| Rise Against – Worth Dying For Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I would first like to respond to the comment that this song seems nihilistic. There is no way this song is sung from a nihilistic view point. Nothing rise against does supports nihilism. The first line of the song is "Set me off like dynamite", and there are a handful of other lines that I don't have to point out that call for change. The only kind of uncertainty in this song is the fact that he wants to make a difference but dosn't know how he can revearse all the damage that has been done Next I would like to address the comments about Rise Against being "hippies". This comment couldn't be further from the truth. Just because someone has political views that shift to the left dosn't make them a hippie. These people are openly calling for revolution, even if it is violent. A "hippie" wouldn't do that. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Perfect Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I know my perception of the song is built on a situation I was going through when I was just getting into the smashing pumpkins, but I figured I would share what it means to me. To me this song tells the story of two teenagers who have been very good friends for a few years. They both feel that they can take their relationship to another level, but yet they are both very afraid that they might lose the the great friendship that they have. I heard this song the morning after me and this girl talked about how we really felt and from then on that's what this song has meant to me. |
