| Clutch – Profits of Doom Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
'Profits,' as used in this song has a double meaning. One being the Prophets who wrote the bible, the other is a refrence to how christianity has become commercialized. My favorite lines in the song are "Genesis and Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers, Gideon is knocking in your hotel while you slumber." I think its a refrence to how Christians are infltrating our lives, often without our desire or consent. Also in the song is the refrence to slavery. Certain biblical passages were used by slaveowners to justify their actions. I think that the 'voodoo' the white man is saving is the willingness to exploit religious beliefs for economic gain. |

The sampled music that begins after the telephone reminds me a LOT of the music in the game Chrono Trigger. But yeah--if you want the real meanings of the songs, cobaltandcalcium.com is the best place to go. |

Actually Scorpionsting15, can't degree 106 mean El Paso? Its on the border and also lies on degree W106. I think Rocha is trying to say in the lines "Like cattle shell cross Degree 106" that like a bunch of other immigrants, she'll go through el paso. |

| Interpol – Evil Lyrics | 20 years ago |

i suppose its entirely possible, but still.... people will always take away their own interpretations of lyrics and thats a cool thing--take STP's Plush as an example. no matter what the band wrote the song about it could convey a wide range of emotions and situations--so your theory would have large merit if that was the way the video was made. my only point is that to actually judge the meaning of the song based on the video was a poor interpretation to take. make up your own mind you know? what does the song really mean. does it have anything to do with vhat the video conveys to you? For the record, I have never seen the video. i dont watch music videos anymore because they over-commercialize music, which is blasphemy IMO. |

RAWR____x, youre killing me. A director doesnt approach the band with an idea. When the band decides to make a video (or thier manager, rather) THEY approach a director--maybe one whose style they appreciate, or whoever will do the video cheapest, or whom theyve worked with before--whatever. Then as a collaborative effort they make the video. This song IS about masturbation, theyve stated it before, but obviously they couldn't put a video of Interpol jacking off on TV. The resulting product was the video obviously with the wole car crash thing. Anyways--anyone who looks to MTV to provide them with any information related to music is severely mislead. MTV hasn't been about the music for over a decade. Just do me a favor please. Think of every video youve seen and ask yourself how many of those videos had anything to do with depicting the meaning of the song. thats not the point and never was. |

| I love this song because it is a general 'Fuck you' to all aspects of society such as religion, government, and culture. | |
| Disturbed – Liberate Lyrics | 21 years ago |

I think that Drache and eeyore have it. He's talking to the close-minded Christians and Jews who claim exclusitivity to God, that they are the only ones who are right. He is talking to those who claim that exclusitivity, saying to "Liberate your mind, you motherfucker, you’re so narrow minded" Both of those religions are waiting for a messiah. Jews for the first one, and christians for the second one. |
