| Mogwai – Acid Food Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The lyrics are typically abstract of Mogwai. However, when I look at the words of this song, I see it as being applicable to a disfunctional relationship. It breaks down to me personally--and very specifically-- as follows: WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE STORM, WAS EVERYONE OK? after the argument, are we still ok together? I TRIED TO CALL AGAIN, I THINK THEY'VE GONE AWAY i tried to call you but you didn't answer. I think the bad things that plague my temper are gone. WE'LL COME BACK THE OTHER WAY we'll get it together I DREAMT OF AN ICE AGE TODAY, COLD AND WHITE TO SEE i thought of a bleak world without you today I WALKED FOR MILES AND MILES, THEY CAME BACK THE OTHER WAY i went for a walk, and the "bad things" came back to me. WE LEARNT THEM AS WE WENT, FORGOT THEM STRAIGHT AWAY we learned how to deal with eachother's personalities day by day, but in the heat of a clash, these things we learnt seemed to vanish in our minds THE ONES WE LEFT BEHIND some lessons we forgot THE ONES WE SENT AWAY some lessons we dismissed as nonsense WE'LL COME BACK THE OTHER WAY we'll get it together |

| These guys are all self-procliamed athiests, and this song is perfectly consistant with their beliefs. I love this meaning. Live every day like it's your last. | |
| Bob Dylan – Bob Dylan's 115th Dream Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is brilliant. It really cracks me up. Basically, it is criticizing American culture, and comparing modern (1960's) America's appeal, or lack of, to the appeal of America during the time it was "discovered" by Colombus. It criticizes many aspects of beurocracy and America's unfriendly culture, and it's just great and subtle at the same time. | |
| Crooked Fingers – Black Black Ocean Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I love this song. The guitar reminds me of the Velvet Underground, while the lyrical content reminds me, obviously, of Chumming the Oceans by the Loaf. | |
| Crooked Fingers – Wrecking Ball Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song is amazing. It's my favorite Crooked Fingers song, right next to Doctors of Deliverance. Not only are the guitar and piano riffs simple and catchy, but the guitar that comes in toward the end is a wonderful musical que back to Bachmann's Archers of Loaf days. The song, to me, is about living life on the defensive, stabbing friends in the back "so you stabbed a wounded arm And you drank the blood of a bleeding friend", and feeling rejected "Through a town you were never welcome in". The wrecking ball is symbolic of the overly played defense mechanism of lashing back out at those or that which seemingly offends you, for the satisfaction of revenge. "If it makes you feel good, you can make them feel bad It's an easy call". It's so true. It's too easy-- It's a natural, even primal response, but it demeans humans to beasts when they cannot control their "wrecking ball". The wrecking ball mentality can destroy one's emotions and capacity for compassion. "Now all your love's a grave and every year disappears." What a wonderful song. "Take a swing and watch them fall You're a wrecking ball." |

| Archers of Loaf – Wrong Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song is so powerful in depth, it's amazing. I love how the emotion changes from hatred directed toward the subject to hatred towards the self. Amazing. Hard rocking shit. | |

| Archers of Loaf – Chumming the Oceans Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This is a really beautiful song, painting a soundless yet intense picture of some sort of ocean/coastal scene. It definitely is a prime example of Eric Bachmann's poetic genius. I think it's just supposed to be some sort of story of a diver being eaten by sea creatures. Anyway, it was definitely a foreshadowing of the kind of sound Bachmann would later create with Crooked Fingers. | |

| The Beatles – Her Majesty Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| The Beatles shouldn't have had this song at the end. It just doesn't fit. They should have put "The End" at the end of Abby Road. It just embodies all The Beatles stand for, especially the last line "In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make". This is still a good, short song, but it doesn't seem to fit very well at the end of Abby Road. | |

| No, this song is definitely about drugs. "Friends" mean drugs here. I've heard this from multiple sources. | |
