Damon Albarn – Mr Tembo Lyrics 10 years ago
A song about an elephant. Metaphor? alternate meanings? = Euthanasia (in my opinion)

Damon Albarn – Hostiles Lyrics 10 years ago
I think this is a song about the things that disturb a person from the understanding between body and soul. Hostiles, or unwanted disturbances that keep us from being truly whole or one. The communications between body and soul or lack of. The plan to one day take the time get it all together

Gorillaz – The Parish of Space Dust Lyrics 10 years ago
This song seems to be about the scenery and vibe of Texas. The drive through Texas is brutal and dry, especially driving away from the scenery surrounding it. I think this album was written in a tour bus while touring the states. Texas is a realy hyped state with much pride, but the drive through texas is a devestating one.

Nine Inch Nails – Find My Way Lyrics 10 years ago
I relate to this song, like most NIN songs, so I figured I'd post my thoughts.
I was raised catholic. I turned myself away from religion in my teenage years. Teen angst, experimentation, pleasures.. All seemingly routes of "escape" from the idea of myself "under god", maybe. Attempts to find a better or more genuine frame of mind, and find out the truth through experience. Sinning and ignorance, wih unmentioned pure intentions. Eventually though after everything I began praying to god. It feels right. Now that it is by my own will, to my own creation or interpretation. My belief that all of this is far too perfect to be what it may seem to be sometimes. Anyways, instead of going on about my relgion. This song is very familiar, it sounds like my prayers.

This seems like a sincere prayer to god.
This song adds dimension to Trents creation that is NIN.

Nine Inch Nails – I Would for You Lyrics 10 years ago
"What a pathetic string of words
just leave them laying on the floor
..the warning posted on the door
not over here, not anymore"

Imagine a "do not disturb" or "privacy"
I think he's revealing that he has finally let someone in, probably his wife.

"There was a place it could have been
step over all that used to be
Since you have let yourself come in
some things I'd rather you not see"

His first thought is that he doesn't want her to see everything. Unfinished pieces. Imperfections. Imagine the lyrics for Hurt, lyring on the floor of his bedroom. Imagine a girl randomly picking up the notebook and reading that kind of private revelation. Then imagine everyone else reading it.

"See I keep lying to myself
don't know what else there is to do
if I could be somebody else
well I think I would for you"

He releases these private revelations to everyone. He knows that he's lyring to himself when he says "some things I'd rather you not see". He has discovered that opening the doors brings him relief and gratification. If he could be more open and honest then, "well i think i would for you"

"Didn't it seem like something more?
so long I can't remember when
All this has happened all before
and this will happen all again
and I only have myself to blame
and I only have myself to bla-"

At the time, when he was in the process of revealing something new, like his self destructiveness. It seemed like something huge. But after stepping over all that he used to be, it's hard to relate. It happened once, then it happened many more times. His loneliness, emptiness, etc.

"See I keep lying to myself
don't know what else there is to do
if I could be somebody else
well I think I would for you
See I keep lying to myself
don't know what else there is to do
if I could be somebody else
well I think I would for you"

I think this is where the genius of the song becomes clear. The revelation to himself that He only lies to others because he is lying to himself.

Nine Inch Nails – Various Methods of Escape Lyrics 10 years ago
"I think I could lose myself in here"
I think this lyric pretty much describes the rest of the song.

Finding various ways to get away from himself. Every one of them just making it harder to do it.

Hallucinogens, Amphetamines, opiates

and Music

Nine Inch Nails – All Time Low Lyrics 10 years ago
Self analyzation of early NIN. Trent remembering what it was like at the beginning. Fueled by every low, and letting them out in forms of songs. Awesome songs. (had to say it)

His voice in echo stereo. The song being another one of his all time lows. He barely just got into drugs (no heroin yet), had no idea what was coming.

For those of you who don't know what all happened to him, its very interesting you should read up . wiki "la mer"..

Anyways, more lyrics about drug use. coming back for more. Crys for help. In so many of his songs what he is basically saying is, "Hey! Everything isn't okay"

The end makes me want to think he's getting to the point where he can't ignore signs anymore that NINs dying out.

And that now it's time to advertise... Advertise everything so everyone can see it and
"stretch across the sky"

IDK that last part was pretty much typed out without thinking.
