The Stranglers – Golden Brown Lyrics 21 years ago
the part about the ship is from Greek literature- The captain ties himself to the mast so he can hear the sirens without being drawn to the island--- where he would be killed. Everyone else on the ship had to cover their ears

Incubus – Megalomaniac Lyrics 21 years ago
the song is talking about a person that see him/herself one way and the world sees them entirly different. Hence, you're no Jesus, no Elvis- Elvis thought he was the King and everyone agreed- is he a real king? no. Jesus thought he was god in human form- was he god? no. The person he is talking to thinks they are something special but they are not because they haven't convinced the world that they are.
