| Kevin Drew – Farewell to the Pressure Kids Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I just saw BSS recently in Portland, and I noticed that Kevin changes a lot of lyrics to a lot of the songs. I don't know if he makes them up on the spot based on the crowd/surroundings, etc...or just has a bunch of different lyrics he throws in there.
The lyrics live are also usually much more amazing and relevant to our lives. I think he does this because he doesn't really care to give everyone his real messages.
In this song he definitely said, "The pressure kids, they all need to be themselves. Oh they're givin in. My pressure kids, they all need to dream themselves. So they lie (or lay) and hear themselves. Oh they're givin' in. The pressure kids. They all need to lead themselves. Get on your knees and lead yourselves. Oh they're givin' in. The pressure kids. They all need to dream themselves. So they lie(not sure) and lead themselves."
Also, they closed the show with "it's all gonna break" and he added in lyrics from cause=time and some others in the middle of the song. Like: if you always get up late you're never gonna be ontime." And he added lyrics from Major label debut, but instead of saying "you laughed when you came down" I'm pretty damn sure he said, "I think you got your life when you came down." I was tripping, but I'm pretty damn sure. It blew my mind. Oh, and he threw in new lyrics that say, "makin' it work takes a little longer. makin' it work takes a little time." Best show ever. See them.
A lot of the lyrics, esp. on Spirit if sound a lot different to me than the lyrics I've read, and I listened to the album a LOT before I ever read the lyrics. I think it's all on purpose and some of the written lyrics are just changed to hide the real ones or real meaning. |

Musicians like this probably write the song about a lot more than most listeners would think. This song could be about all human beings making powerful choices in the face of fear and resignation to repair all of the relationships in our lives and our relationships between groups, countries, the government and the people (and organizations) and relationships with significant others, family, etc. It's just about us embracing our power to make powerful choices toward progress and love every moment of our lives. |

| Young Galaxy – Outside The City Lyrics

Nah I couldn't really say I agree. On some level, but I think they're saying that once she got outside of the mental trap that we are living in within modern society (possibly by physically living a city and looking back, or not) she saw that the way she was living her life was part of the problem, not the solution. People just are not contientious about life and the media keeps us from thinking for ourselves. The human race is spiraling downward and could regress drastically or go extinct within a matter of years. We need to live our lives for everyone, because "I am you and you are me" anyway. That's what I think. |

No Emily Haines is the singer of Metric. I think this song has biblical references about people not knowing what is coming in the near future with regards to spiritual battles. Most music discusses these things although the artists may not realize it. |

I've never even heard this cd ever, but this is obviously Emily Haines. I listen to all of the bands from that scene, they all play in eachother's bands all the time. |

| Stars – Set Yourself on Fire Lyrics
| 20 years ago

I guess i think this song is talking about how we are all constantly trying to break free from the pains of this life, but we can't have everything we want to we have to make sacrifices.
The ending part is most likely talking about how we need to live life to the fullest, because since we probably already spend 20 years of our lives sleeping (i guess, at 7 hours a day or something) we need to fill every waking hour with memorable, wonderful experiences.
just my 2 cents... |
