| Pixies – Wave of Mutilation Lyrics

Anyone else think it's cool that Deadpool issues #13 and #14 make up a story called Wave of Mutilation? It's about Deadpool becoming a pirate. I thought the reference to this song was appropriate. |

This song is obviously about curling, where players slide a granite rock across an ice surface to a target, referred to as the "house." |

| Nada Surf – Amateur Lyrics

To me it seems like a battle with depression, and finding someone who helps to realize that it's a problem. I got that from "You make me feel like I'm okay, I could be happy." The line about profession help is the guy admitting that he's tried to self-diagnose/treat it. The rest appears to be just describing how it feels: That everything is good, but there's still that hopeless feeling. At least that's what I get from it. Tell me what you think. |

I think this describes how everything is changing constantly, especially in the media. This is a satirical criticism of how the media claims to provide comfort so they can brainwash people. |

I think this song is about how simple things are such a small part of the big picture, yet they mean so much because they trigger the turnings of the "big wheels." |

| Meat Loaf – Original Sin Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
|
It so isn't about finding an ultimate evil. It's done in a satirical way to demonstrate that no matter how much fun it may seem to sin, nothing will ever fill the gap that being truly good does. It talks about how sin creates false promises of happiness, but in the end everyone must pay for them. |

| Lola Ray – Automatic Girl Lyrics

I always thought this song was about how people nowadays are just feeling what society tells them to, automatically. "automatic guns for automatic boys" says that people are violent without thinking just because they've been brainwashed to think it's right. "everything keeps the right melody i've got a couple of killing machines" is saying that everything is clockwork and when people go off to fight in wars new people will come and take their places, hot off the assembly line. All of this relates to "this is the end of the world as it seems" because with the world becoming based on action and not thoughts life loses meaning. oh and as for the "shrink wrap" thing it's saying that love has become impersonal and available like packaged foods. That's what i got from this... Tell me what you think. |

Generally I agree with what's being said here. i think it's saying that countries, not just America, are so bent on fighting for freedom, and at the end wonder if after all the death and destruction was worth it. It's posing the question, "Can we be resposible for all the pain we've caused if we didn't mean to cause it?" and I think the obvious answer based on the tone of the song is, yes we screwed up. |

| Moneen – Don't Ever Tell Locke What He Can't Do Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
|
John Locke was the philosopher who created the idea that "all people have the right to life, liberty, and property" as in the basic rights(that the American government is based on) . Therefore the title is referring to him, saying it is useless to tell him not to do something because he will argue that it is his right. |
