| Our Lady Peace – Monkey Brains Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Wow...yeah best not to ever read OLP's interpretations of their songs! I was thinking it was returning to the late-nineties sound and lyrics from their third and fourth album, a little paranoid, a little alien, a little political. It also reminds me of Black 'big green moneky, everyone's a junkie'! | |
| Our Lady Peace – All You Did Was Save My Life Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| AGREED! I have loved all of their CDs and even my least favourites of their songs (mostly those released on the radio like 'Somewhere Out There') are still songs that I would rather listen to than so much of the other stuff out there. OLP is my #1 all time favourite band. =D | |
| Our Lady Peace – Wipe That Smile Off Your Face Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It's amusing that people need to classify a 'hardcore' fan by generalizing. I've loved all of their cds. While I like some songs better than others, so long as it's OLP, I'd rather listen to them than any other band out there. Now that's a true hardcore fan lol. I agree with Acesorcer17, Raine voice is just *shivers in a good way* ^^ |

| Luna Sea – I For You (english) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I want to tell you, from my heart If I was able to look at your smile forever I love you from my heart I want to collect the light that falls on you Everything is I for you You know, it's said that No one, no one is really able, to love When I first met you I was scared Finally I understood, what that means Since then we've hurt each other, so much that if If we were to meet now, it would be way too sad With all of my heart I just want to tell you Surely, if you could just, wish for your true self I for you Even now you still laugh clumsily Because the sadness still, suits you If I was born only Only to meet, you I wonder if I could, change, for you With all of my heart I just want to tell you You've been hurt too much, but we'll still, make it in time With all of my heart, I love only you I want to wipe away the pain, the pain that falls on you Everything, is I for you With all of my heart I just want to tell you If I was able to look, at your smile forever With all of my heart I love, I love only you I want to collect the light, the light that falls over you Everything is I for you I for you |

| Kate Bush – The Red Shoes Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Actually this is based on a Grimm Brother's fairytale called 'The Red Shoes'. >_> | |
| Eisley – Many Funerals Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I thought this song was about suicide and how devastated the person's friends are because of it. | |
| Evans Blue – Saturnalia Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Saturnalia was what the Roman's called their Winter Solstice festival. It was a celebration of a horned god, Saturnalia. 'Ancient Pagan Fertility Rite' is another way of describing it. Basically, a drunken night, then later in Roman history a whole week, of debauchery. Sound like fun? Well for slaves and servants it sure was! They were able to gamble and talk down to their master(s). A night of role-reversal without *fingers crossed* consequences. The religious aspect of the festival was that the Horned One/Saturnalia would impregnate Mother Earth and ensure a good harvest for the coming year since the Winter Solstice marks the end of winter and longer days of light. In actuality, the song reminds me of James VI of Scotland, James I of England. Why? Well because, despite passing an act against sodomy, James, shall we say, had quite a group of male attendants (even in the toilet!) and close, favoured male 'friends' he er...well the Divine Right of Kingship's all I have to say...*coughs* His court, to put it mildly, was corrupt (Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot anyone? haha) Many of the court masques at the time refer to him as Jupiter, but if you view Saturn as Greek Cronus, then he ruled during the Golden Age (which was actually what the people called Elizabeth's time, except when James wanted his rule to be the 'New Golden Age') before Zeus/Jupiter overthrew him...*insert dramatic music* |

| Is it really 'rained all night' or ought it be 'reigned' since it's referring to reigning Queen of Siam?? | |

| Our Lady Peace – Under Zenith Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I just think this song is fucking brilliant. Lyrics open for interpretation, vocals kick ass. Correction: 'under but not TOO far' ;) |
|
| Our Lady Peace – Julia Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song reminds me of Automatic Flowers. I think it's the same woman in both songs. I kept thinking it was about someone's mother who had left or died when they were young. Spousal abuse was involved. There are quite a few songs related to this, so I almos thought it was about Raine's mother. I have not found any evidence to support this claim. ;) | |
| Eisley – Telescope Eyes Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| For me this is also a song about the hypocrisy of wanting to fit in and still maintain your autonomy. You want to be with the popular kids, want them to notice you and like you, but at the same time you like being different and want to remain an individual, retaining your idiosyncrasies. | |
| Eisley – They All Surrounded Me Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This is just like medieval dream vision poetry. The knight falls asleep, dreaming of the imaginary adventure he'll have. Alas, we don't know what happens when the knight truly wakes up... It also reminded me of the Jabberwocky from Lewis Carroll, though there is no slaying of any beasts. ;) |

| Eisley – Lady of the Wood Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song reminded me instrisically of medieval fairy tales. I see the man as the angel of death (' ripped his wing off of his arm' fallen angel perhaps?) who has come for the lady who has is down the well. (Was she pushed? Was it suicide?) The scarecrows represent the people who stop and stare at her body, but aren't physically able to do anything. Another interpretation would be that this man loved the woman who he finds had fallen down a well and decides to follow her in death, 'keeling forward and he fell'. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance these sort of deaths were more frequent than you might imagine. Lyrics correction: 'Her pretty broken wrist was clutched under her fist. Her ankles were all wound about a silver gown.' |
