| Nevermore – Sentient 6 Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Hell yes. The best Nevermore song to date, in my opinion. Dane's vocals completely brings this song to life. It's perfect. | |
| Biohazard – Domination Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Dirty politicians preoccupying the people with pure garbage and empty issues while fullfilling their own personal, self-gaining agenda - money at the expense of others' lives. Nothing really new offered in this song; a straightforward complaint about people who have too much power for their own good. It's got a good overall sound to it with a nice variety of vocals. The quality bothers me a bit, but decent as far as Biohazard goes. |

| Slayer – Jihad Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Jihad does mean struggle - a holy struggle. In many cases, it's implied as being a holy war. Everything else in the previous post is complete cracked out nonsense. "I mean, c'mon." I love the lyrics. The song pisses me off in a good kind of way. It reminds me of how much I love being an infidel. |

| In Flames – Satellites And Astronauts Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Yup, that's one of the major concepts I brought together about the chorus, but I chose the one I thought I could explain well. Thanks for throwing that one out in laymen's terms for everybody. | |

The only way I can explain my views on this lyric is to break it down entirely (and due to the lengthiness of this explanation, I've excluded the second half, so ask me if you want the rest): 'Since the day of my departure, I've been stumbling through reality.' His departure is the point in his life when he starts to contemplate the purpose of it all. His dissatisfaction with himself and the world is starting to get to him. 'I play my symphony in reverse, in search of that special path.' He's more than likely wondering what to make out of it, and whether or not there even is, or ever was, a route worth taking. 'Be gentle to the tear in this eye. Lonesome arms lost its wings again.' "Again" is what stands out. He's dying (mentally and so forth) a little bit each day, resulting from his inability to feel secure and wanted, and that his "immature," or otherwise frail side, is in need of compassion. Now my favorite part; the chorus. This part of the song branches off into a million different ideas, but here is my preferred take on it: 'Buy me a trip to the moon, so I can laugh at my mistakes.' Obviously, taken from a literal viewpoint, you really wouldn't have a care in the world if you were drifting thousands of miles away from it. The best way to "laugh" at your mistakes is to leave them all far behind. 'You see, I can see the end from here.' This line tells you that looking at the big picture, so to speak, lets you get in touch with your own mortality. From there he can clearly "see" his "end" drawing near. 'From this perspective, it looks kind of silly. Satellites and astronauts; tell me there are greater things ahead.' Hear me out on this one. Now that he's seeing Earth from the moon, he's amused at how meaningless and trivial everything is. Therefor, he pleads to the "Satellites and Astronauts" to tell him there are greater things coming. (He more or less is asking a wiser entity, perhaps even God, if there's any meaning at all to the world before him.) |
