| A Perfect Circle – Pet Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
maynard james keenan never tells you what the songs are about - he wants you to make a decision yourself. Tool is a different band from A Perfect Circle. And the theme of the album is that of a 12-step program *the 13th step, get it?* what song is it on the album? 10 out of 12. Look at the progression of the themes of the songs and make your own decision. "One of the best things about the 12 Steps is they give us the way to heal. The 10th Step even gives us a way to heal almost instantly." - about taking responsibility for your mistakes. |

| The Used – The Taste Of Ink Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
You write things down in ink - thoughts, feelings, stories. But how often do they get out to the people? If you've got a target for your writing - you just 'write it down' and leave it alone. sometimes, though - you gotta say what's on your mind and get the situation over with. I agree that it's about the band. But personally, I can see several situations in my life where I've put pen to paper and - stop somewhere in the middle because I put the pen in my mouth (literally - dont' ask why) and wonder what it would be like - the scenario - if I could just come out and tell someone what I'm writing about - an ex-friend who screwed me over to fuck off , or telling those who think they know what a situation is that only "act" like they know what's really up. You can take it any way. That's what makes this song so great. |

| Sentenced – Blood & Tears Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I think it's very simply about the troubles of life and how we get knocked down and get back up again. We go through tragedy and sorrow, and either you let it keep you down, or you drive on and learn from it - and keep going. The last lines, "Everything seems so worthwhile, for a moment." are about the NOW, from a spiritual standpoint - our lives and how we measure things - the past, present, future, etc. - are a string of *moments*. When it's a "worthwhile" moment in time - it always passes... until we come upon the next one, and between the good times, we have the traumas. Death is imminent. The cycle of trauma and joy ends , on this plane, when one's body dies. I think the lyrics speak for themself. |
