| Modest Mouse – The Stars Are Projectors Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| this song is about a pyschedelic trip on a drug...lsd, mushrooms, salvia or DMT. they all give you extreme feelings of realization about things in life you never understood before and actually one can gain a type of knowledge on life that most people dont. that is what he is talking about in this song. the realizations of tripping out and accepting life better. | |
| Thursday – Division St. Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| when i saw them live this is what Geoff said about this song "this song is about where we all used to hang out and shit. its an evil place. a dirty, dirty street." | |
| Sunny Day Real Estate – 48 Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| the screaming is the best part of this song...its defenitly not fake...you can just feel jeremy's broken heart coming out of his screams....Are you strong enough, pitiful boy? | |
| Death Cab for Cutie – President of What? Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I personally think that this song is about witnessing children growing up and not liking much of what they do. "i saw the scene unfold.." the interlude with the talking sorta gives it away. the arch your backbone part is about experementing with sex...so on | |
| Cursive – The Rhyme Scheme Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| yeah its defenetly about him writing lyrics. the line "its not working - i dont feel anybetter" is saying that writing the deep lyrics dont help him | |
| Sunny Day Real Estate – In Circles Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| i think this song is about growing up in the teens. everythings so confusing and it feels like your just going in circles, troubles with family, friends. i think the video and the little boy in the video represents the innocence that was lost when going through the teenage years. | |
| At the Drive-In – 198d Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| ummm its not cedrics feelings about the band. things for atdi started going bad after Relationship of Command came out. they were on constant tours and then they got in a car wreck and they were really frustrated, and thats when everything came apart. Vaya was written before their breakup, so Leftlainahead you could be right about a struggle from earlier times, but i think its about the gravestone funeral thing. | |
| At the Drive-In – 300 Mhz Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| i think this is about the soviet unions and whatever...when cedric talks in the other language, it seems to me that he is making fun of them and isnt actually talking in their language, but trying to imitate them. for some reason when hes saying it i keep hearing "sniff fuck" i dunno i could be wrong, go ahead and listen and see for yourself. | |
| At the Drive-In – Hourglass Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This is definetly jim singing. If you actually listen to sparta and hear jim when he sings , the voice is almost exactly the same. also in the climax of the song you can tell its jim becuase his voice gets deeper and raspier. anyway i think this song is about the combination of lonelyness and wanting to be something else becuase he is so lonely. | |
| At the Drive-In – Quarantined Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Jim did all background vocals except Omar says Manscript Replica in Rolodex Propoganda. anyway this song is about a man going to war. its pretty obviouse compared to other Atd-i songs. "autonomous machete for hands,warden and judge hide behind masks" - machete for hands means always having a gun on you, warden and judge sound like generals and they are hidden behind masks so they cant die. the masks are the army and real fighters. "wet raindrop lull,small rationing" - it often rains alot and the soldiers get small rations of food. "days become months and i seem to have forgotten the warmth of the sun" - this shows that they have been out there so long fighting the war. "feeding frenzy, it's contagious " everybody is killing eachother and its hard to stop and eventually it comes naturally. Proof enough there |

| At the Drive-In – One Armed Scissor Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
For some reason i think this is about suicide also. Alot of the lyrics dont make sense to me but some ill take a shot at. "pucker up and kiss the asphalt now"- the body falling to the ground after he/she has died. "send transmission from the one armed scissor, cut away" - the actual act of killing themselves. "banked on memory" - the memories of what forced the suicide. "self-destruct sequence" - suicide...self destruct "unknown origin , is this the comfort of being afraid, solar eclipsed, black out the vultures as they wait" -this to me is the after life and possible going either to heaven or hell, seeing the light maybe... "'cause i'm a million miles away will you get this letter"- they are a million miles away in heaven or hell and the letter is the suicide note. ATDI 4ever |

| At the Drive-In – Pattern Against User Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I think this song is about drugs, not the medication kind. I dont know what drugs they did, could be weed ..to..LSD or even Ecstacy, but i think this song is definetly about being in an altered state of mind. Some of the lyrics i cant think of what they mean but here are my ideas on what some of them mean. "hypodermic people poking fun at the living" - hypodermic people are drug users..hypodermic needles , get it, and poking fun at the living is saying that doing drugs is a fun way of life for them. "please lift the weight out of this it takes the weight out of living" - doing drugs makes them forget about struggles or hardships. it takes the weight out of living. "pattern against user-dialated" - the drug users act differently them when sober and its a pattern against them. their eyes dialate and get red from the drug. "and if this clock keeps ticking away will time be hesitated, of all the minutes that were taken away, will your watch be waiting" - they know doing drugs is a waste of time and could kill them in the end but they dont stop. Makes sense to me. |

| AFI – God Called In Sick Today Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song can be taken in many different ways, but i think it is about a kid whos mom and dad split up. The mom got remarried to what would be the kids step dad. His step dad either broke up with his mother or died. "Im caught in the twisting of the vine" - hes caught in who to live with and he is inbetween his mom and dads fights when they were togehter. "Ignore and leave for me the headstone crumbling behind." - when his mom got remarried he was ignored and it turned out to be just a headstone crumbling behind. "I cant help my laughter as she cries" - happy that step dad is gone becuase he wasnt right for her "And miles away my mother cries." - his mother is sad. This could be right on or way wrong but its my interpretation of it. |

| Sparta – Red Alibi Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Somekid i believe you might be right. It seems like alot of Wiretap Scars has been written about the break-up of a girl,it must have played a big part in Jims life, but who knows we could all be wrong....only Sparta knows...Anyways this song kicks ass. | |
| Sparta – While Oceana Sleeps Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Oh and by the way, shokknterror i heard that Jim has recently got a disease and was very sick and the disease makes him shake, and his whole body shake. I noticed him shaking on the performance also and thought something was wrong and once i heard about that disease it explained it. | |
| Sparta – While Oceana Sleeps Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| d krez im not completely doubting you but i think the song Travel By Bloodline is actually about Jims grandpa, and i dont see how this song could be about his grandpa. Who knows i could by completely wrong and you did hear him right at that concert, but ok. | |
| Sparta – Collapse Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I, also believe this song is about a relationship. Here is my take on the lyric meanings. This is my favorite song ever, it gives me chills everytime i hear it. i connect with it. "The host of the show comes down to collapse on the ground." - i believe the host is Jim. When the relation ship didnt work out, his life and emotions collapsed. "and the crime scene revisits me" these are the memories he had with the person that he keeps remembering and it makes him ache as a crime scene would to a guilty person. "this body shut down in this body shut down in Bordeaux and the shores of gold coast, on the balcony I search for sleep." - i think this is another analogy of his emotions collapsing. Bordeaux and the Gold coast were beautiful things that he thought he had, and he just dwells on the lost and searches for sleep on the balcony looking at the bueatiful things. "the future has fallen short, when the sun sets north" this is the future he thought they had fell short and died "Words speak and choose, make sense and lose" this possibly means she told him things that he looked forward to but never happened, becuase they lose. "Capsize the tall tale , but always fail" this again means looking forward to what could have been but it was just a tall tale and it failed. "Forfeit the tall tale, I always will." This is trying to forget the tall tale, which was the possibility of a relationship. "The host had his mouth sewn shut, all in the name of trust"-i think this is keeping his emotions inside him, not telling anyone or his girl what he felt becuase he can only trust himself. "when the blood goes thin hes giving in" i think this is when he was in love with the girl. he did everything for her and thought she loved him back but he just fell into her trap of game playing and was giving in. "you can spare us the formal toast , the drunken anecdotes" - this is the girl not ever considering his feelings and not knowing what she caused inside him. "from this day on goes on and on" he will never forget what she did to him "You know when he falls apart" the girl knows she has hurt him but still doesnt recognize it or say she is sorry. "he listens in the dark to the records turn ill never learn" he constantly thinks about her and how she hurt him and no one will ever know what it feels like "to set it down" - him trying to forgot about her "you'll set it down" - she forgot him and moved on This is my take on the song. Anyone can take this song the way the want becuase it can mean so many different things to them. |

| Sparta – Mye Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| The idea of Sparta starting out fresh and new is correct. Atdi wasnt right and now starting Sparta feels right ,honest and correct. | |
| Sparta – Air (Wiretap Scars version) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I agree that this song is about the breakup of Atd-i. "Apathy falls in the ocean, at least we went down fighting"-this means Atdi broke up but they were trying to keep it how they wanted, their creative difference. "Up till now been riding fine but the curving walls leave me begind" possibly means up until the point of break up they were doing just find, and the curving walls could be jims/tony/pauls view were to take the band. The " Did you remember those days.." i think means just remembering the Atdi days. The line "Ideas wont happen" possibly means their ideas wouldnt go through to Cedric and Omar, or they didnt like the ideas the rest of the band had. I think the line "if you see through these motives, youll please report your progress , to the captain, our captain so he can mark the atlas." is Jim or someone else giving ideas what to do to the captain, who i believe is Cedric, so he can mark the atlas, being his approval. Due to Atd-i's break up becuase of creative differences, i think this fits. |

| Sparta – Travel By Bloodline Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| yah i agree, seems pretty evident. Grandpa's always have stories to tell....Jim is gonna keep his blood flowing through the family. | |
| Sparta – Tensioning Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Im the first one to comment on this amazing song...im not sure what it is about but im going to try and give a guess at it, im probably going to be wrong but owell...ok.....about fighting in a relationship..."piece this togehter and its always a fight, this puzzles in tact and youre always right".....the puzzle being the relation ship, and the woman always being right, and if the sky could fall it would always be the same. "And it ends, from a scream to a whisper, can u free me from these words and let me forget....." i think that is the fight ending and jim being sorry for starting it becuase the woman is always right. "tensioning troubles" relationship tensioning "covered up lies"...maybe some lies in relationship. well thats basically what i get from this song, its absolutely amazing, gives u goosebumps...hear this song |

| Sparta – Death In The Family Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i got no clue what this is about | |
| Sparta – End Moraine Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song is awsome, its so aggessive. I think this is about someone who lied or made a mistake. "this is your history you made what you will be" - the person cant change the past and now has to deal with. Facts oare of no concern they upset your story" - hearing the facts about what happened wont help. One thing that confuses me is the talk on the Moraine and Glaciers. i know moraine is something to do with land and canyons or something. but anyways this song is awsome, my favorite off porcelain. |
|
| Sparta – Lines In Sand Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| what i get from this song is getting through the hardships of life, just read the lyrics and they will explain themselfs...this song is real good | |
| Sparta – Breaking The Broken Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Im not too sure what this song is about but Im thinking its about how he doesnt have enough time with his wife becuase of touring or something. I dont know, its just a guess...here is my proof "when all that matters should be me and you" - now that they are married it should just be the 2 of them but Jims other love is there which is Sparta "despite our life you cannot say, and you say your not ok" - she doesnt admit she doesnt like him gone alot maybe....i really dont know, only Jim knows becuase they are his emotions. |
|
| Sparta – La Cerca Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song is about Sparta's life growing up on the El Paso/Juarez Border and the poverty in them. "grew up on a man made line" - the man made line being the border of USA and Mexico. "these hills in our hometown disguise the beaten down" - it may seem beatiful and no one looks past the beautiful to see the bad. That is what i get from this song. |
|
| Sparta – While Oceana Sleeps Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I think that this song is about a girl he was with and how it didnt work out. "it makes me miss my friends" - it possibly being the girl, never having time for friends "you wasted my days" - self explanitory "building on shaking ground, you cant carry on" - you cant carry on a relationship if one person or the other doesnt want it "these tides sweep us out of reach" - the tides are the things the keep breaking up the relationship and they are swept out of reach |
|
| Sparta – Hiss The Villain Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| this song is pretty strait forward. its about Jims marraige. hes dedicated and loves the chick and he doesnt want to waste breath or time so early in their lives | |
| Sparta – Guns Of Memorial Park Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Im pretty sure this song is about Jim's childhood. I read something about the song and that Memorial Park was a place Jim used to go. the chorus "hold these, hold these memories, dont let me forget these secret walkways" i think means that he is looking back on his memories and doesnt want to forget them. the second part of chorus "Through these, through these memories, ive found my peace and welcomed yesterday" means he accepted the bad times in his past....finding peace and welcoming yesterday. |
