| John Frusciante – I Will Always Be Beat Down Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
on youtube theres a video of him explaining the song before he played it. its about this one time a spirit came to him and told him that there are two people in the world right now who can write music as well as John Lennon, and that both of them are fond of Mr. Frusciante. The spirit then told John that he knows and is good friends with him, and that his name also starts with the same letter as his own name. However, the other one, John doesnt personally know. It could be you, someone in Arkansas or someone in Mongolia. He wrote the song for those two people in the world, especially that person he doesnt know. |

| The Offspring – Dirty Magic Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Its about conflicting perspectives of a relationship. Its about when you think you have a good thing going with a girl (in my personal case), but she only calls you at night for the hook-up ("she says come over right away"). Sure, you keep telling yourself that its special and you mean something to her, but youre just being used and you know it ("but shes just not that way"). You never would have thought such a cute and apparently innocent girl would have such messed up ideas ("her little soul is stolen"). now, allow me to make it personal on the chorus. this girl i was with would tell me about how she used to have this depression/cutting problem. when i realized i was just being used like this and that she would rather spend her saturday nights with other guys, i honestly stopped seeing her as a victim of her depression and self-deprecating manner. i thought she was just feeling sorry for herself. i think theres some sarcasm in what dex is saying here in the chorus. "pull the shades, razor blades, youre so tragic" is like saying 'yeah, you would get all sad when you tell me im not good enough'. the second part of the chorus is about the guy being overwhelmed and then apathetic to the reality of the problem. like missneurotic said, a love/hate thing. the second verse is just bitter. the guy tries to level with the girl on an emotional level, and she laughs in his face. from that point on, whenever he thinks of her, he just gets embarassed and tries not to think about how much of a sucker he was. WOW! thanks for letting me vent right there! |

| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Soul to Squeeze Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| its about thinking and dwelling on a love of some sort. when youre downright infatuated with someone, you tend to think a lot about what comes next. you think so much it burns a hole through your head. but in the end, you just dont know whats going to happen. theres probably going to be some good and some bad, but you just have to ride it out and see where it takes you. | |

| John Frusciante – Time Runs Out Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| its one of those "you may have dumped me, but i win out in the end" songs. the sleep may have something to do with the clouded mindset you feel like youre in when you look back on a bad relationship. | |
| John Frusciante – Time Tonight Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| its about being alone. being without a partner can be one of the saddest things to go through. thinking about being alone ends up consuming lots of time, some of it during the night. think of the emphasis on "why is there no one in my life?" | |
