How does this have no comments? Best Black Flag song in my opinion... I think it's pretty self explanatory, being sort of a prisoner to your own thoughts. I relate |

From what I've heard, the milkman refused to deliver milk to RDJ because of the loud music coming from his flat. So that's actually what this song is about, for real |

This is just my opinion but I get the impression is about Christina's fame and her relationship with the paparazzi, the paparazzi being the birds of prey. |

| Stephen Brodsky – Red Headed Butterflies Lyrics

Hmm, I really had no idea what this song was about... after typing up the lyrics, I realize it is probably about war, the dangers of blind patriotism and so on (probably about the Iraq war, to be specific). I think that "red headed butterflies" refers to bombs/missiles, something like that.
Stephen Brodsky is a genius... |

| Le Tigre – This Island Lyrics

I'm pretty sure it's "Stop smoking those cigarettes, liberty" not whatever is written here. That would make the NYC metaphor more obvious, since she'd be referring to the statue of liberty. |

I don't know, but I've heard that the 'seven' he was referring to in this song was actually the seven major religions of the world. I don't know if that's true of not, but I think it seems to make sense. There seems to be a lot of religious references in this song. |

| The Bangles – Eternal Flame Lyrics

|
In this song, the singer is realizing how in love she is with someone. She describes the (burning) feeling her lover gives her as an "eternal flame" --- in other words, she's realizing that this is a kind of love that lasts forever. |

| Gackt – Vanilla Lyrics

This song is pretty much about having a burning, passionate desire for someone, sexually speaking. It's not a romantic love song or anything, purely about lust! It is a very sexy song, the lyrics are great. |

| Seal – Prayer For The Dying Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
The beginning of this song clearly describes different situations in which a person is dying, or on the verge of death. Perhaps the people dying are friends/family of Seal's. The first one seems to be about a drug addict, the second one about a person dying of old age.
Then the chorus-ish part begins with "Crossing that bridge..." . In this part of the song, Seal is basically saying that death is not "the end", and that without death, life would be meaningless. He also says that he will be with the dead ---in heaven or wherever--- in only a matter of time, but that life will carry on despite his death.
I think in the second verse, beginning with "Just say die..." is telling the listener to make the most out of life while s/he is still alive and to persue his/her dreams. When he sings "please don't cry" I think he's telling the listener ---and probably himself-- not to be frightened by what he's singing, that it's only "A Prayer for the Dying". He sings "I just don't know what's got into me" because he can't figure out why his mind wandered to such a morbid place.
The last verse, beginning with "there is a light through that window", is again stating that death is not the end, and that there is a better place after death.
The song winds down with "Life carries on. When nothing else matters... I just don't know what's got into me." This is tricky, but I believe he is saying that life moves on even when you feel hopeless (when nothing else matters), and again, Seal wonders why he is thinking about things like death.
It is truly an amazing song, with incredible lyrics that contain subject matter that not many artists have bothered to explore. |
