| Lupe Fiasco – Fighters (feat. Matthew Santos) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i don't get how everyone thinks it says 'little boy'... i can so clearly hear 'its a boy' as in, when a child is born and the doctor pronounces its gender. i've listened to it over and over and i swear that's what it says. is anyone else hearing it? | |

| Bloc Party – Pioneers Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i think its about people who started a relationship, despite both knowing that they didn't have much of a chance, but they believed that they could overcome the problems that everyone else has had in their position, and be the first to succeed in a supposedly ill fated relationship, they thought they'd conquer it but i guess they failed, and they won't be the last to do so, to try against the odds and to fail to overcome them. | |
| Still Remains – I Can Revive Him With My Own Hands Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i think this song is about contraception, and how we're (supposedly) extincting ourselves as a species by not reproducing enough. these guys are catholic, right? it would make sense. now, its unfair to say its just about contraception, the lyrics are an indictment of what 'love' means to people today, what love has become. this would explain all the references to love dying, being burned, crashed, shot, etc. also the line 'love became the pill...' outwardly appears to be referring to an anti-depressant or recreational drug, but i'm thinking the line may also symbolically refer to 'the pill'. i think its also interesting to note the repetition of the verse describing a child whose death was caused by someone else, the same person who is doing this 'loving'. its the only one of these verses that is repeated, maybe theyre trying to say something about a child being killed. finally, the most important lyrics in my theory: If you take the one and minus him by two, You got the end of the world before it's even begun. take the one (one child) and minus him by two (two parents) you've got the end of the world (extinction due to negative population growth) before its even begun (if adam and eve had only had one kid, there would be no civilisation, according to christian creationism). basically i think this part of the song is referring to the belief that there is a trend in society for people to have less kids, resulting in negative population growth (this would be true if no couple had more than two kids between them, and some had less) and that if people don't follow the (may i add, catholic) belief that humans must go forth and multiply then the species will become extinct. that's my interpretation of the lyrics, me, im an atheist and personally i believe that if we want to maintain our standard of life and not outgrow our planet we really need to have less kids, but that aside, based on my understanding that still remains are a christian band (and im guessing, predominantly catholic) that's what i think this song is about. as for the 'I can revive him with my own two hands' bit, i reckon HerEyesDestroyed is probably right. |

| Saosin – New Angel Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Yeah, it took me a while to warm to this song, but I like it now, also I did prefer Anthony Green as the singer, but Cove is still fairly good in his own right. | |
| Glasseater – Art Of Communication Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Uh... I really doubt this song was made with a personal relationship in mind... it practically screams international relations, probably the Israel/Palestine conflict, but also possibly just hate and fighting between different countries, racial groups etc... | |
| Underoath – Burden in Your Hands Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This is what pisses me off about Underoath, I really like their music but I disagree with their views and that makes it hard to fully enjoy it. However in this instance I can't really blame them, if I was Christian I'd be 'pro-life' as well. Of course I'm not, so this and many other songs of theirs are kinda ruined for me. | |
| Saosin – New Angel Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This is off the 'Capitol Demos' disc. It's nothing like the other 'No Angel' which is actually pre-Anthony (really old) but this one isn't bad. It's pretty easy to figure out I reckon, the speaker is basically saying their significant other; 'we should break up,' because "there's nothing going on" i.e. the relationship ain't goin' nowhere. Whatsmore, they basically want to get forget the whole thing. Thus the lines: "Take it back and rewind this tape" and "I never wanted to hear all the things that you told me." In the repeated line, "Cause you wouldn't take me home" the phrase 'take me home' is a metanym of 'taking me into your life.' By 'coming home tonight' themselves, the speaker is indicating that they have given up hope of the relationship moving forward, and are instead looking for a relationship elsewhere. Of course this is all my interpretation, I'd like to hear other peoples as well. | |

| This song is actually by a band called Open Hand. | |
| System of a Down – Sad Statue Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I'm just wondering whether "a generation that didn't agree" is referring to the current adult generation, and their disagreement on whether the war is right or wrong, or if it is referring to the younger generation, who probably can be said to disagree almost unanimously with the war. Is the disagreement within the generation or is it the generation's disagreement with what's happening. I personally think they are referring to the youth, but I'm biased, I'm one of them. |

| System of a Down – Cigaro Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Just saw SOAD yesterday at the last show of the Big Day Out here in Perth, and they were fuckin awesome. The meaning of this song is pretty easy to see when you look at the tshirts they were selling, which had the words 'Mine bigger than yours' over a picture of a howitzer (artillery gun) like the ones the US Army has. What I interpret this to be saying is that the US government is basically in a dick measuring contest with the other countries of the world, and is asserting its 'superiority' through intimidation with the threat (and in the case of iraq, fulfilling that threat) of military action (invasion, occupation). The same thing is happening with North Korea. I alse agree entirely with Renegrenade's comments. | |
