| Pearl Jam – Strangest Tribe Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I have a different take on this: The theme is sarcastically religious. This is a condemnation of the materialistic and commercial view of what was once a holy day. His eminence is Christ, buried by the current views of Christmas, or "sideways" snow (suggesting it is coming from an odd or inappropriate place). Waiting for 6 am is waiting for a chance to open presents. Having the feast and wanting more is simply a statement of gluttony. In short, Christians of the western heritage are the strangest tribe, having replaced a faith in a religion with a celebration of excess and commercialization |

| Texas Is The Reason – Back and to the Left Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The name Texas is the Reason comes from a Misfits Song (Bullet) about the Kennedy assassination. Many of their song titles are also references to the Assassination. Back and to the Left was the direction in which Kennedy's head went. A Jack with One Eye is said to be a reference to Kennedy missing half of his head after the shot. Blue Boy refers to John Jr's blue short suit worn to the funeral. Johnny on the Spot can simply refer to John Kennedy. Nickel Wound describes the wound in a senators neck caused by a shot fired during the assassination. And Finally, Magic Bullet Theory is a name given to a theory regarding the trajectory of the shot in the assassination. Don't get hung up on all of that though...the band is amazing |
