| Foxy Shazam! – The Red Cape Diver Lyrics | 16 years ago |

"Fire Torpedoes" is a metaphor for the bull taking off at full speed. The gates open and the bull takes full charge, in a similar sense to the way one would fire off a Torpedo |

Uhhhhh... really? You're coming down on a singer for doing what it is a SINGER DOES? Singers improv over music. That's the idea. They write lyrics, and improv them over the music. Seriously man, if you don't like the guy, just leave it at that. The reality of it is: The rest of us don't care about your opinion on him. That's not me being a complete dick or anything, but that's me pointing out that you have your opinion, and we have ours, and that's not about to change. If you don't like him, than you don't like him. And that's really best left to yourself. Because by going out of your way and saying all this crap, your really only changing people's opinions about you. |

| Bring Me the Horizon – Chelsea Smile Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Actually, he Olli had a recent interview in the latest issue of AP, and the spoke about the meaning of this song. The line of questioning went as so: So, is "Chelsea Smile" about something you did? I won't say exactly, but yes. Was it something you did to someone else? No. Was is embarrassing? No. Was it a big mistake? Yes. Was it an overdose? No. Was it something illegal? Maybe; not really. Would the consequences of the event spell the end of the band? Definitely. Was it a confirmed diagnosis of throat cancer? [Pause.] I've heard that story kicking about. I know how that rumor started; people don't like my new vocal range, and someone said it's because I damaged my throat and I have throat cancer. One of the band [members] told me about it after they read it online. You lost your voice in the studio, you lost your voice on earlier dates of this tour and the lyrics to that song reference that area of the body and disease. Can you see how the story emerged? I get soar throats and shit-everyone does-it only matters when you are the vocalist for your band. It's not regular, it's a random thing. It could happen twice in a short amount of time, or not for months. When we started our first American tour, I smoked weed every day. We did not have a day off for three months straight, and I did not lose my voice at all. If you DID have cancer, would you actually talk about it or would you lie in situations like this? [Pause.] I really don't know. |

| Jimmy Eat World – Carry You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Well, of course I always think about the fact that things might go sour if we tried. But I'd rather take a chance and be hurt, than be hurt because I didn't take a chance. And that's now what happened. I took the chance, and she wouldn't. And now we're both left broken by it, and it just drives me crazy that it happened the way it did |
|
| Jimmy Eat World – Carry You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
When I hear this song, I think about a situation that I'm in right now There's this girl in my life who I've been spending a lot of time with and I'm absolutely crazy about. I can't get her off of my mind, and I've been falling pretty hard for her. We finally got to talking the other night and the topic of how we felt and where things were heading came up. I came clean and told her I wish things were more than they are right now. She told me she didn't think she could be the person I'd want her to be. And all I want right now is to tell her to just take a chance and see where it goes, but most of all, I want to tell her that I'm not crazy about because of who I think she CAN be. I'm falling for her because of who she is. It's probably not what this song is really about, but it's how I feel everytime I hear it. |

I've got to say after reading all this: Zach... You are such a fucking douchebag. Sorry man, but that's just how I feel. And most of it comes from you pulling your whole "fuck all your stupid drama though kids, start your own band and do something or just stop talking because you dudes have no clue about anything at all" bullshit. That's really fucked up. Apparently these kids need to be in a band so they can deal with all the struggle and drama you've suffered, so they can understand how hard you've really had it. They'll understand how hard it is to continuing working for more that 2 weeks with someone you don't like, and people you KNOW are going to lose faith in your band and leave over time. Fuck that. Don't bitch and whine and come down on these kids because you stuck around with a bunch of people who were a horrible fit for you, and they think you're being a dick for the way you're dealing with it now. It was your choice. Besides, a lot of these kids on here HAVE bands, but haven't quite yet been lucky enough to have that refreshing, groundbreaking, original sound that you guys used to have |

| Emarosa – Set it off Like Napalm Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I actually think it's a form of taking creativity to the next level. Taking something that already exsist and applying it in a new setting. I once collaborated with a big forums group and we wrote a new song, line by line, using other lines from other songs, and it turned out a lot better than people expected. I mean, yeah you can't give him credit for the line or the way he sings it, but credit CAN be given for the way he turned it the way he did. It's just a different creative process. This is all in my opinion, of course |

| Scary Kids Scaring Kids – Degenerates Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This may just be me, but I think we might almost have a concept album on our hands. Almost every song has the theme of rebellion, there's the video for faces which has sort of a 1984/Brazil look to it, and there's also the intro to the album. I think the album tells a sort of 1984-ish story. There may easily be influece from what's going on in the politcal world today, but that's just my general take on it. |

28 Days Later anybody? It all makes sense to me. "A virus known as Rage is brutally destroying and spreading all over the place" "You'll be lucky if you make it out alive" But that's just me But... I have to say that most of the people in here have no idea of what they're talking about when discussing this band. B12... "Vampire Horror-Emo Band"? They're a Post-Hardcore band. And then people talking about "I'm not telling anybody about this band! I don't want them getting big!"... what... the... f*ck?! Do people not know how much control a band has over how far they go? Yeah, the entire world may listen to them, but as far as being on MTV goes and playing giant coliseums and crap... firstly, the band gets to chose what kind of venues they play. Secondly, in order for stations like MTV to play their videos and such, they need to have the bands permission, and if the bands says "No, we don't want to be on MTV", than that's it! End of story! Nothing more to it! Leave them alone, and let them do what they want to do. It's not you're decision to make. |

| Three – Amaze Disgrace Lyrics | 18 years ago |

"The whole album rocks and reminds me of Coheed somehow." There's an explination for that! Joey Eppard (the singer and guitarist) is the brother of Josh Eppard (the old drummer) of Coheed and Cambria. Josh actually used to drum for 3 when they were... a... three piece band. There is no doubt in my mind that the style similarities are connects that way. |

| He Is Legend – China White Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Damnit... now I have to change my stance again. According to the information provided about He Is Legend on Wikipedia, all of their songs are stories based off of various Folk Tales. So now I'm back to believing that it isn't just ONE story, but a number of them. Some of the songs on Suck Out The Poison! are just simple continuations of the stories they started to tell on I Am Hollywood. China White II is obviously connected to China White, and Dixie Wolf (The Seduction Of...) is obviously connected to The Seduction, though the four of them are not ALL tied together. The China White's and The Seduction's are seperate stories. |
|
| He Is Legend – China White Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
AStrain3750, you do, in fact, make a number of good points, and I give you much credit for them. And even if the two aren't telling a story, than the lyrical connections between the albums just means that they are AMAZING song writers, though we all already know that they are. |

| The Blood Brothers – Set Fire to the Face on Fire Lyrics | 18 years ago |

1-Armed, he was kissing their asses by doing the whole "whatever they say goes" thing. He said that because they hate being labled, I shouldn't try to state what genre I think they are. That is not thinking for yourself. That is the same thing as going "Yes master. May I have another?" And you actually have a point as to what the song may be about. It was never my intention to just come in here and go "omgz, guyz! tHe bLoOd bRoThErS r sooooo emo!" I was simply stating a contradiction to somebody saying that the song was about emo music, considering that on many levels (though it does not totally make them an emo band) their style of music fits the REAL sound of REAL emo, and then everybody started flipping out on my afterwards for it. |

| He Is Legend – China White Lyrics | 19 years ago |

No it's not. So many people thought that and when they were finally asked, they said that it WAS NOT a concept album. I originally thought it was too, but... I guess not. Now, I do have a personal theory that while it isn't a concept album (ie one big story), I think that the album may actually be a series of short stories (hence, on I Am Hollywood, the whole "Act I/Act II/Act III" stuff). |
|
| He Is Legend – I Am Hollywood Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I might be wrong, and I can't check it right now since my CD case is at home, but... I almost want to say that the insert says that the first line is "Had this girl". But again, I could be totally wrong. |
|
| Monty Are I – Just In Time Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I kind of want to say that it's about two people being together, and then he had to move off elsewhere, so they tried to hold a long distance relationship. That, more then likely, caused tons of emotional stress, and I think the whole concept of "I just made up my mind just in time for you to leave me" might signify that he finally decided to come home, but right before he did, she left him. Right or wrong, it's still an amazing song beyond all beliefe. |

| The guys in the band have told people that the main meaning of this song is a guy who cheats on his girlfriend when on tour. The whole concept of "I have tasted grapes" is basically just stating "I've been with someone else" | |
| The Blood Brothers – Set Fire to the Face on Fire Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| As I stated: Hardcore band with more to sing about then politics. It's not something to be afraid of. The idea of what Emo is is so damn warped today. Emo is not little boys with acoustic guitars singing about ex-girlfriends. It's a more emotional form of hardcore music. It started when all hardcore was about politics, and then Emo came out as being hardcore that wasn't about politics. Sounds about right to me in this case. | |
| Escape the Fate – My Apocalypse Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think it's simple, actually. I think it's basically just him telling a story. Just a fictional semi-horror story of a ghost-like figure. | |
| The Blood Brothers – Set Fire to the Face on Fire Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I would agree, were it not for the fact that the Blood Brothers are pretty much an Emo band. A hardcore band with more to sing about then politics. So that would pretty much do it. | |
| He Is Legend – The Seduction Lyrics | 19 years ago |

| Boys Night Out – Composing Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Completely agree with wishfulthinking167 on all of it. But there is one part about this specific song that I don't think has been mentioned. I think he has sex with one of the corpses. "I hear her laughter and she's still alive (It's like she's still alive) It's her body I'm holding as we make love" Well, first off, I think the line is "It's in THE body I'm holding" but I still could be wrong. But... is it just me, or is that a more polite way of saying that he did the nasty with a dead person cause he saw his wife's face on the body. |

| Billy Talent – This Is How It Goes Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
From billytalent.com: As a lot of you may know the first song on our first record is called “This Is How It Goes”. This is a song about one of Ben’s friends that has multiple sclerosis. Today I would like to let you know that I am that friend with MS. I want to start with saying that this changes nothing about my band or me. I’m actually stronger both mentally and physically than I’ve ever been in my life. Right now you’re probably thinking, “What is MS?” To sum it up in a short paragraph it’s a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness in the limbs to paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted. It generally strikes people between the ages of 20 to 50 but over the past 5 years its been hitting a much younger age. Children as young as three years old are being diagnosed. This is my main reason for telling my story. It was November of 1997 and I had just started a new job at DaimlerChrysler building the new Intrepid, Concorde and 300M. I was making more money then my job at the Toronto Auto Auction and I could take off more time to play shows with my band Pezz. Days after starting my new job I got a strange numbness in my legs. I couldn’t walk for more than five minutes without having to sit down because of this pain in my legs. I honestly thought it was just because this job was a lot more physically demanding then my last job. After telling my family and close friends about it I went for some tests. “It’s probably a pinched nerve”, or “You probably pulled something at your new job” were some of the responses I would get. After months of tests I was told that I had probable MS. This meant I probably had MS but a full diagnosis couldn’t be made until I had another symptom within two years. In November of 1998 the numbness in my legs was gone but I could make it come back by bending my neck forward. This would also send a feeling of an electrical shock to my feet. Just a couple months later in January of 1999 I suddenly got an awful pain in my left eye. It was like being punched in the eye by a ghost and the ghost had done some serious damage. I instantly started to squint my eye shut and went straight to my eye doctor. He told me I had Optic Neuritis. When I told this to my neurologist I found out that it’s very common for people with MS and the disease was progressing. He wanted me to start a new type of medicine. I had to self inject myself three times a week in the arm, thigh, stomach or butt. “How long do I have to do this for?” was my first question? “If it works for you, indefinitely.” He said. “Does indefinitely mean forever?” I asked with a worried look on my face. “Yes” he said with a smile that said sorry. “You said if it works for you, does that mean it might not work?” I said. “We don’t know that yet”. I practically ran out of the doctor’s office and into the stairwell with my girlfriend close behind me. We cried in the stairwell for a while and then went right over to my parent’s house. I’d just like to say that through all of this madness I was so lucky to have my girlfriend who is now my wife and the mother of our amazing daughter beside me through it all. The next day we both went over to Ian’s because I had band practice and I told Jon, Ben and Ian what was happening. I needed some time off from the band to deal with what was going on. Coming to terms with the fact that I had to start giving myself needles forever was really hard. A couple of the side effects really hit me once I started the medication. I fell into a deep depression and started seeing a psychiatrist. I really felt like my life was falling apart. I had always wanted to be a drummer in a rock band but was told I should “take it easy”. I remember saying “ya right” in my head. None of my dreams had come true and I now had an incurable disease. It was really rough for the first year and a half but the new medicine I was taking really started to work. The MS Society of Canada really helped me get all the information and tools to get my life back on track. My symptoms were gone and when they did come back they were just minor set backs. Going to work, going to rehearsal, playing shows with the band and going to countless doctors appointments was my reality. We changed the name of the band from Pezz to Billy Talent and continued writing music. We released a four song EP and got a record deal. Unbelievable. None of us really knew what to expect in the coming months. I quit my job and started playing drums full time. After recording our first record it was time to go on tour. My medicine needed to be refrigerated and I was about to spend a big chunk of my life driving around in a van with six grown men. I can’t believe I never had to explain why I had a mini fridge filled with needles to the authorities. We spent about 12 months driving all over North America and Europe staying in crappy motels. We would take turns sleeping on the floor of the van while the others drove to the next town. It was amazing. Our first record took us across Canada five times, America four times, Germany five times, the UK four times and a weekend in Japan. I’ve also met a lot of my musical heroes and even become friends with a couple of them. Crazy. I guess the reason I’m telling you this is because I didn’t let something like MS get in the way of me becoming who I was suppose to become. I suppose the reason I kept it a secret for so long is because I thought it could get in the way or even help me achieve some of my goals out of pity. That’s the last thing I wanted. Please share this story with anyone you think it would help. There are a lot of people young and old that are fighting some sort of disease and thinking that they can’t win. You really can win if you believe in yourself. Aaron |

| Armor for Sleep – Awkward Last Words Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
People, What To Do When You're Dead is a concept album. They're telling a story. deathbycrayon, your idea is a fair one, except you don't seem to know about it being a concept album. In Car Underwater, the character kills himself by driving into a lake or something. In The Truth About Heaven, he comes back down to earth and tells his girlfriend that it suck cause she isn't there. In Remember to feel real... I really don't know. It might be him overhearing some stuff his "friends" said after his death and getting pissed off about it. This song is about his regrets for what he did, because even in death, he still loves his girlfriend. And this is him saying that he wants to be reborn and I guess he's trying to say that he's going to find some way of doing it. |

| Coheed and Cambria – Welcome Home Lyrics | 20 years ago |

*agrees with wetzilla* I think it's obvious that the meaning of this song has to do with nothing more than Newo and Claudio. And I think Newo did something that really pissed Claudio off, and he's kind of telling her to fuck off. |

Thank you so much. I've seen three different lyric pages of this song, and this one is the most accurate one. Only thing: I think it's supposed to be "You stormed off to start the Armada, like Jesus plagued (insert word nobody can figure out here)". Just what it sound like to me, when I listen to it over and over again. One way of another, kick ass job my man. |

"I need Mayo" As I said before, two people talking in the chorus. "I need Mayo" (Somebody, please fetch me Mayo). "I won't fail you know" (Right away sir! You can count on me!) "Dear captain send the SOS when we're gonna go down" (Mayo, sir! The ships going down! Send out an SOS and get help). Anyways, that's what it is, in essence. |

| From First to Last – Failure By Designer Jeans Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I think it's about people who lack self-esteem because of what they are like emotionally, and try to compensate for it by the way they look. Because the whole song is talks about people who are unhappy with what they are really like (I think the first verse is from a girl's point of veiw and the second one if from a guy's), but then comes lines like "Don't you think that I'm amazing? Please tell me that I'm worth dating." and "Mirror, Mirror, how amazing is my figure", so it feels like they're trying to make up for who they are by glamorizing themselves. | |
| Coheed and Cambria – Hearshot Kid Disaster Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
*buries face in hands* Look, the line is "I need Mayo, I won't fail you now" It is two different people speaking during the chorus. And no, it is not a sandwich reference. He is not asking for Mayonaise. It is making reference to the character known as "Mayo Defintinwolf" (read the first comic, it introduces him). He is a captain, as noted in the comic. He = Bad man trying to destroy the keywork, but he gets screwed over in this song, due to his ship going down. There! |
