| Now that I think about it, the oppressor could be anyone, or EVERYONE. It does say "WE see you smile"... | |
| Soundgarden – Head Down Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Lepras Messias has it down pretty good. There's discipline, and then there's just plain anger. The parent has been broken by lifes experiences and is forcing the child to life a life of uniformity. Go to work, come home, repeat. The last line is really what ties it all together: "Head high like a song you like" "Head down" is mentioned alot, but "Head high" is only mentioned twice, once of "a song you like, and once of the need to smile (be positive). In my life, music is an upbuilding thing, and it gets me through troubles, but "a song you like" might be you finding comfort in whatever you like. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Where Boys Fear to Tread Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I definitely agree with everyone that said it's about teenagers, the unexperienced candy canes that walk down to build a bonfire and have some fun. I always got the vibe that this was about youths in a dangerous land. Like a fairy tale where the kids sneak out after night and get lost in a land of horseflies. | |

This was the song that made me fall in love with the pumpkins. The way I first saw it, I thought it was about a guy who sneaks into his ex's house and kills her for breaking up with him, but I'm starting to think that it's about masturbation. Mainly because of that Spaceboy snippet (it sure as hell doesn't have anything to do with Spaceboy). What's "underneath his bed" is either porno or a gun. I think "bang bang, you're dead - hole in your head" is after he has completed the act, and this is how he feels: completely drained. I'm going to be honest with you: I see sex in a lot of songs. But whether this meaning is right or wrong, this song has SOMETHING to do with a woman... |

This song does sound like "All my Life" because of the vocals. "Bloodshot, stare like a hoodlum" "Done, done, on with the next one" |
