| Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I relate this song to my own personal experience. I feel it is about how two people in a relationship can't really tell if its real because of some bad circumstance. Its holding them back so much, but they can't stop because it feels wrong not to. It blurs the line between right and wrong where you can't tell Heaven from Hell and your trading a "Walk on Part in a War" (something you can do with purpose) for a Lead role in a cage (we're your trapped in your happiness and grieving). Running over the same old ground? What have we found. The same old fears. Wish you were here. There doesn't seem to be any answer, but wishing the other was with them, since thats the only thing that feels right. | |
| The Rolling Stones – Sympathy for the Devil Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
ShadeCharade is correct in his assumption. In my opinion. anyway. I don't see this song to be so much about the devil, but instead the devilish nature of mankink. The devil is blamed for every evil event throughout the world, when really it is humankind who is the horrible devilish creature. I believe this song is communicating the fact that every man represents 'satan', whether he truly is realy or not, mankind has made it so, through themselves. These are amazing lyrics, truly. "Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint " Every man is just as evil as Satan, as he has sinned infinitely. Whether this song is actually religious in nature or not, I believe it still to point out that man has become what he has feared most: Satan. "I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedy's?", when after all it was you and me." |

| Billy Idol – White Wedding Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Yes, it's most likely about starting over, as all of you have just said. As a wedding is a symbol of purity ect, etc. But for some reason when I listen to this song it songs really really creepy. I'm not sure why, but it sounds like it should be in a horror movie. | |
| Rush – Anagram (for Mongo) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I'm really impressed at this song. It contains a stable meaning throughout, as good of one as in all there other music, but the amazing part is that each line is an anagram. It's surprising how they can do a song of anagrams still with meaningful lyrics. | |
| Eagles – Hotel California Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I believe TaddyTeddy has the best interpritation so far. In, fact, I was about to post an interpritation of my own along those same lines. I see this song as a description of Hell, and at the beginning of the song the narrator thinks he has died and went to heaven as everything seems like paradise. He soon realizes that this is all fake and when he tries to escape he cannot as is obvious in the last lines. "Prisoner's here of our own device" because of they're sin they have been condemned. As for the line that states "We stab it with our steely knives but we just can't kill the best", I think that the beast represents their "sin" which led them to this place, and they can't get rid of it because it's now too late, and they're all eternally prisoners of this place. | |
