| Rush – Tom Sawyer Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think the song is more of a portrait than anything else, describing a certain type of people that I think are more common now than before, they're the "mala suertes" the bad types, well really the bad good types. They're the disillusioned high school student, the merry bum, that friend who's lunch you end up paying for and like for reasons you don't think exist. (in the space he invades he gets by on you) | |
| Eve 6 – On The Roof Again Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think the song is less about being the person in the song, and more on how everyone has that friend who's a complete fool for relationships. It's about your friend marrying young, marrying someone who's not good for him, pulling a jackass move, and then you have to deal with the crisis management when shit goes bad | |

When I was in high school my friend 'sang' this during a talent show (he's mexican american), and they hicked hom off right after he said, 'so they got to night school, and they take spanish, and get a B" We were laughing our ASSES off! |

Great song, as for the meaning, I think its been stated already, but here it goes... The song is about LA/Hollywood/human nature It details how people long to go there, to this great place of fame and intrigue (little girls from sweden...) And then once they get there, they find that it can REALLY fuck them up. (Teenage bride with the...) And Hollywood is also changing the world, people begin to believe that plotlines from hack writers of B-list movies are the truth, (Psychic spies from China...) Then the rest of the song reinforces it It also applauds free-thinkers though, like Cobain The song applauds him for exposing the sphere (the Earth) to different, albeit similar music Which brings us to 'Station to Station', besides the references people already put down, there is another. David bowie recorded that album after he came to the states and lived in LA for a while. Before he came here, he was a more idealistic and happy, sort of. Then, while he was here, he was TOO idealistic, he indulged in a lot of things and wound up with a HUGE coke addiction RHCP is saying that Hollywood is rougher, darker, and more sinister than it appears. |

Such a good song, with four distinct parts too, shame it was never a single because of its length, but I always interpreted it as this: The Thin White Duke: The name itself is an allusion to cocaine, thin and white referring to a line of coke, and Duke referring to the sort of feeling of grandness that comes from it, The Lyrics in the song referring to him depict him as this sort of bitter, jealous person who hates love in between hits. In other words, Station to Station refers to the TWD, or Bowie if you prefer, being in transition from one hit to the next, and at first the tune is slow and deliberate, with a sort of illusionary imagery. Then it changes, he's now going from Station to Station and he reflects on how things used to be nice (once there were mountains on mountains etc.) but now are slow, then it changes again. Now he's found something to love, but there's just one problem, he reaches the next 'station', and he picks coke instead of whatever else it was. |

Awesome song, but I just don't see it as being escapism or the life of the girl. The first verse has little to do with the girl, she's just the inciting incident. To me, the song is about the movie, and that movie isn't life so much as it is the history of modern culture. The first verse is about the girl seeing her life as being like the movie, and that her life, much like history, repeats itself. The chorus is about world events, police violence and whatnot The second verse is about the film maker who also likens the movie to life and criticizes american imperialism and British decay as a world power. |
