| Washed Out – Feel It All Around Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I believe the lines definitely are as follows (esp. note last two). And the song is about pure and beautiful forgiveness of someone the writer loves who is confessing a mistake. You feel it all around yourself You know it's yours and no one else You feel the thought of love again It's all alright In spite of all the things you did, We'll work it out. |

| I think it means "fathers" and "mothers" | |

| I think this means they're doing coke in the bathroom? | |
| Looking Glass – Brandy (you're A Fine Girl) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I believe the man that came in and stole her heart is a Christ-figure. He is currently in a war, fighting the wiles of the sea (much like Hemingway's Old Man and The Sea) or perhaps just simply married to his job, the Navy. But there is hope. Brandy seems to think that he is coming back. I don't see that she is a drunkard. I see her being the sober wife-to-be of this Christ-figure who she hopes will return. | |
| Blur – Song 2 Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| He is talking about having heavy metal running through his veins. It seems not by choice, perhaps that he is in a bloodline that required it as part of a ritual. Heavy metal in your veins causes the feeling of crawling on your skin or pins/needles pricking. And it sounds like he is a narc too. "I lie ... I'm easy". He is also referencing this alien person who is operating on his head ... much like Eminem does in his song "Without Me" ... "rocking the table while he's operating". Blur is saying he knows it is going on, but the songwriter doesn't know the person doing the operation, hence "Pleased to meet you." That's my take anyway. | |
| Roxy Music – More Than This Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I looked this up after hearing Bill Murray singing it in "Lost In Translation" during a karaoke. It is a well-picked song for the movie because as I see it, the song is about lost souls enjoying the moment. If you like this song, I highly recommend the movie. | |

| Harvey Danger – Flagpole Sitta Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
QUESTION: What is the similarity of Dropkick Murphy's song "I'm Shipping up to Boston", Butthole Surfers' "Pepper", and Harvey Danger's "Flagpole Sitta"? ANSWER: They all talk about losing a leg. Two of them talk about a pole. I'm puzzled. Lost my leg? I believe this is a symbolic way of telling the world something far different. This I gather from the fact that Harvey Danger is NOT an amputee. He still has his legs, even though he hinted that he had lost them in his song. So what does that mean? It is like something in ebonics from a Snoop Dogg song. It only has meaning to the small group who knows what it means. Everyone else thinks because the songs don't make sense on first glance (such as Beck's "Loser") they include nothing more than a bunch of gibberish that sounds cool put together. I disagree. It is my opinion that "losing a leg" means that you cannot run anymore. Run from what? The law. These songs are talking about people who may have gotten sucked into the nasty underworld of the informant institution (narcs?). They lost their legs symbolically. Interestingly, "Shipping up to Boston" was played during the movie "The Departed" which shows a web of informants of all types. I believe they chose that song for a reason. It has nothing to do with pirates. Furthermore, Flagpole Sitta ... I think of as "babysitter" but on a flagpole. Maybe a hidden camera or something? Or how a narc feels like he is babysitting his criminal. I am unsure what the reference means, but Dropkick Murphys talks about losing his leg in "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" during his climb up the topsails (pole?). This idea seems to be connected. To further my argument that this is about him being a narcotics informant, look at his suggestion "I'm going underground with the moles diggin' holes". Rats or moles are slang for informants. And he is hearing voices in his head ... either from the drugs or ... maybe from being wired to the cops in a stakeout. However bored these cops in the stakeout might be about the fact that there is nothing going on perhaps? Earlier in the song it talks about going to the "hospital". This is a common slang term that drug cops use to refer to jail (where a junkie can "dry out"). So I believe when he is saying "put me in the hospital for nerves" ... he may be talking about being put in jail for a short time before he "lost his legs" ... having to bow down to the cops he had previously been running from. And now he is in hell because he has to catch someone in the chain who is higher up than he was. Classic narc story. |
