I think this song has to do with the dude's girl smoking too much tobacco... yeah that's got to be what this song is about.

Minus the Bear – When We Escape Lyrics 17 years ago
tylrllstr75: WTF?!? you must work for Fox News if you can spin this song to sound so horrible. Either that, or your comment is a reflection of your character?

This song is about a man's lust for a woman at a house party. He becomes immediately entranced by her at incredulous levels.

Someone's pulling me out of the house
The cars are parks up and down the street

these two lines just refer to the party being so packed (cars up and down the street) that the girl pulls him out of the house without even realizing where she came from and initially who she was (hence "someone")

"escape" is a metaphor for sex

the white lie is "we're both alive" while having sex: the exaggerated expressions, the sounds, etc

catchy measures of the pulse: replace catchy with pleasurable and replace pulse with rhythm.

I love the sound of this song but the lyrics are a bit too hedonistic for my tastes...

System of a Down – Toxicity Lyrics 17 years ago
Serj seems to be hip on drugs. This whole "seeds" debacle sounds to me like it's most likely recreational drug use (opium poppy seeds, syrian rue seeds, morning glory seeds, hell... even khat) "past time activity"/toxicity sounds like drug use to me...

Spoon – Utilitarian Lyrics 18 years ago
I believe the meaning of this song was missed. It is solely about utilitarianism

Catacomb be my security - a clever choice of wording as catacomb is generally a labyrinth of of grave sites. When combined with security, he is relying on his wrongdoings to be buried in a labyrinth and forgotten.
Count it off be my big sister - he's asking himself to justify his wrongdoings 'for the greater good' and he relies on this justification like a big sister
I walked for forty-six blocks - his wrongdoings are bothering him as it is taking him a long time to get over them
You've been putting it off but come on - his subconscious is urging him to get over them
I've got meat in my arms - he's convincing himself that he's not weak
I've got steel in my teeth so come on - and that he can swallow or chew almost anything down - so come on!
Making out taking out - showing the contrast of indulging in something good only to take out (kill) something else
heartache adulate - trying to justify pain through excessively praising what good came out of his actions
Oh yeah we're in love with this perverted world so come on - this is a reaffirming statement to say 'utilitarianism is great!'
The last sentence is very ambiguous and perhaps the most important line of the song and sadly I can't derive anything thats relevant to the song.. can someone help me out on that line?

I should also point out the obvious that this is an attack at utilitarianism through first person perspective

and I love that part where he flashes falsetto in the middle of utilitarian too!

Youth Group – Daisychains Lyrics 19 years ago
I believe this song depicts a romance of his where he has made a mistake. Now the desire to be back together is haunting him. He then refers to Haig vs Boneparte as he will continue to keep taking casualties in the hopes of this woman than retreating such as Boneparte did (island of St. Helena). This is nicely followed up by the pleading of her image to leave and followed after that by the thought of her being gone to express that it is still there. Then the last two verses are repeats of the first two to represent the looping thought that her leaving him will always torment him. Taking casualties like Haig.
