| LOL...My profile also said until today that I last visited this site in 1969, do you take that as read too? I've lived in Australia my whole life, and you've obviously never lived outside your nice, cosy middle class suburb there champ. And if you don't like my interpretation of the song, that's fine. I think yours is banal and stupid but I'm certainly not whinging about it hahahaha | |

I don't think it's about a one night stand. I think it's about a man who has committed a crime in a rough neighbourhood and a young kid has witnessed it, and his warning to the kid. Essentially a comment on the sad state of many young lives in urban Australia is that a lot of kids are born into environments where crime is the norm, and I think that's what this is about... Hang up the phone, no need to cry. I’ll take you home, it’ll be alright. Tonight means nothing if we stay. He's addressing the witness, who is calling the cops. He's saying "I'm not going to hurt you, it's all right...no need to tell anyone" Staying here will only breed obsession, and I’m already obsessed. If everything you see is your possession, then I’m already possessed. He's addicted to the thrill of the crimes he commits...he's possessed by the adrenaline rush and the need, for whatever reason, to do what he does Careful kid - this is not your song, although it could be before too long. He's saying "Look out for yourself. It's too late for me (ie this is his song) but you can still get out Before too long, a lesson learned; to stand downwind and watch it burn, To the lake, wash away any trace of yesterday. The lesson learned is to keep to yourself. A predator will be hard pressed to smell prey that is downwind, it's essentially invisible. Pretty much he's saying "Kid, you look after yourself, keep out of trouble". The lake is where he washes away the evidence...be that a murder weapon or whatever I’ll take you home, it’ll be alright. Tonight means nothing if we stay. The night means nothing. If they stay and get caught, the message means nothing for the kid...he's caught up in it now Had you ever thought of waking up? Undercover, never letting up? "Think about it...have you ever thought about how life would be on the run? Never able to see anyone you knew, never able to rest" |

| AFI – Endlessly, She Said Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| The "girl" in question is actually misery. Just look at the chorus, the last line..."So spoke misery." No matter where he goes, what he does, he will always come hom to an empty house, misery will be his only friend. It's poignantly beautiful... | |
| AFI – Love Like Winter Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I'm going to put a different spin on it. I think it centres around gratitude. The singer is grateful towards his lover for all they have been through for him. The first verse is his warning about himself; he is difficult to be with, cold, distant, pensive and essentially scarred. He has sucked the warmth out of all his relationships, and it hurts him that he hurts others, so he tries to avoid any form of warm human contact. The second verse is where he realises that this isn't going to turn out like the others. He wonders if this is all real, or just an image in his mind, created out of figments of his hopes and dreams ("I barely dreamt her yesterday", "Read the lines in the mirror through the lipstick trace.") And he realises she wants to help him. The chorus is his exhaltation at finally finding happiness, his ultimate "thank you". This person has come into his life and taken away all that he had pent up inside ("She bit my lip, and drank my war from years before.") He believes that this love was destined to find him, it's in their blood to be together, and he is thanking her for finding him and putting up with him. I sang this to my gf and she cried... |

|
I don't think it's "But he doesn't want to read the message here", if you listen closely there are too many syllables. "Writing on the walls all around he can message you?" That seems more likely in that it has the correct number of syllables, but it doesn't quite sound right...in short, fuck knows what he's saying, lol. |

| Kisschasy – Love affair with distance Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It's about coping with a massive change in the person you love, and the fact that it drives you away from a once perfect relationship. It's cliche but in this case I think the change is due to drugs. This "Love affair with distance and with fear" actually refers to his feelings being dominated by feelings of distance and fear for his loved one. I think anyway | |
| 30 Seconds to Mars – Savior Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| My take on it....it's about religion. He's saying why live for someone else, someone you can't even be sure exists. Why put so much stock in faith rather than what you yourself can do and be. This is his chance at life and he's going to make the most of it, his way. | |
| 30 Seconds to Mars – From Yesterday Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Kind of sounds something like... "On a mountain, a city, not of gold, but of shale. Through the blood, he can learn, see the life that it took. From the count, to the one, he'll decide when he's done with the innocent." Love the song, although the album overall is a bit disappointing. Still a very good album, just not what I expected, it's a lot more bland. I think it's about the past catching up with a soldier or someone similar who's done things they weren't especially proud of. |

| 50 Cent – Candy Shop Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
There is one good thing about shitty rap songs and "artists" like this. They have absolutely no staying power. in 6 months, people will be saying "50 cent? Who the fuck is he?" And deservedly so. "Music" like this is what is wrong with the music industry today. Banal, shallow, repetitive, inane junk like this is getting all the airplay, while the good music wastes away in the shadows of what people consider to be "cool". Here's a news flash. Rap music is far from "cool". Just because every fucking teeny bopper from here to the friggin atmosphere listens to it, doesn't make it good! For christ's sake, rappers are just people with no singing or songwriting talent, so they talk! And "write" shithouse lyrics like the ones to this sorry excuse for a song. I could write better lyrics after having half my brain removed and replaced with chocolate pudding for fucks sake! Anyone who listens to this sad, pathetic excuse for music should be ashamed at themselves for assisting in the perversion music that is taking place today. Good quality music that actually takes skill to write and deliver is being drowned out by this absolute tripe, and you people are being brainwashed into listening to it because "it has a good beat." Who gives a fuck about the beat? Doesn't anything else mean anything to you mindless idiots? The fact that this song, and all other rap songs, are pretty much about fuck all doesn't matter? I pity you, I really do. Has modern society made you so stupid that you fail to see the pointlessness of this particular music genre? Or is it just inbreeding? More than that, rap promotes the view that women are objects, drugs are cool, and that gang violence is an acceptable passtime. I mean, what the fuck? This is the reason I go to the shopping centre and see 12 and 13 year old girls in mini skirts and strapless, midriff exposing tops. This is a massive part of the reason teenage pregnancy rates are rising year after year. This is part of the reason 14 year old kids are DYING of fucking drug overdoses. On top of that, these so called artists have no talent! How hard is it to write a bunch of trash along the lines of this atrocious song? Those of you listening to this, get out and buy some real fucking music, and do the world a favour by helping to get rid of this shit. And do yourself a massive favour. Talentless oxygen thieves like 50 cent are making music that will ultimately stunt you. The human brain is always learning, always adapting, and constantly listening to trash like this is harmful, as most of you will notice if you get over the rap fad and graduate to real music, by looking back and realising how fucking stupid you used to be. 50 cent is making money off your gullibility!! You are being played for the fools you are. But hey, if you wanna be "cool" and "hip" and accepted by the fucking "in" crowd of drones, who are more than likely to be the most arrogant self centred fuckers going around, at the expense of actually listening to music that makes a statement and fucking MEANS something, don't let the fact that everyone decent hates you with a passion and wishes cancer upon you stop you. After all, being cool is the most important thing! |

And the last choruses have Jon Toogood singing... "Let's wait for it, it's now or never, we'll run again, we'll run forever...we'll run forever." over the top of the normal chorus. Awesome song, thank god the old Shihad are back. |
|
| Grinspoon – Better off Alone Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think it's a little deeper than that. Rather than being one relationship, it seems to me to be the point in your life, that some unfortunate people like me get to, where you start to question whether love is worth it, because all it's brought so far is pain. But at the same time, it's optimistic that everything will work out in the end. That's what it means to me anyways | |

| Creed – My Sacrifice Lyrics | 19 years ago |

No, I;m not aware of any church that does stonings or anything like that these days, not vene the Muslim "church" cindines that. Some Muslim governments use it as part of their rule by fear mentality but the majority of Muslims don't even approve of it.... Rugby League is a variation on traditional rugby. It's much faster paced and far more free flowing and conducive to ad lib footy. The major differnces between Rugby League and American football are.... 1)The ball must be passed backwards in Rugby and Rugby League 2)The ball is allowed to touch the ground, and if it is picked up legitimately then play just continues, unless the ball is knocked on and picked up by the offending team in which case a scrum packs. 3) Spear tackles are illegal and can be a send off offence 4) Obviously the points system is different. A try is scored the same way as a touchdown except that a player must ground the ball in the in goal. Tries can be converted in the same fashion as a gridiron field goal, but with a kicking tee. A goal can also be kicked for a penalty. Field goals are drop-kicked. A try is 4 points, a goal is 2 and a field goal is 1. I think those are the major differences really, its a contact sport just like American football with the same basic layout and things like that. However there is only one team, no defensive and offensive teams, and that team is made of 13 starting players and 4 bench players. |

I know, coming from a christian family and background, that the Bible has passages where it tell followers of god what punishments to mete out to sinners. It mentions stoning, flaying, burning etc for such minor "sins" as wearing clothing made of mixed fabrics. Tell me that's any less "evil" than the Qu'Ran. The fact that Muslims would be persecuted for having an opinion is testament to the sort of country America has become. Not saying all Americans are racist, bigoted, or whatever, but you have to admit it is a high percentage. I;m not saying they should be allowed to say september 11 was good, that's stupid. But you have to admit America doesn't help it's own cause alot of the time. Being Australian, I;ve seen how multicultural society works, properly, and America hasn't quite grasped it just yet. As for Shi'Ites vs Sunnis, I'm saying that you can't judge Muslims by the actions of a few, no more than I can judge christians by the actions of a few. Need I remind you that at times in history there have been christian extremist more savage than any Muslim terrorists? P.S I know, I HATE soccer with a passion. It requires no skill, only an acting diploma, and is possibly more boring than your average game of lawn bowls or baseball. The game at Franklin Field is Rugby League. Think of it as a game that is similar to American football, but with more skill and tactics involved, and none of those stupid full body pads Gridiron players wear. It's also a thousand times more free flowing than gridiron. If you've ever seen a game of Rugby, think of it as rugby that has been modified to make it better. American Football is a highly dumbed down version of Rugby, and Rugby League is a more complicated and fast paced version. And just for the record, Soccer is not even in the top ten most popular sports in Australia, and we don't refer to it as football, we call it soccer same as you...heck netball is more popular here....just a little cultural lesson for ya! |

| Metallica – Whiskey in the Jar (Thin Lizzy cover) Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Just as a point of interest, these are the original lyrics as my grandmother used to sing them.... As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting. I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier. Said stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver, musha ring dumma do damma da whack for the daddy 'ol whack for the daddy 'ol there's whiskey in the jar I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny. I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny. She said and she swore, that she never would deceive me, but the devil take the women, for they never can be easy I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber, I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder. But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water, Then sent for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter. musha ring dumma do damma da whack for the daddy 'ol whack for the daddy 'ol there's whiskey in the jar It was early in the morning, as I rose up for travel, The guards were all around me and likewise captain Farrel. I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier, But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken. If anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army, If I can find his station down in Cork or in Killarney. And if he'll come and save me, we'll go roving near Kilkenny, And I swear he'll treat me better than me darling sportling Jenny Now some men take delight in the drinking and the roving, But others take delight in the gambling and the smoking. But I take delight in the juice of the barley, And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early musha ring dumma do damma da whack for the daddy 'ol whack for the daddy 'ol there's whiskey in the jar |

There were 8 major crusades, plus the smaller ones waged by the Vatican States. From memory there were about 17 in all. As someone with many Muslim friends as a result of living in Malaysia, I can understand why they were happy if people like you are in the majority in America. A comment like the one you have just made about Muslims is a typically bigoted and supremely ignorant one. Arabs celebrated, yes, but they are hard line Shi'ites. A lot of muslim countries are Sunni these days, and they deplored the acts of Sept 11 as much as the rest of the world. Malaysia (after that idiot Mahatir stepped down) and Indonesia offered troops for Iraq, and Indonesia has been instrumental in helping our Australian troops root out Islamic extremists in South East Asia and the Solomons. So your comment just proves you to be a bigot. I never ever said Jesus did not exist. I remember saying first time around that there is historical proof he did. However, I did ask for tangible proof that he was the son of god, which you have failed to provide. Doesn't say much for your religion if you can't even prove its core belief. Assuming god is real and created humanity, why give us free will if all he wants is for us to do exactly what he tells us? Seems a bit silly to me. If i had created humanity as it is, I would have damn sure given them free will for a reason. Hitler went to church and prayed to god and jesus and mary. He wanted to be as powerful as god, not to be god. He referred to himself as Fuhrer, which was the German equivalent of Chinas Supreme Leader. He insisted on being adressed as Mein Fuhrer and nothing else. The Qu'Ran, like the bible, has some fairly violent passages. I seem to remember from religion class at school a passage that went something along the lines of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life". Doesn't mean that's the message it was attempting to get across, and what was morally acceptable 2000 years ago is alot different to now. Times change, and religions refuses to bend with that. Sunni muslims have done so, maybe Christians should follow suit. But just for your sake, can any Muslims out there please post the passages telling Muslims to respect all religions? I would if I had any idea what they were but I can't remember. Need I remind you that terrorism is as old as humanity itself and isn't rooted in any religion or belief, only in cowardice and fanaticism. Your comment about American muslims is idiotic as both shi'ites and sunnis live in the states, and therefore practice the same type of Islam as Muslims all over the Muslim world. P.S Any sports fans out there, this clowns name reminded me that the inaugural USA Tomahawks vs Australian Kangaroos Rugby League Test will be played at Franklin Field on November 30 at 730pm US Eastern Time. It will be broadcast live on the Fox Sports World network as well. Anyone who loves American football should definitley get a look at a real game, and hopefully the world champs will name a second string side so that the USA can give a decent account of themselves. No one likes a thrashing. We need to take the game to a world level again after it's decline with Australias supremacy, so please do your best to get out and support your country if you live in the area. |

| Yeah Scott Stapp writes good songs, and I respect him for that. But he can't sing to save his life, they'd have been better off having Tremonti sing. Also you can tell Stapp wrote most Creed songs because he acts like Tremonti can't play guitar and gives the poor guy such simple chords to play. You wanna hear how this badn should have sounded listen to Alter Bridge. Great guitar work, and a singer who can actually carry a tune. | |

| Creed – My Sacrifice Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Eagles..... You said that "the only religious war was really the Crusades." Which one?? There were somewhere in the area of 20. Oh, and what about the so-called Jihad that Muslim Terrorists are fighting against the west as we speak? Or Hitler in World War Two. Sure, he wanted power, but the purpose of his war was to create an Aryan race. A race of genetically superior CHRISTIAN Germans. I never said the preacher had any hatred for me. I just think it's a bit rich for a religion that can't prove itself to say "we are right, you're wrong, see you in hell." And insulting that he was implying that I live "in sin" just because I like facts and reality over mysticism, which is what any religion really is. You say I'm wrong about Jesus. Prove it! And none of that "the Bible says so, so it's true" shit. Give me definitive proof that Jesus (which is probably not even what he was really called) was the son of some so-called god. Assuming that your god is real, where does it get off being so arrogant? if you take the Bible at face value (which you can't because it is so damn conflicting) then it's just sitting up there telling us how to live our lives. I don't care how powerful anyone or anything is, there is no such thing as being omnipotent, and no way anyone is going to tell me how to live my life. Hitler was a Christian. Just because the Church opposed him doesn't make him anything else than what he was. He believed in god, jesus and all that crap. He killed the Jews partly because of this. NOWHERE does the Qu'Ran tell people to kill unbelievers. Having been forced to study it in religion class at high school I can actually say Islam is a much more peaceful religion thatn christianity. There is a passage that ORDERS all Muslims to respect all people, no matter their creed or beliefs (any Muslims out there, I'm unsure which passage sorry I didn't exactly memorise it). Your forget that there are two major kinds of Muslims, Shi'ites and Sunnis. The Shi'ites are the majority in places like Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc and cause quite a few problems because they havce taken the worst passages from the Qu'Ran as writ and basically ignored the others. The Sunnis are the majority in countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, and the non-fanatical countries. They have taken into account and balanced everything in the Qu'Ran and come up with the best and most respectful way to live their lives, as stated in the Qu'Ran. NO religion is evil, not Islam, not Christianity, not Buddhism, not Hiduis or Taoism or anything like that. Misguided maybe, but you just prove how arrogant and idiotic christians are by saying that Islam is. It's people that make good and evil, no-one else. |

| For some reason I can imagine this song at a high school graduation, asking all the people you have burned bridges with over the years to forgive you....and sort of trying to make them see that you really do care about them, even though you may have hurt them. It's just an image, but I guess that's kind of the meaning for me, asking for forgiveness | |
| Muse – Time Is Running Out Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I jujst know there's something more to it...it's Muse! I've never known any of their songs to be obvious in the meaning. I think it's about the way people seem to follow in the footsteps of established government or authority purely because it's the easy way to live, never objecting and therefore never being challenged. He's saying that no matter how hard you may try, it's always so easy to just be one of the flock that you can end up losing the ability to express yourself and form opinions or objections...and that if we don't break free soon it'll be too late. But at the same time, no matter how hard people may try, freedom of mind and thought can never be forced down or made to ga away...you can never stop someone screaming out | |

| I think it's about someone who has lost all hope, and gone off by herself either physically or mentally to try and work things out.

Oh and by the way....some of you Christians should do Ancient History at uni....it will teach you the following things..... 1)Yes, Jesus did exist at some time 2)Was he the son of some god? HELL NO. He was an ancient equivalent of what you would get if you crossed a nutjob on the street with a nutjob cult leader. 3)Christianity is the most subscribed to cult in the history of humanity 4)Religion is the second highest cause of worldwide problems such as war and terrorism, right behind money.... And you we say atheists have problems....lol...I'm sorry, but I was accosted by a Hillsong preacher in Sydney last week, and I told him pretty much what I just mentioned....he crossed himself and said "I pray for you, as you will surely spend eternity in the fires of hell, because god does not look favourably on such blasphemy and sin".....I just laughed in his face, said something along the lines of "I live in the real world, where my problems and successes are my own" and went on my merry way..... |
|
| Creed – My Sacrifice Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The song is about a reunion with someone you love....whether that is a girl guy, brother, sister, best friend, god, whoever the hell, it doesn't matter. Personally I relate to a situation with a girl I once went out with. And seeing as there seems to still be a mad religious debate raging in here, i'd like to point out that religion, ant religion, has been invented because people didn't want to accept the simple facts of life, and so they blamed everything on a higher being. Religion has also been used as an excuse for some of the worst acts of inhumanity in history...the Holocaust, the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, countless murders of racial minorities and homosexuals, serial killers claiming they were killing because their victims were "bad people" and deserved it......and if you take the bible as fact, then countless other atrocities such as Sodom and Gommora, Babylon, etc...and that's just for starters. So, if you want to believe in a god who can condone these horrific acts, or whose "word" in a work of fiction such as the bible can be used to condone these acts...and who supposedly advocates equality among men, and then denounces men in the same breath, then hey, that's your choice. Me, I'd rather believe that I control my destiny, and that all people are free to be who and what they want, and that if someone tries to hurt me or mine I'm free to do whatever I can to prevent that, rather than be controlled by some pompous, self assuming being who deals with humans as we would chess pieces. So, if you want to be a chess piece than go ahead...but me, I;m my own man, and I live life on my terms, the way I want to, and if some "god" has a problem with me then it can go fark itself..... | |

| It's about realising that love transcends all other emotions, and once you find true love then you are a better person for it. | |
| Live – Ghost Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think this is a song about human weakness, both physical and mental, and the realisation that this weakness damages us in some way. The boy is inoccent and wide eyed when he goes out into the world...but temptation lures him to the whores under the bridge. In giving in to this temptation he injures a part of himself, and his wide eyed confidence and enthusiasm is shattered by his mistake. "Where did I go wrong?" When he was young, he could feel that everything was great and beautiful just by playing with his parents, going fishing, whatever it may have been for him. But now, he can only feel this way with a woman, and this leaves him disillusioned and confused. The scalpel image is to do with the physical weakness of humanity and how easily we can be hurt or damaged, and how easy it is to essentially lie to the world. "Good doctors never leave a scar...no proof again." It could also be to do with people undergoing plastic surgery to "improve" themselves, and in doing so damage themselves by not being true to who they are. "Everybody has ghost, who sings like you do...yours is not like mine, but it's alright, keep it up." Everyone has their own issues, problems, or emotinal/physical damage, and not everyone's is the same...but it's ok to be hurting, it's ok to be different or depressed, it's all part of life and we have to live every day as it comes. "I'll take the myth, you take the blood, it's all the same to the world dreamer...it's all the same in the end." To people who realise that their problems are not theirs alone, and don't make them different or wrong, then blood and sweat and pain and tears are as useless or as useful as beliefs and superstition in solving their problems. What they need to do is realise that they are the people who can change things for themselves, for better or worse. "Boy loses rib, as he's summoned to the mub flat on his back, crying where did I go wrong?" People who can't realise this will be "summoned to the mud"; they will be stuck in a life that's unfulfilling and empty.....anyway that's my take on it | |
| Shihad – My Minds Sedate Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think that this song is about the way that life becomes so routine that it's bland and pointless. The boys of Shihad obviously don't like this. People "trust the police and the government" just because they are some form of authority, without paying any attention to what else is going on with them. Corporate sentiment seems to take over and people will also trust big corporations. These people lead their boring lives with their boring beliefs, boring cars, boring homes, and never actually live. | |
| Matchbox Twenty – Bed Of Lies Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| To me it really highlights a relationship I once had with a girl who's parents disapproved of me, and tried to set terms and conditions for the realtionship. I basically felt like this, that I was going to have a real relationship or none at all, because anything else would seem hollow and pointless. Not the intended meaning, but it's a way of looking at it | |
| 3 Doors Down – Duck And Run Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| It's about the determination to fight on no matter what life throws at you, no matter what people level at you or who looks down on you. You have to stand up and be counted for who you are | |
| The Darkness – Love Is Only A Feeling Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| i reckon this is a pretty cynical song. It's about not getting too caught up in love, because chances are you'll only get hurt. But at the same time he's having trouble keeping his distance, he's unable to keep love to just a feeling rather than an actual emotional involvement, so he's trying to convince himself that it is in fact just a feeling | |
| Fuel – Running Away Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| It's about a guy who's having an affair....he doesn't really love his girlfriend/wife anymore, and is in love with the person he's having an affair with. But at the same time he knows that if his partner discovers the affair she will be truly hurt, so out of respect to her he's calling off the affair. Love the lyric "Hearts are never made of stone, pain will cut you to the bone'.....beautiful | |
| Fuel – Falls on Me Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Not wanting to be a pain in the arse, but the lyrics are actually.... I've seen you hanging round This darkness where I'm bound And this black hole I've dug for me And silently within With hands touching skin Shock breaks my disease And I can breathe And all of your weight All you dream Falls on me, it falls on me And your beautidul sky The light you bring Falls on me, it falls on me Your faith like the pain It draws me in again She washes all my wounds for me The darkness in my veins I never could explain And I wonder if you ever see Will you still believe? And all of your weight All you dream Falls on me, it falls on me And your beautiful sky The light you bring Falls on me, it falls on me Am I that strong? To carry on I might save my life I might save our world Would you save me? As for the meaning, I think it's about a guy who's in a realationship with this absolutely amazing girl. She is everything to him, but he's hiding who he really is and is worried that what he's hiding will affect her feelings for him, and that he won't be strong enough to overcome that. He's trying to decide whether to come clean, weighing up his options and realising that he should come clean, because her faith in him is absolute and he loves her so much.....I can relate to it in that way anyways. Lyrically, this is a beautiful song, one of the best on Natural Selection |
