| The Smashing Pumpkins – Porcelina of the Vast Oceans Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| fucked up entry, and most likely pointless, but the last time I heard this song, when the part comes up at the end where he's just singing "porcelina" (a word that we all know he made up), I heard it as "Poor Selena. Selena being that singer who was killed by her maid (...yes, I only know this because I saw the movie starring JENNIFER LOPEZ!!!), but when I heard it, it just made sense to me. I sincerely doubt that this is what the song is about, but I just thought it was cool. | |

This song has nothing to do with love, nor does it have anything to do with Billy Corgan hating himself, he made that point quite clear in Zero, even though I doubt that song is about him hating himself either. This song is about Vestibule. In the The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, specifically in the Inferno, before Virgil leads Dante into the first circle of hell: Limbo, they reach a place called Vestibule, and Vestibule is where all of the apathetic and lazy people go after they die. They don't get access into heaven quite obviously. However, their lives were so meaningless, and since they did absolutely nothing beneficial or important in their lives, they are not allowed into hell either. So these people sit outside of the first circle of hell, wishing they were allowed into hell, because they want some sort of definition in their lives. Dante uses wonderful irony by creating people who would actually want to be in hell. And jellybelly is about this place. The first verse isn't as definite as the rest, except for the fact that they say welcome to nowhere. Also, in the Inferno, the people who reside in hell have no knowledge of what is going on in todays world. They only have memories of the past, and some of them can see into the future: "Nothing But Memories". Then they just reinforce that they're nowhere in the chorus The second verse is where the reference becomes blatantly obvious. "Living makes me sick So sick I wish I could die Down in the belly of the beast I can't lie." These people are wishing they could be sent to hell, or "the belly of the beast." and they are sick of living in indifference and without any sort of finite punishment. Then the bridge and final chorus say that they will no matter what be there forever. Even though you may not realize it, not all songs are about shitty relationships and hating yourself...only bad songs are. Jesus, people, next you're going to tell me that thirty-three is about suicide... |

| Aimee Mann – Save Me Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I've always thought that this song was about using alcohol (or possibly some other mind-altering substance) as a crutch to try to gain social status. Simply the line, "save me, from the ranks of the freaks." Is what made me think this the most, but also the lines, "You left me dumb, like radium" and "You look like the perfect fit." I don't think the tourniquette is really a reference to anything, except for the fact that it is something that is used to help people in trouble, and it is also a cool word that rhymes with "fit". But anyways, I think that she is afraid that she is going to be ranked in with the freaks, so she uses alcohol to save her . | |

Anyone who argues that the live version of this song is better than the studio version should be shot in the face, with a brick, after being hit by a truck. Yes the live version is amazing, as is the christop[her O'riley version (which I got to see live, and it was SEXCELLENT) but the studio version is so amazingly beautiful, no song written in the history of ever could possibly top it. If you don't believe me, go get out your ipod, because you probably have one now, and lie in bed right before you go to sleep tonight and listen to this song. And for all of you who thought something along the lines of, "ipod? this kid is a douche-bag The quality on those things is no better than my walkman!" when I said that thing about ipods, well you're half right. I am a douche-bag, but let me remind you of something. Remember when DVD players first came out, and everyone who was too poor to have one said, "the quality isn't THAT much better"? Well, now eveyone has one, and guess what, the quality is SO much better! Get an ipod Anyways, back to the song. This song is perfect. There is no other way to describe it, and few other songs have attained perfect status. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with this song. The fucked up whispy thing in the beginning, the awkward pulses in the main theme, the way the synthesized choir releases your emotional strain on the most amazing chord progression ever (G#M, cm, Gsus, G) which will give you goosebumps at just the right time, the fact that until I heard the live version, the place where I thought the beat was in the chorus was completely wrong. This song is the most beautiful music ever made. And although the live version is very intense. It doesn't go anywhere near matching the complexity of the studio version |

| Franz Ferdinand – 40 Ft. Lyrics | 20 years ago |

Allright, I have a bit of a strange proposition, but hear me out on this. I was reading the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding for school (Very good book, I would recommend), but when reading it, I stumbled across something very interesting. (And if you plan on reading the book, I am about to spoil a small section of it, so you may not want to read this.) But or those of you who know the book, Piggy, the smart sensible person, gets killed by Roger, who throws a rock at Piggy, causing him to fall off a cliff into the ocean. This is an excerpt from when Piggy is killed: "The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee...Piggy fell forty feet and landed on his back across the square red rock in the sea. His head opened and stuff came out and turned red." I honestly think that this song is an allusion to Piggy's death. The whole "Causing all the blood to slush that congeals around the brain", could be a reference to the red stuff that came out and turned red, and there's more to the paragraph that I didn't bother typing. But I definitely think there is some connection here. It could also help explain our little meter/feet fiasco we seem to be having. I would like to hear some thoughts on this, what do you guys think? |

| Ben Folds – Prison Food Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song does not sound like clocks. This song, like millions of other songs out there, simply has the same accent pattern as clocks. Unfortunately since clocks got blown way out of propotion, every song from now on with that accent pattern will be dubbed as "sounding like clocks". No, if you want a song that sounds like clocks, listen to the new coldplay single, now THAT sounds like clocks. | |

| Foo Fighters – Monkey Wrench Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I don't think that's true. If you've ever heard him talk about Cobain, he thought he was a great man. Plus, I've heard the song My hero is about Cobain. (I've also heard just about every song he's written is about Cobain, or how much he hates Courtney Love, so they can't all be true.) But I think he was happy to be in such an influential band even if he wasn't the frontman. Plus I'm sure he would've gotten a solo career anyways. He had already been recording a few tracks with Crist Noveselic (not gonna lie, I have no idea how to spell his name) before Kurt died. | |

| Ben Folds – Fred Jones Pt. 2 Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I don't think it's about Fred getting fired, he's retiring. You don't have parties and songs when you get fired, you have them when you retire, like Fred Jones should have, but didn't. The thing that makes this song unbelievably amazing is the fact that nothing happens. There is no climax to teh song, the piano never gets louder, it just gets slightly more intricate. It is perfect. It portrays how just pointless and boring Fred Jones' life was. That's what this song is about. A man whose life had absolutely no point. It's just there. Just like the song. There is no great ending, no surprises, nothing. Just like why the song has no climax. It's almost even more depressing that Fred doesn't die/commit suicide at the end. It ust adds to the opintlesness of his life. If Fred had commited suicide, it would've added a whole new tone to the song taht I don't think Ben wanted there. He just wanted to exlplain how this man's life had no purpose and was completely worthless. Horribly depressing. As for the last verse. Could someone explain to me what he's doing with the slides and the paint, I never really understood that. I mean, I get that he's putting the slides on the wall, and painting them, but I just don't get what he's doing. Please explain |

| Ben Folds – Rockin' The Suburbs Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| he doesn't play the piano in this song (or I geuss he does, you just can't hear it) because he'smaking fun of crappy bands who write heavy metal music such as his opening riff | |
| Ben Folds Five – Narcolepsy Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I think this is about a man who is so sick of everyday life, that he just likes going to sleep because it takes him away from the horrors of life. "nothing hurts when I go to sleep". It could be about a man with narcolepsy, I really don't know. I honestly don't think Ben Folds knows either. He leaves it up to you | |

| Ben Folds Five – Eddie Walker Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I always thought this song was about Eddie Walker's funeral, and these are a bunch of people visiting him. And showing one of those crappy slideshows that you always see at funerals (not that I make daily trips) and kind of wrap up Edie Walker's life. But I guess I can't argue with Ben Folds himself | |

| Nirvana – Rape Me Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| although I think grungejunkie's idea is very creative, I think this song is simply Kurt trying to disturb people and offend people and piss a lot of people off. It's just another way for him to vent. I don't think there's any insightful meaning behind it | |
| Nirvana – In Bloom Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I think this is about Kurt making getting pissed at al of the people who listen to his music and think it's erally good, but they don't bother to care about Kurt or notice that anything is wrong. They just listen to the music for the music's sake and not try to understand the meaning behind it | |
