to go back. Close your eyes and see the skies are falling Close your eyes and see the skies are falling Close your eyes and see the skies are falling Close your eyes and see the skies are falling basically, what his problem was in the first place. this is like saying "take a look at how terrible everything is, cant you see?" This is by far one of the best QOTSA songs, merely because it is so sorrowful, but in a powerful, uplifting way. Josh Homme, we salute you. And as for Dave Grohl, he gets his chance to shine on the rest of the album.. yet his drums in this song propel the wonderful riff along at a steady pace. Rock on. |
