People In Planes – Moth Lyrics 15 years ago
Rofl. If it's so strait forward wtf is the sheriff part about other then maybe an annoyance?

As for the rest, it's somewhat clear that Moths = annoying people our Lyricist encounters that seem to be vampiric in the way of sucking life from certain instances in his life.

People In Planes – Penny Lyrics 15 years ago
I picture a machine arm hanging to the side of a factory line, wanting to get back to work when the factory is closed when it says "It's a hell of a time to be stranded off the line."

I never considered trying to think about what this song is about, but the Electric fence could easily be interpreted to mean that he's stuck in the factory for his entire life. Or it could be just as easily be a random conversation between 2 workers. Who knows?

What I do know is that this is a wonderful song and few bands could top it.

Rotersand – Yes, We Care Lyrics 15 years ago
Here I was thinking it said
"And yes we can"
assuming it was an anti-Obama song.

If only.

Neuroticfish – Skin Lyrics 16 years ago
I'm sorry but those lyrics aren't completely correct:

I decide
Never to play with truth again
I reveal
Never to be so cruel again
A noble game you played with me
You bound my heart and set me free
You bound my feet and let me go
And I don't know

We are like sheep
Waiting for the slaughter
We crawl and we creep
We can't hear their laughter
A passionate game I played with you
Skip the fear and gave the fool
I can sense this deep within
Underneath my skin
(Underneath my)

You say
All this appears new to you
I won't stay
Even if you want me to
I know that I have played with them
Never mind to fail again
Feel the pressure deep within
Underneath my skin


This song doesn't need interpretation, imo.
It would be like interpreting Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
While a great song, no complexity.

VNV Nation – Rubicon Lyrics 18 years ago
Don't disagree with Czar. When you have a choice between intelligence/fact or emotion/assumption, you should always go with fact.

My point: Although it may strike a quivering bone in you, this song doesn't have to be about emotion and unlikely is.

The way a song makes you FEEL is NOT the MEANING of a song.

Obviously, I agree with Czar completely. Same goes for Distant (Rubicon II)

Assemblage 23 – Cocoon Lyrics 18 years ago
I think he speaks of problems that constantly come up in his life that he's trying to ignore. His only way for him to feel better is for him to be alone. To be alone in his own Cocoon, away from his problems.

Assemblage 23 – Lullaby Lyrics 18 years ago
The lyrics of this song may sound happy but are about death.

It's saying that death is a sleep to look forward to.

Not preaching death, but that's how I see it.

Also I see some empowerment in these lyrics:
"Stand your ground, never walk away
Please don't ever let the world defeat you
Don't get buried in its decay"

There seems to be some sort of empowerment in all of their songs.

Assemblage 23 – Divide Lyrics 18 years ago
This guy is alone in his on mind. Solitude is his life. Being alone is all he lives for, and he believes he has the power in him to do anything.

Over anything, i find this to be a very dark, and empowering song.

Assemblage 23 – Ground Lyrics 18 years ago
Just because something bad or terrible has hapened in your life, it's not the end of the world.

In the most harsh way possible:
Stop being a pussy and walk it off. Crying about it wont help.

Buck 65 – Phil Lyrics 19 years ago
I sense that it can be seen in 3 different ways.

First off, I thought of my friend the moment I sat down and listened to the lyrics. His girlfriend is moving away and I find it very tempting to have him to listen to it to ease the pain he may feel. We're very similar, thinking the same way and this song just really applied tot he situation.

Secondly, I think he could be talking to himself. That would explain that they have the same name, think alike, and how he even knows that this other person is in trouble.

Last, I think he may have encountered another person (like in another town) that lives the way he did when he was younger, and feels the need to tell this person how he got through it successfully and happily.

I agree the harmonics and beat are amazing. This is very well put together.

Pinback – B Lyrics 19 years ago
(sorry, this turned out to be way too long.)
Agreed. Kind of rediculous. You need to refer to what part of the song you're talking about more. Instead of saying "the 3rd and 4th line" you should just repeat what lyrics you're talking about. You could be referring to the 3rd or 4th song in the entire song, or in any of the stanzas.

I see this entire song as talking about one person. Sitting on his computer, rotting away. "that a rotting corpse qualifies as a show" In other words, you're rotting there while putting on a constant show for yourself on your computer. I personally know how that is, since I do it in all of my free time (such as now).

The idea is that you know you're wasting your time, but don't have the ability/energy/motivation to do otherwise. Entertaining yourself here and now is more important to you then worrying about the future.

"We'll play that one later
They've launched their antenna claws
Called in a favor while you're choking on their tentacles"
That part shows me that this person playing these games on his computer feels the need to do something away from his comptuer, but is pulled back to his computer for other reasons, such as to help someone out ("Called in a favor") in a game.

When you are asked to do something online for a buddy in a game, you usually do it to be a good friend. But you are being a bad friend by wasting yours and their time playing that game. But somehow waste of time isn't in your mind anymore because you have been given a task. As long as you have a task to do, you're suddenly not wasting time.

Then later on it talks about going to sleep and the "buzzing" in your head, like thinking about what your next task will be then imaging it as you go to sleep.

Later on it seems to be talking about kids who will live off their parents(or others) further then they should. Going to the refrigerator for food, then going abck to the game to complete more "tasks."

Then the song says "it's in the way, your ~will~ - not break" I see this as the parent's ~will~ to have their kid outside playing or doing something productive. Maybe the song writer telling the kid's parents not to give up on him.

Then it ends off repeating-
"you're falling asleep
don't worry about the curtain
you're falling asleep
look in the spinning line"

Now I'm gunna analyze the hell out of this part.
"Don't worry about the cuntain." In that, I see a kid in his room looking outside while sitting on his computer.
"Look in the spinning line." Usually hypnotizing is done by a shiny object swinging like a pendulum. But I see this spinning line as one of those black spirals on a white background that is known to hypnotize people as well. That is your monitor.
"You're falling asleep." The command that your computer is giving you. "I will now count backwards from 10." That kind of thing.

So in the end, your computer not only has a tentacle choke hold on you, forcing you to look at the spinning line. But it is also hypnotizing you into a perpetual cycle of going onto your computer, then realizing you're wasting your time, then going back to it once again.

Pinback – Microtonic Wave Lyrics 19 years ago
This is a rough one. I'll try to analyze it even though I think it's about a single event that I'm not familiar with. Plus those lyrics are off a bit.

The best I can do is look up where this song comes from. The best way to decipher a song is to look at it's title. Microtonic Wave. A tonic is something that heals, or cures an illness. So since it seems like this person is trying to run from this Microtonic Wave, it seems to me that h doesn't see it as a cure for anything. He sees it as something that will destroy who he is. "We're trapped in the drift of a Microtonic Wave." That makes me think that this is a guy just trying as hard as he can not ro conform (or that whole jazz. 8P)

Since microtonic isn't really a word, it makes me second guess what I said above. MicrotoMic is a word, though. Definition - The preparation of specimens with a microtome. - So of course, go to microtome and that is -An instrument used to cut a specimen, as of organic tissue, into thin sections for microscopic examination.-

Ok, so off of that I get this whole big Sum-It-Up idea.

They see this conforming as a microtomic change. They use a microtome to change things about everyday people to make them the same (or not themselves). Then Pinback simply changed the M in microtoMic into an N to give it a whole new meaning. This change is suddenly the cure (or tonic) for whatever problem this person has.

That's pretty much completely off of the title, though. So don't yell at me for being wrong. ;-)

Pinback – Grey Machine Lyrics 19 years ago
True bucky1337, it is partyly about how people try to make money off of everything in life (parking spaces every-which way, then taxes). But that's only one part of the big picture. I agree this song is completely about suicide.

I liked the idea of the person in the song actually being on top of a roof looking at a building across the street, contemplating his leap. I had always thought about a guy in his boring job, about to crack.

In retrospect, I see that when he talks about going crazy over the failure that he sees in our country/culture.

He talks about being curled in a ball in the yard in the grass with his car running, like he ran into the house for something and on the way out he finally cracked. The directly after he says "there's a stain on the grass that's calling us home" which calls us back to the blood on the grass from jumping off the building. In the end, I see this person trying to tell us that he is either going to go crazy or kill himself (or both).

Then in the end, there is 2 possibilities that I see.
1. He is either blabbering out random things because he's crazy, then says "im letting go" maybe letting go of his mind.
2. Then this list of "On The/Out Of -location/item here-". It could all be a riddle that Pinback want us to figure out.

Lastly, does anyone else hear it saying "on your grave" repeatedly? WHY ISN'T IT ON THE LYRICS?!?!

This song makes me glad I have a strong mind.
