| Neon Horse – Cuckoo! Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Looks like it's about children being a product of their parenting. I especially like the line about "...only yourself to blame, because all else failed." Over the past few years, I think we've all seen the parents of some kid who did something stupid or terrible crying on the news blaming violent videogames, Rated-R movies, and sex-filled TV commercials for their kid's mistakes. Cuckoo! Cuckoo! |

| Longwave – Everywhere You Turn Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| In a very personal way, I imagine this song having to do with two lovers who've broken up. They still see each other, and even though they still have feelings for each other, they can't express them because they know it just would never work out. | |
| Bloc Party – Song for Clay (Disappear Here) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I agree with both the "cocaine won't save you" and "Like the 80's never happened" changes. I'm not quite sure what the line about coverture means, since that's the commonlaw legal concept of a woman losing certain legal rights upon getting married. weird. As far as my own suggestions, i would say it's "make sure we ARE noticed." That would seem to make more sense in context, and it's what i hear. Good Call on the Less Than Zero reference. It makes a ton of sense to me now, since i've read the book as well. |

| Alkaline Trio – Smoke Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
As someone who used to smoke cigarettes, and has experienced a fair bit of grief and longing, i can tell you that the urge to smoke hits you like a damn semi. So wishing that you didn't wish to smoke makes total sense in a situation like that. |

| Iron & Wine – Evening on the Ground (Lilith's Song) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| "we were born to fuck each other one way or another." This earns my award for coolest line ever. | |
| Weezer – We Are All on Drugs Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| A True fan of Weezer can see the beauty of this song. But then, a true fan would let Rivers pee on them. This song is terrible. It sounds like a 10-year-old trying to do gonzo journalism. And that whole "Give it to me!" thing made me sad for weezer. They've fallen so far... | |
