| Rage Against the Machine – Sleep Now In The Fire Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm surprised no one actually questioned or talked about the name of the song. "Sleep now in the fire" refers to the buddhist monk who in the vietnam war set himself alight in protest, he didn't flinch, he didn't scream, he just sat there completely peacefully while he burned to death. This hugely effected RATM and they refer to him a lot. So what they are saying is the cost of your desire aka the cost of americas greed, sleep now in the fire. Yeah..just for your information. |

I love what one of you on here said... It's like a warning that we are all not far from our point of insanity. |

| Mashlin – The Shore Lyrics | 20 years ago |

I love this song. Again I twist songs, and I guess I mighta twisted this one. But to me, it fits absolutely perfectly with my life. I would sing this to myself. Especially the line "You're rooted in a dying ocean" amd "You know who you are". When you feel like you've forgotten who you really are, and "all that you were has been forgotten". You fall and your concience kills you because you know your lost, but this is kinda hopeful, with you know who you are, and you wont forget who you are. You're there...rooted in a dieng ocean. You may say I'm wrong. But to me, this song is perfect. |

This is one of the most amazing songs ever. For when you take the wrong roads in life and you have to backtrack to find your way back home again and carry on the big road of life. Everyone makes mistakes, I feel like this is the kind of mistake where you have your eyes on all the wrong things and you figure out that you were wrong, and you left the road you needed to travel and you just need to start again and find your way back to peace of mind. Absolutely love this song, beautiful..and hopeful. |

| The Innocence Mission – Bright As Yellow Lyrics | 20 years ago |

| Cat Stevens – Sad Lisa Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This is SUCH a beautiful song. This song reminds me of when I was depressed, which I was for years and years, and everytime I'm sad again, or someone's wronged me I listen to this and brings back memories of old pain, and I know it may seem a little odd but it feels good to remember times like those, just cos I got through them. But now I'm just rambling :p lol. I love the way he uses a kind of pun...dunno if anyone else noticed it. "Her eyes like windows, trickling rain, upon her pain getting deeper", pain could also be seen as window PANE. Anyway, this song makes me cry. My mom played it to me when..well something really bad had happened to me, something I couldn't tell ANYONE about, and I kept holding it back and then one night I just sat with her and cryed on her shoulder. I still couldn't tell her, but I think she could relate this song perfectly then. "Open the door, don't hide in the dark" "Tell me what's making you Sadly" This is just the ultimate song for deep and beautiful sadness. If you could call it that. |

| Cat Stevens – The Wind Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This is my ultimate childhood music...well this and Zucchero. My parents used to play this song all the time. It means a lot to me. It's so peaceful, and SO spiritual. I love the way he relates his soul to wind. It's about life, about change and about destiny. | |
| All Saints – Pure Shores Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song is awesome. One of my theme songs. I see it as destiny. I dont quite know how to explain, but I'll just relate it. Among my many dreams, I have a dream to escape, to a paradise (which relates to the Beach perfectly), to somewhere I can call myn, my destiny, this is saying how I'm coming, I'm on my way to my destiny, the place where I've struggled to get to, the answer I've been searching to find. It's one of those life songs. | |
| Tracy Chapman – The Rape Of The World Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
NO COMMENTS?!?! It's the most amazing, emotional and controversial song Tracy Chapman has ever created and not ONE bloody comment! You people suck ;p lol. This is my favourite Tracy Chapman song. It's more of a worldly song than Micheal Jackson's "Earth Song". It's about how the world turns a blind eye and continues to destroy "mother earth". No one watches the shocking documentaries and the millions of africans dyieng of aids EVERY day, the the graphic images of war and poverty, the rain forests being chopped down and all the animals, all the splendour and beauty of the world torn down for commercial use. And no one even notices. She's saying here how although you or me may not be the ones killing, destroying and degrading our beautiful home, but the worst crime of all is to stand aside and watch as the world falls apart. To do nothing about it. The worst crime is the way that people could infact stop "the rape of the world" (I love that metaphor), if everyone cared, if everyone tried. This song is so sad, how can the world turn their heads to THIS, to all the sadness, the pain, the poverty, how can the world ignore it. + hero |

| Tracy Chapman – New Beginning Lyrics | 20 years ago |

I love this song I can't believe no ones commented on it. I don't even need to say what this is about, it's completely self explanatory. I love the way Tracy Chapman has so much hope for the future and people. That in fact we can rectify all the pain that we've created. The world's a mess. To be able to wipe the slate clean and start fresh, everything new, no more pain, no more suffering, no more poverty or war. It's like a dream come true. I wish people would listen sometimes... Favourite line: "we need to change it now, this world with too few happy endings" |

| Tracy Chapman – Remember the Tin Man Lyrics | 20 years ago |

absolutely beautiful. And I agree with both of you boozm and chungjik. It is open to anyone, not neccessarily a victim of sexual assualt. A truamatic experience which stole your spirit, your "heart", left you untrusting, sad and dispirited. "hollow". But it also gives hope at the end, for you can find yourself again. I love this song. As with all Tracy chapman's music. Legendary. |

| Veruca Salt – Disconnected Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
okay well this is one of favourite songs of all time, I can relate it to my own experiences, but then again songs can be seen from many different points of view. "Disconnected, its the way that I wanted it to be" shows how she's put him in the past, he's gone, she's blocked off ALL contact with him, and thats what she wanted, she wanted nothing more to do with him. It's over and in the end for the better. "The Cult Electric is my favourite record of the week" ...she listening to the same sad record, cos obviously she doesn't feel okay...thats pretty self explanatory. "But I can't say that when everyone is so judgemental" -- if anyones ever been in love they'll know about all the things you can't say, no ones ever truthful about the way they feel and she can't be. I think when she's says everyones so judgemental, she's more using sarcasm, as in...he's judgemental. She can't say these things, whatever they may be, because they all judge her for them. "and I can't play back all the times when you were gentle, cos even you can't be true" ... all those times when he said he cared about her, she knows they were never real, she can't play them back to convince herself that she should persevere because she knows that it was never true, he said the things she wished he would, but he never truly meant them, and she knows that. "its astounding what love can do to a city, Laurel Canyon was the best place for you and me to be I chose the curtains and I dreamed a dream of domesticity What a freak you made of me" She's remembering the past in those first two lines, and she says how she dreamed of all these beautiful things, things which were important to her, and he made her feel like she was insane, he never appreciated them, and he made these things which seemed so real to her, out to be meaningless bullshit, like she was just some raving lunatic (sorry :p lol). "Now I'm on Zoloft because you told me I was crazy"...this again relates to the way that because she's in love with him, he can take her dreams and take the person that she is and convince her that she's insane, like somewhere along the way SHE screwed up, because he didn't appreciate what she had to say, he didn't understand it and he made her out to be crazy, she believed him. Now she's taking medication. "And I won't jump cause now I know you'd never catch me And I can't leave you because you swore you'd never let me But even you, talk shit too"...the first line shows how he never really cared, and if she fell he wouldn't be there to catch her, thats what she wanted from him, but she realises now he'll never love her. And he said he'd never let her leave him, but it wasn't true, it was all a fasade, it was simply what she wanted to hear, and when she says "even you talk shit too" I think that's also an indication of the way he used to tell her she "talked shit". "It's January when I jumped the fence of your backyard Finish the fairy tale that you weren't drunk enough to start It's kind of scary when your lover leaves you for a movie star But I'm still in the dark" the use of the word fairy-tale I think is because she wanted this fairy tale relationship with him, where he loved her, and she loved him, and they lived happily ever after, but she never had that, I'm also thinking that he probably only says the things which she wishes he would say when he's drunk, and she's ending this "fairy tale" before it could even begin. It also shows how he's leaving HER, for someone more important, or perhaps its just a metaphor and he's not leaving her at all, but cares more for other more extravagant woman, and that scares her, and she has so many thoughts and ideas but she's shadowed by her love for him, and still no one see's this other side of her, the "movie star side", not even him. You made a mistake here too, you missed out the "me" in "you have trained me to watch my back and drop my standards" ...this line also shows how she's in love with him and just trying to be who he wants her to be, and she's dropped all the beautiful things that she was, and she's become insecure and untrusting. And she no longer holds the same respect as she once had for him, this verse shows a turn around in her feelings, she wont bow down to him anymore, she won't compromise who she is for him ....well it's pretty self explanatory. "And you will never have the chance to trace my features And you will never make me feel like such a loser And you can have the past 'cause I'm in love with the future" ...you'll never see what I am, you'll never love who I am, you'll never make me feel like an outcast because of it, you'll never make me hate myself again, I still love the future, I still have all the dreams and thoughts I had before any of this, and you'll never understand them or have them and thats your loss not myn. She see's a love without him, a better one for her. "And I have met a boy Who makes you look so shallow (I'm in love with the future) And there is so much time And so much space to travel (I'm in love with the future) And I will make the climb and I will kiss the gravel (I'm in love with the future)" this bit I didn't actually hear in the song, but this is fucking awesome, I didn't hear it, I thougt it was just the whispered "I'm in love with the future bit" and I couldn't make out the background. But I really love this part. It shows how she's moving on, and she's met someone who makes her dreams seem important, and she see's now how shallow he is, and how much more she has in store for her now. I love the line "watch me, watch me I'll touch the sky" because it shows how she's proving to him that what she is is worth something, and that despite the way he made her feel (like nothing) and despite how low he brought her, she'll rise again and "touch the sky" |
