| U2 – With or Without You Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Apparently Bono said that this is about his relationship with his fans...but I really get the impression of an intensley religious meaning. I think its about God/Jesus. The 'she' is sin. 'On a bed of nails she makes me wait' 'She's got me with nothing to win and nothing left to lose' It's also on the album 'joshua tree'. Joshua is the english translation of the hebrew/aramaic name yehoshua (Jesus is the greek translation). And 'cross' and 'tree' seem to be used interchangeably in scripture at times to refer to the crucifixion. 'My hands are tied, my body's brusied' 'See the thorn twist in your side' - This is obviously reffering to the thorn thrust in the side of Jesus that is sin. 'See the stone set in your eye' - This just reminds me of old, wise, authorative, eternal eyes that will never stop watching. Set in stone. 'And you give yourself away' Is reffering to Jesus who offered himself to die for us. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Disarm Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
' used to be a little boy, so old in my shoes' this line seems to be talking about being old in your head as a child and for some reason not having the innocence, as a negative thing. I think the song is about being mistreated as a child and then it having an affect on the person when they grew up. About being molested, perhaps. Or something like that. Supposedly billy corgan wrote it about his parents and their mistreatment of him. |

| Placebo – Burger Queen Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| this song is brilliant - I think is about a kid (male)depressed, lost and confused, so I guess goth, gay and depressed fits the profile - although I did relate to this song at times so I kind of feel dirty now (I'm not gay), but what smacks of irony is I used to think "if people started thinking I was gay, I would relate to this perfectly" (I knew what the 'queen' reference meant, but I always thought of it as other people saying it - 'he's a burger queen', the song seems to be someone describing the person its about) , and not too long after everyone started saying I was gay for no partiuclar reason, some people said I looked gay, but I don't do anytihng to indicate I'm gay or at least thats how I see it, and when I look in the mirror I see a guy far from gay. I guess its just mroe fule to the fire of my hate for everyone. | |
