| Alice in Chains – Black Gives Way To Blue Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
So obviously about the death of ol' Layne Staley, RIP. But what gets me the most is the ending. It's sudden, and leaves you unfulfilled in the song, like they should have extended the chorus and made a finale instrumental, as in most songs. But I now think that was the point. It's a song about Layne's death, his SUDDEN death, and when someone close to you dies suddenly, it seems like their life, as well as yours, is unfulfilled. Like there should be something more, if even extended slightly and made with a final note. Not just stopping at the snap of one's fingers. Like if someone you knew died and you weren't there when it happened, you would want to wish to speak to them one last time before they passed.
The only difference is, I can just put the track on repeat, and make it seem like the song never ended, it just paused before restarting, as if the song would never end (I'm not sure if Jerry intended it to be like that, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did). Sadly, you can't do that with someone's life. And if you could, life would be pointless. Everything is pointless without death. |

Along with "To Myself I Turned", this has to be Christina's best vocal performance with the band. She sounds so amazing in this song, and I'm glad this is one of the hopeful, uplifting songs; a nice break from some of the angsty dark songs. |

| Depeche Mode – Personal Jesus Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
According to songwriter Martin Gore:
"It's a song about being a Jesus for somebody else, someone to give you hope and care. It's about how Elvis was her man and her mentor and how often that happens in love relationships; how everybody's heart is like a god in some way, and that's not a very balanced view of someone, is it?"

| Stone Sour – Zzyzx Rd. Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
It seems Stone Sour is like a big crossover of Stone Temple Pilots and Alice In Chains, with a few Velvet Revolver elements thrown in (the VR elements more prominent in Come What(ever) May). The STP elements being the mildly grungy instrumentals for the lighter songs, and the AIC elements applied to the vocals (somewhat), the harder songs, but also the acoustic/really light songs, since AIC released several acoustic EPs. And the VR elements are sort of that fast-paced modern rock sound, like with some of the songs in CWM (e.g. 30/30-150 and Come What(ever) May).
As for this song, obviously about family, but I think Corey left it open for interpretation, and for everyone to use, rather than just himself. |

LOL @ the Jim Carrey things. I think they might have been purposely added, but like many Tool songs, they design them that different people get a different perception of them. So maybe the Jim Carrey, and my "Bad LSD Trip" theories are both true to the song, as well as other theories with other posts. |

| Tool – Rosetta Stoned Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
This song, along with "Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman)" is about the dark side of LSD. Hoffman is the last name of the doctor (not in the song) who, quite literally, discovered the chemical LSD by being subjected to it by mistake, hence "Blame Hoffman" for losing your keys...which is probably some sort of variant of "Losing your marbles". In "Lost Keys" when the doctor asks the patient what happened, it turns into Rosetta Stoned
This song is obviously about the person who's high on LSD, his confusion. Because LSD can be one of the most harmful drugs, mentally. Otherwise explaining how Maynard speaks so quickly and is speaking of stupid things, conspiracy theories with Area 51 and other things of those sorts.
While generally LSD was a sort of spiritual escape for some people, others weren't so fortunate and were scarred for life. Rosetta Stoned is obviously an assumption of people's view points that suffered from negative LSD effects. |

This was the first song in musical history to feature the word "fuck", no kidding. Bad language in those times was a no-no.

| Eddie Vedder – Society Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
This song is my anthem because society's a bitch.
You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free
society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed
is a reference to how humans think they need quote, unquote "stuff" to be "happy and free". i.e. Ipods, computers, TV, all that bullshit. I mean, sure I like that stuff, but not to the extent where i sperate myself from, nature (Which the point of the movie is don't seperate yourself from nature, don't let society make you who you are). Well I live in Maine, and there isn't much society here except for a few small towns. I'm happy with the little house I'm livin in now, I don't need a huge McMansion in the suburbs with three cars (one being an SUV) and I don't need electronics to be happy. The song just totally describes my feelings to the whore society. |

Ashes Divide is good, and this song is their best (next to Ritual) tho I can't help but admit it's kind of generic. Not saying it isn't good, saying there's allot of other bands that sound like them...or maybe it's Billy's voice. I think his voice is generic, no offense AD fans. Just my opinion. |

In reference to the one guy that told us about the RATM album renegades, it was complete shit, Rolling Stones sounds WAY fuckin better than RATM, and anyway out of the eleven or ten songs on that album, I only liked three.
And to THIS song, it's awesome, and just because YOU may not like Tears for Fears doesn't mean you have to be a complete douche bag licking, dog fucker to ppl who DO like them. Personally, I hate 80s music, but I'm not gonna go on an asshole tirade on people who do like it. So anybody that does that kind of "Ur moosik sux" bullshit can have a nice hot cup of SHUT THE FUCK UP, courtesy of me. |

I like intelligent and deep music. Lateralus personally is my fav Tool ablum, but 10,000 days parts 1 and 2, Vicarious, and Jambi are my fav songs on 10,000 Days. I basically like ALL of Lateralus (especially Parbol/Parabola [I can't listen to Parabola without hearing Parabol first]) At first I thought this song was about Jesus and the Virgin Mary, but after reading the posts it's definetly about Maynard's mother I perceive. |

| A Perfect Circle – Gravity Lyrics

3:37 into the song the new riff sounds, not exactly, but VERY similar to the main riff in Godsmack's "Spiral". Could this be a hint about "choosing to live" because "Spiral" is about reincarnation, which is believed in the Wiccan religion. But the "choosing to live/reincarnation" could mean that the person recovering from drugs is creating a new life, because if you're addicted you might as well be dead. I had noticed the "Spiral" riff in the song for the first time yesterday, you guys can take a listen to "Spiral" the listen to the 3:37 point in "Gravity" if you want. |

This is my fav Godsmack song. I like their calmer stuff and their acoustic CD allot. I more listen to Disturbed for the harder metal, but I still have all of Godsmack's hard songs...or atleast the ones I liked. I'm not really crazy for metal, just a few choice bands. But I try others briefly to see if I like them. I keep my mind open to all music. |

When I listen to a song I want to know the meaning. Lateralus has to be the most complex and hard to decipher song I've ever listened to. Next to Parobol/Parabola this is my fav Tool song. From what I've read in this comment thingy I have to say that this song could mean different things to different people. For me? It means to me that life is something not to be wasted and unappreciated, no matter how crappy it is, because who knows what's beyond life? |

FunkyPunky1 is right. It just goes to show how bastardized religions were and still are. Everyone seems to think pick your one religion and kill non-believers. IT'S THE 21ST CENTURY, WAKE UP. And GOOD Catholic, Muslim, or Jew knows that killing each other isn't the answer. But this song reminds me of Evangelical Christians. They wanna take over thw world "For Christ" and make everything what they want. They're like Nazis. To get the ol' driftola I suggest watching the documentary "Jesus Camp" |

This is my favorite Soundgarden song. Bands don't scream any more and it's a shame. The scream in "Won't get fooled again" by the Who is great. A few Tool songs have screaming. But Cornell fucking...When I first heard this song I was thinking
"This guy is using a computer to make his voice higher!" And I think it's about the political thing. The Slaves being...like Wal-Mart uses communist slave labor and the Bulldozers something like land development. Using cheap labor on dangerous and environmentally unhealthy grounds. |

Chris is an ass but personally I don't think Tool or Rage are the greatest in the world. Sure i like their music but personally I like the oldies the best. I could say that or I can be like Chris and say "Tool is fucking retarded and bullshit" Actually I've never heard this song and it sounds interesting. Tool and Rage are my favorite political bashing bands. ANd actually 23 Eye person if you want a long and complex song listen to Neil Young's 18 minute "Ordinary People" It may not be your taste but Neil sings from beginning to end for the whole time pausing a few moments to do a small solo. And also I the older bands are better at playing their instruments than any modern band I've listened to. But if anyone here bashes me they are retarded because I didn't be an asshole like Chris. Sure accuse me of being pompous because POMPOUSNESS IS MY LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTERISTIC OF ALL TIME! If anyone decides to reply they have permission to email me. It's on my profile. |

Also the lyrics submitted are obviously from the Awake-The best of Live album because in the Awake albums the song's 4mins. The one on Throwing Copper is six minutes long. I hate when songs are cut short! I bought a CCR greatest hits album and half of Susie Q is cut off. Anyway my favorite part of the song is the background vocals,
"here I am locking horns with the stallion
failing to hold my head up, I'll go back again
pillar of davidson feeling to hard to go down
cheaper than all souls he will walk upon
deeper and deeper in love so I hold my head up
cheaper than all souls he will walk upon
pillar of davidson feeling to hard to go down."
Great song |
