| Clutch – What Would a Wookie Do? Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Man, these lyrics are ALL messed up. The thing is, Neil Fallon, being the incredible poet that he is, writes with a TON of double entendres and obscure references to things in literature, popular culture, etc. and basically, if you don't know what those references are, you will ALWAYS misinterpret the lyrics. I have yet to find a correct version of the lyrics to this song on the internet. Now, I don't pretend to know them all myself, but I do know quite a bit of the correct ones for this song, and with that said, I'll try to give my best transcription of them. I'll also try to comment to back up what I think he's saying or what I know he's saying.... here goes nothing. Two oaken doors Open to floors Imported marble Victorian chores Van Gogh-betweens (mixing Van Gogh and the word go-betweens) Bucolic scenes (bucolic means pastoral, or dealing with the countryside, which much of Van Gogh's art definitely was) Machiavellian and all the lesser-named schemes Greyhounds and rabbits go round and round but everybody scatters when the Hindenberg goes down Robber Baronesses Carpet Baggers-ese But honestly speakin' now we all got the same plisses ( - mispronunciation of the french word. It's a way to make pleated fabrics, sort of ties into the carpet bagger reference above) I'm afraid the party's cancelled - What? The servants never showed - Damn! On the wall was penciled A most foreboding note Forest getting ready Man begat too much All the world will suffer The Wookie's wicked clutch The theocrats With cricket bats Hezbollotta love to give (Hezbollah and a lot of love mixed into one word... the irony is that Hezbollah is regarded as a terrorist organization, not one known for "love", and they advocate a theocratic state, based on Islam. Ties into the previous lines) you never take it back A graver danger (You bounce and rape her? bouncing raver? not really sure on this one) Medulla oblongata go (oblongata go... gotta go... another mixed metaphor and might be the key to the previous line but I don't get the connection yet. ) I'll see you all later Ole Festus draggin' one leg behind (okay, nobody is gonna know this, but Festus was the name of a character on Gunsmoke, who limped.) And when the trap is sprung The warrior loses his mind Assassins trippin' High on hashish But honestly speaking now, We all need the same relief One day or another, kid Our war will be gone One day or another, kid All death will be done One day or another, kid Our war will be gone One day General Borders You have your orders Invisible Freemasonry Incoming mortars The flyers landing And are demanding Keep on firing Until the last man standing Stockcars in habits Go round and round But everybody scatters When the stock market goes down Robber Baronesses Carpet Baggers-ese But honestly speakin' now We all got the same disease I'm afraid the hunt's been cancelled The game never showed (game, as in what people hunt) On the trick was penciled A most foreboding note Forest gettin' ready Man begat too much All the world will suffer The Wookie's wicked clutch |

| um... I'm pretty sure it's a song about the Holocaust, and the Nazis who "were only following orders" and such. | |
| Anthrax – Caught In A Mosh Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is about stupid people, and relating dealing with stupid people and assholes to being "caught in a mosh" where everything is confusion, elbows and stomping boots... the song isn't literally about being in a mosh, or moshing at all. And to jp410, the Anger Burns thing is a different song entirely... Joey actually does sing "ooooooohhhh the best that you can do!" but it's high pitched and fast, so if you're not listening for it, you won't hear it. It's not unintelligible though. Well, not garbled nonsense anyway. |

| My interpretation of the song is that it's about terrorism and the war on terror. You can't kill terror. GWAR said so. | |
| Anthrax – Potters Field Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
well, the song is about abortion, and it's told from the point of view of a person who wished his mother had aborted him. It's kind of a "look what kind of piece of shit I've become... it's all your fault because you didn't kill me before I was born" |

The title A.I.R. or Adolescence In Red is a kind of homage/jab to Black Sabbath, specifically Nativity In Black or N.I.B. Other than that, the previous posts are right on. |
