| X – The Hungry Wolf Lyrics | 18 years ago |

First! But seriously, these lyrics have been up for 6 years and not a single comment on one of the best songs by one of the greatest and most highly influential L.A. bands ever. I imagine this is a song about runaways/street kids in Hollywood and the difficult life they lead. Perhaps more relevant during the band's early years. |

| Hum – Suicide Machine Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
One of the greatest songs not only by Hum, but any band, period. Like Gubar69 said above, calm and beautiful vocally. Musically it meanders through quiet and stark moments that build in intensity to the infamous Hum "wall of sound" without ever picking up tempo. Lyrically it's pure poetry. To me this song is about love between two people that is so intense and overwhelming, that the two become one (suicide of the individual partners as they become one) ref: "that's why the suicide machine is built for two, a simple sick device devised to overload on love" and "let's just hit the sky exploding into one". So intense that they've lost all sense of direction: "and to the left where up is down"; their world is literally turned upsidedown. |
