Sufjan Stevens – I Want to Be Well Lyrics 14 years ago
This is all well and good speculation about what it's about, but has anyone heard from Sufjan himself about what the song is REALLY about? Whether it's about his illness, his visions/temptations/demonic influences (I've never heard about him struggling with any of that stuff)

I just want to know why he, as a Christian, chose to curse in this song. It's interesting and perplexing to me.

The Smashing Pumpkins – G.L.O.W Lyrics 16 years ago
Ok, I've been looking everywhere for the lyrics and as I listen to the song more and more, I think a lot of people have the lyrics wrong. I think this is how it goes:

I'm so alone, I'm so alone I'm thinking
I'm so alone, I can't get old
I'm so alone, I'm so alone
I can't get off of you

For you love yourself
For you love yourself and no one else
The bitter root of self
Come on baby, no time for maybes
One last trip to hell

Come on, Come on, Come on
Can you feel it?
Come on, Come on, Come on
Can you feel it? Glowing you?
Slowing you?
It's that glow in you.

I'm so alone, I'm so alone I'm sinking
I'm so I can't get lost, in you

For you love yourself
For you love yourself and no one else
The bitter root of self
Come on baby, drive me crazy
One last trip to hell

Come on, Come on, Come on
Can you feel it?
Come on, Come on, Come on
Can you feel it? Glowing you?
Slowing you?
It's that glow in you.

And it's not strange, but your the same, under me
And it's not strange, that I'm so strange, released

Come on! Come on! Come on, Can you feel it? (7X)

Glow!

After extensive listening, I'm pretty sure that's right. And I have a stereo so clear I can hear som artist breath when they sing, so yeah, I'm pretty sure that's right

Regina Spektor – That Time Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this song is from the perspective of Regina or perhaps another character talkin' to a friend who is in the hospital, perhaps in a coma or just laying there. The two are emotional and reminicing about past events and then the seriousness towards the end is basically her saying, yeah, remember when you O.D'ed those two times? everything is gonna be ok...trust me.

My Chemical Romance – Mama Lyrics 19 years ago
From what i gather, this song is from a soldier, perhaps Russian. I picture him drinking in a tent bar within the encampment writing this letter and sending it back to his mama.
Mama we're going to hell for the people we've killed as soldiers
And when we go to hell don't blame us, you guys hyped up the war and everything and sent us all there.
Mama we're all full of lies. How the media back then and even now makes the war so glamourous and everything, but they're full of lies because they had to kill people
He is also getting his leg amputated from fighting.
He's saying she should have raised a baby girl so she wouldn't have had to go to war.
She (his mama) said she wasn't her son because he went to fight and when he told her what he did, she knows about the post traumatic shock and all those mental disorders.
If if you could call me your sweetheart i'd maybe then sing you a song, basically is his mama wanting to see him as a boy again, not a man.
We're damned after all..i see his whole squad singing with him because tomorrow they're going into battle and more than likely will die. But they'll carry on in spirit.

System of a Down – Toxicity Lyrics 20 years ago
Ladies and Gentlemen..this song is simply about one thing...captalism and the sinful nature of human beings. The greed that we must have the latest, biggest and newest THING...to make our lives complete. Toxicity is the soul attitude of our country, everything revolves around owning something or it belonging to someone.

If you don't believe me, look at gas prices, just another attempt to own the world, you control a major fuel source or energy souce that billions upon billions of people rely on, congradualtions you know have an ace in the game of blackjack.

but there are just somethings you can never own, free will. people can do what they want. Sure you can influence them, manipulate them, tear them down or even build them out, but you can never own the heart and free will....and out of such things......comes disorder...

Toxicity, the best song that attacks our way of life that has ever been written.
