| Paul Oakenfold – Ready Steady Go Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Combine these lyrics with the video -- http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x59lk1_paul-oakenfold-ready-steady-go_music -- still not sure what the meaning (if any) was intended to be, but it is kind of intense... Do have to wonder if there's any connection with the old UK TV show of the same name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_Steady_Go! |

| Spoon – Was It You? Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Then again, I happened to look at this album's cover just after listening to part of this song, and immediately thought of the Big Bad Wolf up to no good in the woods. Who knows? But I'm curious... | |
| Spoon – The Infinite Pet Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I can see the drug-addiction interpretation sprinkled all over the lyrics, but I'm not sure if that's just me (and Tush). I'd be very curious as to what Spoon was thinking behind this one... | |
| Rush – The Color of Right Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I see: 1. Many people want (and even think they need) stark black-and-white categorizations of what is wrong and/or right (giving them a clear "sense of mission"), and have trouble dealing with situations that don't lend well to such clear absolutes (even keeping them up at night). 2. Sometimes the right thing to do isn't simply the Absolute Right Thing, but something that's perhaps a bit more "good" than "right". 3. The actual right thing to do may depend on circumstances and your relation to the issue at hand (gravity and distance), which affect your perspective of and effect on the situation (i.e., the "light" the helps define your "right"). |

| Rush – Carve Away the Stone Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Just my offhand impressions... It comes across as something of an admonition not to sentence oneself to the fate of Sisyphus, to perpetually roll the ball of chain of past sins and pains against nature (gravity), as the forced position is unstable and the past will not stay where it is so forcably put. Your past will always remain behind you, whether you spend all your energies rolling it around or not. Be true to yourself, do what you feel and know is right, and thus put your own face on all of your actions and your past, and it won't seem so heavy any more, because it fits, it's right, it's you. "If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are!" |
