| The Flaming Lips – The Sound of Failure/It's Dark... Is It Always This Dark?? Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
seems to me like this song is a critique of the music industry. from what i can tell, he is suggesting that the industry as it is now is composed of artist like Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears, who, although their music is insanely popular, fail to actually discuss anything of importance in their music, or even question much of anything. It seems as though Wayne views this as a failure of the music industry as a whole, yet he also realizes there is nothing "she" or anyone can do about "a sound going through your head" and that the solution is to just let them go on. that is just my interpretation anyway |

| just to clarify, "that's all" isn't part of the lyrics | |
| Jamiroquai – Hot Tequila Brown Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure the lyrics is "how many times, can a man/watch the sun rise over his head/without feeling free?" Otherwise, it just does not make sense. Also, "should've" should be "shouldn't 've" The chorus repeats after the second verse as well, except it is a little different: Don?t shoot me down The sun shining down, I?m hot tequila brown Don?t shoot me down I?m stone cold, but I?m lying here in the Sunshine shining down Sunshine shining down Sunshine shining down that's all |

| Gorillaz – All Alone Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I think whoever talked about biblical references was on target, but missed the mark a little. First off, yes they are biblical references, but they are references to two JEWISH texts. This song is mainly about the plight of the israelis in the middle east, and how they have to deal with islamic extremism to defend their own territory. | |
| The Flaming Lips – Waitin' for a Superman Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
with teeth that makes absolutely no sense, why would the line "it's just too heavy for superman to lift" exist? God is omniscient and well within the capability of solving every problem.... However, this song has a lot of meaning to it. When Wayne writes about how "heavy" things are getting, I think he is referring to all the problems in the world. He's saying that there are so many problems in the world, only one man can do so much and that everyone needs to do their part by not only holding on but maintaining hope. |

| The Flaming Lips – Assassination of the Sun Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| My inclination is that in this song the sun is meant to represent heaven. I could be looking too deep into this but it seems to me that Wayne is referring to the assassination of what is good in this world by the evils in our daily life. He may be referring to the evangelical movement when he says "they have begun to celebrate the tidal wave they think is great/the ever beating heart that it wasnt" and how from the inside the evangelists see it as a fantastice movement but on the outside theyre running a horrible machine that churns out pain instead of orange, but operates under the facade of something heavenly ("and everything was orange). | |
| Sublime – Same In The End Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| this song is about the extreme aspects of society and how ridiculous they are. when he says "In my mind, in my brain/I go back and go completely insane/It ain't personal, it ain't me" he is referring to how ridiculous and painful every single person's past is regardless of who you are, you will be effected by at least one problem in society and it will make you upset if you look back on it. These range from child abuse to governmental abuse of power to things such as obesity, but all are discussed with an extremely cynical undertone. He is not suggesting that he has made a pact with the devil to ignore these issues and do whatever he wants, but rather suggesting that it is in his power to do these things, not care about the detrimental effects of his actions and still end up the same in the end as everyone else (dead). | |
