| A Silver Mt. Zion – American Motor Over Smoldered Field Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| He says it a thousand times, maybe he says both sky and ice at some point. However, if he did say something that sounded like "ice," it must have been "eyes." | |
| Fleet Foxes – White Winter Hymnal Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
It's a simple fairy tale. The pack are children bundled up in clothes and who have scarves that keep their heads tied to their necks, like a knot. Think of that one Edgar Allan Poe story of the girl in the French revolution. The singer has to keep watch over them so that they don't lose their heads. He gets distracted and Michael falls, losing his scarf, and his head falls off. It's a fantasy fairy tale. It's that simple. |

| Arcade Fire – Intervention Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I have a story in my mind with this song: The narrator is the middle member of a family. His family is going through rough times, and his eldest brother is a religious fanatic. He is supposed to be supporting the family, but instead he is out fighting for the Holy Church. His family is starving and his life is falling apart, but the brother only turns to his church. The narrator is scolding his brother for neglecting his family in these times and condemning him. | |
| Do Make Say Think – In Mind Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The meaning of this song seemed to me to connect well with A With Living. The latter was, to me, about being in tune with the universe and everything, basically about inner peace and happiness. This song, to me, is about realisation that you are not eternal, that you will die someday and that when you do, all the things and people you loved will be gone. Realising that things are not eternal, that they will one day end, will make you love them and appreciate them more, thus finding a "love as big as the sky." This song is basically about enjoying and loving life because it will someday end. |

| Frou Frou – Close Up Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I see this as someone who's falling in love with someone she didn't want to fall in love with, and she can't believe it. It could even be like those romantic comedies where initially she can't stand the guy, but somehow she's so inexplicably attracted to him. How can he be so sure they love each other? It can't be that easy, she hates him. But she loves him. She has to keep calm, and she has to realise why she feels so jealous when she sees him with other women. |

| Blind Guardian – And Then There Was Silence Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
It's about the Trojan war. The hints are spilled everywhere. They talk of the coin under your tongue (Burial ceremonies), Cassandra (Paris's sister), the ferryman, and they literally say Illiad and Troy several times. Anyone who's read the book will recognise the lyrics. ANATO has nothing to do with LOTR, like BlindWish said. In fact, they mention Cassandra in Under the Ice as well. |

| System of a Down – Prison Song Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
If anyone needs an explanation for this, he/she also needs a slap. They're talking about the brutal punishments given on people for drug offences, even the slightest. "All research and successful drug policy shows that treatment should be increased, and law enforcement decreased while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences. An obvious protest to the prison system, k. |

| I imagine the forest itself wailing over the forests being destroyed. Nature gave us our weapons, and just look at us now, we use them against her. | |

| System of a Down – Chop Suey! Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"Their first big hit was the controversial "Chop Suey!", released in the late summer of 2001. The title comes from a poem of Father Armeni, who wrote about Armenia after the genocide of 1915. He asked God why have you forsaken me in your eyes. Father Armeni also said that in Armenia a self righteous suicide has taken place." -An excerpt from Wikipedia's page on System of a Down. I believe that may be it. (If it's been mentioned already, I apologise) |
