| Pinhead Gunpowder – At Your Funeral Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I think that this song is about Billie's(or whoever wrote it) girlfriend cheating on him, an example is this line: "Sleepless nights replaying in my head" This is about after, when he found out, that she wasn't the one for him, look at these lines: "But then I opened my eys To the light of the news I'm so glad I live to see the day." The parts about that he'll be laughing at her funeral is about that even though he found out, that she wasn't the one for him, he loved her very much, so he hates her for cheating on him. |

Immortal: If you really want to discuss this song, do it in a nice language, it doesn't help to call us "bitches" or whatever, so shut up if you haven't got anything to say. Yes, a true fan doesn't care what genre it is, but there's a difference between being a fan of the music and being a fan of the band: A fan of the band, which I think you are, concluded by reading your post, likes everything the band does and sings. A fan of the music is only listening to the band's music as long as it's a certain kind of music, that the band plays. I have to say that, if GD began to play mindless popular music, which they hopefully doesn't do, because I like they music they have done and are doing now. |

Rubie Soho: I don't think it's just avril or popmusic in general, I mean, look at this line: "One nation controlled by the media." <--- About thinking on your own. It's funny how this song is so popular, despise it's meaning, but that just show, once again, that music nowadays isn't meant to be listened to, by "teeny boopers." And no, I would call myself that, first of all become I'm not from the States, second, I don't worship any bands, I have a way too broad taste of music, to have a favorite band. Third, I don't listen to pop(except this, if it even is). And yes, making money is nice, but if a band sells out, it often means that the band makes mainstream shit, and don't give a fuck about their former fans. |

First of all Pixiehoppus: Caps Lock off please... Second: If you don't like to discuss a song, then this is not the kind of homepage you should be visitng, because that's what we do on this homepage. Even though I'm arguing against you, I agree with that pop means popular, so yes, GD must be that. And you know why the are popular? Because they are fucking overplayed. I mean, even though I don't listen to radio, it can't be avoided to hear it sometimes, it's played almost constantly, so that people are getting used to it, even if they didn't like the song at first. And last, brilliant post OpinionHead. |

Wow, this really went far of the track, this is a thread about GD not where R. Des Dome lives and what language he speaks. And stop being so hard on R. Des Dome, to fail is to be human, forgive him and forget it. To get back on track, whatshername: About GD being punk or not, yes, there are many reasons why they are, and why they are not. My personal opinion is that it is punk, because I think they developed punk, from an underground movement to be more accessable to listen to(not the same as selling out!), and more bands being able to play in that genre. I believe in this because in every music genre(or almost every) there is different degrees of that specific genre, some of the music can be slow, some of it can be fast etc. |

blueyedragon and whatshername: Yes, this is a message board for posting your song meanings, however, you should be able to discuss your meanings about the song and, for an example in this thread, develop that discussion to something more, in this case, about the develop of the band, and the definition of "selling out". Windgodess: I wouldn't say the reason for being sad, because you listen to this song, because this song is basically about a sad thing, and this is just an opinion, it could be right, and it could be wrong, however, it's an opinion; having failed your own dream, and feeling like he is alone in this matter, noone feels the same way and hoping for someone comes to help him, getting on with his life. |

lifeisoverrated: Is, this site is indeed for songmeanings, as the name of the site is, but you should be allowed to discuss each others conclusion of the specific song or... And I haven't seen anyone mentioning anything about Blink182...? |

whatshername: I still believe, as I've said before, that the are on the path to selling out, but not yet there. I think the reason for the black makeup, is to look like other "cool" bands, at the time. I think the whole reason behind the black makeup is to make the artists look sad, too make them look more belivable, when they sing sad songs... (correct me if I'm wrong, I don't really know much about makeup). About B,S and B, I don't know if the song is about that(see my comment about that song), but if it is, well... people change. |

franzluv44: Maybe love, you can love someone so much it hurts, when the person is not there. whatshername: Even though I don't see where you get the whole makeup part from, but as franzluv also said, you backed your teory up very good, it could be that too. |

faithlesstrue: It's not giving him a hard time, it's called to argue for and against why you like the song, and then discussing the meaning. |

OpinionHead: Yes, i still remember freedom of choice, it may be that they dont give a fuck what we think about them, however, all the bands that survives is those who sell out, those who appeal to peoples' lowest common denominator, simple rhytms and lyrics that doesn't mean anything at all. Hovewer they may give a fuck about what we think, because fame does crazy things to people, who can't handle it, for an example a famous musician wants to make more money than he already has, therefor he finds out what people likes at that point, and makes a song about that, which usually becomes popular. That is selling out! I'm not saying Green Day is selling out, just that they are heading that way, and I think that's a shame. About some of the bands you mentioned, no, I haven't heard anything of them, and that must be because they are different from what VH1 and MTV , who almost controls what will be popular and what won't. Hovewer, I don't watch those channels, neither do I listen to much pop, so that's why I haven't heard of them. I think the reason why many haven't heard of them is because of VH1 and MTV, besides controlling pop music, they influences magazines and websites about new pop, not to write about those bands, because they haven't heard of them. About Green Day and their future, let's see... |

To whatshername and atthedrive-in: Yes, to some point they have sold out to some point. I'm not saying they've completly sold out, but to some point, I mean, for an example what's with the black makeup around their eyes, I haven't seen that until American Idiot came out. I think that's an influence from other bands. LurkerAbyss: You can have different meanings about a song, that's what this board is about, sharing opinions, so both opinions can be right. Personally I think this a good song, both the music and the text, which I can relate to. And yes, I listened to some older stuff and you can't compare this song to that, because this song is a different kind of punk, than they did then. This is my opinion, so say what you want about it. |
