| Asher Roth – I Love College Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Cool song, catchy tune. I'm not sure if Asher is sarcastic or not, probably both. It describes a good part of my college time. To the person who said that people should work hard and get a life and implied that people who have the lifestyle described in the ong are losers - really smart people don't work harder, they just work smarter. So the best thing is to work smart and therefore having time to party hard. ;) Best of both worlds. ;) | |

| Papa Roach – Getting Away With Murder Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
He who can read has won half the battle! The first single from Getting Away With Murder, the soaring, melodic title cut, will hit radio next month. Instead of playing the victim in the song as he has in the past, Shaddix assumes the role of an antagonist involved in acts of deception and deceit. But the song also has double and even triple meanings. "I wrote it so you can take it in different ways," he said. "It can be about when you're doing some sh-- behind some people in your life's backs and they don't know about it but it makes you feel like sh--, which I've done. But it can also be about what's going on right now in the political world [in the Middle East], or about these big, huge corporations who are so corrupt." http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1489203/20040702/papa_roach.jhtml Gx Lani |

| Rammstein – Du Hast (English) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
[quote="daCooper"]great job of rammstein...becoz u react to the song like they want u to react..it´s so easy with the song...it´s a pun, nothing but a pun. thauglor is right when he says that the spelling of hast (have) and hasst (hate) is diffrent but the pronuncation is exactly the same. in the context of "du hast mich gefragt und ich habe nichts gesagt" is the only meaning "have", so "u have asked me and i said nothing". BUT u can easily gather from the context of "du hast mich" that he says "u hate me"; this play on words is what the song makes so interesting and not translatable into any other language.[/quote] [quote="TheBaron"]Let me just add this (again). In my opinion the german lyrics refer to both meanings of the word (hate and have) in a clever play on word meanings - this however only works in the german language - when translating you have to choose one or the other to have meaningful english lyrics. Probably the best way to look at it is to say that the english song is in fact 'completely different in meaning' to the german song.[/quote] yeah, that's exactly the way I do interpret the lyrics as a German. There is DEFINITELY a double meaning of the line "Du has(s)t mich" - if you see it in context to the following line - "Du hast mich gefragt", then it is "You have asked me" - but if you see only the line "Du has(s)t mich" - only this line for itself - then it could also mean "You hate me", because the pronunciation is THE SAME. It's that simple. And like I said, it is only for THAT line, because in the following lines you see clearly from the context that it's "You have asked me", because "You hate asked me" makes no sense, duh. Personally I think that Rammstein changed the "have" inot "hate" because - translate these lines literally: Du You Du hast You have Du has(s)t mich You have / hate me So what makes more sense in the English language? Of course the "you hate me", because "you have me" is kind of a nonsense phrase. If at all, it must have been "you have ASKED me", but not just "you have me". That is because the german and english WORD ORDER is different - in the german version the "asked" comes after the "have me", so the "you have me asked" makes only sense in german, but not in English. I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to explain you about the german grammar and word order - English is not my mother tongue, so sorry for my poor English. Anyway, that's why a verbatim translation had made no sense for that 3rd line again. BTW, it's always about the 3rd line (Du has(s)t mich), did you guys notice that? LOL. Anyway, another personal thought of mine is that it is indeed a word play with a double meaning. "Du hast mich" makes sense as well as "Du haßt mich", even though the "wedding vow"-fraction might totally beg to differ. Yeah, it's true, the song is about a wedding vow, but "Du haßt mich" (You hate me) still makes sense, because the person the song is addressed to might actually HAVE a reason to HATE the "singer" - because the singer turned the addressed person down by saying "NO" to the whole wedding thing. Hmm....did you get my point? Alright, that was almost a novel, but this is my interpretation and I just wanted throw in some thought-provoking impulses! Peace. ;o) |

| Rammstein – Amerika Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I love this song too, because it reflects exactly my thoughts on the american culture spreaded all over the world today - or should I rather say: forced upon the rest of the world? Anyways, what makes me really wondering is that Rammstein even did "dare" to release a song like that - I mean, they are fuckin huge in the US - wouldn't you think that this song could limit their success somewhat now? So - wasn't it somewhat of a risky business to create a song like that? Don't get me wrong, like I said, the song is awesome, but just wondering... | |
| Drowning Pool – Step Up Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Personally I think the song is killer, but I don't like the video too. The "new" singer has such a great voice on this song, but when I saw the video for the first time, I was like: "WTF?!" Half porn, and full of the dumb cliches that we already have enough of in this fucked up world. Sitting in the hot tub with some attention-greedy and powerhungry sluts messed up the whole song imho. Plus, the video makes absolutely no fucking sense in context to the lyrics. So I can only stand the song when I'm listening to it WITHOUT seeing the video. | |
