Rocks all the same!!

Jack Johnson – Traffic In The Sky Lyrics 19 years ago
I always took this track to be saying, "look, were putting so much crap in our atmosphere, plane emissions etc, its killing our world. If we dug down and looked at the evidence of our former climates then we would know where were heading" I'm no tree hugger and i can understand everyone mentioning september 11th, but i think there's a deeper vein in this song.

Oh and nina - the meaning is, not was, whatever you take from listening to it as an individual :-)

The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Hear My Train A Comin' Lyrics 19 years ago
sorry salty, but hendrix fingerpicked when he played this with the 12 string, he abandons the plec half way through the intro, then decides to start the song again, you know, when he was "scared as to death"
brilliant tho, more poignient retrospectivally, with what he was sayin an all.
HENDRIX FOREVER!!!

Jack Johnson – Fortunate Fool Lyrics 19 years ago
I agree with alot of what everyone else thinks about this song, however i'm really intrigued as to who this song is about?
My guess is someone who is really famous i always thought he says "the seven foriegn films she's chucked out" as if its films she's been in, i know j-lo has been in a few foriegn films, i'm most probably wrong but thats what it meant to me, any other idea's anyone?

Sonic Youth – Green Light Lyrics 19 years ago
i agree, mcbeans wrong, alot of sonic youths songs have slight references to drugs, so possibly 'crayon' is how he is describing her eyes at that time? just a thought.

A Perfect Circle – Renholder Lyrics 19 years ago
thats so wierd backwards, the violins sound almost in normal time, quite freaky!

an old trick the 'backwards message in the song' thing, hendrix did it years ago, still a great song tho

Sonic Youth – Stones Lyrics 19 years ago
fair cop, i only smoke pot, so i wouldnt know.
love the song tho, the intro could go on forever and i wouldnt mind. I've found SY to be so under rated, there are some real gems in their discography.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Bold As Love Lyrics 19 years ago
its interesting he starts with anger, with jealousy "behind him" this could be how you feel when you see a girl who appears to be out of your reach.

I think he feels all his colours (emotions) are not as they should be, and she is a rainbow - all the colours, as they should be, balanced like her emotions, and he's left thinking 'yeah i am mixed up, but my colours are still bright and bold, and i dont know why, ask the axis'

The Clash – Inoculated City Lyrics 19 years ago
"The soldier boy for his soliders pay
Obeys the seargent at arms whatever he says

The seargent will for his seargent's pay
Obey his captain till his dying day

The captain will for his captains pay
Obey the general order of the battle play

The generals bow to the government
Obey the charge you must not relent"
-i think

Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb Lyrics 19 years ago
i can relate to the lyrics about childhood illness, i had the worst fever i've had, a hallucinogenic fever where my 'hands felt like two balloons' and i was 'coming through in waves' which is what i relate to in this song, but what eqb has said sums it up really the thing is how did Waters get hepatitis? drugs i'd expect.

Sonic Youth – Total Trash Lyrics 19 years ago
i agree with swordeater, i think its about taking the drug, and feeling how most people in town are doing the same which is making the market less 'pure' and in a way spoiling it for him. if not just spoiling the town.

Sonic Youth – 'Cross the Breeze Lyrics 19 years ago
i think the majority of SY songs have more drug related references than sexual references, but i'm not saying there aren't any sexual references in their songs.

Sonic Youth – Stones Lyrics 19 years ago
i think this song is quite obvious, its about being on crack or meth, and making love to a stranger,
"Warped lovers loosed on languid stain" two lovers who are both high on the drug, languid stain being the slowed sluggish effect you get from the drug, maybe?
