| Mudhoney – Into Yer Shtik Lyrics
| 18 years ago

It seems like it's about people who've sold out and abandoned thier integrity for fame or money or whatever. "The blow your brains out too" does seem like its about Kurt to me, which makes me think the first verse is about the lovely Ms. Love (Please don't let this turn into a murder debate like EVERY Nirvana song.) I don't think it's necassarily disrespectful to Kurt it just seems like they're saying "Why don't you follow this trend aswell?" Also the timing is all wrong and I know this isn't what Mudhoney had in mind when this song was written but that first verse reminds me so much of the current emo phase we're in with music at the moment. Maybe once a genre goes mainstream it becomes like this as almost a default. |

"This song is about everything flannel and thermal" - Mark Arm on the live version of this song found on Hype! I know it was just an off the cuff thing he said but I thought I'd add it in. |

This song sums up the frustration I have for people who aspire to be stupid clones, all they care about is shallow things and thier own tiny lives. "No one gives a fuck about the values I would die for" is like saying nobody cares about anything thats important anymore. "Not the faceless civil servant or rudimentry crack whore" is like saying he only has contact with people who are either completely corrupted and mindless ie. "faceless civil servant" or the other extreme of someone who has removed themselves completely from society "a rudimentry crack whore." "Give them something to die for" is like syaing give them a purpose, give them a mind and some passion to care about something, and the final line of the chorus "give me something to die for" is a critique of himself and how even he can be as apathetic as the people he is singing about. What do you guys think? |

This song is available on the Sub Pop 200 compilation cd. If anybody is interested in the whole "grunge" thing this cd is really worth a listen. That's all! |

| Soundgarden – Sub Pop Rock City Lyrics

This song basically describes the seattle rock scene in the late 80's. Sub Pop is an independant record label best known for signing such bands as Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Tad, Screaming Trees, Beat Happening, Green River and the mighty Nirvana. Jonathan Poneman and Bruce Pavitt are the bosses of the label. Sub Pop was notoriously bad at managing money in its early days. This is referenced in the part of the song involving Pavitt. This song to me appears to be making fun of the scene "Cool give it dude were plastic like you" but at the same time embracing it "When Im in the mood I could think of playing there going to seattle where the rock's so heavy." This song is very different to what would br released from soundgarden in later years especially when compared to thier biggest hit "black hole sun". |

| Marilyn Manson – The Death Song Lyrics

I think this is about people sacrificing themselves for religion. "we take a pill, get a face
buy our ticket
and we hope that heaven's true" this suggests religious extememism to me |

I think this song is about how people percive manson and make up lies to fuel their hatred of him. He appears to sing these lyrics sarcastically " I am the face of piss and shit and sugar" I think when he sings "I do a funny little dance with a crooked little monkey" he is talking about how they'd prefer it if he dumbed down and mindlessley amused them instead of challenging their views like he does! |

| Marilyn Manson – Disposable Teens Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
I was wondering why a man like Manson was singing about disposable "teens" when he is clearly a middle aged man. Maybe he is making a direct attack at the theory of creationism by suggesting that the human race is only in its adolecent stages. The lyrics suggest a description of humanity to me. "and I'm a black rainbow
and I'm an ape of god
I got a face that's made for doing violence upon
I'm a teen distortion
survived abortion
a rebel from the waist down" |
