| Scott Weiland – Missing Cleveland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
The chorus should be "I'm a dreamer, you don't care at least it seems so when you're there and leaving Earth is sometimes lonely when your feet are on the ground" The monkey stuff is about fame, the music industry, being tied to something you can't really control, and then you have a wife and kids and a drug addiction and you wish everything was a little simpler again. |

yeah, alia612, and there's a little fear in it, like he doesn't know what he should really believe. the "uber-man" line is definitely coming from nietzsche though... the whole album is pretty existential i think |

| The Shins – Australia Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
the dodo is extinct, and an android is a robot (no soul, but made of some flesh/ desire?) you're faced with the question of death and the soul. this is the real question we're all faced with - so should you live for yourself or for something more important... and what is more important?... why were you created? |

| John Frusciante – Invisible Movement Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The title's "Invisible Movement" ... same thing with line 14. I think this is more about the way he sees life now, after the drugs and near-death, or the ideas and impressions he got from the whole experience, rather than just about being on drugs. Drugs were a way to open the mind and deal with your insignificance. |

| John Frusciante – Chances Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| From the lyrics, it doesn't sound like he ever really expects to be in control of his fate, but instead of worrying about it he just lets go (possibly his near-death from the heroin and infection?). Only in being ready to meet death he found real freedom to enjoy the rest of his life, free to take whatever chances "come and go," free from worrying about other people's reliances on him. Whether from the drugs or the near death experience, he feels like he saw through physical reality to a "multi-dimensional scheme" of life and death and what comes next, and now he's "almost where he'll never be": in control of his fate. | |
| John Frusciante – Time Tonight Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think "changing lines" might be the divisions we each try to make in our minds between right and wrong, moral and immoral, sane and insane... etc If you start thinking deeper about everything and lose yourself in your thoughts, the dividing lines aren't so clear... they blur and change. |

| John Frusciante – A Corner Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Being "put in the corner" as a kid for punishment... As adults, do we put ourselves in the corner, blinding and punishing ourselves for confusing reasons? | |
| John Frusciante – Murderers Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Yeah, could an instrumental song be any better than this? And you're right, it's like the song is flowing along and then just cuts off... like a murder. | |
| John Frusciante – In Rime Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song talks a lot about time. Einstein said time was a totally physical thing, like gravity, and the way we think about is kind of an illusion, so "what's sent ahead is sent behind" could mean that there's no real past or present, and when you die you'll finally see the "immediacy" of it all, and maybe even a pattern or a plan, a rime. | |
