| My Bloody Valentine – Only Shallow Lyrics

the lyrics to this song don't make a whole lot of sense -- it's on the edge of a dream. that said, the entire album is arguably the ultimate soundtrack for making out and fvcking. I wish I had a copy of this CD when I was in college.... |

| Sonic Youth – Poison Arrow Lyrics
| 16 years ago

live, Thurston introduced "Poison Arrow" as a "love song", but he might have said "Love song", as in Courtney Love. I don't mean to suggest that Thurston was ever romantically interested in Love, but just as the earlier SY song "Junkie's Promise" was at least partially inspired by Kurt Cobain, "Poison Arrow" could be a third-person observation of Courtney Love as a "femme fatale" (or trainwreck, depending on your POV). |

| Black Flag – Black Coffee Lyrics

I always thought the line went, "Anger and coffee, feeding me"....
regardless, a truly great song to drive fast to. Rollins' WM3 'cover' is one the best songs on that comp. |

supposedly the original name for this song was "hot rod death toll," but someone (Ben?) suggested "Ty Cobb", because they're both short and nasty. great song.... |

great song, but it really sucks that it's still topical and relevant thanks to Dubya the warmonger. if Bush really believed his "war of choice" in Iraq was just, then why haven't his daughters volunteered for the Army? think of the example that would set! oh nevermind, they leave that role to the poor. |

supposedly, this song was written about John Doe's affair with Germs bassist Lorna Doom, at a time when he and Exene Cervenka were still together. creepy lyrics, but great song.... |

is there a drug reference in here (e.g., the "war on drugs")? I forget when it was that Ginn starting hitting the bong again, but "the process of weeding out" is definitely a pot reference (among other things) |

awesome song, but these aren't even close to the correct lyrics (unless you're on crack, I guess). sample: "no time like the present, to get ripped apart" |

this song is supposedly among many on TCATS that were written about/after Dave Grohl's divorce, and after going through divorce myself it went from a good song to a GREAT song. |

Frodus experienced more than the average amount of adversity on the road, and this song sums it up. good song, though. |

| Rites of Spring – For Want Of Lyrics
| 19 years ago

the line "if there's nothing here, then it's probably mine" says so much about nothing....
and to skillfire -- I was aware of what "emo" meant back in 1995, and most intelligent people agree that RoS was in fact the first "emo" (or "emo-core") band. read the book "dance of days", or get someone to read it to you. |

| Rites of Spring – Hain's Point Lyrics
| 19 years ago

I used to think this was merely a decent song, but like much of the second Foo Fighters CD, its meaning became so much deeper after going through a divorce. Rites of Spring was all about total emotional release, and to me this song is their best -- when I hear the opening chords, the hair on the back of my neck starts to stand up, and by the time the vocals kick in I've got chills running all the way down my body. oh yeah, if you're ever in DC, rent a bike and visit Hain's Point (at the eastern tip of East Potomac Park) and its larger-than-life sculpture, "The Awakening". |
