| Sloan – The Other Man Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
To answer Billco about the last paragraph, I think the 'other man' hasn't expressed his intentions yet to the girl he's getting along so well with. I think he's hitting it off so well with the girl, that he's driving a wedge between her and her bf, because he has a connection with her that she doesn't have with her bf. Even though the bf may be a stand-up a guy and all, that doesn't matter because they are falling apart because of him. At this point, even if the 'other man' were to keep his distance, the damage he caused is already done, and the girl and her bf's relationship falling apart would be 'happenin' anyway'. The girl may not be totally aware that she's fallen for the 'other man', but he knows that he better confess his intentions to her soon because her bf is going to put two and two together soon enough. |

| Eagles – Desperado Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Both elation and depression are powerful feelings that effect chemicals in the brain. The words of this song can be interpreted as substance abuse because love is an addiction in itself. I highly doubt that when it was written, substance abuse was in mind. But it's free for people to relate to it in their own ways. And looking up other people's meaning means seeing how others perceive it. To me, the followin I see as a sign of depression from being dissatisified with life. "You're loosin' all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?" I see link betwen that and a line from our lady peace: "You're happy you're in love You need someone to hate" Life becomes boring without extremes, and you need both the good and the bad. The desperdo person being talked about has lost both the highs and lows. Even though they may have gained a sense of freedom from nothing holding them down, it's also an imprisonment because there's nothing to ground them to this earth. They are lost and they need someone to love them so they can be found, before it's too late... |

| Foo Fighters – Hey, Johnny Park! Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Just to let you guys all know from the foo fighter's official site it says "Written about Dave's old neighborhood pal". I don't know any other background behind this. He may have just choosen the title to get in contact with a friend, and the song could be written about something else. But I wonder... I heard a story on the radio 7 years ago about how Dave isn't really into drugs because when he was in his young teens an older neighborhood kid who all the younger kids looked up to, O.D'd and died and I think Dave witnessed them taking away the body from behind a local convenience store. It affected him greatly. So as much as a lot of people would love to say the song screams 'Kurt Kurt Kurt', I really have my doubts about that. |

| Nirvana – Milk It Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song is so incredibly unique. When I feel really stressed out I like to turn this song and just stare at myself in the mirror. I really don't think this song is about suicide, but the opposite. For me it listening to it takes all the little things that are collectively stressing me out and just blends them together into one, which I can get over much quicker. Life is messed up, but no matter how it happens, life goes on. As for meaning there's lots of messages, some which I have not seen posted yet. First verse: It's about not finding exactly what you dream about, but finding another 'parasite' that you can have a symbiotic relationship with. You make due with what you can find. Doll Steak, Test meat - this is a female and male reference. Whether it goes as to make a statment about the female image by saying 'doll', I'm not to sure. I think it's more likely about how dolls are lifeless. And 'test meat' is a strange one? hmm.. impotency? second verse: The first part is mostly about total exhaustion. It's about feeling so numb, senses deadened that you know longer even fear death. He hangs on for his parasite. I'm not sure why Kurt likes to make so many anemia references. Also the part about her milk is my sh*t and stuff is still about that symbiotic relationship. It makes me think of how we use cow sh*t to grow vegetables. The last verse is interesting. The kennel might be a parasital reference. Maybe that we are like fleas? I think the ecto-plasm/ecto-skeletal ties in with the habituary every birthday line. For new parasites to be born, doesn't the old one have die to split in two? It could be about new beginnings. In order for change to happen an old way has to die. And the scent part is saying that the memories remain. |
