| John Frusciante – A Loop Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
If: Icicles are flames in this city Everything is what it is not Each thing diametrically opposed to itself I can't wait for life Then Life = Death. "I can't wait for life" = "I can't wait for death". Because death is the new life. I don't think this is in a negative context. |

|
I think it's about touring. ...and some lyric randomness? |
|
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Slow Cheetah Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The verses: "Slow cheetah come before my forest Looks like it’s on today" Make me think of death but I agree with the great interpretation of the english major guy who said it's about trying to fit inside a mold which doesn't belong to you. Isn't it kind of like being dead? Also the very first line says "Waking up dead inside of my head". |
|
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Charlie Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I pick something about drugs in the song, too. When I hear "charlie's making me smile" I can't picture another thing than a kid or a baby so my guess is that this is a very positive song indeed. About how kids indirectly help us to get out of our troubles. | |
| Tom Waits – Hoist That Rag Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Yeah, of course, doubleoh. "So just open fire/As you hit the shore/All is fair in love/and war/Hoist that rag". Well it seems that cloth is no cloth anymore for Tom Waits, and a rag sure represents the glory of a flag whose glorious times are long gone. One truthful now ragged, powerful lyrics for a powerful song. And adding to Imnotsure's this song is also played with Marc Ribot of the Cubanos Postisos and a long time Waits colaborator from Swordfishtrombomes (or before I'm not sure) and the music is alike to the "Son" music from Cuba. Interesting indeed. And still one of Wait's Best. |

| David Bowie – Memory of a Free Festival Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i think this is about a drug orgy but then theres the slight possiblity that i am absolutely stupidly wrong.. yet i'm honored to be the first person to comment this song and humor appart i'd like to add that this is one of my more beloved hymns and damn it i don't know why, | |
| David Bowie – Cygnet Committee Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|

| my friend partly says this is about heroine. what is this about i dont know. | |
| New Order – Turn My Way Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
he sings some choruses too. what is this song about right now i don't care but everytime i listen to it i feel like something is skewed in our reality and that we are being deformed by it aided by our failing memory what we wanted to be what we wanted to do and what are whe now and can we yet do all those tings we dreamed about did we sold out? |

| Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
because there's a lot of people who don't like to like nirvana. nirvana was somewhat like the smashing pumpkins in terms of popularity -just to point a reference-. they became too popular and -arguably for some- remained true to their creative intention. hmm. some of us don't like sharing our band specially when we believe the band is being misunderstood but then, we¡re not the fucking band to judge who understand or not. i think many of the hardcorests nirvana detractors are against nirvana because it vulgarised -meaning everyone loved them- and were not a diamond in the mud anymore. right? |

| Deftones – Back to School (Mini Maggit) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
ok. i've briefly read everything here and i think that since the beatles the mistake in interpretation of lyrics is thinking in just one dimension. you people go as specific as thinking that this is a song against fcking fred durst, others think its about sucking in school rocks but then dont you think-feel at many different levels? like tying up what you have felt and experienced and understood about similar events all way across your life and understanding of it? well i think maybe chino moreno is singing about a specific event or season of his life but i believe the song has a bit of how he feels about his whole fitting in society and he does it through a school theme because school is the first round up with full society for almost all of us and it goes on for years and it can be enlightening and painful, joyful and/or boring for others. school is a social sandbox -for me a pissed on sandbox- or maybe he's just singing about how he felt at school... also i sense a disconfort in the role he plays in life, being in cliques, the bad boy, admired by all and accepted by none. that sure hasn't left him to this day in some way. just a guess. but don't try to be so specific. lyrics are not riddles. they, in the best case, are poetry. no *simple* hidden meanings in poetry there guys. we are all polysemic. |

| Tom Waits – Hoist That Rag Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I dunno about the meaning but the music is incredible. One of the best Waits' songs to date. | |
| Morrissey – All The Lazy Dykes Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"And when you look at me you actually see me And I've, Never felt so alive..." He who sings that is actually a man. So. I believe is more about finding true love not that hetero or homosexual is the right kind of love. The girl in the song is trapped in a lousy marriage so "join the girls" ¿are they lesbians or are they girls who found true love or liberation? |
|
| Morrissey – Irish Blood, English Heart Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Of course you've notticed that the very title "Irish Blood, English Heart" is about unity. That's the way it strikes me when he sings the paragraph "I dream about the time when the english are sick to death with labor..." because I understand he's pointing his finger against the fact that the people has been divided with endless bloodshed by the interests of politicians through the centuries. | |
| Morrissey – America Is Not The World Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Can't you possibly imagine that maybe 'America' is just a fat girl from Colombia or elsewhere? ...Just kidding. |
|
| Morrissey – How Can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel? Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| but then maybe 'America' could be a big fat girl from Colombia. | |
| Morrissey – How Can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel? Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i grant you that in the context of the record, being it's first lines "america your head's too big because america you're belly is too big"... in that context it could be. damn this postmodern poets uh. | |
| Morrissey – How Can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel? Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Hmm. I like the analysis but. Great works of are art often polysemic or done in a way that it's difficult to identify what is the source and the objective of the work. I believe the song is really about abuse of authority and who knows which specific situation is Morrisey singing about. M is very subtle when he writes these lyrics and that in their universality they can be interpreted as anything that suits the main motif -abuse of authority- and the USA-Iraq war is a clear example of that. The message of the song seems clear and generic. I like this song very much. |

| Bauhaus – Hollow Hills Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| If my memory serves me well, I heard peter murphy once said this song was about the astral world or something supernatural. | |
| TV on the Radio – Staring At The Sun Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
creation and destruction are but sides of the same coin. this band amazes me, they overflow with original creativity. damn and they don't need a "wall of sound". great stuff. |
