| Muse – Con-Science Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Con = opposite of pro So it's basically lamenting the unscientific aspect of relationships, where you're left without any answers and are incapable of rationalising; all you can do is feel the consequences in your soul. |
|
| Muse – Dark Shines Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Meh, I reckon you could take it more generally than the groupies idea. It's basically how, when somebody makes you feel good about yourself, you want to possess them all the more. Eventually, your own actions bring you down, while destroying their innocence. | |
| Bad Religion – The Quickening Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"He’ll sit alone when he reads" It's supposed to be: 'Is in the law that he reads'. The last bit is definitely about using scientific means to save lives. It's the whole playing God deal. |

| Bad Religion – Sinister Rouge Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
It's about the Catholic Church, and how it's still a powerful force, this far down the line. First verse: Inquisition, then the power waned, but the ancient lies were still around. Second verse: The church today Third verse: The church is still trying to give people their legacy, or 'daily bread'. But the modern world doesn't want them anymore. 'Sinister Rouge' - Rouge is 'red', like the robes worn by some officials in the church (Cardinals, was it?). |

| Bad Religion – The Empire Strikes First Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"yeah you deserve to be attained" It's actually 'you deserve two minutes hate' It's a quote from 1984. So the empire has another showdown. Even 10 million people can't stop them. Teh empire treats it's citizens like children (hence the phonetic spelling of empire) |

| Bad Religion – Social Suicide Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Society is stagnating. It's a cycle of 'unwashed masses' being interpreted by scholars. There's a burner set to purify society, by weeding out anyone who thinks for themselves. Only way out is to turn the tide, which would kill the structure of society we have now. Hence, social suicide. | |
| Bad Religion – Boot Stamping on a Human Face Forever Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Straight out of the book. I think the first two verses are saying that that humanity is always aware that everything could collapse at any moment, but they try to ignore it, because they might as well enjoy it while they can. Third verse generalises it further, two sides in a war, both just going along with the war, but neither of them can ever win. | |
| Bad Religion – Let Them Eat War Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Haha. Yeah. Extra point: you probably know this, but Marie Antoinette's solution to poverty was 'if they have no bread, give them cake to eat'. Song title implies that GWB says 'let them it war'. Obviousness. |

| Bad Religion – Atheist Peace Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I agree. "from the faith that you release comes an atheist peace. " It's more about letting go of your faith than denying it completely. |
|
| Bad Religion – Live Again (The Fall of Man) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
It's about Muslim suicide bombers. "But what good is something if you can’t have it until you die? " Muslims believe that, if you are martyred, you go straight to paradise. Catch is, you have to die first. |

| Bad Religion – Los Angeles Is Burning Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Yeah, it's a true story, based on the media coverage of the fires, while the city was about to burn up behind them.Think of the media covering the tornados in The Day After Tomorrow. Same message. | |
| Bad Religion – To Another Abyss Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| It's basically about humanity's constant search for purpose and treying to get back 'home'. All they ever manage to go is find another abyss. Everything they find has a 'penchant to depreciate' (lose its value), and they are fallible. | |
