| Neutral Milk Hotel – Three Peaches Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
i dont usually write but this was always my take on the holdiay thing: for me atleast the holidays were a time when evryone got together and pretended everything in life was okay and everyone loved everything. so for me anyway it was always like he was saying if the bullshit doesnt eat your eyes, cling on to what you can. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Bullet with Butterfly Wings Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| hey guys, the fact is there are about ten different meanings that y'all have stated. that's saying something. and its sayin that the song means different things for different people. hell, billy might have just put angry lines together. so go by your own personal interpretation. thats what is important. what the song means to YOU. | |

| Les Savy Fav – In These Woods Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
okay this song makes perfect sense. it seems to me the more you look at a les savy fav song, the more and more it seems to make sense. theyre like riddles i guess. the intro goes: it takes skill it takes will if you've got it then you've got it if you don't there's a pill it takes skill this is what the whole song is really about. in this song, as in many literary works such as james lapine's play into the woods, the woods represnt life and the chaos of it. in this opening intro tim is saying to get thru life you either gotta have what it takes or youll try to make up for it somehow, with pills or plastic surgery or whatevs. they watered down the poison in this town they raised us wrong they raised us strong they raised us up with arms 10 feet long the watered down thing is an allusion to that whole saying "it must be something in the water." how people from a certain town are good at something becuse of something theyre drinking. here tim is saying the poison was watered down and fed to us so we were indirectly bred on this poison. this poison is the same thing as the pills tho. he's saying its making us stronger and better physically but that may not be enough to prepare us for the woods, or life. that raising us strong with ten foot arms was actually wrong, because we should have been focussing on raising our will power and not using the pills/poison. i'm afraid we're Hansel-ed, i'm afraid we're cancelled and Grettel-ed i'm afraid we don't have the mettle to make it in these woods the empire state made out of ginger cake came crumbling down before we had a taste now comes the whole hansel and grettel woods metaphor. as you know, in the fairy tale hansel and grettel lack the willpower to not see who owns the gingerbread house after the birds eat their whatever-they-were-dropping. they want to see it so they approach it and then the witch captures them, blah blah blah. so he's saying that he fears that we are all hansels and grettels and that we don't have the mettle, which means willpower. that cancelled thing could be referring to the fact that we're all cancelling each other out because we all have these enhancements and pills. so he says we don't have what it takes (the mettle) to make it. he then compares the empire state builiding to hansel and gretel's gingerbread house. he seems to be saying that all these pills we are taking are to serve corporate america, and so our goal, the gingerbread house for hansel and working in the empire state building for us, is tumbling down. smmer settles fall faints spring spreads winter waits dusk consents and dawn redecorates this is just a summary of what's going on. the seasons keep changing and we essentially keep failing. in other words this song means: stop taking these pills and making body enhancements, it's not gonna be enough to save you in the real world (the woods). |

| Les Savy Fav – Yawn, Yawn, Yawn Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i think this song is about how much life sucks sometimes and we keep waking up and getting up and wishing that we actually werent. kinda wishing thta we were dead, be it be because of a failing realtionship, which tim seems to be hinting at here, or because of something else. it makes sense to me. | |

| all of yall should read mumia's books. especially all things censored. he is an amazing writer, and you can see where zack got his inspiration. | |
| At the Drive-In – Heliotrope Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i think this song is about the death penalty. first of all theyre from texas, so it would be apt. second of all, think of lines like "increase the dosage/ count back from ten" and "its as if someone raised the price of dying to maximum vend again." also, "capital faunt" could refer to capital punishment. ballot box could refer to the political agenda behind the killing of criminals. a good example of this is mumia abu-jamal. check out his book all things censored. cataombs refer to death again. thieves could refer to re-taking of lives after death penalty was questioned in supreme court, ruled okay and started killing off people again. just my idea anyway. | |
| At the Drive-In – Chanbara Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| it may very well be about south america, but you cant really ignore the romantic (dare i say emo?) connotations in the song as well. "kiss me with lisp", "proposal of let's be friends", "what a tangled web we weave". the south america theory makes sense though. hm. | |
