| The Beatles – Eleanor Rigby Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song is about being so close to someone yet being so far away, or lonely. Father McKenzie, a member of the church, and Elanor Rigby, a woman who cleans up (nun or janitor) the rice after weddings. They're both lonely, yet so close to eachother at the same time. He writes semons that no one listens to and darns his socks (to darn is to patch with yarn. Basicly he sews his socks together) to keep up his appearance, but has no one to keep it up for. She wears her face in a jar by the door (could LITERALLY be mascera or makeup in a jar). So close to eachother and wanting the same thing, but so far away because they don't reach out and touch eachother. | |

Btw, Wikipedia has an entry for this song. Noticed it after I posted. "I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl" references all the people who are just sitting there in their cars waiting while other people are fighting to stem the problems in society. |

Oh, and an incredibly important person from the 1989 protests is "The Unknown Rebel", one of Time Magazine's most 100 influential people of the 20th century. Up there with Einstein, Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., and (negative influence, but a major influence nonetheless) Hitler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_man The picture seems to go well with the song. Btw, Seluren is enrules backwards. Well, Nerules backwards but if you swap the N and E you get Enrules. I wish he'd stfu and stop making accounts to bash other people. |

First two lines are, "Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square. Was fashion the reason why they were there?" Tiananmen square was this place in China. The protests, according to Wikipedia, "The protest denounced China's economic instability and political corruption and was violently suppressed by the PRC government." SOAD is trying to show that while we're obsessed with fashion and dedicate our lives to it and act as if it is the most important thing out there, there are people who are fighting for freedom, liberty, equality, and a fair government. The very things that America stood for are being fought for in places besides America. |

| Its "Brandy for the nerves", not "Brandy for the nerds" | |
| Metallica – Battery Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
To elaborate more... "Smashing through the boundaries lunacy has found me cannot stop the Battery" This could either mean that you can't stop the rage, or you can't stop the actual act of battery. However... " Pounding out aggression turns into obsession cannot kill the Battery" THIS references the anger fueling the act, or the battery that drives the violence. Thats about as deep as you can get for this song, considering its about kicking the shit out of people. |

| Metallica – Battery Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Its a play on words. Battery - An act of violence, or assault. Battery - A source of energy. In this case, the battery is anger. Anger fuels and drives someone to commit battery. Simply put, you get so pissed that your rage causes you and you beat the shit out of someone. |

| System of a Down – Fortress Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| He'd be included because SOAD hates it when people of responsibility fuck up, and they fucked up bad with this guy. | |
| System of a Down – Lost In Hollywood Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
"This song was written by guitarist Daron Malakian. He grew up in Hollywood and now lives there. It is about him telling a girl that people in Hollywood lie and they shouldn't be trusted. She goes anyway, but he is right. (thanks, Paul - Cumberland, RI)" From Songfacts.com |

| Soil – Unreal Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Yeah, not every song is about God, but... The first line in this song is "Sit back bare your cross to me." Anyone else know of any crosses that he could be referring to? | |
| Soil – Black 7 Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I think that the Scars album is generally about self-conflict with god/religion. Every SOiL song has someone posting about how not every song is about God, which is true... But look at the fricking titles. Black 7 (7 deadly sins), New Faith, Halo. Then if you look at the lyrics its even more clear. | |
| Megadeth – Black Curtains Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Its not that Megadeth rips off Metallica, its that Dave helped write a lot of these songs or wrote them. IMO he has the right to use what he wrote. | |
| Megadeth – Countdown to Extinction Lyrics | 20 years ago |

Krestfallyn, anyone who votes for someone because of their religion is very misguided. By voting for somebody because of your religion you're saying that it makes you better than those of which who don't follow your religion, because you're ignoring wether Kerry is or is not a better president and only looking at religion. Thus you're saying that your religion makes you God-like and infalliable, because no matter how much better the other person is you're better because you follow that religion. No person who truly follows God, wether they practice what Christ taught (Christianity today and what Christ Taught are not the same. "God hates Gays" doesn't equal "Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone"), Judaism or Islam would ever believe they are infalliable. The overconfidence, arrogance, and blind beleif in a man who has already made many mistakes is not faith, its ignorance. Of course, we all make mistakes ;) Also, an interesting note is that President Bush's own church says that this war isn't justified. Bush is not a true Christian, he's a political Christian. As for the song, I think everyone has it down already. Another solid one from Megadeth. These guys impress me more with each song I hear, and its good to see that they can make a mild to soft song and still be awesome. |
