| Soundgarden – Outshined Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
First off yes this is an older song/post.. oh well Anyway the song is about him being a rock star and how that lifestyle can break/make you. Here: I got up feeling so down (the lifestyle can get to you) I got off being sold out (being sold out to a crowd is the best feeling the world, makes you high) I've kept the movie rolling(keep playing for the fans) But the story's getting old now(this gets old after awhile, having to write songs and then play in front of your fans) I just looked in the mirror(can this go on forever?) Things aren't looking so good(I need something to help me out, like drugs) I'm looking California(on tour) And feeling Minnesota (just had that rush from Minnesota, yeah a sold out crowd and I am still feeling it) So now you know, who gets mystified (not you my dear fans but I am the one that is really entertained.) Show me the power child, I'd like to say That I'm down on my knees today It gives me the butterflies, gives me away Till I'm up on my feet again I'm feeling outshined (With this, the power child are the fans but when I feel like quiting I visualize the fans and it helps, a lot. Until I am not depressed. “up on my feet again”) Someone let the dogs out(metaphor, talking about the way you feel, like letting the cat out of the bag.) They'll show you where the truth is(can't get help until you say something to someone) The grass is always greener Where the dogs are shedding I'm feeling that I'm sober Even though I'm drinking I can't get any lower Still I feel I'm sinking (The grass is greener on the other side yes the dogs defecating on the grass will make the grass greener but it's not worth walking on even if the end results in a prettier grass, or in other words the whole band is feeling the stress but he doesn't know that so what's the point of trying to talk about to them? They look like they are having fun. So he continues to drink but this does nothing for what he is feeling and alcohol make the depression worse.) |

| Eminem – Cleaning Out My Closet Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy, That's what he had. Doesn't this song piss you off? He should be grateful, after all if it wasn't for his momma he wouldn't be where he is today. If his life was clean cut he'd be another Vanilla Ice. I wonder if he'll ever do some hardcore gansta rap. | |
| Stone Temple Pilots – Lady Picture Show Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I would have to agree with you guys for the most part... Back in the early days peep shows and whore houses... I think he might be speaking on one of those women. Don't know. Maybe a street walker by night and wife by day? :( | |
| The Nixons – Sister Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song is about one of the band members sister. She died when she was young and he still remebers the good days he had with her "Sister I see you Dancing on the stage of memory" I would also think he has seen her ghost or that her ghost visits him by this phrase: "Fleeting visits pass Still they satisfy Reminders of the next overshadow goodbye" And further he talks about how their souls speak across the miles. The ocean represents the distance between this world and the next. It has nothing to do with this realm in time. As far as him breathing in and blood flowing part, all that he is saying is that he lives on with her inside him. | |
