| Daughters – Recorded Inside A Pyramid Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
|
i wear my secrets like a, like a wedding band. i was teaching myself how they wither imminent. flat footed, mule face fucking shit breaks out of my key. i drew a portrait of how i think i knew who i am without my mouth. oh, oh, oh, oh. and if you could...and if you could see me now i'd have all the makings of a respectable man, all the qualifications in your best friends. and if this was in my way, i'd come over and show you what makes a man making a man making a madman, man, making a man. well, if that girl could see me now. fingers like a book about preaching into my chest ain't saving now. |

| Daughters – Fiery Lyrics

|
this is red when we paint for awhile with a fireplace of cream. this is my mouth with sharp silver teeth and our implausible dream. these are the pews we've sunk to your bible lips like you've never seen. we're smoking the sun as it showers its signature fire. (look, but don't leave us behind) THIS is how it feels when there is no product in the store. THIS is how it hits on a dime with handles on the door. THIS is sleep with every move or walk from our little house. THIS IS HOW YOU GO PRETTY THERE AS QUIET AS A MOUSE. |

| Daughters – Daughters Spelled Wrong Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
those lyrics are wrong.
wrongdoer
evildoer
more worthless than nicotine (?)
transgressor
a bad example
scoundrel's but a name
miscreant
viperish
the devil incarnate
a monster, demon, fallen angel
murderer and thief
lost sheep
black sheep, black god
lowful and sneaky
good for nothing
assfucking
son of a bitch
i've been called a sinner. |

| Antony and the Johnsons – You Are My Sister Lyrics
| 18 years ago

|
antony has said numerous times that he felt completely lost until he saw the cover of a culture club album and saw boy george and finally felt like there was someone out there that understood them. i'm with pumkinhed, but it definitely applies to the relationship antony felt with boy george just from a simple album cover. |

| Arcade Fire – Cold Wind Lyrics

|
this is probably reaching, but i'm gonna say it's about sadness. and the part about "if they find me, tell the papers..." he's saying that there won't even be a body anymore, just that paralyzing breeze. in the summer, it's freezing. there's music playing, and you don't hear it. happiness has become locked out. |

| Converge – You Fail Me Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
"thinking we fail you you fail yourself." that could be about lovers, that could be about converge. i know i'm not the first to feel a huge cartharsis after hearing "jane doe", but i doubt that everyone was fine after. things take time. hope takes time. i think it's about not being able to move on. i think the (you) in the song is objective.. |

| Converge – Drop Out Lyrics

i think it's about a relationship that's doomed from the beginning. maybe not intentionally, but because of their collective flaws and doubts (devils & demons) they're just not able to move forward with it. |

| John Vanderslice – June July Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
i think it's about looking for meaning in things that were thought to have been important. confusion tennesee and the battlefield are metaphors for his state of mind and the relationship. and his relationship feels like it's just another catalogued one in the books. just something that happened. so he's looking for meaning and everything is telling him to go back home, and when he finally does start to leave it's too late cos fate decided to give him a little push and wake him up with a brand new day, something to look forward to past the rain. |

| Cursive – Butcher the Song Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
to me, the ugly organ has a triple meaning: the instrument, his heart, and his penis. yes, his penis. the latter only in a joking way.
as for the butcher's knife the song could be akin to bright eyes' false advertisements in which conor sings about his puppet strings. and this song leads into driftwood which could mean that tim doesn't want to write what people want to hear anymore. he just wants to write what he feels. |

| Rilo Kiley – A Better Son/Daughter Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
it's definitely about being depressed/bipolar. and overcoming it by finding the small things about life to be happy about. and telling yourself that everything will be okay cos although it might not turn out to be as great as you hope it WILL be okay. everyone totally seems to disregard this line : "you're weak but not giving in." her happiness is a lie that she's forcing into existence. |

it sounds just like any other pixies song. which is why it's underwhelming. which is a good thing. it's been 12 years and they sound exactly the same. |

| The Blood Brothers – Celebrator Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
i think it's about the people who want to feel good about it. but know that they can't because there's such a contradiction to everything about it.
confetti = shrapnel
punctured skulls = victims of the war (both iraqi and american)
amputee stripper = all the amputees that returned from the war
oil and sand = self explanatory |

actually, richard just recorded himself saying a bunch of random shit. and then chopped this together. i don't think there is a meaning. find beauty in the random complexities of inane babble? maybe. |

johnny said this in an interview: 'Every Breath is a Bomb' is about Jordan's grandma's death, and kind of deals with modern medicine's fetish with keeping human beings alive after they are vegetables, or so fucked up that they aren't really living.” |

| The Blood Brothers – Peacock Skeleton with Crooked Feathers Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
i think that it IS about the media. and how people put all their faith in getting their information from these heavily biased networks, which kind of plays into figuring out "which peacock is beast / which peacock is priest?" it also seems to be about how george bush and the media used fear ("a panicked face") to keep people sedated, and keep them from asking questions and learning about things for themselves instead of just trusting the networks. ("things are never what they seem / the peacock static melodies") that's what i thought anyway. |

| Elliott Smith – Say Yes Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
this song isn't about dying in your sleep.
it's about making a huge mistake. about letting someone go, because you've become so used to being let down. "a happy day and then you pay."
it's about wanting that person back, and knowing how you've made a mistake. ("she'll decide what she wants")
it's about how being with that one girl makes a shitty world beautiful. |

it sounds like "i don't wanna laugh until you're dead." which would make sense, as if any blood brother's song makes sense, because vultures only come around when people are dead. |

they will be singing on the new album, but it's all in hopelandic. they would rather fans come up with their own lyrics. they're including tissue paper inside the cd case for fans to write down their lyrics, and then they'll be able to submit them to the official sigur ros website where a computer program will be able to recognize words, and after they've gotten enough all the submitted word will "become" the lyrics. |

spirit, you really should go buy the new album. it's absolutely amazing from start to finish. if you like this song, you'll love the entire album especially 'song for the dead' which has the most awesome opening i've ever heard for a song. dave grohl is seriously one of the greatest drummers living. |

it only sounds perfect coming from the cure. the tempo is just right with this one. i prefer the slow sounding one to the getup kids version, not that i have anything against them. |
