Blonde Redhead – For The Damaged Lyrics 17 years ago
I agree completely with the above. The music is timeless. One of the measures of classic art or literature is its ability to speak to you at different times, and say different things each time it "speaks".

Blonde Redhead – Doll Is Mine Lyrics 17 years ago
Taxidermy, literally, moving skin. "I must have seen...too much skin. Much more, than I needed to..."

It’s funny how some things do remain
It isn’t true that things do change
Isn’t it strange how pain remains
But don’t look sad cause it isn’t sad
Now that I have you to myself

Though the flesh is preserved, he still feels pain for the loss.

Blonde Redhead – Doll Is Mine Lyrics 17 years ago
Are you all hearing the music? It is so demented, so lost, so completely manic. There are two readings, in my opinion:

1. Our narrator, well, his "act of love" is taxidermy. IE preserving a lover or possibly even someone that never requited his love. There is a famous poem that describes an old woman who lies beside her dead husbands' remains, and in the poem, such a fact is implied by description of one side of the bed being sunken. "And mine is to sink by your side."

2. Our narrator's love has passed, or an unrequited lover, but he has fitted a doll in their likeness that he devotes the same affection to. The doll's expression never changes from amusement, "You are to be amused, and never to be confused". Our narrator has his sanity questioned by those he encounters, but he's fine, because his doll is "faith and fully mine".

King Crimson – I Talk To The Wind Lyrics 17 years ago
all of you are missing the central reference, and only some of you are actually touching on the theme:

Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been
I've been here and I've been there
And I've been in between.

Job 1:7
And the Lord said unto Satan
"Whence comest thou?"
Then Satan answered the Lord and said
"From going to and fro in the earth and from walking up and down in it..."

It should be obvious. King Crimson. "You don't impress me, don't possess me."

YOU are the wind. The chaff.

Blonde Redhead – Messenger Lyrics 17 years ago
i don't know what's weirder,

the fact that a substantial amount of people think Blonde Redhead are describing or were victims of some MK Ultra mind control program

or

the fact that the lyrics and song titles don't exactly detract

"equally damaged", "for the damaged", etc

Crystal Castles – Courtship Dating Lyrics 17 years ago
are these lyrics official???
"how do i feel for thee?" instead of "how good it..."

i hear "heaven should interfere" instead of "im suppose..."

Queens of the Stone Age – River In the Road Lyrics 17 years ago
1. someone is coming to do the narrator's family harm...burn their home, kill them, etc. the only way to save his family is to delay the approach, so the narrator delivers these lines before he goes to meet his death. he tells his wife to not let the children look back as they flee...they will see him killed (hanged presumably),

his blood forming a river in the road.

i cant help but think of this being narrated by a black man in the south as a mob/the kkk approaches. that or jews during the holocaust.

Muse – Map of the Problematique Lyrics 18 years ago
i know it's impossible but i swear i heard this song or something eerily similar when i watched the towers collapse on CNN...maybe there's a common musical element in CNNs music themes from those days or something, but i just got sick when i first heard this song...reminds me of that morning so much...

the lyrics seems so relevant too...

Fear, and panic in the air
I want to be free
from desolation and despair
and I feel like everything I saw
is being swept away

^if that doesnt speak to the American consciousness that Tuesday, i don't know what does
