Tool – Schism Lyrics 19 years ago
thanks 'babyeater' for your comments; "This is a love song. Just... a love that's been lost. The speaker seems to recognize why the relationship has fallen apart, but he's still just bitching and moaning."

hmm.
do you even like tool?

Augie March – One Crowded Hour Lyrics 19 years ago
mm i agree with the foolish teen love pregnant notion... here's a few more ideas. tell me what you think:

"They put me in a cage full of lions, I learned to speak lion
In fact I know the language well..."

He was thrusted into a frightening situation, in which he could not escape, but concurrently learnt to deal with as it consumed his life.

"...I picked it up while I was versing myself in the languages they speak in hell"

he had already felt such torment and dealt with it similarly from experience... in other words, hell consumed his life.

an early line:
"if love is a bolt from the blue, then what is that bolt but a glorified screw?
and that doesn't hold nothing together"

screw is a pun- a twist on love being a 'bolt' but also meaning sex (which should never have had such significance- but the conception made it so)
in effect- love- a bolt should be firm, stable, strong and supporting- yet this 'screw' as sung, doesn't hold anything together (cannot hold together the fleeting relationship, let alone a family)

The Mountain Goats – This Year Lyrics 20 years ago
It’s a real pity no one can spell these days. If you want to read it more fluently, read this:

I broke free on a Saturday morning
I put the pedal to the floor
headed north on mills avenue
and listened to the engine roar

my broken house behind me
and good things ahead
a girl named Cathy
wants a little of my time
six cylinders underneath the hood
crashing and kicking
aha!
listen to the engine whine

i am going to make it through this year
if it kills me
i am going to make it though this year
if it kills me

i played video games in a drunken haze
i was seventeen years young
hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue

and then Cathy showed up
and we hung out
trading swigs from a bottle
all bitter and clean
locking eyes
holding hands
twin high maintenance machines

i am going to make it through this year
if it kills me
i am going to make it though this year
if it kills me

i drove home in the California dusk
i could feel the alcohol inside of me hum
pictured the look on my stepfather's face
ready for the bad things to come
i down shifted
as i pulled into the driveway
the motor screaming out
stuck in second gear
the scene ends badly
as you might imagine
in a cavalcade of anger and fear

there will be feasting and dancing
in Jerusalem next year

i am going to make it through this year
if it kills me
i am going to make it though this year
if it kills me



The song to me is fucking wicked. Being in year 12 (senior year), I just get it, particularly the way morbot doesn't. Some serious kudos to the mountain goats.
