| Portugal. The Man – Sleeping Sleepers Sleep Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| "I was up walking and you were the shoes/bored with the thoughts that you thought I could use/islands were made of brick stone and shade/where deaths only rest of laughable tunes" - I think this part uses walking like before "and i'll walk till my legs are broken" to mean continuing on regardless of the fear to make sure the "mind still grows". If you are using someone else as the shoes while walking, it could either be talking about how there are other people around us to make it easier, but we get bored with the personal thoughts other people say because they feel we can use them somehow in our 'walk'. At this point, when you get bored, 'islands are made of brick stone and shade' or houses as we isolate ourselves inside. And if the phrase 'deaths ONLY rest' (showing an acceptance of mortality by calling death ONLY rest and therefore not really that important) would be considered one 'of laughable tunes', then it shows holding a personal fear of death, probably while we are isolated on our islands not experiencing anything. | |

| A Perfect Circle – Passive Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
this song has nothing to do with some ex-girlfriend or a girl being pregnant or someone dying. this song, as some have said, is about those of us who are passive-agressive. this meaning someone who will follow rules given to him and seemingly obey being passive but at the same thing doing everything possible to not openly rebel. some people consider it completely fake seeing that you are acting differently than you feel. its just the way those of us who aren't openly agressive people fight what they don't like. If you listen to the lyrics of the song keeping this in mind it becomes pretty obvious. " 'Dead as dead can be' the doctor tells me" means that everyone sees this person as someone who is quiet and doesn't pose a threat (dead) "but i just can't believe him (n)ever the optimistic one, i'm sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy" i can't decide whether or not meynard says never or ever. meynard doesn't give into the passive-agressive deciet that everyone else does... he sees the person's true motives behind his seemingly passive agreement with everyone else... so meynard's ready for this person to try and use his hidden means to get his way and the persons true views placing him as meynards enemy chorus: someone who is passive agressive would back down from confrontation when his true views are attacked (don't play dead). he needs to "wake up" from his passive "sleep". meynard gives this person a threat that if he doesn't change and become real he will walk away from his attempts to please everyone while getting his way at the same time the second verse just basically describes how meynard sees what this person "could and might have been" if he had openly taken his true beliefs instead of being "cold and catatonic" (catatonic is associated with schitzophrenia) but says that it is the person's choice to do that The rest of the song is the same untill you get to the end where he says "passive agressive bullshit" which is pretty self explanitory that meynard things this person's passive-agressive attitude is bullshit |
