| The Dykeenies – Stitches Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Are you sure? It sounds possible but it does sound more as though it's about memories and how they comfort people - keeping them "safe". The "bounce of bone" and "taste of rain"... 2 senses, touch and taste, that are commonly linked with memories. Probably nostalga to be perfectly honest... I have the exact feelings about my childhood... infact, this song provides a barrier of reasons to look back. Maybe this is the purpose? I don't know - but it certainly has that effect on me. |

| I do, I love this song too. It's so powerful, emotional and true in a sence - yet the beat you would think would be more depressing than "upbeat". | |
| In Flames – Brush The Dust Away Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
If you see what some of you are actually writing, you're using the lyrics to describe what the mean - which makes no sence eg/ When it says "Lets reunite and brush teh dust away" you are saying it means "lets reunite and brush the dust away and start again" which isn't very helpful and extremely vague. The way I see it is the persona being rather "unsociable" and and finds it very hard to put trust within people. Like in the second verse, where it says "Another player joins the table", he could also be stating how life is like a card game, or a game of some sort that involves chance (like poker)- and there are many people who "bluff" - which in reality - means lie about their hand and what cards they posess. The cards could be in relation to his life and therefore show that he see's life itself being an uncertainty or that people see no use for believing each other and that it's an "every man for themselves". This could explain his problem with trust as noone see's right in following the rules we started with when we first were "graced upon" the Earth (sorry im not a religous person, its just a way to put it generically). The Chorus itself could just quite literally saying to start afresh and sort all problems from wrong to right. Along with this, the protagonist could be trying to express how important he believes the value of honesty and friendship and how we shouldn't abuse it. One last thing, elaborating on the idea of how the person belives how important life and friendship is - could be the "Just aim and end another" which caught my eye. He could be saying to large corporations that "It's easy to kill someone because you have killed many from your greed" and therefore may be meaning it in a "sarcastic" sence - but as for the "Rape your mother" I could honestly say it could mean many things - but the one I follow most is how we're "raping" or killing our planet for, yet again, our greed for money and supplies. Sorry if this is bad, but i'm only 15 and haven't done overly much analysis on such metaphorically driven songs - even though they intruige me so much. |

| In Flames – Pinball Map Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Intresting point... I understand it better now - I took it from the point of view that it was about a pinball table and that the ball rebounds in several direction with almost no control over where it's heading - but that also makes sence from the fact that he's talking about - like you said "aaronjs" - how hard the game is to play. Elaborating on this he could also be adding how difficult it is to stay away from the holes in the game which could - terminably - make the ball fall - therefore being a metaphor how hard it is to keep life on the up and how decisions about what to do and where to go - when wrong - can drastically ruin life. This is my perception... bare in mind I'm a 15 year old so if I sound stupid please blame in on my age, lol. | |
