Fear Factory – A Therapy For Pain Lyrics 17 years ago
It's about dying, or at least wanting to die and welcoming the figure of death in. Not knowing that it was not death at all, but an angel come to pull him from his place of woe, and save him from his misery.

Flobots – Handlebars Lyrics 17 years ago
This song is about corruption of innocence, and how power can be corrosive without even realizing it. In the beginning it starts out so simple, the things that gave him pride were small and mostly insiginificant. Then it seems that the subject is suddenly swept up by how quickly his situation changes, and his accomplishments quickly grow in magnitude. Before he even realizes it, he has the world at his command and he isn't aware of his own 'strenght'.

It's a song about growing up too fast, being given too much power too quickly, and not knowing what to do with it. Then when it's all over, it seems he's remembering when everything was so much simpler, and he only cared about being able to ride his bike with no handlebars.

It's a warning. Don't force your kids to grow up too quickly.

Mew – Snow Brigade Lyrics 18 years ago
Being that I really hate the fact that almost any song can be construed as related to drugs in some way, I'm going to take a different approach.

This song is rather simple to me. It's about a guy wanting to show a girl how much he really cares for and loves her, but ends up smothering her or hurting her in the process of loving her too much.

He's probably screwed up, and did something to make her question her feelings for him. She's probably even moved on and gotten herself a different guy to be with.

Recall the lyrics to 156. "You are just... like an avalanche.. but at least I'm covered up for now."

Snowbrigade - maybe he's trying to combat that, and become a stronger, better person for the girl that he loves. "Know that there is no escape
from my snowbrigade" -- his way of saying he's going to fix everything that he screwed up.

"I don't care for you
Like I'm really supposed to
There are things I'll do
That could really hurt you

Don't you just love goodbyes?"

To me, this song is a direct response to 156, and his resolve to fix the things that went wrong.

Coheed and Cambria – Apollo I: The Writing Writer Lyrics 19 years ago
Correct lyrics..

In these words that crash my ears
I'll now stomach this in fear
With the turn, I gathered name as the bastard's son
Who, by fire I would come
Through this wire on my coat
Atop this tower of loss and lies
I gravitate towards you
I will, in the now, hate you.

I'll make you wish
You hadn't burned our time before
I'll live through this
In a manner cursed at my own accord

If my shame spills our worth across this floor
Then tonight, goodnight. I'm burning star IV.
Only I don't even think of you
No, I don't wanna think of you anymore
Goodnight, Tonight. Goodbye
Goodnight, Tonight. Goodbye.

In my presence you might make
Through this fiction I must fake
Your death to grace the face of my character
With these lessons he might learn
All the worlds from here must burn
For as god demands in the end, we miss.

If my shame spills our worth across this floor.
Then tonight, goodnight. I'm burning star IV.
Only I don't even think of you
No, I don't wanna think of you anymore
Goodnight, Tonight. Goodbye
Goodnight, Tonight. Goodbye.

There is no room for mistakes my children, for as I have been told -- today is the day I die. I'm sorry I never played the part as your father, and from the looks on your faces... it seems that's all you ever asked of me. It's time for you to go into the worlds alone. With all of my love, I'm sorry. I love you. I love you all so very much.
--
I'll make you wish
You hadn't burned our time before
I'll live through this
In a manner cursed at my own accord

(I don't wanna go)
So come on bitch why aren't you laughing now?
(You left me here to fend on my own)
So cry on bitch, why aren't you laughing now?


If my shame spills our worth across this floor
Then tonight, goodnight. I'm burning star IV.
Only I don't even think of you
No, I don't wanna think of you anymore
Goodnight, tonight. Goodbye
Goodnight, tonight. Goodbye.

Only I don't even think of you
No girl, I don't wanna think of you anymore
Goodnight, Tonight, Goodbye
Goodnight, Tonight, Goodbye.

The Cranberries – Zombie Lyrics 21 years ago
Personally I always thought the song was about about a mother who's child had a drug addiction and the mother asking them "What's in your head?" during the chorus. Basically asking them why they thought they needed to do the drugs in the first place. The result from doing the drugs - A Zombie.

"In your head they're still fighting" Your emotions are at war and so is your body against the drug.
"In your head they are dying" Your brain, mind, thoughts, feelings ect. To make you a Zombie.

Loudermilk – Anthema Lyrics 21 years ago
anthema -
Synonym: exanthema.

Origin: G. Anthein, to blossom


The song seems very simple. First a marriage in happyness and a child, then the marriage turns sour and the children are caught in the amidst the turmoil. The title is fitting, because of what the children could blossom into because of this situation, as they seem to be the focus of the song.
