Gorillaz – DARE Lyrics 15 years ago
It seems to me that it is expressing masturbation as a worry-free alternative to sex. Knowing how to do it yourself prevents sex-driven relationships and STDs.

Whether or not it is the true meaning; it still works.

The Strokes – Ize of the World Lyrics 16 years ago
It really seems to me that the ending that gets cut off is also shown in the first half, making the last line

"Generations to desensi-"

interesting because the fury lines come right before them followed by something horrible, followed by getting censored.

"YOUNG ADULTS TO MODERNIZE!
(Citizens to terrorize)
Generations to desensit-"

and

"FURY TO TRANQUILIZE!
(weapons to synchronize)
cities to vapor-"

just kind of puts the entire perspective into place. like saying 'you can notice the problems, but act out and try to make a difference and we will stop you'

scary truth there mhm mhm

perhaps if you focused on being a good person rather than a successful person then you would on the inside of that rather than the outside crying.

Atreyu – When Two Are One Lyrics 18 years ago
"to simplify
I'll stand by your side
close my eyes
hope will never die"

These words sum up the entire song: When two people are so perfectly matched that there is no other explanation than the fact that they are meant to be together.

I agree, best song on the album. I can't wait to mosh during the solo in this song and the 2 in Doomsday.

The Rocket Summer – Cross My Heart Lyrics 18 years ago
I believe that this song is about a guy and a girl in a normal steady relationship but something happens and they go too far physically "that night" and made one of them uncomfortable enough to get upset.

Rise Against – Prayer Of The Refugee Lyrics 19 years ago
Many of you have very nice interpretations of this song, but I believe the video makes it very clear.


This song is about America not needing slave labor/cheap alternatives for anything. They are saying that we are strong enough to provide all of our own materials and creations.


"Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew."

Be patient for us to turn our society back into a self-sustained country as we were when we started.

"Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch."

The self-sustained lifestyle we had and loved is gone.

"We are the angry and the desperate,
The hungry, and the cold,
We are the ones who kept quiet,
And always did what we were told."

We aren't getting the support of our own society, everyone has to rely on themselves, even if it means working for severly low pay and living without the nutrition and warmth we all deserve.

"But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm,
In the safety of your home.
We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything you’ve known."

The majority is ignoring the fact that people are still being used as slaves and aren't provided with essiential needs. Some of the rest of us realize that most people don't live life happily or comfortable and are trying to undo our society's way of thinking into being more generious and giving, whether through higher pays, benefits, donations, etc.

"So open your eyes child,
Let’s be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way."

The third-world countries and uncivilized living conditions are proof enough that we need to re-prioritize, adding each others welfare into higher considerations.

"Keep quiet no longer,
We’ll sing through the day,
Of the lives that we’ve lost,
And the lives we’ve reclaimed."

After learning of these conditions, they are asking you to spread the word any way possible, speaking of the good and the bad; the lives we have lost from non-generosity and the lives we have restored from generosity.

"Don’t hold me up now,"

Don't use cheap labor, unsafe conditions, or exploit another country to help your bank account.

"I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,"

We, as a country, are powerful enough to provide all of our own materials and don't need to rely on anyone other than for stuff that isn't native to us.

"You won't let me down, down, down!"

Don't exploit other humans for your own benefit, don't let our species down.
