| PJ Harvey – Hook Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
i think that the character, kathleen, was sweet talked by a man, thus, "hooked," like a fish. (perhaps she's insinuating that she's going to be ruined by the expireince, much like the fish will die for consumption.) i guess the usage of hook/hooked could show addiction. perhaps she's addicted to this man because he said so many sweet things. the sweet things he said, of course, are proven to be false, when it's pointed out that kathleen can't sing and isn't a queen. the man simply said things to sleep with her (nothing left but his stain). his stain could either be left physically on the sheets, or it could be an emotional or pyschological stain. he might stain her thinking or self esteem. love this song, love this woman. |

| PJ Harvey – Is This Desire? Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
the name joe(seph) is mentioned in the album in previous songs; those songs being, "the garden," and "perfect day, elise." dawn is also said in, "electric light," but it's ambiguous as to whether dawn is a girl or a time of day. perhaps those two are recurring themes that some how meet up at the end. i think that the sylvan imagery/natural setting is a metaphor. the characters desire each other in a primative way; the fact that they're building a fire, that they're in trees, walking on sunsets, barefoot, etc, helps to show the carnical nature of their desire for each other. dawn is nervous about her relations with joe (again, the romantic idea that women wish to civilize men and their feelings.). as lord pembroke said, dawn becomes nervous when they go to the forest. she's not as willing to embrace her carnal desire for joe, but she was willing enough to go to the forest in the first place. dawn tries to distract joe by building a fire with him. perhaps the building of a fire represents that she wants her feelings for joe to build up to the point where they're flaming with passion. her fire had been cooled once they arrived in the woods, meaning that she was passionate and willing until she was actually in the situation. she needs things to be heated up again before she goes all out. i assume that dawn is a virgin, because she's young and nervous about the concept of sex. joe, however, is already walking on the sunsets and feeling like a king. he tells her that he isn't scared. if we are to believe that this joe is the same joe as the one in, "the garden," and, "a perfect day, elise," we've seen that his heart has been kicked around before. in both songs, the character of joe has given all of himself to somebody that later turns him away. in, "the garden," he is offered gold and mountains for his companionship, only to find nothing in the end. in, "a perfect day, elise," he sleeps with a girl, but after the act, she turns her back to him and tells him to never return to her. this upsets him deeply. he lets himself into her room and prays for her love. joe seems to fall in love quickly, and he winds up playing the role of the jilted lover. in this song, we're finally shown his method of seduction and his need for physical pleasure to make him whole. both of them, however, are brought to the same questions of desire and it's significance. joe and dawn seem to wonder if the liason was worth the changes that would come as a result. joe wonders if all the suffering that he bears after he sleeps with another is worth the pleasure. perhaps it was bad sex, to put it bluntly, that makes them doubt the expirience. they expected pleasure, and may have been let down. or, perhaps they were looking for some sort of uplifting power in their union, and found nothing. either way, they're doubting themselves, the act itself, and each other. brilliant song. sorry about the length. |

| PJ Harvey – Me-Jane Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
well, there's abuse involved in the tarzan-jane relationship. she's bleeding, and he just doesn't stop hitting her, screaming at her, and beating his chest. like suitboy said, tarzan and jane are metaphors. the man is the stanley kowalski-esque brute, and the narrator is the receiver of the abuse. the split head part could have a double meaning; her head could be physically split open, or she could be losing her mind. she calls him by his first name, which shows that she's trying to calm him with civilization. i suppose that this idea goes with the gender-stereotype (found often in romantic lit.) that women try to hold back their men and civilize them. |

| PJ Harvey – Electric Light Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
it, not it's; her, not he. there. all better. |
|
| PJ Harvey – Electric Light Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| i love this song. it has such a creepy feel to it. it seems like it's about prostitution; electric light could be the light omitting from a streetlamp. she looks beautiful, but it's tears the narrator's heart out because he job is so dangerous/immoral/etc. dawn could either mean a woman named dawn, waiting outside, or the dawn itself, ready to reclaim the girl. sirens are alluring and cause harm, saying that, perhaps, the dawn brings an alluring danger? | |
| Asheru – Boondocks Theme Song Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| yeah, shenlong's totally right. because rap and hip hop is all male too. i mean, it's not like there are female rappers like peaches rap about sex. NO. all rap is about sex with WOMEN and drugs. oh, and jesus freak? that's ALL about sex and women. damn, that christian rap sure is vulger... | |
| The Dresden Dolls – Bad Habit Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
shotgunn, i bite, pick at, and occasionally scrape at [with pens, darts, etc] the skin around my nails. i've been doing this for as long as i can remember, and yes, i have scars that i wind up reopening, and they're quite ugly...so it's plausable. amanda said herself that it was inspired by this same habit. oh, and i always used vaseline differently...i smeared it on the flesh to soften it and make it easier to pull away. gross, i know. |

| Tectonic Fusion – Inferiority Complex Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i'm a girl, silly! and yes, i wrote it about a boy...it's not like...literal death, but...it's more like...he would lie to make me feel better, and it just made everything a whole lot worse... there's dialouge in the song, of course, but that should be easy to figure out... | |

| Kings of Leon – Taper Jean Girl Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| tapered jeans are a hideous cut of jeans. it was thought to have a slimming effect, when the opposite is true. that pant is tight around the ankle and gets wider at the top...sound like a train wreck? i think so...it's not exactly the look everyone wants. with the wider waist-area contrasting with the tight ankle, it makes the wearer look heavier than they really are; giving the illusion of a bigger butt (and not in the jlo way, mind you). | |

| Heavens To Betsy – Donating My Body To Science Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
well, i think it's about a bad relationship, of course, where she was treated like a science expiriment rather than a human being. it seems that, to her partner, everything she felt and did had some scientific explanation behind it and that the whole relationship lacked mystery or romance. this was like..."my song" for getting out of a mechanical relationship. i adore this band. |

| Matisyahu – King Without A Crown Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
it's funny how hypocritical some of you are. if this music was ANTI god, you probably wouldn't like it. i'm sure that some of you would say that marilyn manson was "satanic" and "demonic" because of his crazy stunts and "outrageous" lyrics, and wouldn't listen to it/give him a chance as a result. and i'd like to add that i'm aware that the things he does that set him apart are traditional jewish things. at the same time, i think that he uses them so he can sell more records. what's more controversial than jewish reggae? who would've DREAMED it, right? i do indeed think it's a bit gimmicky. personally, i'm not a fan of it, but i can see why one would listen to and enjoy it. yet, the fact that he "embraces his religion" in such a fashion is as gimmicky as marilyn manson ripping up a bible and becoming a satanic priest. |

| Bikini Kill – Alien She Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| about kurt and kathleen: i've read that kathleen and kurt hated each other. courtney and kathleen were like...arch enimies...ex: according to courtney love, kathleen hanna asked her if her baby was in a closet and on heroin, or something to that effect. kurt dated one of the members of bikini kill (i think it was tobi, but don't shoot me if i'm wrong) and when they broke up, kathleen hanna spray painted, "kurt smells like teen spirit," because that's the kind of deodorant kurt's ex used. | |

| Outlandish – Aicha Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Calm Like a Bomb, you are a dumbass. That's an urban legend, and yes, I've heard that urban legend before. There are different forms of this urban legend. One is that the boy was bullied so badly that he killed himself. Example of the first type: "I hope you all know that "Gellie man" has in fact commited suicide as the result of ppl like you. He actually lives in toronto and after having enough of being torutured, bullied, and physically abused he jumped off a bridge ending his very sad life. Would any of you want your last days on the earth to be like this... think of other people for once." And then there's the classic rumor that the version that we all know and love has another part. According to this legend, the boy kills himself during the video. Example of the second type: "Ya it is at the end of the video, it is hard to get the unedited one, most of them stop after he is dancing. In the full version after he dances, he gets a knife out from under his minnie mouse comforter and slits his throat. He bleeds out all over his adidas sweatshirt and falls on the floor. The camera keeps taping for another 5 minutes until the tape runs out. I think you can get the full version on www.rotten.com Ya it is sad." What a bunch of shit. I've done some serious searching, and I haven't found any proof of this video. I started at Rotten.com, and no, I could not find it. What a surprise. You ought to know better than to trust silly internet rumors. Do you also believe that Coca Cola was once green? And that a Japanese man is making Bonsai kittens? And that there's a girl named Penny Brown's missing? And that if you don't forward a chain letter to 20 people in the next 5 minutes that you'll wake up with a monster sitting on your chest, with it's long, thin, furry fingers wrapped around your throat? Think again before saying stuff like that. |

personally, i like the offspring...they're not a favorite of mine, but i like it. and i would never ever ever call it punk. it's pretty fucking poppy, i'm going to have to agree with anti-punk on that one. then again, i don't think that pop in general is TOO terrible. it's not my favorite (god no), but *shrugs* this music is just silly, fun, light hearted and somewhat disposable, like any other pop song. |

"Is this a refrence to Bowie's left eye? I heard someone punched it and that's why it's weird."
