my favorite part of this song is when he says the part about his teen angst having a bodycount, becauser that comes straight from winona ryders mouth in the movie heathers, which is badass and probably the only movie that makes christian slater look almost cool. yeah totally fucking awesome song his voice tears me apart. |

| The Get Up Kids – Ten Minutes Lyrics

i love this song because its like a battle between optimism and pessimism 'a pointless fight when you're always right and
everything will work out...it works out.' its like he wants to believe that everyhting will be okay but he knows in his heart that its doomed. this song is incredibly badass and my favorite off of something to write home about |

| Sunny Day Real Estate – 8 Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
for me, this song is about lack of unity --- "When lines divide I walk away, Blazing sun sets on my back". it seems as tho he condemns those who are easily influenced by others --- "Fingers stain my gold" meaning that being an individual is golden and giving a shit about others will inevitably taint that. actually i have no idea but hey who gives a shit |

what gets to me is that i really really want to like this album...after the fiasco of the green album and then the similarly crappy maladroit, im ready to witness more of rivers talent. seriously, the blue album is solid - 10 songs that are all different styles but complement each other and then pinkerton which was kind of disconcertingly fragile and awesome and then this new stuff that i just cant quite bring myself to like even tho i feel like i need to. i know rivers is a strangely tortured soul, but i mean please this is kiddie stuff... oh how i long for the days of surf wax america.... |

| The Police – Message In A Bottle Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|

i think hes talking about a person who is extremely introverted and who has rejected all external influence, then realizes that hes lonely and hes built a wall around himself. it reminds me of the beatles lyric from 'help' - "When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed anybody's help in any way, But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured, Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors" its like he had shut everyone out and was realizing that it didnt make him happy, and then he sends out a bottle, or a cry for help, and he realizes that there are millions of others like him that need love. i dig this song.... |

when it comes to evoking personal emotion and making it universally understood, dylan's number one. he takes things that might seem trivial to some, and makes them into symbolic and beautiful images...this song makes me want to laugh and cry all at once. |

| Neil Young – Rockin' in the Free World Lyrics

my favorite line of this song is 'we got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand' ... i think it represents the global perception of america - we're the 'peacekeepers' of the world and yet we force other countries to do our bidding. we want people to see us as humanitarians, but the way we go about 'helping' can be crude and violent. i love this song. |

| Cat Stevens – Wild World Lyrics
| 21 years ago

maybe hes talking from the perspective of a boyfriend - "I've lost everything to you" could equal his virginity, and then she gets restless eventually and wants to "start something new".
hes sad and he thinks about what theyve meant to each other and says hell " always remember you like a child, girl", referring to their young love and her naivete about the world -
"It's hard to get by just upon a smile". he's not trying to scare her, he loves her so hes trying to warn her about the ways of the world. i love this song... |

this song is fucking fantastic/hilarious/disturbing! paul mccartney sucks (even tho i am a dedicated fan of the beatles) and MJs in trouble with the law the the alleged molestation shit but still they said 'hey..lets put our differences aside and make a creepy song where we obsess over a girl like shes our property!' to which MJ added -'jk i only like little boys' but hey i dig the song |

| The Apples in Stereo – Benefits of Lying (With Your Friend) Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
in a sense, this is a sad song "sometimes when i'm by myself / i can't find myself / and theres no one there" but then he introduces a temporary fix - friends with benefits! he feels better when hes not left alone to deal with himself.
"sometimes i can see myself / i can be myself with a friend "
not my favorite song but its good nonetheless.. |

| Pavement – Shady Lane Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
|
so summerbabe covered the story but what about 'shady lane'.....i think that each persons shady lane is different, a place for people to find solace and seek comfort from the pressures of the world. i think it also corresponds to the part about god - 'Oh my God, oh your God, oh his God, oh her God', acknowledging that religion and faith can offer refuge to people....i know thats sappy b/c i myself am extremely without religion but i think that this whole song is not about a bum dating a lady (why would she date him if she was a bum, she could deduce that he had no $$$) but a statement about society. one of pavements best. |

| Neutral Milk Hotel – The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1 Lyrics

i think its about true love and first sexual encounters
"And this is the room
One afternoon I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go "
its about a way to find solace, just as shockdelica said. the first nmh song i ever heard, probably my fave aside from in an aeroplane over the sea. |

this song is so good...actually theres a remix thats a lot better than the original but its got a good vibe. i think its a pretty feminist song because it acknowledges that she turns into a fetus whenever she succumbs to a man and how she doesnt want to feel so small in his presence. fuckin right. |
