Nine Inch Nails – God Given Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
The first verse made me think of drugs for some reason. Like a drug deal going on in a back alley. The
"And He gives us sight
And we'll see the light
And it burns so bright"
part also seems to support this. Maybe it's about the way people get so obsessed with their religions and with feeling superior it becomes like a drug to them that they can't fuction without. Just my thought. |

Metric – Empty Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I think the "shake your head it's empty" means how people will go along with what the crowd is doing without thinking, like how when they hear a cool song they'll dance and shake their heads to the music without thinking about the lyrics. When I first listened to this song, it always made me want to shake my head, the guitar and Emily's voice are just so perfect, but when she gets to that line, I wondered what she meant and it made me stop and think for a moment. The last verse also made me think of an eating disorder, but it could be a disorder on so many levels. When she mentions coughing her heart out and not missing it at all, it makes me think about how people will just give up their opinions, emotions, and what they stand for just to go with the flow. Then after this, the person has no regrets, which surprises them. |

The Pillows – Blues Drive Monster (English Lyrics) Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
This is one of my favorite Pillows songs. I think the lyrics are about growing up and the general insanity of living in a world obsessed with image and consumerism ("Destory the wall of illusions"). I think the song is talking about how music offers an escape from indifference. The line about being locked in a room littered with keys makes me think that they are saying there are a lot of ways to change things and make a difference, people just need to pay more attention to them and open their eyes. |

The Dresden Dolls – Delilah Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
"Very good: you may be flat but you're breathing" In reference to schizophrenia, "flat" can mean a lack of emotion and motivation. I just thought that might relate to the "unrescuable schizo" line. |
