| Elton John – Levon Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
We are introduced to a man named Levon who has a kid named Jesus. He named him this because he liked the name, simply meaning he was a Christian man. He expresses his love through money by sending him to private schools. Levon is a greedy man we come to find out. Levon was born a poor man, a pauper, to a pawn, someone who was very weak and lacked power. He was born in WWI since this is when the Times cover that said "God is Dead" was released. The Times article was using Nietzsche's quote for the cover. Then we find out that Levon's father was named Alvin Tostig. Alvin named him Levon and instilled in him good traditional values that made him a family man. This turned out to be the thing that made him greedy and caused Jesus' resentment and desire to leave. We find out that Levon's successful business is selling cartoon balloons, a rather ridiculous business for a ridiculous man. Jesus helps because he has been raised to be a family man, something we come to find out he doesnt want at all. Jesus just wants to take one of these balloons and go sailing away from his greedy and traditional father, leaving him to die alone. |

| Jim Croce – Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| A lot of people dont know what they are talking about. This song is an autobiographical one about Croce when he was stationed overseas early in his life. He called his gf to check on her and found out the news. He then proceeded to write this song about it. And ray is the best friend and "something in my eye" is indeed tears. Croce ended up marrying his wife later on and died in that fatal plane crash soon after. This is one of his greatest songs. | |

| Our Lady Peace – 4 A.M. Lyrics | 18 years ago |

hasnt anyone noticed that the lyrics here are wrong: if i dont make it, know that I loved you all along. ive met raine in plenty of his bham shows and talked with him about this song. it is about missed oppurtunities in life in general in regards to relationships. He said that the fights with his family at a young age helped him push this off on other relationships he never fixed, and hence if he died he wants them to know he really loved his family, his brother, his exes, etc that he doesnt talk to anymore b/c of these problems. thats what I got from our conversations about the song. |
