| Fall Out Boy – W.A.M.S. Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| The first part of the "soul" bit is most probably "If we don't take medication, we won't sleep for days, we won't sleep for days." | |
| Fall Out Boy – 27 Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I can't believe it took me this long to realize, but 27 is a reference to the 27 Club. Many famous musicians and actors died (often of drug overdoses) at age 27. This song's about Pete's problems with prescription drugs, I guess. "My body is an orphanage, we take everyone in..." all the drugs... | |
| Saves the Day – Through Being Cool Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
So many songs today (and in years past) are about relationships gone bad between boys and girls. I really like "Through Being Cool" because it details a bad relationship- a bad friendship, or simple hate- between two boys. It's how you feel about your friends and what you do when they betray you- and that's a nice change from "She broke my heart." I've read the roommate story, but I think in general, this is about a friend- a backstabbing friend, and a self-centered friend who just can't see past his own nose. Nick, for whatever reason, is talking smack about Chris, and Chris doesn't want to sit there and take it anymore- he's through being cool. He's so sick of Nick's narrow-mindedness and wants Nick to just realize how wonderful the whole WORLD is, and he doesn't; and Chris just can't take it anymore. |

| Aerosmith – Walk This Way Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think the line "was a real young bleeder" means she got her period earlier than most girls, and therefore reached sexual maturity earlier than most girls, and then became very "experienced" with guys. | |
| Fall Out Boy – You're a Concrete Boy Now (Do Your Part to Save the Scene and Stop Going to Shows) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This is, I believe, the back story of the alternate name. Some time before From Under the Cork Tree was to be released (and therefore before Fall Out Boy reached fame), the album leaked. One of the songs on the album was, "You're a Concrete Boy Now (Do Your Part to Save the Scene and Stop Going to Shows)." When the official, hard copy of the album was released in stores, the first part of the title had been changed to "Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying." The part in parentheses remained the same. Just a working title for the song that was ultimately changed. |

| Tally Hall – The Bidding Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| During the "I promise I'll be all you ever need," through the "I will never let you down," it sounds like they're sampling a song (probably a classical song). Could anybody tell me which? | |
| Coheed and Cambria – The End Complete II: Radio Bye Bye Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
It's so confusing to see "Claudio" and think "Sanchez?" yet you mean Kilgannon. Well, I haven't really had time to follow the whole storyline, but I can say that I really like this song. Musically, it's great, and Claudio's voice is amazing- especially when he's singing "it's the curse of the radio bye bye." |

It should be "but I made do" Minor adjustment. Sack-religious! I just got that! *dies laughing* Yeah, pretty much love this song. |

| Downtown Brown – Sit in the Pit Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Sounds like some Blink-182 references. Parts remind me of the Rock Show, parts remind me of Dammit. "I guess this is growing up," is a line from Dammit, correct? Since it's a local band, 89X plays them a lot- that's how I found out about DTB, and hey, they're pretty good. |

| Fall Out Boy – Short, Fast, and Loud Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
God, I think "Good god, I wish I was tall" is just the catchiest line ever. *sighs* A lot of the boardies don't care for the really early FOB stuff, "it sucks! shitty recording!" but I think it's kind of cute. And yeah, that "wish I was tall" can be literal. Apparently, Patrick Stump (who wrote the lyrics for this CD) is only 5'4''-ish in size. (I'm 5'5" at the ripe age of 14 and I've still got growing to do...) |

| Fall Out Boy – Thnks fr th Mmrs Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
And yes, Fallen Leaves, you might use vowels, but I think the idea is "slutty exes/ex-best friends who have no time for the likes of you" don't. Personally, I like the title. And siknutz, who said he was dating Ashlee Simpson? This song could very well be a cry out against how everyone thinks he is. :| |

| Fall Out Boy – Thnks fr th Mmrs Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I always had this inkling it was about Hey Chris. Of course, it could easily be about media interference in Pete's life; always being expected to act a certain way. It could be about both, of course. The video seems to support the media interference idea- the pressure to conform to the norm- of course, the video itself could be one massive twist of the nature, the media wants a song about how the media sucks- not a song about Hey Chris. Or none of my theories could be correct. See, a lot of parts key in with Hey Chris- but "collecting Page Six lovers-" people are going bonanzas with Pete and supposed bad-girl relationships. |

| Paramore – Misery Business Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I'm confused. At first I thought it went like this- a girl's interested in a guy, but this other "whore" shows up and grabs him. She waits a while but finally they're together and the whore is FURIOUS. Victorious girl gives her the metaphorical equivalent of a bitchslap, right? But then I heard the introduction, Hayley talking about some shameful things. Now, it's sort of shameful to gloat over some whore, but I was thinking. What if the whore and the girl were enemies- and the girl didn't necessarily like the guy; she just got him to give the whore a real slap in the face and get revenge. Now if that's not super-shameful I don' t know what is. |

| Jimmy Eat World – Goodbye Sky Harbor Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I've never actually read "A Prayer For Owen Meaney" which is, according to Wikipedia (and the lot of you) the inspiration from this song. However, I have seen large chunks of the movie based on the book, "Simon Birch." Again as Wikipedia sagely tells me it is rather different from the book, and I've only seen parts of it, but I did pick up on "I am but one small instrument." Definately Simon Birch/Owen Meaney. Yes, I can believe that backstory. I think though I'm going to go buy Owen Meaney, and maybe this CD. To be honest, I've never actually heard the song, but just read about it on Wikipedia and decided to trot over here and discuss it. | |
| Fall Out Boy – I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me and You) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Alright, to nit-pick, in the lyrics booklet the exact spelling of "intact" is in tact. With a space. I think if it's not a misspelling it's significant. It could mean intact- it could be a misprint- he could just be meaning hopes/hearts and wrists are whole. Or, maybe it's a double meaning, or "in tact" is purposeful. In tact, as in with tact, you approach the situation and try and save the relationship (and your hearts/hopes and wrists). | |
| Fall Out Boy – Hum Hallelujah Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The road outside my house Is paved with good intentions Hired a construction crew 'Cause it's hell on the engine Well it depends whether it's officially "hired" or "hire the" as both make a difference. But I think it's saying that, although the road outside his house (any road really) is paved with his good intentions, he has none, so it's hell on the engine. If he "hired" the construction crew, it tried to fix it, and it either worked or didn't. If he wants to "hire the" construction crew then he wants help. The teenage vow in the parking lot- a vow to himself. Teenage, maybe immaturity, or isolation as felt as a teenager. And obviously something to do with the Best Buy thing. "Til' tonight do us part" when they had to pump his stomach? Also, "Remix of your guts, your insides X-rayed" could be the x-rays, and the chaos it wreaked on his body. "I thought I loved you, it was just how you looked in the light." Illusions; things he thought were right, or one way, and they weren't. Is it just me or is "Golden" the perfect closer to this song, at least lyrically? |

| Head Automatica – Graduation Day Lyrics | 19 years ago |

You could always just go to www.purevolume.com/headautomatica and listen (but not download) the album there. They've got the whole thing posted. Graduation Day, Graduation Day We take back everything we said too... It sounds like "true" to me. Unless he's slurring the lyrics on purpose. |

| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Especially in Michigan Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Oh, does the beginning remind anyone else of "Edmund Fitzgerald," at about nine seconds in and beyond? I don't know why, but listening to the song, I just thought "Edmund Fitzgerald." | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Especially in Michigan Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I missed BOTH the sports and the "fat state" references and I AM a Michigan resdident (but not born here). Wow, uh. I guess the "just to steal your luck" part has something to do with the Lions and Tigers not being too lucky, as in they aren't very good teams right now. Thank god for the Pistons and the Red Wings. The northern winds, and the mitten references... |

| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Scar Tissue Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is really an awesome song in my opinion. I first heard it on some radio station in Canada, and I thought it was really awesome. I heard it again and desperately Googled "with the birds I"ll share this lonely viewin'" trying to find out what it was called (I didn't pick up on the "Scar tissue that I wish you saw" line). That was sometime in August. Then, one day much later (October? November?) I ended up on some guy's Myspace and he had the song playing. It was so so cool to finally figure out what the song was. It always reminded me of flying free, "with the birds I'll share this lonely view" and seeing the world, being soft and lonely, travelling through water and leaving only the faintest ripple behind. |

| Fall Out Boy – A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More "Touch Me" Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
deCorAteDemergency, you brilliantly tied up the music video and song together. That's so cool, I didn't see all those connections. But I've just got something to point out. The cops in the cop car are vampires, so I think it's representing about how even the police are corrupted by vampires the infestion is so out of hand, not how adults are always misbelieving teenagers. If you look closely they've got fangs. My guess is that they're on the vampire that turned Pete into a vampire's side. |

| Fall Out Boy – Sugar, We're Goin Down Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
There are always the lyrics that Pete's singing on backup. (Take aim at myself) We're goin' down, down in an earlier round (Take back what you said) And sugar, we're goin' down swingin' (Take aim at myself) I'll be your number one with a bullet A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it. If you look at it that way it makes plenty of sense... and even part of that confusing video does. The part when the deerboy is about to cut off an antler is basically suicide to him, as "taking aim at myself" would be... "A loaded god complex [handgun], cock it and pull it." |

| The All-American Rejects – Swing, Swing Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is fairly simple to interpet. The All-American Rejects don't mess around much and get their meaning out there with, as one previous commenter remarked, "The depth of a sixth grader's journal." Harsh, but yes, the lyrics are simply put. The song's about a girl who broke a boy's heart, and now he's turning to a new girl "I'll find someone new" who can bring him up again and together they can "Swing, swing from the tangles of my heart." The boy, at first, is heartbroken and can only think of the girl that once loved him. Gradually as the song progresses, his new love helps him carry on. Personal Notes: As previous commenters have said, the "tangles of my heart" sounds like the "tables of my heart." Yup, I thought that too. Also, I confused "former love" for "form of love" or maybe "formula." |

| Fall Out Boy – Dance, Dance (Demo) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
My cousin showed up with this on her Zen Micro. I thought something was a bit fishy, and as soon as the "song stuck in your head" verse came in I knew it wasn't the "real" version of "Dance, Dance." But yes, I absolutely love the Demo. It hasn't been altered in a studio, it's all desperate, and there's a cool verse in it. I like both "Dance, Dance" versions just as much, but this one definately has cool points. I just took about twenty minutes to download the demo of "Dance, Dance." It was time well spent, believe me. |

| Fall Out Boy – A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More "Touch Me" Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
PunkWillNeverDie, I totally agree. There's definately guitar chords that remind of Sk8r Boi. I love this song and think it's a brilliant third single for Fall Out Boy. I've listened to it about four hundred million times and I only got the C.D. on Friday (and it's Sunday now for me). The whole "Kiss her, kiss her", in the music video, seems to be related to vampires kissing their victims to turn them into vampires. But that's just the music video. "I don't blame you for being you, but you can't blame me for hating it" |

| Simple Plan – Addicted Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I like this song. It's a stringy little harmonic thing. Simple Plan has fun saying whatever they want to say and that makes me happy, even if the song is about depressing things. By the way, I believe the lyrics are not, in fact, "I'm a dick" but "I'm addic" as in, "I'm addicted." It sure sounds like "I'm a dick" and it'd make sense that way but I'm pretty sure it's "I'm addic." I'm done. |
