It's "take only what you need from HIM"
If you watch the video it's pretty clear that they are mouthing HIM and not IT. and it make a whole lot more sense towards the meaning of the song as well. |

Jason preformed at my college a year or so ago and he sang just the beginning verse of this ... like inbetween songs.
I thought he was making it all up on spot and I was so impressed! Then when the CD came out this summer I realized it was rehearsed. I really only like the beginning part of this song though, maybe that's why haha |

My friends and I used to joke about the "back pocket believers" line because it really sounds to us like he's saying 'butt-f*cking' believers every time i hear it. I just remember when i got the cd i played the beginning over and over because it was so hilarious. anyway .... |

Caleb is not abstinent!! Where did you get that from? He's talked about having sex in lots of interviews, but a common joke between the brothers is that he's saving himself for marriage, because obviously that's hilarious considering how sexual his songs are.
Anyway, it seems to be that he saw the girl he likes on video having sex with someone and, although it kinda sucks (bringing me down) he still wants her like before. |

| Kings of Leon – 17 Lyrics

Well it's always hard to interpret their lyrics now because they are great at making up really emotional stuff that never actually happened to them. They (or Caleb mainly) are storytellers.
So the lyrics could mean nothing personal to Caleb or they could mean everything.
When i first heard it I thought of how much time they've spent in spain touring, and how he could have met a girl there, and how i'm sure age doesn't matter to people in spain as much as in the united states. She seems to act older than her age, and sure has a lot in common with caleb if she likes wine, to whine, to drink all the time, and is very wound up and mixed up. Obviously he had to leave her eventually.
I don't really get the brothers frightened line. Possibly he got her pregnant and her brothers were scared for how the baby would be taken care of. But i doubt that. |

Cornerstone is a christian rock/alternative music festival in Illinois. They must have been to that before, which is why he's referencing it. But I dont get the second line "wash my bugle boy a watching my throne"... |

Watching the home movie Caleb says pretty simply, "it's about really good sex". And then they cut to Nathan and he's says "I don't know where he got it, because I'm pretty sure he's saving himself for marriage." It was hilarious. Go watch their home movies. |

If you watch the home movies on their website ... everything after the first verse is completely free style, and they only recorded it this one time (which is why it's a little rough). They were all really wasted, but I guess Caleb was crazy drunk. He says in the video that he could have kicked himself for the 'Jesus doesn't love me' verse. It's so incredibly amazing to know that this is how he feels and though he probably wouldn't have said it in a sober state, he ended up with an unbelievably beautiful song. |

every album they've made, I kept saying it's not going to get better than how they were before they got famous. Even though it's different, this CD is amazing. I think i fall harder for KOL each time i listen to the new album. Also, seeing them live is a must. It's an odd reference, but it reminds me of Hanson when I was younger. There is nothing better than a group of brothers. because they get each other more than anyone else could. ahhh i'm in love all over again.(also kind of hating myself for only being able to get the CD today) |

I hear him say "Little" John, not Lil John... I can swear he dictates the t's. Anyway, I thought he was referring to Little John in all the Robin Hood stories, who was very truthful and intelligent. I also think that's more plausible than him referring to the rapper, Lil Jon ... |

Yeah this was always my favorite song from that album because of the oddity of the lyrics. But i was wondering, does anyone know what the meaning of 'Niagara falls still flows on new years" is? All I can think of is that he means he's always alone on new years (usually you kiss someone at midnight) and therefore he cries (niagara falls is often a metephor for crying alot). Anyone else see that? |

Ok, so I'm a lover of words, and I don't mind some simplicity once in a while, but the lyrics of this song actually make me angry. Such beautiful music and those are the only lyrics she can think to write? I think the point of being a singer/songwriter is to connect to others through your words, or to tell your experiences and feelings through metaphors and symbolism. It's poetry. But this isn't. It's easy to see why this song is so popular... the music is great, her voice is melodic and kind, it's easy to sell that. |

There's actually a part of this song missing..
After
Smoke filled room conversation slow
Just leave me alone with the radio
Can't worry about tomorrow's pain tonight
Alright
There is the part:
End of the tunnel couldn't light my path
Soles wearing down still running fast but
Can't worry about tomorrow's pain tonight
Alright
I don't know why it got left out ... |

Back in July 2002 when my house burned down and my family was almost killed this song was therapeutic for me. I would just put in on repeat and cry for hours. The first part of the song is the most relatable for me because we lived in a hotel for a couple weeks, and I always thought the fire was my fault. So, although it's obvious this song is about a relationship from Andrew's point of view, for me this song was about starting my life over and moving away from where I grew up and not knowing what was ahead of me. I just love that even after 6 years I can listen to this awesome song and be grateful for what it did for me. |

Yeah, mostly everyone's corrections have been right:
- It's decepticons (i don't even think deceptigons is anything... ) they were the autobots enemies so it makes perfect sense, no matter what he sounds like saying
- I'm pretty sure it is winin' and dinin' because Brad and Andrew's mom was Julia Childs's assistant chef I read in an interview, and they all love to cook, so that makes sense. Although it does sound more like writin' in Dighton.
- It's "May give the drummer some"... the drummer Andrew Barr's birthday is in may |

You know I loved this song when I was 16. It was beautiful and all my friends thought John was cute. I remember having this playing when I was learning to drive, actually. But you know what I've realized. I'm 20 now, and I can finally understand what he is saying. I think that is his art. You can love a song for it's beat and how cute the singer is, but it's when you can stop and appreciate the lyrics and their deep meaning that I think you can actually love a song. This is one of those songs. |

The acoustic version of this song is AMAZING. It kicks the album version to the curb. The acoustic version just highlights the words and the vocals more, i think the album version is just them trying to add a lot of drums and electric guitar that isn't even needed. |

I agree 100 percent with Technophobia... i honestly think that whole 'band in a bubble' thing was a wrong decision and gained them these MTV fans that, I think, take away from their musical achievement.
I really think Will makes up for the lack of lyrical greatness with his vocals. He performs this song amazingly.
Plus, I really enjoy short and simple songs such as this one. |

It's hard sometimes, because artists sometimes cut whole sentences into parts because of how that want it to sound... the sentence would be: Sundown paints the shadows through daylight, Amy, on what we do.
Basically, when the sun is going down there are shadows...
even though i knew this song was about Amy, a former girlfriend he's wrote many a song about, i never got the connection "My Amy" from 'Miami'... Great job cravenmonket!
I LOVE the guitar solo in this song! |

Knightskye... it's true that that's what the website and cd booklet say, but if you listen to the song that line isn't even hard to hear properly. He says "yeah i will drink in and always be full" instead of "my cup shall always be full". Maybe they changed it last minute, or he just changed it whilst recording. Either way, what's above are the correct lyrics. |

One of my favorite's!
But i have to point out a correction for the lyrics, it's actually my favorite part:
"what would your mother think OF ALL THIS, and how would your father react? oh lord
would THEY take it all back, what they've done?
THE WAY THEY said take it take it, and he said MAKE IT with your own two hands ...."
it's an amazing part, but the meaning is TOTALLY different with different lyrics... she's telling him to think of his parents, they pushed him out into the world hoping he would do something great, and now that he's doing nothing all day would they be dissapointed in him? would they take back the choices they made for him? |

If anyone hasn't figured it out already "Big Machine" is and always has been a reference to LA, not just in this song, but in general...
