| Bratmobile – Polaroid Baby Lyrics

i agree with have2mints, but to elaborate:
the stanzas in between the first and last two reflect the state of mind of people other than the privelaged white kids, though not necessarily punk, i think |

| The Dresden Dolls – Coin-Operated Boy Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
everyone thinking this is about a sex toy/dildo/real doll is a dumbass. why the fuck would amanda write a song so literally?
"but because of the lines plastic and elastic"--
BUT you're a moron. the end. its about a girl who is tired of real boys who hurt her and wishes she could just get what she wants without "complications galore." |

| Mindless Self Indulgence – Shut Me Up Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
i don't think its about sex. taken literally, "fuck me up" is different than "fuck me," so by johnny c's logic it doesn't add up.
of course thats just in my opinion.
i think its basically a guy who likes metal who is angry. he's perfectly aware that everyone else is angry at him as well and possibly want to harm him "fuck me up/shut me up." he knows they all hate him and there's kinda a point where your self-pity turns and you just gotta step up and take what you'll get. |

| Zounds – Can't Cheat Karma Lyrics

i couldve sworn this was about the state of the world...
"big cats small cats some cats are fat cats" being the fat cats with their big businesses. people strolling up saying to 'grow up' and basically, grow out of this sense that you can change the world, even though he says 'i just dont know what i can do'--to change things, that is.
if a change is gona come you've got to help it on its way |

| Alanis Morissette – Forgiven Lyrics

i think it is about how catholic girls sometimes get ostrasized in a place where everybody just "needs something to believe in"
i can totally relate because i'm catholic and i feel like this sometimes, like sometimes we're all just holding on to something that we PRAY is really there |

| The Suicide Machines – I Hate Everything Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
I think the hate that the machines refer to in other songs is the hate against other people for color of their skin, ethnicity, gender, whatever.
but come on, everybody has their bad days and just hates everything and everyone and wants to be alone. i see no hypocrasy in being human. |

| Sleater-Kinney – A Real Man Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
I think it is about the pressure women get to have sex. The pressure put on them by any guy, be it boyfriend or just some guy at a party, especially the ones who prey on girls they know are virgins.
At least, that's what I think because I heard this song in middle school and I could REALLY relate. |

| Sleater-Kinney – Oh! Lyrics

lol whoah. now that i see its about masturbation it makes sense.
but what about "Nobody lingers like your hands on my heart...No one comes close don't worry you got it!"?
how could that tie into masturbation? unless she's just telling her boyfriend "it's okay, i love you, not my vibrator" or something? |

| Broken Social Scene – I'm Still Your Fag Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
Yeah, I didn't know what to make of the lyrics but Parachutes has kinda opened my eyes a bit.
"It's a possibility to live without lips" I think is referring to the hush-hush nature of the man and the boyfriend's relationship. |

| Operation Ivy – Artificial Life Lyrics

|
this song isn't just about music "back then" because it can hold true now, and not only for fake pre-packaged generalized out-of-the-factory music, it is also talking about the consumation of such in every aspect of life, like having a "window for your tomb" because its unecessary yet we still want it. |

i like this song.
to me this song is about shaved women talking about screaming babies to a woman who doesn't shave her legs. the shaved woman might be a traitor and is also ranting against abortion.
oh but that's just me. |

| Le Tigre – Deceptacon Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
i love how the first two stanzas are kinda just saying "fuck you" to everyone who doesnt realize the politics of le tigre's songs and just still take them as a band of 'chicks' and nothing more.
and i love how that other stanza is taking a jab at nofx. i love it all. the music + the lyrics. |
