| Moe. – Captain America Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| this song is the fucking coolest. i think it's just about the american government policies & politicians... i could break down every line & verse, but i doubt anyone would actually read it. i might do it later, because i really like piecing songs together, but for now i'll leave it at this. | |
| Last Conservative – No Hard Feelings Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i love this song. i'm going to break it apart & put what i think it means. Tell me a story How you beat the giants How you make this little world spin You're such a riot You're a genius of the worst kind You're a martyr in your own mind he's complaining about her own opinions of herself... he's calling her arrogant, maybe trying to convince himself of this bad quality so he can feel better about the situation, maybe not. he talks to her in a tone that's ironically condescending for this particular accusation- "you're a genius of the worst kind, you're a martyr in your own mind" thus implying she's not all that great at all, still trying to convince himself he doesn't care. which leads to the chorus... Why do you have to be the one That loves to hurt me so Why must i be the one That just cant let go ohhh he's admitting it to himself, and to her! she "loves to hurt him" but he "can't let go" & he doesn't understand why. who hasn't been in this situation before? it bites. Tell me a story Of your long lost desire Of the weight of the world And the beautiful liar I've seen good intentions face down on the floor You scratch my back I'll stab yours here it's a little hard to tell if he's seriously looking up to her or mocking her. the beginning sounds like it could be that he really wants to hear of her adventures, but i don't think so. i think he's almost chastising her for having things in her life that she likes better than him. he's trying to make them seem smaller so he can convince himself he doesn't need her. the line "you scratch my back, i'll stab yours" shows that he's got anger with this issue- he wants to hurt her because she's hurting him. the chorus again is him admitting, as painful as it is, that he really does want to be with her, and "can't let go" of her. I am a rock With no hard feelings The cynical backlash Has got me reeling the line "i am a rock with no hard feelings" seems like he's trying to convince either her or himself that he doesn't care- he has no hard feelings toward her because she doesn't matter to him. the next line is maybe about the fact that he's trying & getting shut down- the cynical backlash (rejection?) has got him reeling. We've lost your results We've lost all ideals So hows the wife doing And how do you feel the first two lines, their relationship is basically horrible now, they've lost everything good they had, but he still can't walk away from her, or let her walk away. the line about the wife... seriously confuses me. i don't get it. the chorus closes it, & he's back where he has to admit to himself he's not over her & isn't ready yet to be without her. just my opinion. anyone have any ideas about the wife line? |

| Ellis Paul – Maria's Beautiful Mess Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i wish it was called "linnea's beautiful mess." this song is beautiful. he's taken by this girl who's so lost, but still free... she's a mess, but a beautiful one. he wants to be as free as she as, he's drawn to her openness and her chaos. just what i think, but i really adore this song. |

| Last Conservative – Can't Get Away From You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| this is probably my favorite LC song, because it captures this mind set/situation so well... trying to get over someone that's there every time you turn around, whether it's physically them or just a reminder of them... i love it. the song, not the situation. the situation sucks, haha. | |
| Last Conservative – Distraction Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i love this song. "oh so tell me anything, give me truth or lies, i don't care, i don't wanna think...about you." we've all been here before... so sick of a failing relationship, & so sick of not being over someone... |

| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Tearjerker Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
on my list of people i want to meet, anthony kiedis & kurt cobain go back & forth as number one. i am in love with this song. kurt wore dresses a lot, he was making a pro-feminist statement, he was very pro-feminist & i love that this song is about him. it really is a tearjerker. john frusciante is god, blood sugar sex magik is AMAZING & dave navarro is a bit of a lame-o. amazing song, amazing men. |

| Nirvana – Pennyroyal Tea Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| it was definately about his stomach pains, not any abortion. i've read his journals & his biography & interviews etc. etc. (i even did a research paper on him) & this song is definately about stomach pains. | |
| Snow Patrol – Hands Open Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i think he wants it to happen but doesn't know if it will or not. It's hard to argue when you won't stop making sense But my tongue still misbehaves, and keeps digging my own grave. (she's winning the arguement of why they shouldn't be together, but he wants it so bad he can't stop trying.) With my hands open and my eyes open I just keep hoping that your heart opens Why would I sabotage the best thing that i have, Well it makes it easier, exactly what i want. (she's scared it won't work out, he's trying to reassure her & coax her "why would i sabatoge the best thing that i have?") With my hands open and my eyes open I just keep hoping that your heart opens. (he's really putting himself out there & has no idea how it will end up.) It's not as easy as willing it all to be right Gotta be more than hope that it's right. I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it Collapse into me tired with joy. (he wants her to really want it as much as he does, and to believe in it as much as he does. he wants to make her happy- "i wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it, collapse into me tired with joy." Put Sufjan Stevens on, and we'll play your favorite song, Chicago bursts to life in your sweet smile remembers you My hands open and my eyes open, I just keep hoping that your heart opens. (he's still trying really hard to win her over.) that's just how i interpreted it anyway... |

| Red Hot Chili Peppers – My Lovely Man Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i love you, anthony kiedis. & i love this song. the way he talks about hillel is enough to make me cry, practically. i love how he's not ashamed to love his friend, his lovely man. i hate to parrot everyone else, but i have to say it... rest in peace hillel. |
|
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Around the World Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| okay for starters ANTHONY KIEDIS IS BEAUTIFUL. understand? kgreat. now, this song is about both falling in love too easily with women & with the places he travels, i think. | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – American Ghost Dance Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i LOVE this song. | |
| Pink Floyd – Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2 Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
okay, let me say this: those who said the bricks in the wall are him building the wall around himself to isolate & protect himself, you're RIGHT. & this is an autobiographical album that is a combination of Roger Waters, &, yes, Syd Barrett. i HAVE done my research. & i am OBSESSED with this album, i love it. kthanks. |

| Radiohead – A Reminder Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| this song is so pretty & so sad at the same time. i really like it a lot. | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Aeroplane Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i always thought it was just about how music can always take you to a higher plane of existance... it's freedom in & of itself. my favorite line is "one note from the song she wrote could fuck me where i lay." what a beautiful perfect way to convey what music means! after reading these posts, i agree with the drug references etc. & am a little embarassed i never picked up on them.. =). it's still an amazing song either way, i love Anthony Kiedis & all of RHCP! |
|
| Radiohead – Anyone Can Play Guitar Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i agree. i think it's very sarcastic when he says he wants to be jim morrisson. i also agree with the post that said it's about how everyone plays guitar & think they're amazing at it. guitar is very trendy so everyone learns a few songs & then think they're rock stars. people who actually feel music when they play it are pretty rare & very special. |
|
| Radiohead – A Wolf at the Door (It Girl. Rag Doll) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i think it's sort of a mix of violent crimes like getting beaten up (smacks you in the head, knifes you in the teeth, kicks you in the neck...) or having your kids kidnapped (steal my children if i don't pay the ransom, never see them again if i squeal to the cops...) of becoming someone you're not for someone else (don't look in the mirror at the face you don't recognize) and the evils of the american upper-middle class (cold wives & mistresses...) & how they tend to have the attitude that they're better than other people (city boys in first class don't know we're born little...) i think it's a combination of a lot of bad things that is basically reminding us of what a fucked up society we live in these days. |
