| Shai Hulud – Solely Concentrating on the Negative Aspects of Life Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I think some of the members of Hulud are Straight Edge, and this song seems to be about that. This line certainly sounds like a SxE thing to me: "As we embrace righteousness, we embrace life Purified, united, set aside from the majority." |

| Ted Leo and the Pharmacists – Me and Mia Lyrics | 18 years ago |

"It's not a "pat you on the back and tell you how to live your life" song. It's just a look in the eye, and if we connect - if you know that look - then perhaps we have understood each other. Yes, I have my wishes for you all and for myself, but they are never commands... and I will leave that at that. I am going to say, however, that if you truly believe that "you can never be too rich or too thin," then you are missing the point. In no way, shape, or form, do I support the seemingly eternal materialistic trend toward the Paris Hiltonization of life. In my experience, the issue is not an attempt to be a part of that world - that world is not the answer, and the "never too rich or too thin" ideology is in EXACT opposition to the vision of a life that I have been trying to imagine for my entire life as one who imagines. Honestly? This whole thing brings me to tears. But not for me or my dumb-ass song - only because I do know how hard you try. As platitudinous as this all sounds, it's hard out there, and you gotta do what you gotta do. But if I could ask one thing of ANYBODY, it would just be to treat yourself right while you're doin' it. WE'RE better when we have you around." -Off of Tedleo.com Just thought it was interesting. |
