Everclear – One Hit Wonder Lyrics 17 years ago
They can't hurt you unless you let themthe machine is the corporate world, and the monster is the media- the kind of go hand in hand. that's why "loopy" is so eager to "bite down hard to make the monster cry, sell his soul to make the monster dance, and stomp like god to make the monster say: they can't hurt you unless you let them". even though people may have mocked him and whatnot, he kept going, and now he's the one at the top of the charts, or whatever

in my *personal* opinion, to really get the TRUE effect of this song, your parents have to be divorced and you have had to have gone through it.

Everclear – Sunflowers Lyrics 18 years ago
i see this as a 'you're just like me, and with that information i know you'll screw up' type song, and it's tearing art up inside because he wants his daughter (or whoever this is coming from; an older sibling to a younger, a parent to a child, etc.) to not make the same mistakes he did and to be happier as a child, because they're the best years of your life

Everclear – Song from an American Movie, Pt. 2 Lyrics 18 years ago
that and he's come to realize that he doesn't need to care or worry about what every one else thinks because he's got a great daughter, and from his rough childhood he can raise her right and learn from past mistakes

i love how much he cares about his daughter-and i think this song is saying "hey, i dont know a whole lot, but i can understand a good thing when i see one"

Everclear – TV Show Lyrics 18 years ago
i agree with Theo Reo in the sense that when we see a reality TV show (i.e. the brady bunch) they don't have problems like divorce and child abuse and drugs and such. art is saying that he'd like to get away from his own childhood (as messed up as it was) and zap himself into one of those shows-where at the end of every episode, everything's fine.

Everclear – Strawberry Lyrics 18 years ago
uh huh. i remember being really little and sitting in the car listening to this song. now that i can actually understand it, i like it a whole lot more. this song comes from art's experience (yet again) but everyone can learn from it. the message is plain and simple: DON'T DO DRUGS.

Everclear – Hating You For Christmas Lyrics 18 years ago
i always pictured this song as a man's first x-mas without his ex-wife and he's singing this to say yeah, that was fun, but this is a whole lot funner (i know it's not a word; i'm not a retard)

Hawthorne Heights – Silver bullet Lyrics 18 years ago
andrew7667- what they mean by 'more upbeat' is it has a faster tempo- you should check out the rest of the album

i agree with everyone who likes the acoustic version. they're both good, but its a good change every now and then.

and to everyone who said this is about a relationship, listen to Sunny Day Believer, who said exactly what I wanted to say. in the extended version, JT said that this was about the pressure he was under with his music and a whole lot of other stuff

A Perfect Circle – The Noose Lyrics 18 years ago
in the commentary for this on aMotion, Maynard says that this is about people who go through rehab and think highly of themselves because they supposedly overcame an addiction. the halo part is in reference to someone who recovered having a high and mighty attitude and thinking, 'i've recovered, what did YOU do with YOUR life?' while everyone else wants to choke them for being a prissy little jackass. it's one thing to recover and admit you made crappy choices-it's another thing to recover and act like your addiction never happened in the first place.

Everclear – Why I Don't Believe In God Lyrics 18 years ago
if you listen to this song along with Father of Mine and a handful of other ones, you can really see how art likes to piece his life into songs and distribute it to the world; what i find sad is that a lot of people don't know that he's writing based off of experience
