| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Do You Love Me? Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I don't see it as from a rapist. The song, to me, is about a man and woman who are in love with each other(To the point of getting married, or at least wanting to), but there are relationship tensions here and there which mostly(In his eyes, anyways) come from her while he tries to be perfect to her in every way he is able to. As the song goes on he becomes more submissive and she takes more liberties with her domination over him and eventually he loses her. He isn't surprised and she isn't remorseful |

| Placebo – Space Monkey Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Going off on a limb, the second line may be a reference to The Pixies - Planet of Sound ( http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=43099 ) | |
| Atom and His Package – The Palestinians Are Not The Same Thing As The Rebel Alliance, Jackass Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The point of the song is that a lot of people will jump on the Palestinian's side without actually thinking about the issue(Or just because J. Random Blogger posts in their favor - "Add inane, hip arguments when it comes to your turn") just because "they're the little guys standing up for themselves," even though they use tactics like suicide bombings in heavily populated areas. | |

I agree with k0rkad, in a way. I think this song is an expression with boredom in the world and the people around him. "Each household appliance is like a new science in my town" - Every time something new yet unimportant happens, everyone talks about it like it cold fusion. "I'd like to drop my trousers...(both lines)" - He'd like to do something extraordinary to give the people something that would be worth talking about. "And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion..." - And if someone ever talked about something particularly interesting, he would probably be so shocked that he might jump in the ocean. "And when I'm lying in my bed..." - Clear enough, when he thinks about living with the monotonous world that he does, it's not such a grand idea. Nor is the thought of dying. "And when a train goes by it's such a sad sound" - The sound of a train likely gives him the thought of someone escaping to some far-off exotic adventure. "The poor and the needy are selfish and greedy on her terms" - These are the only two lines I'm having trouble thinking of a meaning for. Possibly that he is so fed up with hearing about how bad these poor and needy people have it. Also, possibly what Guerilla posted. |

| The Clarks – On Saturday Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The song, if you ask me, is about a girl who is trying to break up with him. She thinks that this will be somewhat of a big deal to him and tries to break the news to him gently(And she said it's not you I just need my space). The light tone of the song and the rest of the lyrics lend to the idea that it's not an issue to him and that he'd rather start anew, because he knows that he'll be just fine without her. | |
