Animal Collective – My Girls Lyrics 17 years ago
ha!

when i assumed he did say "adobe slabs", i thought he was referring to adobe slabs.. like drawing slabs.. for adobe photoshop.

but now that i'm listening to it.. it sounds like slats?
the construction meaning of it makes a little more sense.
but whatever, y'know?

Bright Eyes – When the President Talks to God Lyrics 19 years ago
AHEM.
"stone throwers like Conner and Michael Moore should spend less time trying to soil GW Bush's name and more time trying to repair the system that allows horrible politics from both sides of the aisle. " - dross

GEE. you make it sound so easy! - as a MUSICIAN/artist/lyricist.. I WONDER how he can help to repair the system that allows *horrible politics*!?!?!!?
MAYBE.. by speaking to the public?!
because.. they're the ones who VOTE in elections?
hmmmmm ponder that one!

I love this song.
SURE it's a little in your face and straight up and he didn't "beat around the bush" (bahaha)
Good for him!
He's been pretty *BLATANT* about his political views in other songs too.
SOOO.. is it really that shocking?

for EXAMPLE,
"Let's not shit ourselves" ..............
Of all those public action figures, the cowboy presidents
So loud behind the bullhorn, so proud they can't admit
When they've made a mistake
Well, poison ink spews from a speechwriter's pen
He knows he don't have to say it so it, it don't bother him
Honesty, accuracy, just popular opinion
And the approval rating's high
And so someone's gonna die
Well, ABC, NBC, CBS bullshit
They give us fact or fiction, I guess an even split
And each new act of war is tonight's entertainment
We're still the pawns in their game
As they take eye for an eye, until no one can see
We must stumble blindly forward, repeating history
Well I guess we all fit into your slogan in that fast food marquee
Red-blooded, white skinned, oh and the blues
Oh, and the blues, I got the blues, that's me!

The Chicks – Not Ready To Make Nice Lyrics 19 years ago
I'm really glad to see that the Dixie Chicks are saying "I made my bed and I sleep like a baby with no regrets"
It's really awesome to see that these women have not given in to the bullying.
I watched them do an interview on *60 minutes* and although they got to say a lot of intelligent things and state their opinion rationally, i couldn't help but notice the attitude of the interviewer, who repeatedly asked the girls shit like "why did you release this song, why didn't you just be quiet for the fans" and "don't you ever just want to tell natalie to shut up".
cause....
'god' forbid a woman should voice her opinion!

I think it's awesome that they're standing by their opinion and are probably ignoring a lot of people who try to bully them into "being quiet" like *women should be*.

I don't understand the whole "do it for the fans" or "it's a bad career move" rationale so much. Musicians do NOT have to appease their fans if their fans are so narrow-minded that they are unable HANDLE an opinion that does not match their own.
The fact that they recieved a death threat is especially concerning.
the whole "CONFORM OR DIE" thing is a tad bit insane.
These attitudes continue to baffle me.

Pink – Stupid Girls Lyrics 19 years ago
ahha wow! large discussion about this song.

for anyone ELSE about to write a comment like this:

"not all blonde skinny girls are dumb you know there are ditzy chicks no matter what they look like.. i cant put on weight at all and im naturally blonde - i guess that automatically means i lack brain cells to - rite?" (on page 2)

first of all, it would really really help to use punctuation. and yes - spelling too. those things are key in communicating a CLEAR message.
secondly - ok you're correct but uhm, you've missed the point. 'blonde skinny' girls are not being targeted in this video. some people are born blonde. some people are skinny. i don't think pink is attacking THAT, okay?
she's attacking the actions of celebrities and people who FOLLOW these celebrities. she's attacking dumb behaviour in general - the people who go out of their way to attain what society currently believes to be the beauty ideal. the "stupid girl" attitude always seeking attention & the "male gaze".

"Disasters all around
Would despair
Their only concern
Will they **** up my hair"

i think the main point is - there are more important things to be thinking about. there are better things you can be spending your money on - rather than plasic surgery, fake n bake, and 500$ hair extensions.

I think a really IMPORTANT part in this song is about the girls dancing in the 50 cent videos - how those videos continue to be made by ADULTS today is absolutely mind blowing. How we watch those videos and consider them "normal" is disgusting. Whoever comes up with those video concepts are in dire need of futher education.

Bloc Party – Helicopter Lyrics 21 years ago
it's really REALLY hard to tell what a song's about until you see the band live and they let you know before the song(hehe)

but the bush context does make sense?

"Stop being so American
There's a time and there's a place
So James Dean
So blue jeans
Gonna save the world
He's gonna
Are you hoping for a miracle? "

with the "gonna save the world" blablabla.
catchy tune though!

Thursday – Marches And Maneuvers Lyrics 21 years ago
the video discussion thing is hidden.. it's on the toolbar thingy to the right of the "MERCH" button. it looks like gibberish at first but hold your mouse and it'll change into "SONG".

I haven't watched the video discussion for this one yet, but considering the lyrics, i really really don't think this is for or against abortion. it seems as if he's just dealing with an abortion that he & his girlfriend may have had to go through

"this is our war. "
^^^
their war.. they're conflicted about the abortion even though abortion is OK.

"administer the pill
before the cell divides"

^^^seems obvious unless its a metaphor. lol

(keep marching--keep fighting)
and we'll both go down like toy soldiers.
threats and picket lines are forming around our beds

^^^ threats and picket lines.. have you ever seen an anti-abortion protest? theyre really disturbing and annoying! but anywho, maybe thats what he feels will be around their bed because he feels guilty.

and the landmines in our chests will all go off in time.

^^^
they'll feel bad about it for a while.

if we trip
each other into this,
do you think we'll find a way out?
we've synthesized a compound to treat this conscience, it's:

one part loss,

^^^ loss of baby?

one part no sleep,

^^^
guilt?
one part the gun shot we heard,
one part the screams mistaken for laughter,
one part everything after,
one part love,
one part stepping out of the driving rain,
one part parting ways, in the cold apartment. don't look back,

^^^
i dunno?

they say, after time,
all this will heal,
we will rebuild and these broken arms will mend
themselves in our embrace.

^^^
their decision to do this will heal in time...

sounds kinda accurate...!!

"I'm showing you to the door
Enough of always numb and always insecure"

I like this a lot!! a lot of people get caught up in their own little worlds and refuse to take part in the rest of the world... *come on, get out ..another sunny dayyyy*

it's a good reminder that you're the only person who can really help *YOU*. you have to push yourself..and life is what you make it!

it's a really pretty, positive song.. with some cool effects in there....

Abandoned Pools – Start Over Lyrics 21 years ago
i love clone high!!!!
did it not continue after that, or was there another season? cause the last i saw was that prom episode (after i downloaded the first ..season..) .. so is that the end???? *tear*

Yeah, this song seems pretty straightforward..
feeling nostalgic about being young and having no worries!

"We can never lie
And you can never steal the time
And we can only watch them die
And we can never find out why"

And dealing with the harsh realities!!
You can't turn back time...and you have to deal with death in your life!
*sigh*

Bright Eyes – At the Bottom of Everything Lyrics 21 years ago
jvenrick' analysis seems the most accurate..

"We must blend into the choir, sing a static with the whole

And to this endless race for property and privilege to be won
We must run, we must run, we must run"

it must be sarcastic/criticizing society

Alexisonfire – Sharks And Danger Lyrics 21 years ago
i dont know how much about suicide this is, so much as it is about anxiety. not just because he says so in the last few lines, but because the whole song seems to outline the kind of thought process that might be influenced by anxiety issues.

"who will keep me from lashing out"
when you have a panic attack, you just lash out, you lose control.

"I just wish I could just show you what a huge problem this is. "
It's hard to explain to people why you freak out over the littlest things. but it does happen, and it is a serious problem!!

"I keep thinking about, right now, all these awful things, and I don't believe it Where do I have to go so it'll stop? "

depression is kinda linked with anxiety..
and throughout either your mind just goes.. wild with a lot of negativity.

anyways, that's just my perspective.

"But i probably really should have been at work

at first glance i didn't think this song was sarcastic at all or had anything to do with fads and such. it seemed like he just didnt wanna let go of the good stuff... if the party's gotta end- please bury me with it...
being at work and all that crap is a sucky part of life..

Alexisonfire – Get Fighted Lyrics 21 years ago
"lets not fucking let them take punk rock or anything good " are you kidding me? thats the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. Go to any show and TRY to tell me that people aren't all dressed alike. and. VERY VERY fashionable. atticus..band shirts..and everyone has kick-ass hair. it's all so very trendy.
Though that's why this song is kinda good, it's good to keep in mind that dressing a certain way shouldn't necessarily reflect what music you like. Likeeee the way people make assumptions about other people based on the way they dress.

Jack Johnson – Traffic In The Sky Lyrics 21 years ago
any comment on what the song is talking about???

uhmm im really not sure, but i can take a stab at it.
"shadows of the planes on the pavement "

uhmmm, im not actually sure when this song was recorded.. however! planes and stuff? maybe it's about el 9/11 stuff. and like people saying "well how could we have known", but really the government was doing all this badass stuff that led to it so it could have been avoided.. and if you "keep adding stones"..err if the US keeps fucking shit up then the "water will be lost in the well".. meaning something along the lines of the US is burying themselves...

thats my interpretation at first glance.
common,more feedback!
