| Hammock – Raising Your Voice... Trying To Stop An Echo Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The original lyrics posted are correct. @downstreamer: show me proof of their "material which just glaringly exposes their born-again-Christian trashiness." I see maybe one tune that has word which some may be considered religious, but the lyrics make no direct reference to support that statement. On top of that, most of their material don't have lyrics, so a claim such as that is absurd. High five, dude. |

| Hammock – What Heaven Allows Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I somewhat agree with you that this song is about stepping back and re-evaluating. Also, I realize that the song is entitled "What Heaven Allows," which implies some religious connotations but I want to believe that there's more to it than that. So, what I think this song is referring to is not the life-after-death Heaven, but the Heaven we're all living now. I know, cheesy as it is. But I feel like this song is a plea to step back for a bit, and think about one's own situation so as to proceed in the most appropriate fashion, as FloatingAway mentioned above. |

| Dredg – Sanzen Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Sanzen: sitting meditation. Truly, it is "just sitting." Being present in the moment; awareness. Not being caught up in thought, simultaneously not denying its naturalness. Some things mentioned by Jellohead do hold some validity, although, not absolute truth. This song points to a mind which is torn by longing for something to please itself, and loathing and pushing the things it hates away. A mind full of static conceptual views. It points to a truth which cannot be spoken, but only found in the present moment which is in constant flux and change. |

| Dredg – Same Ol' Road Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I agree with you on most points you make, Ionmech2, although I have to disagree with you on one: I don't think that this song is necessarily saying that the cycle is 'brainwashing' people out of their modest homes. I think it is the opposite. The situation is weaved to make one feel what they have is inadequate and must work towards a goal to achieve fame, money, sexy and whatnot. I think that the song is suggesting that the 'Same ol' Road' is a mindless path, which ultimately leads to dissatisfaction. The verse beginning with: "All you need is a modest house..." clearly explains an honest way of life that is both truly satisfying and non-damaging to one's surroundings. |

| Minus the Bear – Pachuca Sunrise Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
As a side note, I'd like to mention that the title could bear some meaning to the song as well. A volcanic eruption near the Mexican city of Pachuca sent tons of particles into the atmosphere. Those particles caused brilliantly beautiful sunrises and sunsets; there would be vivid colours of orange, pink and red across the sky. Since the Mediterranean sea is mentioned, it would imply that this is taking place during the early evening, as the sun sets in the west towards Pachuca. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the significance of the beautiful sunsets in the west is a symbol of the narrators significant other being in the west (who could be in Mexico, as mentioned by other people). Just my two cents. |
