| The Velvet Underground – Run Run Run Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I can't believe there aren't more comments on this song. It's definitely about heroin. Pretty much all of the lyrics seem to make a reference to it, especially, "Marguerita Passion had to get her fix She wasn't well, she was getting sick Went to sell her soul, she wasn't high" And, the reference to Seasick Sarah. When you don't get your opiate (heroin, morphine, what have you) fix, you get very, very sick. I used to do it...serious shit. But hey, it makes every heroin reference by the Velvet Underground and Elliott Smith make so much more sense--you won't understand until you do it. |

| Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros – Kisses Over Babylon Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I can clarify a couple lines: I have lived in this place For how many years, I don't know My name is Eduardo I was prisoner I want the blood sound Of my deep ears Until we have sung I am prisoner Prisoner ("encanado" means prisoner, however it's not widely used) That's about it though, the rest of your translation is pretty good. I mean, the grammar isn't great haha, but you can get a good idea of the meaning. I hope that makes the first stanza a little easier to understand though, if at all... And yeah, Los Illuminados would translate to The Enlightened Ones (Illuminados should be spelled Iluminados, though, in Spanish)...But I'm not sure if Edward Sharpe means the cult, better known as the Illuminati, or just literally, the enlightened. I agree though, there is a lot more to this song than it appears. |

| Bush – Machinehead Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| A friend of mine told me he heard this song was about Darth Vader...which does actually make sense if you look at it, haha. I'm sure it's got a different, deeper meaning though. I just thought I'd throw that out there... | |
| Blaqk Audio – On A Friday Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
It definitely remands me of drunk sex, like TheSageBush said. A couple weeks ago I got wasted and fucked this guy I didn't know that well, and we both know it happened but we barely remember...I wish we could just forget it ever happened, like in the lines: Safe to say that you won't recall so, let's just pretend nothing happened at all and Safe to say that I can't recall, so let's just admit nothing matters at all |

| Tool – The Patient Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
to me, it's about getting off drugs. like the treament program i'm in right now for alcohol...it's six fucking weeks. you have to get through it for the reward and to heal...but there's still a chance you might walk away from it... If there were no rewards to reap No loving embrace to see me through This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away By now Gonna wait it out If there were no desire to heal The damaged and broken met along This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away By now And I still may... |

| Nine Inch Nails – Even Deeper Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this is me exactly...i've fucked up so many times..with alcohol, sex, pot...i'm only sixteen...i've tried to quit so many times. i'm to the point where i have my ex picking me up from some guy's house, because i fucked him for booze and got drunk off my ass. i got caught for alcohol possession/drunk in public at school..suspension, court...that's not even half of it..and i never cared, i was only happy when i was fucked up...i never realized how bad it had all gotten until just recently... do you know how far this has gone? just how damaged have I become? when I think I can overcome it runs even deeper everything that matters is gone all the hands of hope have withdrawn could you try to help me hang on? it runs... i don't see the point in quitting now, i'm so fucking lost...i don't want to fix my life, i don't know if i deserve it.. ...anyway, i just think this song is about how you realize how fucked up you've gotten and that you need to fix everything but you can't, and it seems every time you try you end up worse off than you were before... |

| Blaqk Audio – Stiff Kittens Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I can't believe AFI went from all the way from real punk to industrial/techno....I mean just listen to any song on their first album, "Answer That And Stay Fasionable" ...it's COMPLETELY different and still Davey... | |

| Bright Eyes – Hit the Switch Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I'm thinking of quitting drinking again I know I said that a couple of times And I'm always changing my mind Well, I guess I am But there's this burn in my stomach And there's this pain in my side And when I kneel at the toilet And the morning's clean light Pours in through the window Sometimes I pray I don't die I'm a goddamn hypocrite Alcoholism exactly...well, mine at least. These are always the thoughts that run through my head when I realize I went to far...again...which is quite often... Anyway, I don't think anyone could have put it better. |

| Weezer – Buddy Holly Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song makes me want to cry every time I hear it...this album was what my boyfriend and I were listening to when we first made out. And we used to sing the lines: Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine Woo-hoo, and that's for all time whenever we listened to this song. But then we broke up and I miss him like hell. I know this is just some sob-story that no one cares about, but i can't stand listening to weezer at all anymore and they're one of my favorite bands. =( |

| Elliott Smith – Rose Parade Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i wish people would stop making assuptions about elliott's depression, alcoholism, and dugs addictions...most of you probably don't even know what it's like to completely despise yourself. but when you do, you can't stop it, and there's nothing you can do to change the way he was. it's a lot harder than you think. and if he wasn't this way, his songs wouldn't be like this. anyway, this website is for the meanings of songs. i think it's about how watching happy people makes you sadder than you already were, and your opinion never seems to matter...especially in this part: "it's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine" |

| Bright Eyes – Sunrise, Sunset Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
-The sunrise and the sunsets, you're lying while you confess, keep trying to explain -But everybody knows it's all about the things that get stuck inside of your head... -For a sunrise or a sunset, you're manic or you're depressed, will you ever feel okay? -The sunrise and a sunset, hold your sadness like a puppet, keep putting on the play But everything you do is leading to the point where you just won't know what to do these lines make this song. i do think it's about manic-depression, but maybe it's because i have bipolar disorder? anyway, these lines are just like it....or for anyone who's ever been depressed. conor oberst is amazing...he puts so simply what has been so difficult to explain. it's definitely one of my favorite bright eyes songs. |

| maybe this song isn't supposed to have the same meaning as pet, but these are the same lyrics | |
| Rilo Kiley – A Better Son/Daughter Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
And sometimes when you’re on You’re really fucking on And your friends they sing along And they love you But the lows are so extreme That the good seems fucking cheap And it teases you for weeks in its absence But you’ll fight and you’ll make it through You’ll fake it if you have to it's about depression in general. i am manic-depressive; and to the people who say it's not about bipolarism, it is. but it's also about chronic depression or any other type. when someone is really depressed, they feel just the same as any other depressed person. it can be about any kine you want. so stop arguing. |
