| of Montreal – Disconnect the Dots Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| From the first time I heard this song I have associated "disconnect the dots" with drugs, referring to the drugs, most liekly acids, ability to open up your mind. But thats just me. Oh and isn't of Montreal's similarity to The Beatles a bit scary even? | |
| Rise Against – Generation Lost Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Yea the song does deal with more than one issue but it's fucking Rise Against. Thats how they roll. Although i see how it can be applied to the past I definitely believe its about our generation. Caring less about the homeless millions All the petty problems that go with them Reap the profit that reaps thier lives and Tell me that it's fine Throw them out and call it relocation Lower-income-housing quick solution A Generation lost These are the issues of today. Homeless millions don't have to be in The US. The Sufferer And The Witness deals mostly with the mistreatment of the indigenous people all over the world. Just his tone seems like its Tim screaming at all of us to get up and do something hence: "Turn your blind eye when duty calls" doesn't really have to be about serving in the military just being proactive. And as for the speech in the end I'm not sure why thats there but it really does make the song. |

| Rise Against – To Them These Streets Belong Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
When i hear this song I think of Native Americans. I live in NY so I have seen them protesting. (There is a reservation nearby upstate.) To no one do the streets of America belong to more than to them. "So look in my eyes, what will you leave behind once you've gone? you got what you came for now i think it's time to move on" This could be the Explorers who conquered this land. "Head hung from shame we bear a weight that brings me to a crawl these years of longing tell decades of unwashed calls for a change" After being kicked out of your own home wouldn't you feel some sort of shame, and longing? "My hands are soaking in the blood of angels on broken wings they collapse dark clouds exploded and torrents of rain fell all these lost halos wash away" This could be Tim's dedication to all the innocents killed during the brutal takeover. Just my opinion, what I've always got from the song |
