| Mastodon – Octopus Has No Friends Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
“Octopus Has No Friends”, musically, watching Brent [Hinds, guitarist/vocalist] play that song, it sounds like you’d need eight tentacles to play that guitar riff. After visiting the Georgia Aquarium months ago, Brann came back and said, “Man, I don’t think the octopus ever has any friends, ‘cause he’s always in the tank alone. There’s a starfish in there, but it’s far away. Does the octopus have friends, or does he enjoy his recluse environment?” These are just questions we have, and we’re not ashamed to put those into songs and let that be known." - Troy |

This song is based on the track Miracles of Youth by Bradford Cox (from the album Ben Eberbaugh: A Rockin' Tribute) The lyrics I posted down there were kind of a mix of what I heard in VHS and M.o.Y. |

| Devo – Gates Of Steel Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Jerry Casale answered a question about Gates Of Steel during a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" session: Q: "Gates of Steel is a contender for my all-time favorite song. Can you share anything about how the song came about?" A: "I was working a horrible job at a Methadone clinic and I needed a release." I don't know if the song is about methadone clinics, but, It seems to be the reason the song exists. |

| No Age – You're A Target Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
And your face is all see, I'll tell you why When you hurry past me, don't believe that I Just wanna make you breach security My world gets ugly when you're not with me I get laughed at I wanna be like you, dude If you're a target Then I guess I'm one too I don't believe you, but I won't believe them too You mount, and I got nothing left to do Of problem's that I think of in my sleep I don't want nothing, nothing wrong with me I get laughed at I wanna be like you, dude If you're a target Then I guess I'm one too No matter what I'm already gone No matter what I can't think at all And your face is all see, I'll tell you why When you hurry past me, don't believe that I Just wanna make you breach security My world gets ugly when you're not with me I get laughed at I wanna be like you, dude If you're a target Then I guess I'm one too |

I've looked I've seen, I've seen I've looked I will always see, I've seen For the miracles of youth I've looked I will always see, I've seen When friends go away for a while They always come back But now, if friends Go away for a while And they never come back |

| Gnarls Barkley – Blind Mary Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Since forever. Blind Sally? Doesn't work. Blind Jennifer? Nah. Blind April? Hmmm...How about Blind Mary? Hey, that has a nice ring to it! I saw Gnarls live a few months back and right before they played Blind Mary, Cee-lo said "If you have love in your heart and share that love with someone, then sing along!". Seriously, stop lighting up joints when they play this song live. You're embarrassing yourselves and pissing other people off. |

| Gogol Bordello – Not a Crime Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Eugene Hutz doesn't even do drugs, he only drinks alcohol. I get the feeling that Ras Kush, the guest MC on the song, thought it was about marijuana though. If it weren't for his lyrics then I think most people wouldn't be confused and think the song is about something so trivial as pot. |

| "This is a song about my best friend Sarah Hemmings, and her basement of horror in Marietta, Georgia" | |
| No Age – Eraser Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| 99% sure this song is about an incident that happened a few years ago where Dean got in a car accident with one of the Backstreet Boys. It was the BBoys's fault (and he didn't have car insurance) so he gave Dean some out of court money which was later used to start the Post Present Medium record label. | |

| Gnarls Barkley – Blind Mary Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"Blind Mary is anyone who can love unconditionally and that's a rare quality" - Cee-Lo, from an interview by The Guardian "It represents a certain kind of person and a certain kind of love. This particular girl can't see, so material and shallow things just aren't of any concern to her. It's about how she really feels about me, without judging me. That unconditional love teaches me how to love her despite her disability. Of course, we're all disabled in one way or another." - Cee-Lo, from an interview by Rolling Stone |

| Deerhunter – Hazel St. Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
A little bit after I posted these lyrics Deerhunter released the official version on their blog. ----- There was no connecting my actions with words In the bright sunlight, the movement of birds The car ride home, was blinded again The light would not focus the light would not bend There’s no use calling I know what you’d say Over and over it ended today Worlds lost their meaning and could not explain Why the subject was always just out of frame I was sixteen I lived on Hazel Street Protect me from the scene And guide me with your heat Ice forms in sheets There melting in the street ----- |
