| Sonic Youth – Teenage Riot Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| ...i'm more surprised by the fact that people think Sonic Youth is underrated than by the (boring/overdone) emo debate. i was always under the impression that Sonic Youth was very much appreciated/revered by the music community... | |

| Wilco – Kamera Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
These lyrics are atrociously wrong. Here: I need a camera To my eye To my eye Reminding Which lies that I’ve Been hiding Which echoes belong I've counted out The days to see how far I've driven in the dark With echoes in my heart Phone my family Tell them I'm lost On the sidewalk And, no, it's not OK I smashed a camera I wanna know why To my eye Deciding Which lies that I’ve been hiding Which echoes belong I'm counting on A heart I know by heart To walk me through this war Where memories distort Phone my family Tell them I'm lost On the sidewalk And, no, it's not OK I've counted out And no one knows how far I've driven in the dark (tell them I'm lost) With echoes in my heart (tell them I'm lost) Phone my family Tell them I'm lost Yeah, I'm lost and, no, it's not OK |

| Lady Sovereign – Random Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| read: the spice girls were hyped commerically, not critically. bad example. the fact that this is an argument on songmeanings should be really humiliating for all of you. | |
| The Go! Team – Huddle Formation Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| anyone who has ever seen the go! team live knows at least this: it starts "5, 6...5, 6, 7, 8!," the first line of the "chorus" is "bangin' on the door," and the anthem-like yelling at the end is "GO TEAM!" beyond that....i have no idea. | |
| Ryan Adams – New York, New York Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Ryan Adams, from an interview with Pitchforkmedia: ...when I wrote the record Gold, I was trying to close a chapter in my life, on who I was, a relationship that I'd been very possessed by and obsessed with. I was trying to find a musical way of closing doors, so that new ones could open. But after that record, 9/11 happened. And then everybody looks back at that song-- where I'm trying to say to this girl, whatever... Pitchfork: "New York, New York"? Adams: Yeah. Where we had a run, but OK, it didn't work. And in some weird way that song was almost like that Bon Jovi song, you know (sings), "Better to have loved and lost..." Basically saying that same thing, but people attached this meaning to it. Recently somebody sent me a funny e-mail they'd gotten where this guy wrote, "It's bad enough that this guy, like, totally calls himself Ryan Adams, so that he can get Bryan Adams' fans, but like, he's still playing that 9/11 anthem?" And I was like, that's the best e-mail I've ever seen! But you know what I mean? That song, for some people, changed. It didn't change for me. http://pitchforkmedia.com/interviews/a/adams_ryan-05/ |

| I think it's "Schubert busts my brain to start with," not "broke." I don't know for sure, but it sure sounds like it. Anyway, I think it's beautiful. | |

| Metric – Hustle Rose Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| What exactly does "Now that your wallet is all lit up, You're gonna want to wear it out" mean...? Sorry, I'm not very hip. Does it just mean...now that you have all the cash money, you want to spend it? sorry for being dumb! | |
| Bright Eyes – Southern State Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| To be honest, I think this song is about Andy LeMaster of Now it's Overhead. It's all speculation, but the lyrics hint at a theme of self-deception and repression and not being who you are, not doing what you want. Andy LeMaster recently came out as gay - NIO's new album is about self-acceptance and, basically, about sexual self-discovery. And, he's from Georgia - a southern state. the lines that stood out for me on that theme would be the bit about "a girl you barely know" and....the conviction "that there is something that she knows" and the bars with people that "try as you try and you still can't relate to them." Other big ones: "Are you who you say you are?" and "Is this really what you want?" you know. all the typical lines. woo! | |
