| Less Than Jake – The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I just saw NOFX in concert and FAT MIKE was too drunk too play the entire show. He actually fell of the stage twice and was naked at one point during the show. It made me think of this song. Then I listened to this song and it definitely sounds like the dudes from LTJ reaching out for a friend they see in trouble, someone who was one of the brightest bulbs on the punk scene. | |

Okay guys. This isn't about Christianity. It's about transcendentalism(look it up). Transcendentalism is pretty much the core of most religions before all of the bullshit got piled up ontop and everybody started claiming gods and the whole thing became misinterpretted. This song is about freeing yourself from the prison that is your mind to find your true essence. This whole record is about finding your true essence beneath who you think you are. |

| Alkaline Trio – Fall Victim Lyrics | 20 years ago |

this song is about how everyone thinks songs like "all on black" are all about worshipping satan. matt puts in little lines because he likes to get a rise out of people. this song is about him being fed up with interviewers or whoever always asking him about the "secret" meanings in his songs. "we heard our records backwards too many times" he had to listen to the reporters point out different "evil" messages in their songs. i think the autoclave reference has something to do like them feeling like test subjects. autoclaves are used in science experiments to sterilize tools and stuff like that. She came, she came with sterile warnings Screaming from her place Singing "I wanna make you bleed" "SHE" is the reporter. before she even talks to them, she is looking to make them look bad. She wants to make them "bleed", suffer, or look evil for their apparent messages in their songs. "We watched them fall in line" The interviewers line up to talk to alkaline trio, like a press junket or whatever where each interviewer has like 10 minutes alone with the band to interview them, then its the next ones turn. Each interviewer probably asked the same question over and over again. "As I fell victim to double suicide on your television." I'm not sure what the "double" suicide is about. Perhaps he's saying they attempted to ruin the credibility of him and Alkaline Trio by asking these same questions of hiddene evil messages over and over. He's wasting his breath trying to explain himself and he feels like he's wasting his time dealing with these interviewers who don't really care about him to begin with, just trying to start controversy or whatever. "They told me I had hell to pay" They scolded him for putting those lyrics in his songs. They don't understand the Trio's songs to begin with so Matt had nothing to say and just walked away. He couldn't deal with that shhhhhiit any more. Well thats what I've always thought this song was about. |

i know this song was on the "rock against bush" cd, but i don't think it's about bush. first off, if it was on the rock against bush cd, it shows that less than jake don't really like the president all too much. so if they don't like the president why do they think he's "waging a war against so many years of lies" ? bush is the liar. he's the one telling the lies, and less than jake obviously wouldn't think bush was trying to fix all these past president liars or whatever. also "The brightest bulb has burnt out" is the name of the song. bush has always been a dumbass. he's never been a "bright bulb" to begin with. that's why i think it's about mr. fat mike himself. he was the "brightest bulb" in the political punk scene for a while. "burnt out" is referring to the drugs/partying that fatty used to do. mike's even written songs about it "whoops i o'd" and "wore out the soles of my party boots" even if its not about fat mike from nofx, its definetly about some person who was politcally charged and wanted a change, but got stuck in drugs and what not, but the 20years thing and the "longest line" both reference nofx so thats why i gotta go with fat mike. |

| Alkaline Trio – Private Eye Lyrics | 21 years ago |

here's what i think: i think its about Matt thinking his chick is cheating on him, so he goes off and spies on her, like a "private eye" would. the whole new years eve thing is him being alone on new years and wondering where his ladyfriend is. and the chorus "at the right place, at the right time, ill be dead wrong and youll be just fine." its like he's saying matt's ideal outcome is he'd be wrong about his suspisions that she's cheating on him, and she's okay with the fact that he was snooping around and spying on her, and she's going to love him and he'll be "her private eye", meaning they'll be together. thats what matt wants, doesn't mean that it happened or will happen. |

i think its about fat mike from NOFX. "the longest line" is a direct reference to a NOFX song. NOFX has been around for 20 years (gone by much to fast). and fatty's been known to hit the drugs and alcohol quite a bit. also, the "you said youve been waging a way against so many years of lies" is about how mike writes his songs about the government and all that nice stuff. he's waging his war against the governments lies. so they're saying they're looking out for fatty and they'll be there for him cause nofx rules. thats just my view on it, its probably wrong but whatever. |

I just want to say this to all of you. Be your fucking selves, okay? Who fucking cares what music you listen to. The way I see it is, if i like it, i fucking like it. Who cares if its pop or whatever. I'm so sick of this music snobs running around acting like their music is the shit. They are fucking pretenious asshole motherfuckers. Just like what you like and who cares what these faggots think because at least your being yourself, and thats a hell of a lot more than they can say. |

| Thrice – The Artist in the Ambulance Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
okay. this song is easy. it's about an accident (obviously) that causes the lead singer of thrice to "rethink" his station in life. he's questioning whether what he does for a living is really that important. he is calling the ETM dude the artist, because what he does is meaningful. he is questioning whether if being a lead singer of a band is meaningful or not. "i know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound" he's referring to a concert here, saying that he hopes it can mean something more to someone then just flashing lights and sound. he's hoping he has the same impact on the audience as the EMT driver (or whoever) did on him. he thinks too many bands pretend to want to "move" and change people's lives but don't really care. "i know that there's a difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have there's a line drawn in the sand, i'm working up the will to cross it" |
