| Fiction Plane – If Only Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I really like how you cleared that up, couldBanyone. I really loved how well Fiction Plane touched the core of Holes, the novel, and really got its themes in order. No way could another song grasp the story so well. |

| Fiction Plane – Hate Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Ah, a song for the misanthrope in all of us. I think the overall message here is that the world can be a miserable place, with close-minded people ... and the song just expresses the frustration of seeing that. But I've always been confused by the chorus. |

| The Strokes – On The Other Side Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
My verdict: Julian is a misanthrope. Must admit, didn't like the lyrics to this at first, nor the tune in general but.... Eventually, it all clears away, and you really appreciate the honesty and simplicity, like someone else said. It's seems so apathetic, tongue-in-cheek, and that's where the charm is. |

| The White Stripes – Black Math Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Jack: "I was thinking about a time in high school when I turned my books in to the maths teacher and said, I refuse to learn from you anymore. The songs about asking questions. A lot of people are taught just to regurgitate information." I really like this song, especially after studying for a math test in which I'll be surprised if I pass. "Undeniably earning your wage" That line... wow, man, what a good attack for a math teacher! |

I heard a variation of that guitarwolf. I heard that it was a friend of theirs who had one of their loved ones pass away and wanted to write a song about it. I think everybody can relate to this song at some point in their life. "When you see the light Does your pain just disappear? Will I ever feel your love? Once again my dear" Don't say that that doesn't hit you! |

| "The walls get smaller" This song is a metaphor for nearly anything you want, I swear. | |
| The Music – The Dance Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Glad to not be one of those people! "Take me from a man betrayed Take me to where the angels play" ... such a beautiful line! My interpretation of this song was about someone depressed about life "longing for love/I'm fed up of loss" and then taking their life, and going up to Heaven "high, high, higher." It gives me that impression especially with that angel bit. |

| The White Stripes – Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I love this song! I really like how Jack White cleverly alluded Son House's Death Letter in this. "I didn't feel so bad 'til the good old sun went down/I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around" Took the words right from Son House's mouth and made it his own, and beautifully done! My favourite line in this song. |

| The White Stripes – Death Letter Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I just came to the realization that in the original Son House version, there's the line "I didn't feel so bad 'til the good old sun went down I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around" Jack White stuck it right in Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground instead! This might have been obvious to everyone, but not to me. |

| The Music – Bleed From Within Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Must say that the recorded cut doesn't even compare to the live Bleed From Within! As for meaning, it's just about the state of the world, with all the war, etc and feeling overwhelmed by it. I think it's really clearly put. |

| The White Stripes – Passive Manipulation Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
i love the white stripes but this song SUCKS! meg just sucks at singing plus this is a stupid song. the song dosent mean shit its just a stupid song thats just meg trying to be in the limlight plus the song just repeats itself, but ill tell ya what though meg is real good lookin and her drum playin complements jacks guitar, i thikn she should just stick with drums and quit singing especially since the words in the songs she does suck ------------------------------------------------------------ Fair enough, but in Meg's defense I have to say that Jack wrote the song for her, like with In the Cold, Cold Night. Read in an interview that he was singing it at first, then decided it sounded better coming from Meg. She's not trying to get attention or anything. Jack obviously just thought she was good enough. |

| The Music – Welcome to the North Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I took it as an anthem, showing pride of Northern England, because that's where the band is from. In interviews they go on saying how much they miss their home while touring, but wanting to get out after. "Show me the knuckles" basically means they're willing to put up a fight to people who don't like this pride. In the end though, they wanna be home in the North. |

| Fiction Plane – Everything will Never be OK Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I think it's just explaining how it does no good to strive for perfection, because it can't really be attained... wow I am so deep. | |
