Gorillaz – Happy Landfill Lyrics 17 years ago
Hmm...Happy Landfill wasn't on Demon Days, but it was on the limited edition DVD. It fits with O Green World if you think about both of them in an environmental way...but both also work when you think about war...

It means you got it coming and you ain't got a chain

as 2-Dz said, chain can mean weapon...

Their only attire
Is a typical vice
But if it gets you well, well you ain't being nice, no
No!

War supporters only sound convincing because they're using the typical vices...nationalism, duty to your country, etc...
But if you're convinced by them, you're not "being nice" to the country you're fighting...

So follow the lives
Till they cut up your eyes

So keep seeing people killed until the shrapnels explode in your eyes...(maybe a bit too much? hehe...)

You won't be even seeing if you ain't growing lies

Your eyes will be destroyed by the shrapnels unless you use a weapon (lies)

Idk...just my little interpretation for thought ^ ^

Gorillaz – Spitting Out The Demons Lyrics 17 years ago
xD weirdguy...
Well, drugs are the first thing that come to mind from the phrase, "Spitting out the Demons". But "fallin' out of airplanes" is kind of random...

Gorillaz – Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head Lyrics 17 years ago
I might be taking it literally compared to everyone else, but maybe 2-D's lines are more towards the nature aspect...
Are 2-D's verses from the same perspective both times?
Then whose?
I think that his perspective is from the Monkey in the mountain-the monkey knows that the Strangefolk are to be suspected of doing well...strange things! And in the first verse, he speaks of the Strangefolk and everyone as if he knows what's happening.
But if that isn't what it means, then the band probably made 2-D's verses different to purposefully make people curious and guess about what the heck he's talking about...

Motion City Soundtrack – Everything Is Alright Lyrics 18 years ago
The original meaning of the song may be about the lead singer's girlfriend taking LSD. But anyone can relate to this song who has tried to solve their personal problems with meds, drugs, or really anything to distract you from depression (TV).

Asian Kung-Fu Generation – Haruka Kanata Lyrics 19 years ago
Seems different than AKFG's other songs, but it is one of my favorites. ^ ^ I think this song is about how Naruto will keep going forward, no matter what obstacles or problems along the way.

The All-American Rejects – Dirty Little Secret Lyrics 19 years ago
It doesn't have to mean that he's cheating. He could just have a relationship with someone his friends wouldn't approve of. When I first heard the song, I thought he was singing about a girlfriend who he wanted to keep secret from the paparazzi. ("These sleeping dogs won't lie.")

Muse – Showbiz Lyrics 19 years ago
I agree with summerlr and de7ilznite

I think this part:

they make me dream your dreams/they make me scream your screams

Is about how Matt has to write songs that everyone can relate to, etc.

trying to please you for too long/controlling my feelings for too long

That part's about how he doesn't want to sing to please people, and that he can't write about what HE wants to sing about

Forcing our darkest souls to unfold/And pushing us into self destruction

He feels like he'll explode if he doesn't let out his feelings

That's my explanation

Muse – Time Is Running Out Lyrics 19 years ago
Oh, and the "time is running out" bit is probably that time's running out, and if he wants her, he should try to get her back, fast.

(this is my 2nd theory-not my 1st)

Muse – Time Is Running Out Lyrics 19 years ago
Perhaps this song can mean more than one thing?

In the music video, it shows a bunch of guys in ties sitting around a table. (secret gov. organization)

but the lyrics by themselves sound like he's talking about a relationship with a girl, and they broke up (or they're going to), but he can't get over her.

I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

"It" is the living, firey passion between them.
[this is my favorite part of the song ;) ]

I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted

Maybe they're breaking up because he/she wants more space, but he's realized that he's still crazy about her.

Now that you know I'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation

If he threatens to break up with her, she can just remind him of his passion for her, and he won't be able to leave.

How did it come to this?

How could he actually fall this hard for a girl?

idk, maybe the 2nd meaning is supposed to be the "real" meaning, but the actual meaning underneath is about the secret government organization. You decide.

Muse – Unintended Lyrics 19 years ago
I totally think that marijndevalk's 1st guess was right.
He's singing a love song for someone he hasn't met yet, or he could've already met her. (Unintended, you know)

Anyways, this is one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard.

The All-American Rejects – My Paper Heart Lyrics 19 years ago
I don't think this is about a breakup. I feel like the guy in this song really wants to be with a girl who's just a friend, and he's scared that he'll be rejected or that their relationship will eventually come crashing down like all of the others.

Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed.
This wait for destiny won't do,
Be with me, please I beseech you

The guy is asking the girl to be with him, but to not hurt him. He really likes her, so instead of just waiting for it to happen, he's going to try to initiate it.

So bottle up our love and throw it out to sea.
Wash it away as you cry.
A year has passed,
The seasons go.

He could be telling himself that it'll never happen, and this is what'll happen if he tries to be with her.

Summertime, nights so long, the leaves fall down, so do I to the ARMS OF A FRIEND.
Winter nights, my bedside is cold, for I am gone.
The spring blossoms you to me.

This supports my theory that they're just good friends, but he wants her.

AFI – Miss Murder Lyrics 19 years ago
The more I listen to the lyrics, the more it seems that Davey is a dictator who is in a good place right now, and he wants to stay that way-he doesn't want to fade away and be forgotten.

And the guy he sings about in the verses is a successful dictator like him, but he died while he was still popular with the people, so he was still remembered because he went out with a big bang.

If you want to think this dictator is supposed to be jesus, go ahead; but I think it's meant to be more hitler than jesus. (In the music video, Davey is standing on a ledge over a crowd doing slightly hitlerish moves.)

I'm not saying the Davey is a dictator-that's just the imagery that I think is used in the lyrics. Personally, I think that Davey's "dictatorship" represents the power he has with his band over the people who listen to his music.

So, Davey is asking "Miss Murder", the angel of death, if the "going out with a big bang" thing would work for his band if it worked for that other guy. (Jesus, Hitler, whatever.)

You can disagree-this is only my opinion.

I don't know what I like the most-the bass part, the guitar, or River's voice. I can totally relate to this song. Always falling for guys waaay out of my league. lol

Weezer – Keep Fishin' Lyrics 19 years ago
I agree with everyone that Rivers is cute in the muppet video, but I think Scott is hott! lol

It's kinda like Rivers is the nerdy guy who falls in love with the hot girl, who rejects him. And I think the shelf thing meant that he hates to see the girl desperately looking for other guys, when he would gladly be with her. That's just my interpretation.

Franz Ferdinand – Michael Lyrics 19 years ago
I love the backwards line in this song. It's actually supposed to translate into:"Call your mother, she's worried about you." because Bob didn't call home for a while and they were staying in Malmo. You can go to FF.net and see for yourself.

The Hives – Hate To Say I Told You So Lyrics 19 years ago
The song isn't about spreading STDs...The name of the band is the HIVES, so they want to "spread the disease" of instantaneously loving the Hives the moment you hear them...

And the whole "I can do whatever I want" theme is about (I think) how a lot of other bands dress and how they play, and that Howlin' Pelle and his gang don't have to follow suit with them. (That's why they wear the black and white suits.)

Franz Ferdinand – You're The Reason I'm Leaving Lyrics 19 years ago
This song kinda reminds me of all the nerdy, short guys who like me, but whom I don't like back. I don't think it has to do with politics. People, Green Day's songs are about politics-not Franz Ferdinand.

Paris Hilton – Stars Are Blind Lyrics 19 years ago
Wow. Everybody's like really putting down this song. I mean, it's like...dude, Paris Hilton is a person, too. It's not like she's a just a brainless person with a pretty head. (Though, it might seem like it to some of you.) And plus, how many of you people know that much about her? It's not like you actually know her, so stop insulting people you don't even know!!!
There, it's off my chest...

For those of you who hate this song, you gotta admit it's a little catchy, and it's better than Hillary Duff/Lindsay Lohan/Ashley Simpson. (Yes, I'm awful-I group them all together as the horrible, teen "it-girls")

Just found this song through Yahoo Launchcast, and I instantly loved it. Guitar sounds awesome in this song, and the chorus is very (shall I say) "non chalant" like glow said. I like Bokkie, too.

Elefant – Bokkie Lyrics 19 years ago
It kinda sounds like he's singing about a girlfriend who happens to be a celebrity.("Playing for the public"...) Well, it sounds like this to me. But if you don't agree, post your explanation for these lyrics because I would like to see what other people think.

Franz Ferdinand – Tell Her Tonight Lyrics 19 years ago
None of the band members in FF are gay. I thought this song was about a situation between a guy and a girl, and they flirt with each other in subtle ways, yet they both know the other's interested. So, the guy's friends are pushing him to tell the girl he "likes" her or to ask her out. That's just what I'm thinking.

Snow Patrol – Run Lyrics 19 years ago
For some reason, when I hear this song, I think of a guy who's going off to a war, and he's leaving his loved ones behind. I don't know, that's just what I think of when I hear the song.

Gregory and the Hawk – Boats and Birds Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is very pretty, but sad. The first verse talks about how a girl wants to protect and support the guy they love, and the second says that even though they love that guy, the girl will let the guy go, so he'll have a chance with someone better. But you can tell it's still painful for her to let him go because she loves him.

submissions
Franz Ferdinand – Take Me Out Lyrics 19 years ago
I think this song portrays a situation where a guy and a girl like each other, but neither of them will admit it. There's a lot of tension between them, so they're waiting for the other person to finally break the tension by "taking them out". That's why the guy in the lyrics is asking the girl to ask him out. (Kinda confusing, huh?) Plus, when Alex sings "broken, shattered I lie" and "i'm just a shot, then we can die" it means that he'll let the girl reject him so that everything can be over with.
