| Antje Duvekot – Judas Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| A biblical analogy of playground politics. Pretty powerful stuff. It reminds me of John Voss from Empire Falls (read the book, skip the movie) | |
| Antje Duvekot – Sex Bandaid Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It sounds like it's about a girl who's already a little screwed up. She goes to this man for love when she'd down, and he just slaps a 'sex bandaid' on over her problems. The man's messed up too, though. 'For another damn spin on your merry go round' is like going over his crap again. I think maybe like a drug addiction. "I come to you when I'm in a bad way. You have sex with me to make me feel better instead of actually fixing the problem. Then I have to go back through the same song and dance as always with your drug addiction. You're rooted to the spot. You never make progress, you just keep on going around and around." | |
| Simple Plan – My Christmas List Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
To any one looking for the meaning in this song - You won't find it. It's just a poppy, light hearted song, designed probably to make you LAUGH. It's not meant to be taken seriously. (as if we didn't know!) Though I think I can sense a hint of sarcasm towards we Americans... If it is there, it's well deserved, I guess. Most of us don't realize how good we have it. But otherwise, I just think this game was designed for 'Light Hearted Fun' |

| Nickel Creek – I Should've Known Better Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The song definately leaps out of hte other tracks on the CD, and any one who wants to stereotype this as a dunmewrong song deserves a hearty 'Shame On You." It's understandably (to me) about a young woman who found her boyfriend cheating, because of her lack of 'passion' in the relationship. The letter, I believe, was his explaining his newest girlfriend to her, the used tissue. |

| Nickel Creek – When You Come Back Down Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song was written by Tim O' Brian, but Nickel Creek definately put it to good use. It definately make me think of a boy saying to a girl, who he loves, that he wants her to go on in life, even he won't be able to have her in his live any more. My greatest fear will be, that you will crash and burn, and I won't feel your fire This seems like she has a chance to do something big, and, even thought he's always backed her up, and he'll alwasy be listening for her call, that he fears her massing up, and his not being them to break her fall. All in all, the boy only wants he to be happy, even if he can't be there WILE she's happy. oh, and jwimmer, was your comment at all important to the subject of this song? At least the victim of your random rebukes POSTED an oppinion of the song! |

| Simple Plan – Welcome to My Life Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
It’s obvious to any one who’s managed to let their vulnerable young minds stray from the ear phones of their Discmans (which happen to be blaring Simple Plan) that there *are* better bands lurking out there - More talent, better lyrics, and themes used less often. But the point is, as any one out there should take the time to realize - most kids whom have hit the puberty stage aren’t looking for talent. Before you burst out with the “Life sucks, get a helmet” thing, let’s just consider for a second - Why should you care if some one’s hopelessly addicted to Simple Plan? Is your life so lonely that you needed to take the time travel all the way to a board for a song you hate, post a belittling and useless (except for insult) message about the fiend of the music industry, when you know that the board will obviously be filled with posters who will appose your way of thinking? There can’t be a lot of reason unless you just wanted to argue. The sad thing is, many of you sound like logical people, and your opinions could obviously be used elsewhere, where it would be appreciated instead of shot down and disregarded by crazed fans. So what if the lyrics are a bit dry? I found the band positively repulsive when it was first introduced to me, but can easily listen to and enjoy their work now. It should have become clear to you at first that it’s useless to fight the current - you’ll be washed down stream. Let kids be kids. Many young people *do* find they can relate to the lyrics. The point is, most any one can. And sometimes, when you’ve been knocked on your ass, it’s nice to just *feel bad for yourself* for a wile before you leap back up to face the world. This is a different generation - Not every one is a connoisseur of fine arts - some people like to listen to listen to music that is utterly repulsive to people who have found a life outside of hormones… But let them make their own mistakes - It’s only annoying to see your negative opinions on a board for a song that obviously relieves thousands of teens from the stress of their lives. You might also consider - What do you know about these crazed fans you so carelessly put down? You know nothing about what’s going on in their lives. Today’s social circle, as confirmed by my teachers and every other adult that influences my life, is vicious. There are many people just out to hurt others - it’s nice to just retreat into some understanding, if not slightly over used, music. (Though I’d happily settle for Simon and Garfunkel) And on a side note to the reviewers who made some comments about we fowl Americans - I couldn’t agree more. Most of us are ignorant and don’t realize how good we have it here… We don’t even take the time to properly learn about our neighbors. Most kids in my school know next to nothing about Canada… But as far as I’ve seen, the complaints about Simple Plan weren’t directed at their nationalities… Though most of us have our noses pretty high (I know how most other countries could care less about us) and we turn the other cheek against the real world, there area a few of us out there who see the real world, and find the comments you make against us a bit insulting. Just a thought, |
