Thrice – Stare At The Sun Lyrics 16 years ago
When Alexander the Great was 12 his father bought a horse, Bucephalus, which seemed to be skittish and impossible to train. Young Alexander realised that the horse was afraid of its own shadow. He turned Bucephalus to look at the sun, so it couldn't see its shadow.

That horse went on to carry Alexander through his great conquests of the Persian Empire and beyond, finally dying of wounds sustained in Alex's final battle at the Hydaspes River in 326BC.

I don't think this song is about Alexander the Great.

Avril Lavigne – Mobile Lyrics 19 years ago
I think in this song she's imagining what life would be like as a Nokia phone, Or maybe having a Nokia phone, I really can't tell - the allegory runs so deep.

Avril Lavigne – Nobody's Home Lyrics 19 years ago
I think this song is about living with someone who hogs the bathroom

You know, the line about having 'nowhere to go', 'go' obviously being a euphemism for a bowel movement.

The bit 'open your eyes and look outside' is about biting the bullet and going out to the woods to pinch off a loaf.

Avril Lavigne – My Happy Ending Lyrics 19 years ago
It's pretty obvious what this song's about, it's all in the title

It's about somone who went for a massage, and didn't get a 'happy ending' and now they feel ripped off

I know I'd be furious if it happened to me

Propagandhi – Fixed Frequencies Lyrics 19 years ago
I believe it's drawing comparison between the ongoing territorial struggles in the Middle East (and perhaps elsewhere?) with the European 'settlement' of North America - 'Manifest Destiny' indeed!

Basically from the point of view of, say, an aggressive Arab sheik with an eye for 'Lebensraum', it's saying to the US 'if, 500 years ago, you could invade an already-settled area, commit mass genocide, pretty much annihilate the indigenous population - and then spend the next half-millenium trying to justify your actions to the rest of the world

Why can't we?'
