Again, I'm gonna agree with Szorko here, but on a more specific level: not that patriotism is fucked up, that it is fucked up to represent a very individualistic idea with one symbol, a flag, worse yet, in a country that doesn't entirely give all it's citizens equality. |

I'm gonna agree with Szorko here, more specifically though, Magic Johnson's HIV+ status. |

Sounds like this is either about someone losing thier virginity, (not rape, child molestation, etc.), or maybe someone imitating someone else to the point where it's creepy, or stalker-like. |

I've heard it's about Johnny Marr, but I don't really beleive that, I think it's more about a breakup that Morrisey doesn't want to happen. He wants his lover all to himself. |

Haha, this song sounds to me like a self-criticism...Morrisey talks too much! Also, I've always seen the subject of Morrisey's sexuality debated, and he never quite gave clear answers in interviews, and it just may be about when Johnny Marry spilled the beans in an interview found here:

I absolutely love this song.
It could be about suicide, or simply giving up.
Somehow, I see something very beautiful and happy in this song... |

I think it's about a crossroads where you either completely give up on a situation or completely destroy it. Simple as that. |

This song is about a selfish person who completely rips apart a once beautiful relationship for selfish, personal reasons. Everyone can relate to this one. |

He was expecting something easy and carefree.
That's not what he got.
He was put through hell.
That's what this song's about. |

I believe that this song is about September 11th, as shallow as that may seem to you. |

This song's lyrics accurately describe a way that almost everyone's felt, life and failure flashing before your eyes in a short period of time. Great balance of intensity and mellow in this song. |

Sounds to me like a song about being under the influence of some substance or state of mind and looking desperately for someone who you know won't come, in a very cold and seemingly desolate place...I had this feeling and this song in my head when I went to Canada a few years ago, I love this song. |

"i always detected a reference to the horrors of WWII "- sabertoothedbliss
This sounds about right to me. Maybe from the view of a non-Jewish Polish migrant watching the horrors of the Holocaust?
A truly frightening and complex song. |

This song is about epilepsy, but it also sounds to me like a song about falling in love unexpectedly. Very powerful and amazing song, it's helped me through some hard times here and there. |

I've never really been sure what Ian meant in this song, but it sure means alot to me. This is one of only a few songs that sound "final" or suicidal to me. This song, to me, represents a bittersweet ending to a very epic problem of sorts. This is song that carries so much emotion for me, it's hard to explain. This song is absolutely beautiful. |

I commented on how "3rd Measurement In C" was about a failed engagement, I think the girl fell for Anthony because she lost her virginity to him, and even proposed marriage to him. This song, I think, is him not wanting that relationship and being reluctant to say so and/or do something about it. |

| Fugazi – Returning the Screw Lyrics

I think this song is about an unwanted friendship, or a friendship gone sour, one that in the end pits both involved against each other, maybe getting revenge ("returning the screw") on eachother for something that happened. |

I've always thought that this song was a love song. Not a love song in normal terms, but a song about a relationship. I think Guy wrote the lyrics to this one, so I'd say this is about Guy's relationship with someone, at the time, that he was hopelessly devoted to. I think it states that that person didn't reciprocate to the extent he dvoted to them, and he knew that. But still, he persisted in hopes that the person would "love him back," and he obsessed over that notion and becomes consumed by it. The end of the song marks his realization that he needs to move on to better things, to someone that really deserves his love. It's pretty self-explanatory to me, but I though I'd comment since no one else had, and it's my favorite Fugazi song. |
