this song is about the brutal warfare in the pacific during world war too, against japan, not d-day, not germany.

although "her" is left up to interpretation, i think he means the US,

Men at Work – Down Under Lyrics 19 years ago
this song was purported by the band to be about "crass european culture" attempting to overtake that of austrailia's

Hippie trail likely refers to the plethora of hippie music fests they have/had, including tanelorn. Zombie is aussie slang for marijuana.

Alkaline Trio – Mr. Chainsaw Lyrics 19 years ago
this song is about being into someone who plays with your heart, and then when you finally realize they are never going to be with you, you wish you could cut off all these pieces of you that decieved you. but you really know its not their fault, or your ears or eyes fault. its your fault, and that just makes you angry...

yea, im going through the same thing right now, it sucks... but singing about it helps. ^_^

Aloha – You've Escaped Lyrics 20 years ago
This is corrected for what I heard

"To escape, you must've been brave.
It was a frightening case, where somebody chased you to the same place where your eyes closed.
In the same haze.

Say hello to the monster in your home.
Who roams around when he thinks that he's alone.
It's a dream.
But no one can hear you scream.
No one can hear you.
But you'll get light - though theres not a star tonite.

Oh, you'll be standing by my side.
You'll be standing by my side.

On the street, wires walk with me.
Position me to where I can follow your lead.
You say I never leave.
But I've been everywhere, I've weaved through the parking lots, dodging speeding cars and shopping carts.
Say goodnight to the contents of your room.
Trim the lights for the spinning of the moon.
In your bed, it's a shoulder for your head or a helicopter pad.

You're not blind, theres not a star in the sky.
But, do you see in the corner of your eye.
Do you see in the corner of your eye that I'm standing by your side.
Do you see in the corner of your eye that I'm standing by your side.
That I'm standing by your side."

Alkaline Trio – Take Lots With Alcohol Lyrics 21 years ago
That part about heckled on the stage part, is prolly a reference to shakespeares line in macbeth about "fretting about the stage." Just a thought, I could be wrong. GREAT SONG! Next to Bloodied Up, its my favorite on the album.

Alkaline Trio – You're Dead Lyrics 21 years ago
This song is a plea to god, and then it switches to his loved one, and then a complaint because the worlds religions dont sate his yearning for preparedness for the otherside. He thinks the the preparations are insufficient and do nothing at all.

Saves the Day – What Went Wrong Lyrics 21 years ago
This song sort of reminds me of those books they made you read in high school where a group of kids gets together to do something that otherwise would be harmless but in an effort to get their innocent and naive point across. Unfortunatly something goes wrong and someone gets seriously hurt and the kids eventually through some cathartic event comes to surrender themselves to the authorities. This song is what these three kids sing while they wait to be processed. But its emo you know? so naturally it has some amount of self loathing normally associated with said music, hence all the pain and anguish and strip searches.

Kinda makes me wonder what happened to make leonard so aghast, or molly so scared, or why the shnizzel walter is wearing women's clothing. (not that there is anything wrong with that.)

Bowling for Soup – Punk Rock 101 Lyrics 21 years ago
I think its a cool song, its punk, its punk for them anyway. If you say that punk is whatever you say it is, then you're not punk, your a close minded loser. A professor who says darwins theory's are crackpot, THATS PUNK. An old black lady who doesnt want to give up her seat on the bus to some white person, THATS PUNK. Tackling midgets and getting drunk for no reason, doing drugs, that stuff is stupid, but if you like it, more power to you. So what if they sing about girls, if you dont like it, dont listen to it.

Guster – Amsterdam Lyrics 21 years ago
very very very very catchy song, I love the lyrics... which obviously deal with drugs... I think a bitter person is getting ready to break up with a burn out and wants to tell them while they're high to see their reaction.
