| Kanye West – Breathe In, Breathe Out Lyrics

Yeah, I'm not sure what the reference is to, I hope Kanye isn't inferring that Mos and Talib often talk about ice/gold, because that's pretty far from the truth. There's definitely no bad blood though, obviously, considering he's worked with both rappers. |

Easily one of Converge's best songs. Really great imagery in the lyrics, as usual. |

| Sleepytime Gorilla Museum – 1997 Lyrics

I think this song is almost a satire. SGM normally writes music railed in high vocabulary and strange, obscurist messages. 1997 probably pokes fun at driving songs or party songs by unintelligent bands that ramble about bullshit [hence the fact that the lyrics are barely coherent.] |

I don't understand anything The Mars Volta says. I feel so dumb when I read their lyrics. Omar and Cedric are almost sardonically verbose, I think its a joke to them, those bastards. Hmm, maybe they just have serious access to dictionaries/thesauruses. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Tonight, Tonight Lyrics

The album "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" is a loose concept dealing with the metaphor of life and death cycle. Since this is the first actual "song song" on the album, I think it represents new beginnings and birth, sort of a few friends who have all this hope and ambition for a spectacular night. Its about letting go of whatever has happened in the past and trying to start anew in one miraculous night. I...I love the goddamn Pumpkins. I honestly testament that this is the most beautiful song ever written. |

| Sleepytime Gorilla Museum – Helpless Corpses Enactment Lyrics

This is indeed from James Joyce...perhaps the most difficult book to read that I have ever come across.
Leave it to Sleepytime Gorilla Museum to confuse their audience with obscure and arcane references. But the video is chilling and very amusing, you should check it out.
As far as the meaning, I know Finnegan's Wake is about a man who dies [obviously named Finnegan], and at his wake, attendees start to brawl. Someone accidentally spills whiskey on Finnegan's corpse and he rises from the dead. Other than that....I've got nothing. Good luck to anyone out there who's willing to decipher this. I say we get Frasier on the job. |
