| The Exies – Ugly Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I don't want to sound like an asshole, but I cannot believe that no one got the true meaning of this song! Mainly because the lyrics got messed up. "We are far from SOBER" is one of the most crucial lines!! This song is talking about drug addiction. The singer is a drug addict, and he looks deep into his world of drugs and drinking and sees how ugly it is. To see how everyone is either in denial (turn a blind eye, why do I deny?), depressed (medicate me so I die happy), or the other things that this song said. It's pretty self-explanatory. |

| The Spill Canvas – All Over You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song is really lyrically not good. Instrumentally, it's catchy and all, but it sounds like any other poppish-rockish tune you hear on the radio these days. The only line I find to be worthy in this entire song is "In my daydreams, in my sleep, infatuation turning into disease", mainly because I can relate to it. I have liked someone to the point where it felt like a mental sickness. Other than that, I've heard much better from The Spill Canvas, I think they were focusing too much on making the song catchy rather than meaningful and deep, because a lot of the meaningful and deep songs don't tend to appeal to every listener, so maybe they were trying to do something different to get more fans? Just a thought. |

| The Spill Canvas – Lullaby Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
From my first-hand experience with bipolar depression, ADHD, and other mental disorders, I realize that society and the drug industry often makes unnecessary prescriptions (or at least that is the way other, unmedicated people view it to be). They think, "this girl isn't crazy, why is she on pills." This is what the singer is talking about. He has no personal experience with depression or any mental disorders, so he has a bias that anyone who takes them have to be at least remotely crazy. He sees his girlfriend as perfect, and not crazy in the least, so he thinks that she does not need the pills, that the pills are breaking her down (medicating perfection, now that's a mistake). She is not physically sick, and she is not a drug abuser either. |

| Peter, Paul and Mary – Puff (The Magic Dragon) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is a lot like "Last Dance with Mary Jane" by Tom Petty--it's not JUST about drugs, but it IS about drugs to some extent. First of all, there are too many drug references in this song for it to NOT be about them. I mean, I know that songs sometimes COINCIDENTALLY refer to drugs, but these are WAAAAY too many "coincidents", don't you think? I agree with "shanef". Of all names in the world, the kid's last name is PAPER. Who even has the last name PAPER anyways? And the dragon is green, and they mention that loud and clear. Of all the colors, they picked GREEN. And his name being Puff? Why not "Flames" or "Dragon-y"? But PUFF?!! Come on guys, just because the group denied it, doesn't mean it's true. Maybe they WANT you to think. Sure, this song has a lot of other deeper meanings to it--but it is also veiled with tons and tons of drug references. And if Honah Lee is a real place that is the center of a lot of drugs--why would they include this in a plain old innocent childrens' song? Because it's NOT. Oh, and one more thing: "Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys." Sounds to me as if Peter Paper abandoned Puff (marijuana and heroin) so he can pursue his lifelong dreams. He grew up. He realized that drugs got in the way of his life--"painted wings" probably symbolize a job, a job he's probably dreamed to be in his childhood. That's why it makes him feel like it gives him wings, except it's not, it was planned out and is very much real. And the giant ring is probably a wife and a family--a giant circle of people he needs to be engaged in. That is my interpretation. |

| Chiodos – Intensity In Ten Cities Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think that it's about a guy who lied to a girl about everything to get her to like him, but she's starting to realize that they were all lies and that the entire relationship has been based on a lie, and now the guy feels awful | |
