Marilyn Manson – Great Big White World Lyrics 23 years ago
The first verse seems like all the things he was yearning for in the beginning are not greater once he's close to them...being a spaceman now he burns up (out) and it wasn't as glittery as he thought stardom would be (or any place higher than the norm for the general public)

and as unsatisfactory as the star studded life is, he doesn't miss the lacking world he left behind, where all there is is pain and digression.

The corus... Everything is white...everything. so he's pointing out how monotonous people are, cities are all the same, everywhere is white (the default standard form). We don't know what love is anymore really, we hate ouselves trying to be better, we hate other people, not even giving them a chance...people don't even try to make new friends really anymore. He's in a state of discomfort and isn't being looked after by anyone. Wishing that this girl was queen... maybe she'll be able to fix everything wrong with this world... all he can do is wish and hope though...that's all he can say.

Hell froze over...so something that wasn't supposed to happen happened, wether he wanted it to or not. Thr rose a simbol of love or friendish is hurting him, the thing that held those friends is broken and they're all falling away. and the rest is his usual jesus mary part, but what's interesting about it is he's saying it the way it didn't happen, saying taht even if jesus wasn't born people would still be praying... like first nature... like a praying mantis does automatically.

and no matter which way you cut it, the world is ugly now, all the same, mindless, no evolution... ugly.

System of a Down – CUBErt Lyrics 23 years ago
i was explained part of this song a long time ago... there is a woman who changed her last name to Popcorn because she became a pop-corn seller and that was her life... so that part of the song is about how people become what they do or sell... it's a little hazy, but i think it's understandable... i'll try to find her actual name...i think the person who explained it got it from NO LOGO... i'll go check.

Soulfly – Sangue de Bairro (Chico Science & Nação Zumbi cover) Lyrics 23 years ago
(copied from www.soulfly.com to ease your minds)
Blood From The Barrio

Bezouro, Moderno, Ezequiel,
Candeeiro, Ceca Preta, Labareda,
Azulão, Arvoredo, Quina-Quina,
Banananeira, Sabonete, Catingueira,
Limoeiro, Laparina, Mergulhão, Corisco!
Volta Seca, Jararaca, Cajarana, Viriato,
Gitirana, Moita-Brava, Meia Noite, Zabele!

These are the names of the members of Lampiao's gang! They were outlaw rebels that would steal from the rich and give to the poor (like a Brasilian Robin Hood). When they were captured, their heads were decapitated and displayed in the square of the city of Recife, Pernambuco.

Quando degolaram minha cabeça
Passei mais de dois segundos
Vendo meu corpo tremendo
E não sabia o que fazer
Morrer, viver, morrer, viver

Translation:
When they cut off my head
For more than two seconds
I watch my body shake
And I didn't know what to do
To die, to live, to die, to live

*i don't take any credit... just sharing

Soulfly – Enterfaith Lyrics 23 years ago
This song to me is about that time when you feel like everything is against you, you're frustrated and lost...then all of a sudden this HUGE power comes over you called faith... not necessarily faith in a god or anything...just faith that there will be an end to your suffering, and as always it has the Tribal feel to it... you aren't in this life alone... you have a whole tribe backing you up if you'd only look to find.
