| Boys Night Out – Healing Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
|
"Baby let me collect some things" also may allude to him seeing his wife on the other side. He's talking to her, which isn't different from other songs on the CD, but the fact that he's "collecting some things" has a sense of cleaning up and getting some order possibly before he physically leaves earth and joins his wife, although he's been with his wife in his head for a while. |

| Boys Night Out – Waking Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
I believe actually you covered the idea of this song very well, though it may be better to find meaning to all the songs as a whole, as in the whole CD as a story, than to find meaning in each seperate song, because this IS a concept album.
Anyway, in addition to what you said, wishfulthinking, I believe it's also necessary to note that it is in this song that the character's decent into demetia. I think this because not only does he do something odd (covering the house with his wife's perfume) but the repetition of lines.
BTW, wishfulthinking, did you get those explanations for the CD songs from the Wikipedia page for Trainwreck, or did you post them there yourself? Just wondering. |

| Boys Night Out – Recovering Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
Oh my God this CD is so amazing...I've listened to it so many times, and I've only had it two days.
To me, this song is more than just him taking more pills than neccesary. Because the band members decided to call it "Recovering" and the character obviously isn't, it leads me to believe the character BELIEVES he is recovering. Because of this, he starts living in the alternate reality of the song in his head, but believes he is sane and is getting better. |

Yes, he falls in love with a vampire, so, in order for them to be together forever, she turns him into a vampire. Such a sweet song...a sweet sweet song, if I may be so bold to say so. |

Considering it's a concept album about vampires, I believe so! =]
When he says "sleep", I'll tell you...so amazing. I think this song is of course, about a vampire, and the aspect he seems to be exploring in this song is how they strike their victims at night (Watching you sleep) and how their forces are getting bigger (As big as the Russia the mapmakers made). Another brilliant song. |

I think it's just about taking things slowly, yeah, I agree with that. Taking things one day at a time, one problem at a time, one joy at a time...a song about how great life is when you keep it simple and just enjoy all the little things. Truly beautiful, really. |

| Art Brut – My Little Brother Lyrics

I guess he and his brother don't have the same taste in music, maybe? It sounds to me as though the singer also feels that there's stuff wrong with his music as well...I don't really know, the meaning seems pretty blatant, as are most of Art Brut's songs. |

| Bright Eyes – Cartoon Blues Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
Yeah, it's definately referring to Padriac...
What I got from this song was he's trying to just grow up (hence the "cartoon" in the title, seeing as cartoons are mainly directed towards kids) The lyrics seem to chronicle him doing childish things ("So I asked like a child/'May I be excused?'") I think a lot of the new songs by Bright Eyes are about growing up and leaving some bad things behind. |

| Pagoda – Voices Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
Well, I got these lyrics off of their website, www.pagodaonline.com but listening to the song they seem a bit wrong in parts, but not enough to cause a real problem.
This song is kind of confusing...I'm not getting much of a meaning besides he may be going crazy and hearing voices in his head. He thinks that they're real, but when he tells people what he hears, they tell them they don't hear anything. Then he tries to brush it off by saying, "Oh, yeah, I know, I guess it was just something in my head, no big deal." But some of the lines throw me: "I wasn't born with a silver spoon/That was then but I got one now/This ritual will kill me soon" Maybe it's about his rise to fame? Or maybe, because I'm reading The Silence of the Lambs, he's a serial killer? I have no clue just making wild guesses. The serial killer one could work because a lot of them say they hear voices telling them to do things, and many are apathetic ("They say you're not here/I'm not/To feel no fear/It's just my sickness/You're nothing you're no one/You don't exist") Serial killers seperate themselves from their victims many times by pretending or making themselves believe that the victims aren't even human, or "real" and instead treating them as if they were dolls or something.
That kinda seems like a crazy theory for this song, but it's an idea. |

| Pagoda – Amego Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
The "fight for nothing" blah blah bit comes before the "war on terrorism" one, just to let you know.
Well, I think this is definately a politically charged song. It's basically saying, including clips at the end that say something like "9/11...illegal immigration may have to be solved on its own..." which isn't posted here, that we dealt with another country's problems and terrorism before we dealt with our problems, I.E. illegal immigration. He's obviously critical of the war, by adding all the "blah blah blah"s which imply that whatever reasons people have to defend the war, it's trash. The beginning is kind of saying that the president gets criticized but apparently doesn't care (Or do I make you sick?/I'm proud!) And then when he gets into the "Hey yo amego" part, it may be implying that illegal immigrants wanted to come to America because they thought it'd be better, but they don't think it is, so they want to go back to Mexico.
Well, this song is definately different than any kind of "Happy Song" "Death to Birth" or "Fetus" in the vocals and instrumental. Good stuff. Great CD, once it finally came out. |

| The Brian Jonestown Massacre – Ballad of Jim Jones Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
Jim Jones was the founder and leader of the People Temple group, which became synonymous with murder/suicide after he forced people to drink cyanide as the only way to escape the potential threat brought to the group after Jim Jones ordered his men to kill visiting Congressman Leo Ryan and numerous members of his entourage. They all lived in an isolated community named "Jonestown", which Jones named after himself. He claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus, Buddha, Lenin, Father Devine, and Akhenaten.
Basically, he was another crazy cult leader, but I think what distinguishes him is that he actually stood for a lot of good things, one of them being racial equality. Though he was also manipulative and controlling, and he moved his followers from San Francisco to Guyana. He later forced them to commit a cult suicide...type "Jim Jones" into Google and look him up, it's pretty interesting.
I think this song is a further outlet of the lead singer's obsession with serial killers, though I don't see many references to Jones in this song besides the "I prayed to Allah, to Buddha and Jim". I like this song a lot though and if you like it, I suggest "John Wayne Gacy, Jr." by Sufjan Stevens, which is a song about the famous serial killer. |

This is a really good song and I really great band I'm surprised not many people have heard of them...they were in Gus Van Sant's "Last Days" as that one band that Blake walks by...Blake, played by Michael Pitt, in another good band called Pagoda...anyway.
For me, this song is about not having much faith inyourself and being insecure about who you really are. But through it all, you still feel that if people got to know who you really are, they'd like you.
I think I got most of the lyrics right, as I had to write them just listening to the song. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Deep Lyrics

The music video "Deep" isn't the best, but at least Trent is covered with paint. I thought it (the music video) was about a bank robbery...which wouldn't make any sense, because that's not the vibe I get from the song...I get the first comment for this song vibe. However, I don't take "deep" to be a, ahem, physical deep...I think it's like, someone messed with his feelings and it hit him really deep. I don't know, I just really, really, really love this song. It rocks...hard. Very hard.
The Pefect Drug music video kinda sucks, guys, sorry. Starfuckers, Inc., now that's a good video. |

This is the best music video ever...yeah, btw, Marilyn Manson isn't actually playing the guitar. =D Figures...he should've kept his "Gave Up" music video look, he looked a hell of a lot better...and Trent doesn't look bad either. =]
When I first heard this song, I thought it meant when you give yourself up to one thing, like a relationship or a project or something, and it fails you so you just kind of have nothing, because you put your everything into that one thing...so you give up...hence the title "Gave Up", maybe? Something to ponder...
Sorry, I'm going a little crazy with the "..."s as usual. |

This is another great NIN instrumental song, off of "Closer To God". It's kinda slow in the beginning, but it gets faster and faster. It kinda sounds like feet scuffling on the floor in the beginning...obviously the name is a spin-off of the song "March Of The Pigs" and I think some sort of correlation is this song is the pigs marching. Just an idea. |

I heard this song on the CD by the same name, which has six versions of Closer...basically the same words in a different order, with different beats, and him singing the words differently. Thus making it a freaking awesome CD.

Stephen King quotes this song at the tail end of his first novel, "Carrie":
"Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain
That could hold you dear lady from going insane
That could ease you and cool you and cease the pain
Of your useless and pointless knowledge"
If you've read the book, it's actually quite an appropriate song lyric to inject. |

It's kinda interesting you guys are more interested in what happened between Mick Jagger and David Bowie than the meaning of this song...
Anyway, considering it's a cover, it's a little redundant and pointless to post a meaning when you could go to the original and do it. But I'm too lazy to do that so I just say it's about getting everyone in the world to dance to the same beat, which has a bit of a "let's unite!" feel to it. |

I had to write these by just listening to the song, but I think, for the most part, they're correct.
I think this song is just about a guy who is totally won over by this girl that he thinks it amazing but really just may be using him for a "fix" of sorts. It's a great song. I love The Hermitt's style - kinda sounds like they wrote the song in five minutes but I think the lyrics are hilarious, as always. |

| Tool – Terrible Lie (Nine Inch Nails cover) Lyrics
| 19 years ago

|
This song is amazing. It's a really beautiful song. Whereas Terrible Lie by Nine Inch Nails is more angry sounding, in this version, the singer sounds sad and remorseful. I honestly do like this version better than the original because I think the tune and mood better fits the words. If you listen to the two versions, you'll get two totally different meanings from the songs. And I just think that the meaning I get from this one better fits the actual words, much as I love the original as well. Like the original, I think it's about anyone, as well as God, betraying your trust, and how you want so much to believe them and in them, but you can't, as much as it hurts you. This is one of the best songs ever. I love it. |

This song is really brilliantly stupid. I think it's about just making decisions and how some don't work out, and some are just stupid. Some don't work out BECAUSE they're stupid.
The line "So I moved all my shit and started a business - It was called "Give Me Your Money Or I'll Stab You With Scissors!" It's just an all-around funny song, but I still think it has a message. |

Please get your facts straight. |
