The Vaccines – Aftershave Ocean Lyrics 13 years ago
You have been struggling to see actuality
Actually, it doesn't surprise me
And you wearing WOV frozen to the core
Unaware of anything awful

But you are pulling the wool over, wouldn't you rather know
That I am overindulging you, it's so easy though

You're not coming up for air
Happier down there
In your aftershave ocean
Life's, difficult to face
Float to your own space
In your aftershave ocean

I could be talking out of line, you could put me straight
And I'd say I don't understand you
You'd say "Oh, ignorance is bliss, come give me a kiss
Come give me a piece of your mind"

'Cause you are pulling the wool over, wouldn't you rather know
That I am overindulging you, it's so easy though

You're not coming up for air
Happier down there
In your aftershave ocean
Life's, difficult to face
Float to your own space
In your aftershave ocean

Oh you are pulling the wool over, wouldn't you rather know
That I am overindulging you, it's so easy though

You're not coming up for air
Happier down there
In your aftershave ocean
I just get water up my nose
And have to dry my clothes
In your aftershave ocean
Life's, difficult to face
Float to your own space
In your aftershave ocean

You're never coming up for air
Happier down there
In your aftershave ocean
Life's, difficult to face
Float to your own space
In your aftershave ocean

Someone changed the lyrics back to the incorrect version after i corrected them so i'll just put them as a comment as well as re-correcting them. the other lyrics are just from a lyric website and don't make sense.

The Vaccines – Aftershave Ocean Lyrics 13 years ago
You know when a guy comes back to his girls place stinking of aftershave and she pretends she doesn't know why he's come back smelling that way and would much rather ignore his infidelities and continue the false relationship. The guy subconsciously wants her to know so he masks the aromas from the other women with more and more aftershave to make it obvious without having to say anything to her face. She ignores it and happily lies to herself. Keeping him in this aftershave ocean.

Lana Del Rey – Carmen Lyrics 14 years ago
This song is about two versions of a girl. 17 years old and 25 years old. They are both analysing and advising each other. They don't know whether they'd prefer a fast living, faux-glamorous life style. Or to settle down, sober up and live a steady life. They dont dislike each other in fact they secretly at times wish they had the others position and they know that the other feels this way. In reality she decides to clean up, write music and become lana del rey. But she could just as easily have became carmen. And be living (or dying) as a beautifully functioning alcoholic hiding White Lightning on the top shelf from those that enjoy her services.

It is truly alarming how disarming a girl can be eating soft ice cream.

Lady GaGa – Heavy Metal Lover Lyrics 14 years ago
She pronounces Lover as LaVa so people will assume she is saying GaGa. If rappers can say their own names on every track why cant she? Self advertisement at its best.

Anyway this song she must be talkin about a guy she's with who loves Heavy Metal and Jameson whisky. And they have lots of bad dirty fun together. I like the fact that the "i could be your girl but would you love me if i ruled the world" line must have been written before the Forbes list was out. Wonder if he still loves her.

Crystal Castles – Doe Deer Lyrics 15 years ago
Alice is a giant android using a powerful laser beam cannon as her weapon. She is destroying a large metropolis, which is now in a state of emergency. The citizens cant do anything to stop her. Soon there is no one left in sight to kill. She begins to communicate electronically with the city. It belongs to her kind now and within hours so will planet Earth. She then searches the rubble for any survivors...
Just before it ends, a frightened infant girl is found crouching in a hole embracing her dead mother like a confused Bambi. When she looks towards Alice, streams of tears are detected by the androids viewing systems. Distress. A bright light shines onto the child's face as the deathray begins to charge up at point blank range. She doesn't scream.

Crystal Castles – I Am Made of Chalk Lyrics 15 years ago

Crystal Castles – Pap Smear Lyrics 15 years ago
the narrator has abortion close to her heart for the probable reason. but is trying to push it away from herself so that she can be clinical about it. she is involved in the practice of abortion but is still uncertain about it as there are so many questions in her mind, it's not a black and white issue. yet she wants to be happy with her life choices. there are also those that do abortion so late the mother has begun to lactate. she doesnt agree with this. but also she doesnt agree with the majority view of people criticising abortion when they havent been through the tough choice themselves. You're innocent at birth... until you understand the things that you may have to do in life.

Crystal Castles – Birds Lyrics 15 years ago
i think it's a song about fear. like what would happen if you suddenly saw a sheet held in the air apparently by a ghost. you'd get a sick feeling in your lower stomach. (or womb). maybe the narrator has a fear of birds. after seeing someone's eyes being gouged out by them in a Hitchcock movie.

Crystal Castles – Suffocation Lyrics 15 years ago
someone wants to commit suicide. they have done things so wrong that they can't take being themselves anymore. maybe they've tried to do it already and didnt succeed and now they are asking to be euthanized. the one who cares for them doesnt want to do it. but is told there is nothing good left in them, and never will be.

Crystal Castles – Empathy Lyrics 15 years ago
this song really reminds me of a pre-apocalyptic world. a person living in a large city. she has a desk job. she doesn't know anybody. her life is monotonous. she tries to be exactly like her colleagues to gain their empathy. she is becoming thinner or maybe even anorexic. and then it comes to light that everyone is just trying to fit in with everyone else. a world full of clones that just exist. civilisation begins to collapse. only a few at the very top who control us benefit. not just the lyrics but the music also, gives me this impression.

Crystal Castles – Intimate Lyrics 15 years ago
yeah those lyrics are right its still difficult to figure out which part is which tho would be good to hear it live.
I reckon its about someone (probably male) who sleeps around or jumps from relationship to relationship or maybe even a sells themselves for sex. they are HIV Positive and giving everyone who they are intimate with the disease. then they die and are explaining what that is like. possibly to their ex lovers.

Crystal Castles – Crimewave Lyrics 17 years ago
CC's lyrics are not meant to be definable. i dont mind that i dont know what the lyrics say but this is what they really do say

Eyes lit on sharp threats from dark lips
But lights press the soft skin to rough hands

i think CC have edited the vocals to suit their own style. the words have been cut so they sound like different words. if you listen to the original this makes more sense

http://www.myspace.com/healthmusic

the last time it is repeated in the remix, which sounds even more distorted, is actually much easier to match to the originals lyrics

for me the new version has been altered to sound something like

I slit
i want short breaths
i've got dark eye lids
i i i i
but the lights rest
like the sun
i begin to repent

which could be a suicide. slit wrists - breathing quickly - looking unwell - lights fade - say a final prayer

White Rose Movement – Girls in the back Lyrics 19 years ago
Since my last post i've changed my mind. particularly after buying the album and understanding that the bands lyrics are quite dark.

I think its about childhood abuse. the lyrics are slightly different in the album cover but not greatly, the one the really strikes out is "I wanna castrate" sometimes altered from "i wanna get straight."

if you think about this idea every part of the song can be put to it. u can here child like voices singing parts of the chorus "toot toot toot." The peodophile may have used games to get to the children, "made a porno of the nativity."

Its disturbing but i'm almost certain that's what these lyrics are hiding.

White Rose Movement – Love is a number Lyrics 19 years ago
OMG i hate the fact that i love this song but can't understand it. i don't even know what love is a number means. argh! then i think, ooo good old songmeanings.net will have the answer.....but as you can see.... and the gimp above didn't even correct the lyrics.

My current theory is that love is just something that occurs spontaneously like it is just a part of natural order and can't be avoided but he wants to avoid it.
one two three four five six seven eight love ...

This song is too good to be misunderstood. Help!

I'm guessing it's just a dance-like track for their gigs (directed to the ppl at the back of the audience) with sly undertones of sadomasochism.
but these lyrics are so hard to interpret like all of their songs.

more people need to add WRM songmeanings here. if you are reading this just leave a hint of what you might think this song means, nothing is wrong.

Maxïmo Park – The Coast Is Always Changing Lyrics 19 years ago
The song is quite nice. trying to clearly understand it only becomes easier when you suggest that this song was written with two narrators in mind. The man and his girl/partner/friend. They are speaking to one another about her/his moving away.

It wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Riposte is a word. A classy one at that. It means retaliation, Retaliation means... just google it. Repast, however, isn't a word.

Glassjaw – Lovebites And Razorlines Lyrics 19 years ago
He makes you believe every word. by the end you hate her as much as he does. the feeling is so there. best bit is just after the 1:00 mark. its not in the lyrics coz it's undecipherable. sounds like he's gonna bite down so hard his teeth will break. like he's got his jaw locked onto her throat. ripping it to pieces. until no breathing. blood everywhere.

That's just my sick mind working over time though. Very refreshing to see such a diverse artist.

The Pussycat Dolls – Beep (feat. Will.I.Am) Lyrics 20 years ago
It does connect.

The verses are her just explaining her situation. She's so hot that ever since seventh grade (a bit twisted actually 11 yrs old!?) she's been an object of desire to men. they all want to do (Ha, ha-ha, ha, ha-ha) unspeakable things with her. but she don't wanna. she don't need to. but she doesn't care if they keep fiending for her. i mean of course girls like to be lusted after. even if they aren't gonna let anything happen.

The song is good. The video version has extra bass on the Boomp-boomp, Omp-omp part which sounds well good. the uk version anyway. Would have been good if each Doll got a chorus, not just three. maybe the others are mute! lol

Rise Against – Life Less Frightening Lyrics 20 years ago
What do you mean by main verse? if you mean chorus...(the repeated one) the backing singer just keeps singing "life less frightnening" otherwise i can't hear anything else.

Anyway. I like to think of this song as a prayer. i never prayed much as a child but if i did i never asked for material things, it was always things like having a particular mind set like no fear or happiness. which is what this song is sayin.

Soaking with sins of knowing is such a classic line for everyone. we feel guilty that we don't help good causes. maybe we should be hung.

The God verse is the main prayer part. it could be seen as a conversation with God. Especially since it says "he". if it said "she" it'd be to a lover. God is filling his mind with fearless purity. Even after is existence was questioned.

This is one of the songs that got me liking this magnificent bunch.

The Magic Numbers – The Mule Lyrics 20 years ago
First post on my fave song!
A confused love. He knows he isn't good enough for her but he doesn't want her to go to "him".
If the girl did put up with all this then she must have really loved him too. but now she's had enough. Got someone else. someone who treats her better but may not hold the same passion as her previous relationship.

The chords on -One more drink and I'll be fine
One more girl to take you off my mind- part suit the song perfectly. Magic numbers are so far better than people think they are. even people who like them. they just hear the music and say, it's cool. but they don't Listen to it. it's well good. Well good.

I imagine they all accidently meet in a club/bar then he keeps havin his one more drink and flirtin with loadsa girls at the other end of the room. after a while his violent tendencies come out then it all kicks off which is shown by the final guitary bit. but he loses the fight and the girl still goes home with "him". Indicated by the final defeatist notes played at the end. Wonder if they meant this? lol

The Magic Numbers – I See You, You See Me Lyrics 20 years ago
It's a nice take on the song and the nice music would have you believe that it was about a friendship turning into romance but i don't think it is, i agree with aj more.
Two people who are kinda both cheats who wouldn't usually fall in love. they fall for each other. and have a rocky relationship. But can never truly part.
I like listening to a song with another persons interpretation in mind, i can see where celestra is coming from.

the video to this song is cool, doesn't stop you believing your own version of the songmeaning like alot of crap videos do.

Rise Against – Dancing for Rain Lyrics 20 years ago
I thought this song was talkin about people hoping and praying for something to happen so much that eventually it just happened on it's own yet they think they had some thing to do with the occurence, like the war ending (which the song has to be about- worlds colliding, distance reminds). Native americans danced for rain which of course didn't help but they believed it did with conviction. Maybe they did cause it. We can do the same and dance for peace to wash away the war/drought (not literally kids). will it be our doing when war ends? probably not directly. but it's better than sitting doing nothin.

After hearing The First Drop you get a better understanding. but doesn't completely wipe out the above. The First Drop could be looked at as the dance for rain/peace. By telling others to join in your calling of the first bit of cleansing and revival of peace.

The songs mean so much but this is the background of it for me. The scene the songs set in my mind are so vast more than any movie or something could ever manage. s'why i love rise against so much. The meloncholy of the Dancing for Rain introduction is like sadly reminiscing a vast arrid landscape. then the song is so angry and challenging like a stampeding people similar to First drop. Gotta have more songs like these on the new album. They so will. Bush getting a second term=unhappy RA members=More hardcore heartfelt politico music for me to obssess over. can't wait. lol.

Garbage – Androgyny Lyrics 20 years ago
All of the above are valid. But for the none sexually confused it is still cool to listen to as just a song about trying to find someone who you wanna be with regardless of rules and perceptions set by society regarding race or socioeconomic class etc and just being a man and going for what you want without being afraid. "Free your Androgyny" she tells her atypical potential mate.

After "A river deep that never runs dry" She says "What you need" repeatedly. If you listen to this with earphones on in stereo it sounds like she's floating slowly around your head. maybe a reference to the birds and bees, or am i overestimating their wit reading into it too much. Nah, i think they meant it. I love that part.
