| Bad Brains – The Regulator Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Its about the strict authority that takes away your rights, that makes you feel powerless and controlled. They take away our rights because they "regulate" society. | |
| Misfits – Some Kinda Hate Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This was the first Misfits song I ever learned to play and by the way, Teenage Kicks was written by The Buzzcocks.... | |
| Misfits – TV Casualty Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song is about being stuck in the TV Era, an era where we mindlessly watch the garbage that is MTV and all the other bullshit channels that set the "Trends". Its also about how all that peole really do nowadays is just watch TV and waste away. | |
| Black Flag – Drinking and Driving Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I agree with Lost Nomad, its just a song talking about how you can drink if you want but to do it in a responsible, smart way. Even though I myslef am Straight-Edge I think that this song makes a lot of sense and it is somehow, a comprimise. | |
| Black Flag – Nervous Breakdown Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Nah, Henry Rollins kicks ass but Black Flag always had decent singers. This song is awesome, great riff too. Rise Against did a good cover but the original a lot better, IMO. | |
| Bad Brains – House Of Suffering Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song fucking rocks. Its soooooooooooo fast it's unbelievable | |
| Misfits – Mommy, Can I Go Out And Kill Tonight? Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song is just awesome. Its about akid who gets bullied because he's a"nerd/geek" but gets his revenge. No one but Danzig can come up with classic punk anthems like "Mommy...' | |
| AFI – The Boy Who Destroyed The World Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song, in my interpretation means of someone who had enthusiasm and a "glow" that others lacked (the glow could be happiness, innocence, love, compassion, honesty, basically any good and unfortunately, rare trait that others lack) but was slowly changed by the influence and misguidance of others. There were some who tried to help him/her but they ultimately failed and just sunk that person more into a pit of despair. This leads me also to believe that the song can be a symbol for how our society works: there are a select few who have something that others don't and through many phases, the people who eny and loath those few, eventually change them for the worse. Pretty sad, actually. But, this song just plain fucking rocks. AFI burns forever. |

This song is definetly one of the best, if not the best song on the album. The song for me, means two things: Davey's talking about being lost and in despair, but he also points out that there are many like you and that you shouldn't give up. In the chorus when Jade and Davey exchange: "Angels for everyone. (Davey's saying that everyone has hope or an 'angel') For no lack of searching I can't seem to find one. (Jade's saying that he can't find hope, no matter how hard he looks) Angels in everyone. (Davey's saying there's still good in people) What of all their promises? (Promises refers to possibly what has caused the peson to lose so much hope in others, and how can he bring himself to see the good in others when all the promises they made have been broken) Can't seem to find much more than lies. (see above) Angels in anyone. (I think he means that even if you don't find hope in others you can find it within you)" The other thing that comes to mind when I think of this song is an anti-suicide message. Bassically what has already been said above: there are many people who feel lost and seek an immediate solution to their temporary problems. But as the lyrics point out, it's harder to live than to kill yourself, and that suicide is taking the easy way out. The last lines: "Before I'd lay me down to rest, I'd throw away everything to live." means that before you die or kill yourself, you must do all in your power to live and to find new happiness. |
