Said The Whale – Out on the Shield Lyrics 13 years ago
The song refers to the geographic region of Canada known as The Canadian Shield. The region's settlement by Europeans came largely as a result of the Gold Rush. It's talking about the idea of major cities still there today that exist because of the greedy obsession of people from generations past, as well as the idea that cities still exist in places where the original settlers had no intentions of making a permanent settlement. Their plans were to get the gold and get out.

Weezer – Wanda, You're My Only Love Lyrics 15 years ago
Actually, You Gave Your Love was written separately, but ended up being used because the studio didn't like Wanda, which is written from the perspective of Angus. Part of why they didn't use it is because in the original cut of the film, it was established that the character's father was gay and that his mother was a trucker. However, the movie was recut to have the mother dead and no mention of the father's homosexuality was made.

The "Bijon" mentioned in the song is not the perfume, which is actually called Bijan, after its designer. He's referring to bijon, the Asian rice-noodle dish.

Motion City Soundtrack – Last Night Lyrics 15 years ago
I don't know where people are getting the idea that the song occurs at a party, I don't get that message anywhere from these lyrics. This song is about his girlfriend breaking up with him because of his mental illness and anxiety issues. He is dealing with his anxiety throughout the whole song, evidenced through lines like:

My panic research was no help
I sink into myself
Afraid of the fall that never ends
I wait, but I'm too tired to play pretend
I'll suffocate until the end

When the girlfriend repeats these lines at the end, it shows she is breaking up with him over the same things he's been frustrated with throughout the whole song.

Tom Waits – Romeo Is Bleeding Lyrics 16 years ago
I don't think this song is about the Romeo character being injured or shot or literally bleeding. I think it's more metaphorical, saying that he's experiencing a deep emotional pain that he can't show to his fellow pachucos because they look up to him as their leader. He's trying to maintain the facade of being cool, composed, and unhurt, but the pain he is experiencing is killing him, and even while putting up the act he's constantly aware of it.

Company of Thieves – Even in the Dark Lyrics 17 years ago
It's about how our culture is so materialistic, and we have our priorities so mixed up, valuing the material before living creatures. She sings how we must try and find our calling and find meaning in our lives despite the obvious materialism and other factors working against that goal.

Billy Bragg – Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards Lyrics 17 years ago
I saw him play it on the Henry Rollins show, and these were the updated lyrics he was using. There are a few parts that I can't tell what he's saying:

It may have been Camelot for Jack and Jaqueline
But on the Hugo Chavez highway filling up with gasoline
Little Donald Rumsfeld spies a rich lady who's crying
Over luxury's disappointment
So he walks over and he's trying
To sympathize with her
But he thinks that he should warn her
To prepare to be bombed back into the Stone Age

In the former Soviet Union the citizens' demand
To know why they're still the target
Of Strategic Air Command
And they shake their fists in anger
And respectfully suggest
That we take the money from our missiles and
Spend it on our hospitals instead

The Cold War now is over
But the stakes are getting higher
I'm frightened of collateral damage and of friendly fire
And I don't believe we can defeat no Axis of Evil
By putting smart bombs in the hands of dumb people

Mixing pop and politics, they ask me what the use is
I offer up my acupuncturist, my masseuses
While looking down the corridor
Out to where my ego is waiting
I'm looking for the New World Order

Jumble sales are organized
All my mates got back
Even after all this time you can still send me a fax
You can be active with the activists or
Sleep in with the (????)
I'm waiting for the great leap forwards

One leap forwards, two leaps back
Will YouTube give MTV the sack?
Waiting for the great leap forwards

Well, here comes the future and you can't run from it
If you've got a (????) I wanna be on it, mate
Waiting for the great leap forwards

In a perfect world we'd all sing in tune but
This is reality, not American Idol
Waiting for the great leap forwards

So join the struggle while you may
The revolution is just an ethical haircut away (???)
Waiting for the great leap forwards

Toby Keith – Courtesy of the red, white, and blue (angry american) Lyrics 18 years ago
Toby Keith is a blubbering fascist. Rednecks the world over saluted this sick excuse for a human being when he released this liquid shit of a song. These people are almost as big of piss-garglers as Toby Keith himself. The War on Terror is a joke, and Tony Keith can go fuck himself.

God is fake, and so is the devil, but if they were real, Toby Keith would likely spend all of eternity being raped by Satan himself. Fuck him.

Alan Jackson – Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is purely an expression of ignorance. I respect Jackson for paying tribute to those who died in 9/11, but this cumrag touts his ignorance of other cultures and beliefs the same way he flaunts his piss-poor music. His comments about turning off violent movies to watch "I Love Lucy" reruns, while going out and buying a gun, are laughable at best. Dustin' off the ol' Bible, I Love Lucy reruns? Give me a break. This yearning for backwards 1950's ideals makes me sick. Fuck Alan Jackson, he's a talentless piece of shit who makes me want to fucking puke, and I would sooner receive oral sex from a shark before listening to this song again.

Sick City – In The Millions Lyrics 18 years ago
The entire "Where Do We Go From Here?" EP is about a guy who goes to Vegas, without telling his wife, with the intent of making it big on the strip. While he's there, he gets really drunk, cheats on his wife, loses all his money, then dies in a car accident. This is the first song, talking about how stoked he's gonna be to call his wife up on the way home to tell her he's rich.

Norma Jean – The Shotgun Mwssage Lyrics 18 years ago

Norma Jean – Vertebraille - Choke That Thief Called Dependance Lyrics 18 years ago
Not all of Norma Jean's songs are about god. They are a Christian band with Christian members, and some of their lyrics deal with Christianity, but not all of them. For example, the lyrics to "Cemetary Like A Stage" is about the death of his father. I think it's preposterous to try and trivialize a brilliant band like Norma Jean by pigeonholing their lyrics to featuring solely Christian subject matter.

He Is Legend – Mushroom River Lyrics 18 years ago
These lyrics and the corrections to them are both wrong. These are the lyrics from the CD booklet.

The trees are alive
They held their arms up high
And with a whisper, they sighed
Your name against the wind
Your skin was surprised
Your hair grew out to cover your new blisters
I tried to learn about your sin

I used to be you
And you used to be me
Her body is a drug
That's why you feel so crazy
We are the things that were
And we shall be them again
Although these were all dreams
We'll never wake from them

That's when someone spoke
The crippled river decided his legs
Were not broke, and stood up above me
I watched as he choked
And threw up all the ships that had been buried
I woke with you next to me

I used to be you
And you used to be me
Her body is a drug
That's why you feel so crazy
We are the things that were
And we shall be them again
Although these were all dreams
You will never wake from them

Hello, wanderer, I
Wish you'd let me talk to her, I
Have so much to say

And hello, magic man, please
Teach me to stand again
There is so much to see

Hello, honey child
You sure can drive me wild
I wish you'd let me peak

Hello, strangest stranger
I hate to put your life in danger
You are the one I seek

You must have lost your mind
Scratched off the warning sign
I watched the dancers bow
Just as the ghost wolf howled
