| of Montreal – Enemy Gene Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| It's definitely "Homo Luminous", not "home and loneliness". He's talking about the evolution of the human race from Homo Sapiens ("wise man") to Homo Luminous ("enlightened/illuminated man"). He's talking about how our species isn't enlightened enough to see past "the con." | |
| Radiohead – A Punchup at a Wedding (No No No No No No No No) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure "bully in a china shop" is meant to be "bull in a china shop" because "like a bull in a china shop" is a (chiefly brittish) idiom meaning to be clumsy and inconsiderate when you should be doing something carefully. It makes sense in the context of the song in that there is a person starting fights at a wedding. Also "the pot will call the kettle back" should be "the pot will call the kettle black". This an another (chiefly brittish) idiom, and this one means that a person is criticising someone for something that they themselves do (i.e. a hypocrite). |

| Train – Drops of Jupiter Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
how can "drops of jupiter" symbolise anything you can't "act like summer" you can't "listen like spring" what do "shooting stars" have to do with anything This song tells a simple story in about 4 lines which are surrounded by about 30 lines of nonsense about space and seasons. I bet the author wrote this song while extremely high then added in the 4 lines that make sense, so he can laugh at anyone who tries to interpret the parts of the song that obviously have no meaning at all. I know I had a good laugh at some of the interpretations. |

| Muse – Endlessly Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I reckon its about how he desperately loves someone, but keeps it a secret from them ("cherished dreams forever asleep" and the first two lines), and how he is waiting for an opportunity to show the person how he really feels ("I won't let you down, and I won't leave you falling. If the moment ever comes.") | |
