Coldplay – Talk Lyrics 19 years ago
Uncertainty -
‘cause I don’t know what to do
oh, brother I can’t believe it’s true
I’m so scared about the future
and I want to talk to you

His fiance is pregnant (look at the timeframe the song was written - recorded around the time they eloped)
"in the future, where will I be?
you can climb a ladder up to the sun
or a write a song nobody has sung
or do something that’s never been done"

That's all stuff he could've done, but now feels smothered because his future seems closed.

Then he realizes all that stuff will not make him whole like a wife and child.
"are you lost or incomplete?
do you feel like a puzzle?
you can’t find your missing piece?"

So he changes the meaning of the refrain to either the possibilities of his child or realizing from his brother that he can still do all this stuff with a wife and kids.

"in the future, where will I be?
you can climb a ladder up to the sun
or a write a song nobody has sung
or do something that’s never been done
do something that’s never been done"

The I - You part of the refrain adds the ambiguity of whether he's talking about himself or his child.

Coldplay – Talk Lyrics 19 years ago
Dude he's calling his brother because his girlfriend is pregnant and she's talking about getting married. He's uncertain about having a kid and about being married, but he changes his mind after talking to his brother.

He changes his mind when he realizes the potential future of his unborn child. He's singing about Gweneth Paltrow and Apple.

"just reading the first two pages, everyone has given u the meaning. its about boredom, maybe losing your will. so anything else is either just saying how much this song rox or repeating what someone else has already said"

Mike Dirnt wrote the Bass line on acid

Good Charlotte – Let Me Go Lyrics 19 years ago
ALT Lyrics - I went to H.S. with these guys, they're aweosome, i'm stoked they did well. I used to pay $5 to see them at woods' church, and rode bus 55 along East west blvd with BM, who's step sister i knew....

Down in Alexandria [where I live - me! :D] and through those dirty streets
I needed air as well and (who did people meet?)
back then it meant so much to have you by my side
we stumbled upon {something} selfish pride

so you let me go
have some fun
my decision sucks for you
but i'm so young

Along the water lighters lit and happy fun
We felt so close
but we felt better from the sun
who could see from such confusion in our eyes?

I looked at you you looked at me and said "surprise!"

so you let me go
have some fun
my decision sucks for you
but i'm so young

The Game – Wouldn't Get Far Lyrics 19 years ago
corrected lyrics:
For you baby, I'd find you {*4X*}
You wouldn't get far

I done been around the world, been around the block
Been around hoes that fucked Biggie and 'Pac
Like Vida Guerra, ass took her to the top
She'll give you some brains you let her throw up the Roc
Let her put on your chain, she'll throw you some cock
Picture that like Meagan Good and Jamie Foxx
Hype said it's a wrap, she still on the set
Puttin oil on her legs like she Gloria Velez
She was +Eye Candy+ in the XXL
Hopped off the page and on a skateboard with Pharrell
I knew she {"wouldn't get far"} cause five hundred dollars
can't get you that {"far"} how you get that {"far"}
And all these new video bitches tryin to be Melissa Ford
But they don't know Melissa Ford drive a Honda Accord
She a video vixen, but behind closed doors
She do whatever it take to get to the Grammy Awards
Ha ha

[Chorus: The Game]
{"You wouldn't get far"} Fuckin them rap stars
You know who you are, put your hands up ladies
{"You wouldn't get far"} If you kept your legs closed
{"It would be just a waste of time"} But you know
{"You wouldn't get far"} Fuckin them rap stars
You know who you are, I wrote this song for you
{"For you baby, I'd find you"} For you
And you, for alla y'all

[Kanye West]
For you... uhh..

Pop quiz, how many topless, black foxes
did I have under my belt, like boxers
Not to brag but, if it add up
One, two, nigga that's mad nuts
Game you mad nuts, how you gon' call out all these
bitches knowin damn well they gon' call me?
The only dream, of that ghetto prom queen
was to make it to the screen, maybe get seen
Maybe get chose by a nigga from a team
Head so good he don't ask for a pre.. nup
Now ask yourself this question, umm
Would you be with Jay-Z if he wasn't C-E-O
Would you be with F-A-B-O if he drove a Neo
Would you ride with Ne-Yo, if he was in a Geo
Well why the hell you think these bitches comin at me fo'?
But since they all fall in my palm, I take a trio
Yo

[Chorus] - sub "mouth closed" for "legs closed"

[The Game]
I done had my share of bitches with long hair
Short doo like Kalissa, Halle in "Boomerang" yeah
I been around the block in the Bentley drop top
In Miami Beach when Lil' Kim was fuckin with Scott
I got the scoop on Hoops, whatever the case
She'll let you spray in her face long as she Bathing Apes
And ain't nobody tryin to take Beyonce from Jay
But I know a bitch named Superhead he fucked back in the day
The things niggaz do when pussy sittin on they face
Stabbed Un in the stomach
She must have had a pussy like Wonder Woman, on that superhero shit
Fly as Gabrielle Union in the back of my six, fo'
Impala, forget the double D's
I put 'em right in your face like that model bitch Takara
And she ain't win the show but she ridin in that Gallardo
That's why I fuck 'em today and forget 'em tomorrow

[Chorus]

[The Game]
God damn! Y'knahmsayin?
I'm sittin back watchin Kanye video
And I see the same bitch that was in the homeboy Busta Rhymes video
Then I flip the muh'fuckin channel
Checkin out my uncle Snoop Dogg video
And I see the same BITCH, that was in my video!
You know what i'm sayin?
And then y'knahmsayin, to make that even mo' fucked up
I'm watchin Oprah cover Hurricane Katrina
I see the same bitch on Oprah, floatin away on the hood of a Camry
That was in the nigga Lil Weezy video!
I mean DAMN! Everywhere I look
Everywhere I go I see the same hoes
Don't get mad, I'm only bein real
Yeah

Gomez – How We Operate Lyrics 19 years ago
This is cliche, but its pretty obviously about how his relationship works. It sounds to me like he's describing his semi-disfunctional marriage.

Black Stone Cherry – Lonely Train Lyrics 19 years ago
"you can't win a war fighting..." just cut that point..of course you can, that's what war is. But how can't you win it? "...fighting with your brother". Ahh I see, a disunified front.

You all may have your opinions for or against the war, but I challenge you not to extrapolate your own political views into the song interpretation. In no way does it insinuate prejudice at any point.

Black Stone Cherry – Lonely Train Lyrics 19 years ago
Crying Crimson Tears - that response was so ridiculous it makes me want to cry.

most of this song is anti-war, which is a shame b/c its a good song. But the chorus is about American Unity. Militant Islamics are not our brothers in the US--not even in the human kind sense.

Bob Marley and the Wailers – Sun Is Shining Lyrics 20 years ago
I think its about avoiding the ups and downs during the week. Its about sitting back and realizing the beauty in every day. It also might be a message to one of his girlfriends saying he'll still be around...

Nine Inch Nails – Only Lyrics 20 years ago
See I take this one differently. I think its Trent's way of saying he's almost through with the music scene.

the scene
" I'm becoming less defined as days go by
Fading away, well you might say I'm losing focus"

the scene again:
"less concerned with fitting into the world--your world that is"

He's made his money, had his life lasting songs (Closer, for example), made his mark on culture, he's done. He really can't top himself::
"Cause it doesn't really matter any more"

What its like to remove yourself from the spotlight, leave the fans for a while:
"Yes I'm alone, then again I always was
As far back as I can tell
I think maybe it's because you were never really real to begin with"
The "you" being the fans and fame...they weren't true friends or whatnot.

And the "dot" in his eye was the first inkling he didn't want to continue with his lifestyle / career / being famous and it grew into a scab, as in the thought kept getting bigger and bigger. When he climbed down through and wasn't where he was supposed to be is when he actually honored the thought for a little while and what he saw w/o fame and music was "something he shouldn't have seen"...as in, he liked it wayyy too much.

"i just lead you up to hurt myself"
He keeps making records for his fans, but hates the lifestyle
"and it worked...yes it did!"
He just keeps making great records and people keep coming to see him, but he's fucking done.

and the coup de gras:
"there is no you, there is only me."
He doesn't live to please us, his fans, even though he may have in the past. Now he's going to please himself and leave the scene.


Obviously this is just my opinion, but its a very different angle to take the song vs. just another song about a girl...

Veruca Salt – Volcano Girl Lyrics 21 years ago
a little late, but this song's about quitting the band. "leave me lying here, cause I dont' wanna go" talks about not wanting to go on tour.

A million miles of running
And I hit the wall
I bounce back and I run some more
This is it, I'm giving up
I'm calling quits
So get down and meet me on the floor
Way to go, way to flip off everyone
I steal your thunder then I try to bolt
But I could stand a little pity now and then
I'm falling off, I am watered down and fully grown

This is about how touring has gotten old and they're sick of it, and now they're older and they don't rock as hard as they used to. They're saying "f off" to their fans, they're done

and the coup de gras--

Well here's another clue if you please
The seether's Louise


no more mystery about their first hit. This was their last CD too, I believe...

craziness but this is exactly how I feel about the current girl i'm dating...and the previous one, for that matter. Kind of indifference

Sevendust – Live Again Lyrics 21 years ago
I think its about a breakup, and the girl wants desparately to get back but the guy isn't interested.

I think "I turn my face, you're staring back again" actually means he's looking back (in life, for example) and she is still staring back, hasn't moved on.

Godsmack – Touché (feat. John Kosco & Lee Richards) Lyrics 21 years ago
I'm thinking this song is about a superficial relationship--you know, the kinds where you both kinda care about each other and are physically attracted, but only are in the relationship because its comfortable and not because it actually means anything.

Godsmack – I Stand Alone Lyrics 21 years ago
Its about a friend of Scully's who works with him and is blowing off the band or thinks it should go in a different direction. The "so called goddess" is the guy's girlfriend.

And Godsmack isn't anti-religion---they're wiccan, although I don't know how much they actually practice, if at all.
