Panic! at the Disco – Northern Downpour Lyrics 17 years ago
The first stanza hooked me. The rest of the song is good too, but the first stanza is my favorite P!@TD lyric yet. It's beautiful.

Streetlight Manifesto – Forty Days Lyrics 18 years ago
This is the first song I've heard off of the new album. FUCKING AMAZING.

It's sorta anti-christianity without being all "god sux, 666, jesus is fake" typical ignorant athiest.

Streetlight Manifesto – Failing, Flailing Lyrics 18 years ago
Yeah, I noticed that the melodies were the same.

I love this song. Then again, there are very few streetlight songs that I don't love.

Fall Out Boy – G.I.N.A.S.F.S. Lyrics 18 years ago
I got it as a bonus track on my US version....

Hands down, THE BEST song from IoH. In all, I thought the album had redundant themes and flowed poorly within single songs. Then I got to the bonus tracks. Besides agreeing with the title, the writing on this song seems a degree above the rest of the album.

This song+Andy Hurley=my reason to not give up on the band.

Violent Femmes – No Killing Lyrics 18 years ago
Pretty straightforward.

It's the Milwaukee police because the band is from Milwaukee. (With the exception of Victor DeLorenzo being raised in Racine, which is about 20 minutes south of Milwaukee)

Blue October – Schizophrenia Lyrics 18 years ago
I actually get a different meaning to this song.

"A silver-plated numbing gum
And Jesus resting on my thumb"
One of the symptoms of Schizophrenia is seeing things that aren't there to most people.

A hard-to-reach malaria
Schizophrenia isn't that common of a disease, making it hard to reach. Malaria is used as a general term meaning disease or condition, much the same way "fever" is used later in the song.

I've got the mood that seems to scare ya
The general public has almost no understanding of what Schizophrenia is. People are scared of the unknown. For some reason, people assume that people with schizophrenia are all dangerous.

I'm paranoid -- self-destroyed
Paranoia is a common symptom of Schizotypical personality disorders, along with self-destruction. Pretty straightforward here.

Believe me Lord I'm sorry
He didn't want this to happen.

I've got the mood that seems to bury ya
I've got the nightmare called schizophrenia
There's some statistic on the number of people affected by Schizophrenia that die early, due to suicide and other effects of the disease.

I cry, I cry
And I don't know why
The fever becomes my home
He hates it, but it becomes what he's used to. He doesn't hate it any less, but that's the way he knows how to be.

I love it when you're holding me
You have a gentle way of calming
I haven't felt that way since 1993
When my mother held me
Does this stanza need an explanation?

I bet you're waiting for a long sob story
Of how I was mistreated again
A lot of people with mental disorders attribute them to some form of abuse in childhood, be it bullying, domestic violence, rape, whatever.

But no I wasn't built that way
I was strong -- desperately brave
He's above blaming his problems on other people.

I didn't mean to scare ya
What it says.


I love this song.

And Alex, that's 100% untrue. He "found god" after being in jail.

Streetlight Manifesto – A Better Place, A Better Time Lyrics 18 years ago
This is the song that got me into Streetlight.
My foot got crushed earlier this summer. All I was thinking about while it was happening was "Damn, I'm not going to be able to see Streetlight in a few hours!"
These guys rock, and this is my favorite song in the universe.

Streetlight Manifesto – A Moment of Silence Lyrics 18 years ago
I capitalized the I's and the first letter of each line. Voila.

A moment of silence please for those who never get the chance
They show up to the party but they're never asked to dance
The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves
The cynicists, the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing

I never met a loser that I didn't see eye to eye with, I declare
I stare into your eyes
But you look right past me into the air
What's it like to stand in your shoes?
To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse?
I take the bottle and I tip it to all my heroes that have passed
Alas, you have left us but your stories they will last
Uninspired by the recruiting call
Independent we stand
Independent we fall

So tell me: How long do you think you can go before you lose it all?
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?
I don't know but I’d like to think I had control
At some point but I let it go and lost my soul
Sit tight but the revolution's years away
I’m losing faith and I’m running low on things to say
So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite
Oh! To have died that night I realized it wouldn't last!
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
Oh! to the west, you don't know what it is you're running from
And everybody's laughing loud
Your last chance to make your mother and father proud

oh, oh, oh...

A moment of silence please for those who never get the chance
They show up to the party, but they're never asked to dance
The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves
The cynicists, the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing

They said "A pox
Upon your house
Upon your family and everyone you knew
And everyone you'll ever meet"
I bet they think we wish we joined when we could
But we do what we want we don't do what we should
Now everybody's laughing because they're thinking they in on something I don't get
Don't forget
I connect and I read every word you said
Like a child who believes he was wronged
If you hate me so much then stop singing my songs

So tell me: How long do you think you can go before you lose it all?
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?
I don't know but I’d like to think I had control
At some point but I let it go and lost my soul
Sit tight but the revolution's years away
I’m losing faith and I’m running low on things to say
So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite
Oh! To have died that night I realized it wouldn't last!
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
Oh! To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from
And everybody's laughing loud
Your last chance to make your mother and father proud

The Academy Is... – Working Class Hero (John Lennon cover) Lyrics 18 years ago
I love this song and this band, but there is no way they're better than John Lennon. I agree that this is an amazing version of the song, but at least for me, it can't top Lennon.

This song is pretty straightforward in meaning.

Porcupine Tree – Fear of a Blank Planet Lyrics 18 years ago
Obviously a comment on modern society. Technology, sex, violence, drugs, and everything else that goes along with it.

It's kinda eerie how the video for this song came out the morning of the VT incident.

Eve 6 – Bring the Night On Lyrics 18 years ago
He's in a pissy mood, and his girl is mad at him. He was probably somewhat taking it out on her without meaning to. He's trying to get her to calm down and realize that he's not mad at her.

Just my take on it.

Carrie Underwood – Before He Cheats Lyrics 18 years ago
I'm pretty sure it's "Three dollars worth of that bathroom cologne," not "polo."

Polo doesn't make sense. Cologne does.

The Bravery – Time Won't Let Me Go Lyrics 18 years ago
This is just my opinion, but it seems like all the "good times" that people remenisce about never happened to him. He wishes he could go back and relive everything to try to make it better and notice the good stuff.

The song "Summer of 69" focuses largely on nostalgia and summer love. He feels like nothing worth being nostalgiac about has happened to him.

Cherry Valance is a character in the book "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton. Not sure how that ties in. There's probably another Cherry Valance somewhere I'm not remembering at the moment.

Mindless Self Indulgence – Mark David Chapman Lyrics 18 years ago
This is one of the only MSI songs that I can find a semi-intelligent meaning in that isn't related to whores, sex, masturbation, and other things of the sort.

IMO, it's about how every band sounds the same, and how people will obsess over them to the point where it's the only thing in their lives. I may be looking too deep here though.

I love how 99% of people can just accept MSI as fun, weird, and nonsensical. Their music is oddly calming to me.

Billy Joel – Vienna Lyrics 18 years ago
I absolutely love this song, and always have. It's been on repeat for the past 2 days.

I think it's pretty straight forward. He's telling this kid/young adult to slow down and enjoy life.

And for the record, Vienna is most definitely in Austria, not Australia or Italy.
