Yeah, that's what I mean... I guess I just screwed up my wording... I meant to say was "Wasn't this song covered by Primus?" yeah, there you go. |

I've heard this song... it ends at the first solo. And it plays the drumming intro to Raining Blood. I don't know, there could be more than one version of this song! |

I'm pretty sure song is about Richard Patrick getting drunk, running around the airplane butt-naked and not remembering it. Waking up with his belt tied around his legs and someone taking out $80 from his wallet and telling the flight attendant not to have him arrested |

Whoa, what the hell. You did not give a definiton for "Burning Inside" you just keep talking about Fear Factory and Static-X. If this was Static-X f/ Burton C. Bell the lyrics would be a tiny bit different. Yeah, yeah Static-X is a Ministry cover band but don't you think you should be typing this up under Static-X not Mintistry. |

| Filter – Jurassitol Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
|
It's about how much you hate people that are older than you. Geritol and Jurassic, and is consistent with the anti-old people message of the song.How they get rich while the younger generation has to work. The concept of the song is based on the idea of "the young man taking a step back while the old man walks by." |

"In the chorus, Richie screams and sings out, "Shame, you had everything, you killed everything." Not just like, "shame on you, kid" but deep shame on you. Like, I wish on your soul deep shame, because you killed your classmates for the stupidest of reasons. Because maybe they bullied you, maybe they didn't accept you. Well you know? Pick up a guitar and write a fuckin' hit song about it. Then, when they're sitting there dicking around at their then year reunion, wondering "Hey, do you got 3.2 kids and Beamer?" and you're fucking on the cover of Rolling Stone, you can laugh your ass off." -Geno Lenardo, filter guitar player |

| Filter – God Damn Me Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
An introspective look at the narrator's self, detailing the problems he seems to love getting himself into ("there isn't enough hot water to be in"), and the limitations he feels in life ("there isn't enough sky to fly in"). He wistfully states "God damn me", which can be interpreted as either an affectionate or unhappy statement about himself, but which is probably a little of both, reflecting the dual nature of most people.
The ballad "Goddamned Me" is "kind of a backhanded apology, like, 'You're stuck with me — What are you gonna do?'" |

| Filter – Gerbil Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
The gerbil in this song seems to be someone living a meaningless life whose inner demons catch up with him. "He checks out of here", and commits suicide, maybe a prelude to It's Over.
"The song "Gerbil" is essentially about the guy on the answering machine on "Spent". He's just a guy that slipped through the cracks of the system and blames everything on the system, and has kind of decided to live his life outside the system. I respect him, to a certain degree. I really think he's just a loose cannon that needs to be seen by people. I think everyone should meet this guy one time. You'll realize how far people can go off the deep end." |

| Filter – Consider This Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
A spiteful song telling someone after all they've done, it would be better if they were dead.
"What's really funny is the song 'Consider This.' It has this mid-’80s anthemic U2 kind of feel. And the message is, ‘I think you'd be better off if you were dead.’ And I'm talking about one specific human being that completely fucked me over." He takes a drink of beer and looks right at me, anticipating the next question. "And it was not Trent Reznor." |

| Filter – Take Another Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
Take A Picture seems to be about being on a natural high (hence high on an airplane), but fearing that you won't remember what it feels like and it will eventually end. For a while you seem to know the answers to life's problems, but you know that the feeling won't last.
"Actually, my favorite song is "Take A Picture." It brings up the happiest time in my life, I think. One time when I was just running around a plane naked. Ha! I had a lot of fun on that plane trip."
"Yeah, it was about absolute, fucking unbelievable rock stardom, and I don't remember one second about it. All I remember was waking up with my pants around my ankles, and a nervous yuppie sitting next to me in first class literally panicking. Whoever was with me pulled my wallet out of my pants and took out $800. He gave it to the flight attendant and he said, "Look, he's a rock star. Please don't have him arrested." |

"The lyrics are childish," said Patrick, who added that he's not a reader of the Spawn comic series that inspired the movie. "It's like an innocent child trying to communicate 'The understanding of a 4-year-old/ and the rationale of a New York cop.' Essentially it's like I've done things in my life, why don't you give them a shot? Can't everybody feel like I do?"
"...Just a kind of over-the-top fucking anthem about tripping on fucking acid." |

| Filter – Hey Man, Nice Shot Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
This song was originally thought to be about Kurt Cobain, but was revealed to be about R. Budd Dwyer, a politician who killed himself before his staff and assorted television news crews. He was elected Treasurer for the State of Pennsylvania and had been tried and found guilty of racketeering, bribery, fraud, and conspiracy. Although Hey Man Nice Shot isn't about Kurt Cobain, the line "they'd stick it in your face and let you smell what they considered wrong" sounds like a reference to the Nirvana song Smells Like Teen Spirit. Hey Man Nice Shot is basically sarcastically saying good job shooting yourself and taking a nonchalant attitude by saying "hey man have fun."
"'Hey Man Nice Shot' is about a guy doing something drastic," Rich picks up, "holding a whole bunch of people at bay, and doing something incredibly devastating to himself. I responded to that as some guy trying to make his life better, by making it worse. And trying to make everyone else alive through suicide. I'm not going to bring up his name out of respect for his family, and the fact that I don't want to sell records off of it. As far as me seeing some guy do something crazy [in the eyes of] everyone else, I saw him do something that took a lot of balls—granted, it was very wrong—I still think that if you tried something and it was a fucked-up way of dealing with it, hey man, nice shot. You took a shot at something. I'm not condoning his death, but like a kamikaze pilot, he had the balls to do something. Of course, fighting the U.S. in the ’40s wasn't the best idea in the world for the Japanese, but they were dedicated and they felt this was the best way to deal with battleships. At least there is a spirit there. I don't know if it's right." |

when I first heard this song Aaron basically ripped my chest open and spelled everything out that I was feeling (and still am feeling) yeah, I guess my mother never loved my dad... that's why he moved out. I love hearing my sisters voice. I don't have much to say. My mom really doesn't know how bad she messed me up and I still love her. My father can put up with a lotta stuff. |
