expressions on their faces-
just reactions to the situation.
resist the machine
as long as time allows you to breathe

just like the Lion and the Lamb-
yea, but only in real life
you won't see hunter and prey polluting the same space

ooo afraid to go
ooo but i can't speak for myself

just like the blind leading the blind-
yea, but only in real life
you can't see the lives that we lead
when you've lost your will to be

the machine sucks you in
and spits you out
ooo but i can't speak for myself

force fed my own blood,
i'll drink to bad taste

a toast to bad taste

    Whoa. At first I was like, "What king of song name is A Toast To Bad Taste?" But I gave it a try and ended up lovin' the song! Listen to it! Uh, what it means? Couldn't tell you that...my sister thinks it has something to do with government...don't know why though. But maybe. At least she has a guess. Maybe its like that sweet movie V For Vendetta...Nah...Or maybe, I dunno! Someone help, I can't decide! I'm not good at this!

    What's your problem, Paradiso? Show some respect. V was a decent movie anyway.

    Not sure what the song means, though. It's railing against some sort of corrupted status quo... whether it's specifically government or corporations or just "the world," I don't know.

    and who are you to tell him what to do. the fact of the matter is, BenefitOfTheDoubt said nothing wrong and for you to get worked up, let alone cuss at him, exposes more of your character than his. if you have any moral integrity and remote intellect, you would apologize and shutup and take your verbal filth somewhere more accepting.

    oh and good song by the way.

    This song is really confusing, especially how people are having a conversation about something that really doesn't matter.

    Um, well, maybe a bad relationship? You can tell that the narrator is hurt about something. There's some Bible references though (ex: "lion and lamb") so maybe he's giving up on religion? Come on peeps!

    I think that thepianominstrel hit the mark on this one. The song is about people (mainly Christians) following the status quo of the mainstream world when they should be influencing others on a better lifestyle. Instead of doing this however we have the "blind leading the blind" It also talks about how as Christians we shouldn't be hanging around and being influenced by the evils in the world instead of living in God. "you won't see hunter and prey polluting the same space." That's just me though, I could be wrong on some stuff.

    I reckon this song is about resisting Government and the bullshit they feed us. & how everyone like conforms to the law and shit and "the machine" are the lies of the country and the police. Could be wrong tho. Oh, nd V for Vendetta is an amazing movie, It has a deep meaning and is oh so very true. Detention Centers and Bishops that fuck lil girls. being imprisoned in your own body full of hate, & standing up for the country when the governent fails to give a shit. I adore V =]

    I agree with The Blastority, like how Christians think that since they have God, they're so much better than the non-christians.

    Proof: "just like the Lion and the Lamb- yea, but only in real life you won't see hunter and prey polluting the same space "

    Self-explanatory from above haha

    The song is about the music industry... "resisting the machine" is them (Far-Less) keeping to their individual music style and not conforming. As far as the Lion and the Lamb that has to do with how mainstream music and anything other clash. "But I can't speak for myself," that line is about the independence you lose when you allow the industry to control your musical direction. Think about it; Far-Less is an extremely talented small town band struggling because they wont change themselves.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
