| Tool – Sober Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
dude man, the reason he was such an alcoholic was because his mother was paralyzed and bed-ridden for 27 years (approximately 10000 days, as the latest tool album suggests) before passing away. this song is about all of the guilt that he felt while losing his mother. if you knew anything about losing someone you would know that the guilt can fucking eat you alive man. and as for the "why can't we not be sober" vs "why can't be drunk"... well that just wouldn't quite have the same effect. and he's the artist, he created the song, he can do what he wants with it, haha. as far as i'm concerned, this is probably maynard's most powerful song to date, and the least you can do is atleast appreciate that he got through it all safely and made beautiful music out of it. |

| The Used – Kissing You Goodbye Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| nonetheless i've been listening to this album and so far i think it's fucking good. a lot better than lies for the liars imo. it's kind of reminiscing of their first record's vibe. definitely a lot moodier/sadder than its predecessor. | |

| Slipknot – I Am Hated Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think this song is about channeling your hate and just letting it all out, not giving a fuck. It's their answer to us when the question "What the fuck do I do with all this hate?" is begged. And when they say "(We are) The anti-cancer (We are) The only answer Stripped down, we want you dead" I think the "We are's" are referring to the government, and that they keep feeding us bullshit to try to control us. "(We Are) The absolute (We Are) Controlling you They're closing in, I can't escape" This part further explains my take on it. I might be completely wrong, but who knows. Seems right to me. And I think furthermore that Slipknot is saying to us that it's okay to hate. The whole song repeats the notion that everyone is hated. I think this statement is their answer to just that. We can hate whoever we want, hell we can we even hate Slipknot. This song is our medicine to keep. This is their way of getting through with their problems, and inadvertently, or intentionally, they have made this song an anthem for us to deal with our problems. |

| Underoath – I've Got Ten Friends and a Crowbar That Says You Ain't Gonna Do Jack Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
actually most of the album is about aaron ending a 4 year relationship with someone, and the guilt that he felt because he felt she was never gonna recover from it. in this particular song it makes a lotta sense: he says stuff like "I'm walking out, I'm walking What did you expect of me?" "My mind is so flooded And I'm drunk with regret Swimming in a sea of hope tonight I'll find your hand and trace it with mine As we push AWAY with everything with have left" and aaron even mentions it on his facebook: Underoath's 2004 release They're Only Chasing Safety was, for the most part, written about Gillespie's end of a four year relationship. He told Alternative Press, "I think I would've died if we didn't write those songs. I thought I had ruined someone's life. It's hard to explain, but you can't just pretend that things are great and go on and get married. Underoath's second album with vocalist Chamberlain, Define the Great Line, was certified Gold by the RIAA on November 11, 2006, representing 500,000 shipped units of the album. It is the second album in Tooth & Nail history to reach that distinction. |

| The Black Dahlia Murder – Statutory Ape Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Term used to characterize an oppressive majority, set of standards, or other oppressive mainstream institution. The term was coined by writers Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea in 1975 through the persona of Markoff Chaney, a midget struggling to understand and destroy society's oppressive managerial hierarchy in one of the books of the duo's "Illuminatus! Trilogy." The relevant passage of the term's context is as follows: --- The Midget, whose name was Markoff Chaney, was no relative of the famous Chaneys of Hollywood, but people did keep making jokes about that. It was bad enough to be, by the standards of the gigantic and stupid majority, a freak; how much worse to be so named as to remind these big oversized clods of the cinema's two most famous portrayers of monstro-freaks; by the time the Midget was fifteen, he had built up a detestation for ordinary mankind that dwarfed (he hated that word) the relative misanthropies of Paul of Tarsus, Clement of Alexandria, Swift of Dublin and even Robert Putney Drake. Revenge, for sure, he would have. He would have revenge... Damn the science of mathematics itself, the line, the square, the average, the whole measurable world that pronounced him a bizarre random factor. Once and for all, beyond fantasy, in the depth of his soul he declared war on the "statutory ape," on law and order, on predictability, on negative entropy. He would be a random factor in every equation; from this day forward, unto death, it would be civil war: the Midget versus the Digits.... |
