Not sure about in the actual song, but live he says: And I know, and I feel, and I want it, so real (surreal?) (I kick it back into your/the side?) (Just check it back into the/your side?) He either changes it live or I just can't tell exactly what he says...but on record he says things along the lines of: I want it, you take it, I feel it, I sang it, I bring it back into your circle now, the circle (???) And I know, (that/and) you know, (and I want to/that you want to) and I feel it, I want take it to ya' as something (???)...Again, I'm not sure about alot of it. Hope it helps you guys figure it out. |

| The Kills – Black Balloon Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is about addiction itself, but more precisely it parallels heroin addiction and love addiction and/or affection kinds of addiction if you get what I mean. Let me break it down... Heroin: Heroin is generally sold in little square pieces of plastic torn from plastic bags or rubber balloons that are tied up at the top resembling a balloon. It's done this way so the dealer can swallow the drugs in the event that he is being investigated or arrested by police officers. No drugs means no incriminating evidence. In most areas, the most common form of heroin tends to be black tar, hence "black balloons". First Verse: Heroin "Elevator straight into my skull" - The high of heroin takes mere seconds to feels. When you shoot it, it goes straight to your brain real fast. "The escalator rises as it falls" - Since heroin is a sedative, it's anesthetic effects cause the user become numb, weak and nimble; slowly falling into a "relaxed" sleep-like trance as it gets you high. Hence, you fall as you rise... "I swear our jet is crashin' in my mind" - Just a simple metaphor for being high and what's going on in your head at the moment... "You can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time" - You can hold on and try to resist the effect but it's only a matter of time before you fall into the sleep-like trance, so don't waste your time trying to resist. Chorus: It's about kicking the habit; saying goodbye to the heroin. 2nd Verse: Ironicly, the user keeps coming back to habit even though they tried to kick it, hence the strong addiction of heroin. No the second verse could be taken two ways. On one side, it could be refering to a love obsession of some sort. It's easy to see how this one work as it could parallel the strength of both heroin addiction and love obsession. In my opinion it's still about heroin... "I've stood in a thousand street scenes, Just around the corner from you" - Different places on the street around the corner from the heroin dealer. If the stereotype holds true, they tend to sell dope on the street corner. "On the edge of a dream that you have" - That you'll one day kick the habit... "Has anybody ever told you it's not comin' true?" - But you'll never really kick it. Let alone is the habit itself hard as fuck to quit, but you'll always have a chance to relapse and there for, you'll never really be fully away from it. 2nd Chorus: "Farewell my black balloon, let the weather have it's way with you" - This one goes many ways too. Could be about finally getting clean. Could be about letting go of your love obsession for someone. Could also be about just letting giving up on both... Bonus: From the looks of the band it safe to say they've both had their experiences with heroin if not still do, which is more then likely which would justify the song... |

| Devendra Banhart – Carmensita Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Here's a translation I took time to make. It fixes the grammatical errors and informal sayings that translators tend to make. I.E in this case, the spanish slang that translators cannot make out properly, hence why it sounds weird when people read the translation. Being hispanic like Devendra, I understand his use of words and slang and have tried my best to carry that into the english translation so it's better to understand... Ay, your ginger cousin, With the roughened beard and full of whale, Leaning towards the sun. Ay, your ray of red light, Kissing our mouth, The kiss that is blown smells like alcohol. Ay, your three lunar eyes, extraterrestrial, Enter when you leave; but that is not seen. Ay, your red beard, mischievous and rebellious. I shave with a sword but it returns. La la la la la la la… If the night pursues you, give yourself to her, Or tell her that your head aches. Little shadow of reflection, give me something tender. I eat your love and shit hell. Ay oh oh oh oh oh, Ay oh oh oh oh oh Berno oh oh, Berné! Berné! Berné! oh oh Ah la la la la la la la... Ay, your redish eyes, blue and orange, Yellow and green and maroon… My love wrapped in your heart, Don’t let it go, please. We are elephants and snakes Similarly drinking in the sun… In the sun…In the sun…In the sun… La la la la la la la… |

Anyone seen the movie "Into The Wild" or read the book? Well, if you haven't you should. I recently watched it and for some reason I thought this song went well with what the movie was about and the themes in it. Of course the movie was made after the song but the book was written before. Just think about it a lot of it really goes well: In a found cut scene from an empty film. In reference to the last picture taken by McCandless. There's really too much of the song that sounds to me like his story so if you've seen the movie or read the book tell me what you think. |

| I don't know which upsets me more the fact that humans play with the carcasses of their own dead for scientific purposes or simply for art, or the fact that you find humans playing with animal parts more digusting. This is a real puzzle to me...If only that human skeleton hung at the front of my class could throw me a bone on this one... | |

In the album's booklet it says: "What's a chkacha!" What he actually says: "What's the temperature!" They wrote it that way on the booklet because that's just what it sounded like and what everyone shouted so it just stuck. |

| Los Campesinos! – We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It's critique on scenes and scenesters... Gareth: It's basically a tirade against cooler-than-thou scenesters really. We're not interested in being part of any scene and we don't buy into that notion of everybody being out to impress everyone else. I suppose it's also about the so-called crazy student types. Although we're all students ourselves we don't empathise with the student stereotypes at all. Tom: It does reference one musician in particular who shall remain nameless. My guess is they reference "We Say Party! You Say Die!". hence the tittle. |

| Syd Barrett – Octopus Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Some of this stuff has more meaning than at first glance, just really listen and try to imagine what he's saying. I would agree, most of his imagery only a person so "on the border" betwen reality and madness would understand, but if you try you can get close. If you think about it, why would he put so much spirit and energy into performing the song if he just put words together in 10 minutes....He refers to himself alot in the song, the "madcap" is him completely insane laughing at the "man in the border" which is also him. He's trapped in the madcap's side and can't cross the border, therefor the madcap laughs at him for even trying. He refers to tripping and sides alot, almost as if he himself knows he's on a continuos trip (reference to insanity) that he can't or wants to get out from ("please leave us here")....Don't dismiss what he says as just rambling, just pay attention and you'll get the big picture... | |

It's about a girl who falls for another girl. Two hints: "Bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating now" - Alot of guys don't consider their girl with another girl cheating (since guys have a thing for lesbians). "She's just looking for something new" -A new experience. She wants to experiment with something new; a lesbian experience. |

| Transplants – California Babylon Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| The album "Transplants" was recorded from 2000-2002 therefor Brody Dalle WAS 21 around the time the song may have been written. Also, she was 16 when she met Tim and 17 when she hit the scene in California/U.S. It's very clear that the last paragraph is about Brody, the whole song might even be about her, there is alot of references to her in the song if you really pay attention. Perhaps their relationship was on the rough even when the album was being made (since they broke up only a year after the album was released). | |

sadponygorillagirl got the meaning right on, but he mentions a beach on the Mediterranean, while Pachuca, is a city in Mexico that has no beaches surrounding it... Perhaps, he is on a beach in the Mediterranean, where it's night time and she's all the way in Mexico around sunrise because of the time difference. Everything else was already said by sadponygorillagirl... |

| Deftones – Beware Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It's actually simple when you pay attention. The ending gives it away that he's drowning her...Picture it like this... Chino forces her head underwater for some time and pulls it back to the surface as she's drowning and asks, "Do you like the way the water tastes?" in a psyco voice, and she responds in agreement with a muffled/drowning, panic like voice "Unhuh". (Say it outloud, if you can't get it). She's agreeing with him because she wants him to stop. It follows the same theme as Digital Bath, or Your Bones Are Red by Team Sleep, where Chino speaks of killing a girl because of a psycho love he has... |

They're calling you out Is this a sign of the end, are we losing him? ..Is this is a sign of distress, are you losing him?

| Well guys, to be honest....I doubted the album a bit from the beginning, yet I being stupid fell for the prank. Deep in the back of my mind, I refused to think it was real, yet I was drawn to conclusions too quickly. After having raed what TREXOR posted, I realized that I should've just kept to my word that the album was hoax. Anyways, it is that part of you "fans" that refuse to maybe even consider that this album is a hoax, that this whole prank is directed to. I hope you don't collapse to hard when you realize it is... | |

| Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Here's how the "gay" interpretation of this song works: "Pack up I'm straight" Is her telling him to go because he's gay and she's not, and probably cheated on her with another man. "I'm not I'm say say say..............." Is him replying that he's not straight....I'm not sure why he would say, "I'm say say say" though... "Wait they don't love you like I love you" Is her replying to him before he leaves that even though everything that's happened, she still loves him more than any person the guy has had in the past... "Made off Don't stray" Is her saying that he got away with cheating on her and she's sarcasticly telling him not go lost when he leaves... "Well my kinds your kind I'll stay the same" Is him replying to her that his kind (meaning what he likes (men)) is what she likes too, which is also men, because she is straight. Basicly the "kind" that he likes is men, and he's not changing that just for her... "Pack up Don't stray" Basicly the same as before, is her telling him to go and not get lost in a sarcastic tone after he has said what he has to say... "Wait they don't love you like I love you" This just repeats to show, that no matter how much and how sudden you may want a person out of your life, you'll still love them and you'll probably regret kicking them out of your life. Wich is basicly what she's doing. She's telling him to go, yet stopping him at the door, because she's not sure of what she's about to do, or letting him go despite everything.... Ehhhhh, that's just how that goes.... |

I got more of the lyrics: Despised, they've left me behind! (Behind x3) Despised, they've left me behind! (Behind x3) What's been burned! (Left me behind) What was burned! (Despised, they've left me behind) My broken heart! (Left me behind) And let's restart! (Behind) It's times like these, in the midst of sink or swim that I've enfolded. Nouns and verbs in nights I seek to forget, and looked for eyes spying on a future less grim. (What's been burned!) You don't argue with the wise, well-read or well- spoken. Teach the younger that it's running legs that are easily broken. ?????????????????????????(Lessons learned) The leaders will consume cuz' ??????...(Lessons learned) Those pictures never told about our history...(Lessons learned) But in these ?????????? that she's my... Lessons learned are scars that don't heal, but are always earned. And there's no chance of seeing through the disguises when your only staring through holes torn and burned. (Holes torn and burned!) Sixteen years too many with collars thrown to the wind. Left wondering if it's easier to buy design, or wallow in sin... Sixteen years too many with collars thrown to the wind. Left wondering if it's easier to, buy design, or... Wallow in sin... It's basicly the middle that's hard to figure out what he's saying because "Lessons learned" is shouted in the background over and over again... |

| Deftones – Knife Party Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I agree mostly that this song is about a literal knife party, but another point of view, is that it might be about drugs...Heroin to be exact. I believe this because the album title is "White Pony", which refers to Cocaine, and that most of the songs on the album have references to drugs. Where he says "A knife, sharp and chrome", could mean a syringe, and when Chino says, "Come see inside my bones", could mean injecting it into his body. Another note, is the rhythm of the song and the fact that it makes you calm and sedated somewhat. Also, the lines, "I can float here forever", and "In here we are all anemic", could mean the feeling of being high... This is just a secondary option at what the song is talking about... |

| Deftones – Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Staring at the setting sun (Then it's over) No reason to come back again (In a flash) The twilight world in blue and white (And I'll never!) The needle and the damage done (Ever understand!) I don't want to feel, this way forever (Understanding....in a car crash!) A dead letter marked, return to sender (In a car crash!) In a crash (In a crash)... |

| Thursday – Steps Ascending Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The perfected lyrics are: [Note: Where the ** are around "He's" in the final verse, means he only says it once and repeats the line without "He's" the other times....and sorry for being so specific...] Thursday - Steps Ascending Steps ascend, to a loaded gun The scent of matches hangs in the air A lit one flickers out in a heartbeat We don't want to see this A flash of light that's letting go Of an empty bullet case, but By the time it hits the ground, He's out of reach (Let go, let go) Out of reach (Let go, let go) Out of reach (Let go, let go) Out of reach (Let go, let go) (Out of, reach!) The wolves are closing in There's no room left to make ammends, but Do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high? All the time we've (wasted!) Spent (fighting!) We'll (burn!) in the fire of our regrets All the time we've (wasted!) Spent (fighting!) It's (blood!) And it's running down the stairs Freeze the frame Between the gunshot and the hole it makes A spinning bullet hangs in the middle There's no way to stop it It will surely hit the mark You can try to understand, but I'm giving up Giving up Giving up The synapses fire is right in time I'm giving up (Giving up) Giving up (Giving up) Giving up This should always stay...out of reach (Let go, let go) Out of reach (Let go, let go) Out of reach (Let go, let go) Out of reach (Let go, let go) The wolves are closing in There's no room left to make ammends, but Do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high? All the time we've (wasted!) Spent (fighting!) We'll (burn!) in the fire of our regrets All the time we've (wasted!) Spent (fighting!) It's (blood!) and it's running down the stairs (Here I...go...to him) (Here I...go...to him) (Here I...go...to him)[All throughout the verse] I ran down the stairs and into the garden (*He's* Out of reach)[All throughout the verse] Put both my hands into the soil In the spring You will bloom Like her heart through the blouse In the back of the ambulance As it turned and it turned in the streets Just one more turn won't you come back to me? As it turned it's red lights You were turning into... Red roses Red roses Red roses Red roses I'm not giving up... |

| Tool – Disgustipated Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Sorry for the double post. After some research I found the speaker of the story at the end of the song. As I said in my before post it isn't really an answering machine message. It's the lead singer of Rollins Band, Henry Rollins. Rollins Band gave Tool the opening spot for them at Loolapaloza (SP?) back when Tool wasn't well known. This was Tools first big concert event. The band has been friends with Rollins Band ever since and they called on Henry Rollins to say the little story. I think the part was originally written for Maynard. | |
| Tool – Disgustipated Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I will write what this song means to me later on, but right now, I would like to note a few points... 1) Later on, when Maynard begins to yell "This is necessary!" After it pauses for the first time. The sound of the drum in the background resembles a gun cocking and going off. It fits in like this: "This *Gun cocks* is *Gun shoots* neces-*Gun cocks*-sary *Gun shoots*... 2) Also, to add to the above point, after he is done yelling "This is necessary" for the second time (After the pause), you hear glass shattering. Listen closely and their is a shotgun cocking and going off... 3) That it is not infact and answering machine message. It is the lead singer of a band (Can't remember the name) that gave Tool the opening spot for them long ago at the concert where Tool first became a widely spoken name/the first time Tool went on stage at a big concert event... |
