| Lupe Fiasco – Superstar Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It's about fame being hard to come by and fleeting when it does. | |
| Fatlip – What's up Fatlip? Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The problem with it is that you almost believe his esteem is that low. | |
| Lupe Fiasco – Daydreamin' Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The first verse is about the mask (a robot) that he puts on with the real world. The line "I keep him happy because I might fall out if he cries" means he has to hide his pain behind the mask, if he revealed his true pain, he reveals himself. | |
| Barry Adamson – The Vibes Ain't Nothin' But The Vibes Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Another great Adamson shaggy dog story. Is he questioning the existence of love in an interracial romance, or the possibility of love between two people in itself? | |
| Low – Death of a Salesman Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I wouldn't put it exactly that way myself, but that's basically right. | |
| Low – John Prine Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| What's the reference to the singer John Prine? | |
| Low – Starfire Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Starfire was an ambulance driver. I think he's there tour manager now. | |

| Great song, and very underrated. | |
| Pavement – Blue Hawaiian Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The elvis movie? | |
| Pavement – Transport Is Arranged Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Yes, that line is great, but I always come back to that third verse. "I vent my spleen at the Lord, he is abstract and bored, too much milk and honey." | |
| Pavement – Shady Lane Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Excellent explanation. There's just one thing that bothers me - why is the restaurant serving a cheap-ass wine like Lancers? Could it be a Portuguese restaurant? | |
| Pavement – Cut Your Hair Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think the lines are: Don't remember lying I don't remember a line I don't remember a word |

| It's about sex. | |
| Pixies – Bailey's Walk Lyrics | 21 years ago |

| The Smiths – Accept Yourself Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Yes, but M. doesn't seem to have much hope that people will ever accept themselves. | |
| The Smiths – Meat Is Murder Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Worst song in the Smith's catalog, but I can't help singing that line about "savoring the flavor of murder" every time I slice up a nice, juicy New York Strip. The song really stays with you. | |
| The Smiths – Death of a Disco Dancer Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I think Bob's interpretation is pretty accurate. Of course most of the Smith's songs work on more than one level. | |
| Geto Boys – Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Although the 'political commentary' in this rap is a little weak, I'm all for Republican-baiting. | |
| P.O.D. – Abortion Is Murder Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
"...Every child born since 1973 knows that he or she could have been exterminated in his mother's womb with society's blessing..." Actually, I know that society wanted me to live, since I wasn't aborted. Too bad this song wasn't aborted. |
|
| Low – Closer Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| This song will always be about September 11th for me, because Low dedicated it to the people of New York City when they last played here. | |
| Billy Joel – It's Still Rock And Roll To Me Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Hardly qualifies as a rock song itself. | |
| Billy Joel – New York State Of Mind Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Too much Randy Newman. | |

|
| The Smiths – Bigmouth Strikes Again Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| This song sounds really serious until you listen carefully. Morrissey is a big goofball. | |
| The Smiths – The Boy with the Thorn in His Side Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Obviously about a closeted homophobe. | |
| The Smiths – Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Although my familiy doesn't like most of the music I listen to, this one struck a chord with all of them. Makes my dad laugh until he falls out of his chair. | |
| Pixies – Caribou Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
The song kicks major ass. What it means, I have no clue, does |
|
| Pixies – Tony's Theme Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Don't you wish you had your own theme way back when you were a BMX riding bad-ass? | |
| Pixies – Brick Is Red Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| These lyrics are all messed up. It's a "Fish is fast." | |
| Pixies – Palace Of The Brine Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| The brine shrimp of Utah are forever indebted to Mr. Francis. | |
| Pixies – Crackity Jones Lyrics | 22 years ago |
