| The Decemberists – The Infanta Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
|
The Infanta was just born; she was pulled from the water and is dreaming about that since that is all she knows. The Baroness is ticked off since she cannot have children of her own and this infant is getting so much attention. |

| Tom Waits – Step Right Up Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I had no idea about that Doritos radio ad.
I used Step Right Up in a short film I made about a mall in NJ; it was up on YouTube for several years before they muted the soundtrack due to copyright issues. But I was not using the song to sell anything, nor would I. It was just the intro to my film, that I made for fun. |

He quits his crappy fast food job but then has nowhere to go (sleeping in a barn) and takes it all back and he ain't sayin' jack. So he says OK I will work at a crap job just to pay the bills. Cuz he ain't doin' dishes in a ditch no more. |

"Personally, I think it's the same brain malfunction that decides at 50 that high school was the best time of your life, and prompts women to have more than one child."
This is hilarious. |

The slums got soul, means that someone who thinks that they know it all because they listen to rap or live in a crap neighborhood doesn't know what it's really like to have it hard. |

| Ministry – NWO Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
It's not inevitable that war is human nature and therefore here to stay. Right now we may not be able to move past it, but humans have evolved past a LOT of things that were called "human nature" and "inevitable" - and as Man evolves we can move past war. "Whiny" Liberals are smart enough to see that and be progressive. Neocons are stuck in one place, not caring to move forward, and get their rocks off starting wars we have no business being in, and we cannot win or finish.
The Hulk Hogan theory is also right. |

I don't think the Turin theory is farfetched! huntmstr laid it out quite nicely, it sounds like that is exactly what this song is about. |

| Beck – Sissyneck Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
|
There are a lot of things in this song that suggest the main character is gay but not open about it. "3 dollar bill" is a euphamism, and a "beard that will disappear when I'm dressed in leather" - a beard is a woman that a guy in the closet will have to cover him so he looks straight. The song is called Sissyneck. It seems to me that the dude goes and hangs with his boys in the evening time but during the day he is with his stolen wife. |

The video is just that; a video. Acting. I'm sure this is not something she actually did or would do. It's a bit bratty, for sure. |

| CKY – Dressed In Decay Lyrics

|
Makes me think of anorexia, "Imperfection she's been told, The positives are undersold" - her family/friends pointing out what is wrong with her instead of supporting her. She hurts herself, stops eating. |

| CKY – Close Yet Far Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
This song makes me think of a guy you used to know who is homeless now. The lyric, "and i'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me
and i never never never ever wanted this to be" makes me feel like someone from his past is seeing him and he is ashamed. |

| CKY – Escape From Hellview Lyrics

I always thought Hellview was a mental institution because of the line, "They make the rounds at the midnight hour and
on the clock it's just a minute away." |

| Pixies – I'm Amazed Lyrics

skitr is right, most everyone gets those words wrong, "So I applied basically, I went out for the team" - definitely speaking in the voice of whomever Kim is talking about, or maybe speaking for Kim, jokingly, just like YOU FUCKIN DIE. When she found out he was into field hockey players SHE went out for the team. Jokingly. |

I read awhile ago that "Smile On Mighty Jesus" was how these hillbilly people people referred to Spinal Menengitis, like they thought that was the name of it. I don't know where the Ween boys heard this. |

I think for this one, Beck put a bunch of words on a corkboard and threw darts. Actually for most songs I think he did that. Someone should make a Random Beck Lyric Generator. |

Are you thinking chicken because in the video they are chasing a chicken with an axe and chopping it's head off? I always thought it was about a vampire. But vampire chicken sounds good too. |

Perhaps Travolta now a circus/carnival freak stared at, limbless, like the end of the movie Freaks? "Remember silver ball" = disco ball? I am not sure if the whole song is about him completely, but it used to be called Travolta so that gives you an inkling. |
