Are you serious, Shanimal Cat? It's incredibly straightforward.

Between the Buried and Me – Ad a Dglgmut Lyrics 17 years ago
"btbam=awesome", Tommy isn't saying anything in the first minute, it is just random gibberish that he's screaming. It goes along with the theme of the song, how noise can be beautiful.

The Red Chord – That Certain Special Ugly Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this song is about how to get ahead in life you must be a beautiful person. Experience, skills, and knowledge aren't as important as looks anymore. The people who don't look good, don't succeed as much as those who do look good. Your freedom to grow up to be whatever you want is gone depending on how you were born. This is the problem they are trying to identify.

Underminded – Croatia [2006 Demo Version] Lyrics 18 years ago
On Underminded's Myspace, they say this:

**this song is about prostitutes in foreign countries who knowingly have STD's and specifically target American businessman to spread them to. Tip of the day: Don't fuck what you don't know**

So basically that would be the meaning. Great song, by the way.

Alexisonfire – Happiness By The Kilowatt Lyrics 18 years ago
To me this song is about how television is numbing our minds. Everything points back to staying inside and scheduling your life around TV.

"So this is continuous happiness
You know, I always
Imagined it something more
With the right drapes, the right paints
The right frames, this could really work
What a great day to spend indoors"

The first three lines sound as if he doesn't understand why people can do nothing in their lives but watch TV, because it should be "something more." When your house is set up around your TV as the center of attention you can just get sucked into it.

"Wake, wake up, wake, wake up...."

He's just telling people to realize this isn't the best way to live.

"In a hail of sparks
And a tangle of wires
Everything went wrong"

Goes back to the TV idea, seeing as a television as all kinds of electric things going on inside. It's showing that TV is the source of the problem.

"So where has all the day gone?
And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?
Is there something wrong with the heat?
Why am I so cold?
And my heart feels sick
And it hurts when I speak
And this is not what I hoped for"

Line 1 shows how time flies and is wasted watching TV, and the ailments of speaking, and his heart show the laziness that accompanies you when your life revolves around TV. He regrets that it isn't as great as everyone makes it out to be.

"Was this what we hoped for?"

Asking if this is how we wanted to see ourselves as adults. Instead of having social lives, having fun, contributing to society, we just waste away, spending time on the TV.


This is all just my opinion. Just trying to bring a different possibility to the meaning of this song.

Divide the Day – My Yellow Pages Girl Lyrics 18 years ago
Obviously, it's about calling up your favorite "yellow page girl" for some sex. It hints towards the customer trying for a relationship with the girl, but it's not what she wants.

Between the Buried and Me – The Primer Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this is about how the whole concept of love has become cheap and meaningless. Marriage has gone from being a sacred, once-in-a-lifetime thing to something that you can do as many times as you want without there being anything wrong with that. The entire world is bent on image, and teaches it's young that they should be too.

Between the Buried and Me – Selkies: The Endless Obsession Lyrics 18 years ago
This seems to be about how the shows and lessons taught on television have completely changed the way of life as it is today. Reality shows, for example use people as their puppets, making them jump through hoops or fight each other for our entertainment.
