| Dolly Parton – Jolene Lyrics

There could be another meaning to this song, sometimes it kinda sounds like *she* fancies Jolene, but she's framing it as insecurity about her man because she doesn't want to admit that to herself. |

Not sure if it's intended this way but when I first heard this song I thought it was about self-harm, in particular these lines:
"Cut me open With precision & we'll finger The incision"
"You will know me By the scars I bare" |

| Manic Street Preachers – Nostalgic Pushead Lyrics
| 18 years ago

It's about the generation of the 1960's sexual revolution and so on growing older and still trying to hang on to the music, sex, ideals and rebellion of their youth even while those things have become nothing more than products marketed to them by corporations. It's the manics when they were young making fun of the older generation of music... of course now the manics are getting old themselves, I wonder if they still sing this song. Anyway it's a rockin' song and the manics totally rock regardless of age, but there's still a sense of schadenfraude.
Feels good to yell "Rebellion, it always sells at a profit!" |

| Tool – Eulogy Lyrics

I think it's implying that when a person has a hero who they idolize or worship, it might really be more about satisfying a selfish emotional need of their own than anything that hero has said or done.
It could apply to Jesus or Bill Hicks or anyone who is put on a pedestal - it doesn't really matter. Actually that is the point of the song; that it really *doesn't* matter if it's Jesus or Bill Hicks. "No way to recall/What it was that you had said to me/Like I care at all." i.e. It's all about *my* need to identify with someone above the crowd, someone important, and I can replace you once you've served your purpose. |
