| Neil Young – Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| "out of the blue and into the black" comes from the vietnam war, when soldiers climbed down into the tunnels | |
| John Lennon – How Do You Sleep? Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think its important to point out that after this song/album came out paul contacted john to congratulate him, because paul himself recognised the artistic merit of the song | |

| Ani DiFranco – Recoil Lyrics | 18 years ago |

i think this song is very subjective, but it feels like she has had a truly rough day and gone home to hide away by herself. she tries to rationalise and normalise how she feels, "probably just need to be held, that's probably all it is" then she tries to help herself by helping others, "to all the people out there tonight, who are comforting themselves, if you should happen to see my light, you can stop and ring my bell" to me, that is that feeling of loneiness when you want somebody near, and you want to protect them from what you are feeling. |

any ideas what this means? 'and while we're at it remember the first time around? the bomb? the ryder truck? the parking garage? the princess that didn't even feel the pea?' also, the 'we don't need a weatherman' is a bob dylan reference, his song goes 'we dont need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows' |

| Ben Harper – Crying Won't Help You Know Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| does anyone know what 'pin a rose on me' means? great song, i think it's about someone who has done him wrong, and is trying to apologise and is crying, and he's saying 'no, stop. crying won't help you now' nbut he does forgive her, because lonely just doesn't look good on her | |
| Bush – Glycerine Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| just thought i'd throw in a comment, and i'm sorry if i'm just repeating someone else's thoughts, but i belive if you watch the video, you'll see it's about a bride dying, (maybe suicide) on her wedding day. to me, it begins as a love song but then it's trying to deal with shock of losing that person. the lyrics are kind of disjointed 'now you're here, now you're away' | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Scar Tissue Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
just a couple of things..one, to all the people who say things like 'can we stop arguing about what this song means and just accept that it's a great song?' yes, people get carried away, but the site is songmeanings.net people are here to read and discuss song meanings. as for scar tissue, i just thought i'd throw in a thought, 'step outside, but not to brawl' could mean a couple of things, i would lean towrds a drug deal, but having sex, possibly with a prostitute, could work also. wow that was longer then i thought =) |
