Rasputina – Gingerbread Coffin Lyrics 20 years ago
Yea. Sad, though, that adults so easily find things 'disturbing'. Aside from that, lovely song.

The Killers – Mr. Brightside Lyrics 20 years ago
Eh... I have to be one of the only females who /hates/ this song... It's a combination of all the times it's played on the radio, the fact of how many females like it-it seems to just to like it and for no other reason- and the fact it soudns so damn...whiny. =twitches= So whiny. He should be.... hit.

Marilyn Manson – The Nobodies Lyrics 20 years ago
Kellio said: the "some children died the other day..." line is referring to the way the media handled the columbine incident. america fed the corporate machine then they prayed for the victims, he saying that its all wrong. they shouldnt have faith in the american government. "you should have seen the ratings that day" - showing that america has the wrong approach to tragedies like this. they just plaster it all over TV in order to get the ratings, they dont actually care about the victims, they just want the gory details.

I have to agree with that…thank god someone’s finally gotten that.

How can you say something like that didn’t affect you or is dumb? Clearly those guys who shot up the school had some problems—well, even more than just some—and I can’t see how you can say their ultimate self-destruction (along with the destruction of others) is dumb. True, the media was dumb for laying the blame on Manson and true the way the news handled it was dumb…but you can’t just say the actually shooting was dumb. (Well…you /can/ it just seems…wrong.) Yes, some, if not all, of the people who were killed had done something that would deserve a retaliation (maybe not murder) but…again, maybe you should’ve tried a different word.

Kellio said: The way he repeats the verses is kinda spooky. Repeating verses is commonly used in nursery ryhmes, most nursery rhymes repeat verses, as it's simple to read and to understand for children.

I might get a lot of stick for this but Manson is a lyrical genius and his lyrics are highly underrated because of his image. It's sad, because he truly is one of the best, if not THE best lyricist of our generation, along with Eminem (people will debate that too).


I again agree totally with one of your posts.


Dazedkid said: I think the song is about people as "nobodies", by I do think this was his lyrical tribute to the shooters at Columbine. "We are the nobodies/wanna be somebodies/but we're dead/they'll know just who were are". I think Manson eloquently put the torture and selfishness these boys must have felt to do what they did.

=nods= Exactly. Wonder when the Media will realize these sorts of things…probably never. (It’s sad, really.) And.,.I’ll just leave the responses at this.)

The Cure – Give Me It Lyrics 20 years ago
Well, I haven't listened to it, but there's some albums--take Slipknot's 'Volume Three: The Subliminal Verses'. They've got the...'harder'...stuff, then they've got songs like 'Circle' and 'Vermillion Part II'.

Dope – Fuck Tha Police (N.W.A. cover) Lyrics 20 years ago
TMBO24--I wilt have to do that...once I get a car... =giggle= Anyway, I half agree with Erl and half agree with Emmel (and those who also agree with Emmel.) There are some police officers who don't fit that description, true that, but all of these shinanagins (dear god, did I just say that? o.o) the police are pulling is just..disgusting. Its fits what these lyrics are saying to a tee...ee.And it's spreading through more and more police officers. Und my poppy-ta got much shit from the police for most of his life, so...I must agree. Fuck the police. Fuck them to hell. =nods=
