Codeine – Promise of love Lyrics	17 years ago
This is him attempting the fill his empty void by suggesting that he himself could be everything that he hasn't yet found. In essence, now he doesn't need to find someone perfect because he can pretend be it himself. Lets just hope he succeeded.

I think it really has to do with something being wrong but not being able to put your finger on it.

Codeine – Loss Leader Lyrics

17 years ago

This song's lyric is metaphorically reminiscent of someone being the "loss leader" of sorts, being valued less worth than actual price. So for whatever reason, the person swims out in a body of water, 'loosing sight of the shore' because they cannot take the infinite 'loss loop' of devastation that it brings. Water running down could either mean: water in lungs or after they make it back to shore, it drips off. Tasting bitter due to almost drowning, two muddy shoes walking out of the water. Far from home instigates that they might have had suicidal tendencies/intent, but couldn't go through with it. That they wanted to be far away when they offed theirself. I think this song can be taken literally and metaphorically. Literally, a person swims out with intent to kill themselves from desperation each time they feel like a loss leader. Or metaphorically, that is how they feel inside each time they are used/abused, ect. So they do something to cleanse theirself. As lastrites said, he gets the feeling of being "trapped deeply in a state of despair and desperation." Well, honestly, most of Codeine's songs give me this vibe. But I do agree with his view on merely repeating the same pattern of hopelessness. That is EXACTLY what this song is about regardless of any literal interpretation.

Codeine – Pea Lyrics	17 years ago
Seems like he gave everything from himself, yet it meant nothing to her. But, he wishes he could get anything to make up for her even if he could never get her back and for this he blames himself.

Codeine – D Lyrics	17 years ago
It's about two people who live in an Apartment, and the guy (from the guy's perspective) is broke, the woman has the job, has the money. They barely get by. He wanted to help her, but ended up loosing his job or whatever income he had, so she ended up helping him instead. She grows reluctant and pushes him away, that is where this sad story ends.

Pearl Jam – Sleight of Hand Lyrics

17 years ago

I always envisioned this song about a man who formulated a plan for his life and after getting there, realized he couldn't continue to live his life like that forever. So, he makes his final plans... Then he looked down at his hands, his hands that could change everything by a "Sleight move Of his Hand". He takes his own life in a car accident (and possibly others). At the end of the song, he is outside of his body, bidding farewell to the life that he knew so well. Another interpretation could be that he was so used to his fully planned lifestyle, he was never expecting a life-changing event such as getting in a wreck, to happen. How could this happen, I had everything planned out? Type thing.

Alice in Chains – God Am Lyrics	18 years ago
Obviously what he says in the begging while he's smoking crack is, "Sure God's all powerful, but does he have the medicine?" I always sung the lyrics like this, "This God of my relapses." God of all my Goddamn.

Chevelle – Tom Lyrics	19 years ago
I think this is about his cat, maybe that it died or something from fans. He is looking at his cat who wants him to die along with him. That is my best guess.
