Horse the Band – Bunnies Lyrics 17 years ago
Yeah the person who said he talked to nathan and he told him it was about absolutely nothing is correct. I met the guys one and actually watched that movie The Reaping in a free prescreening with the band and Nathan sat right next to me, funny bastard too. The band was supposed to speak before the movie and thank everyone for coming out and Nathan made my boy go up in his place and I drew a moustache on him like Nathan's, PRICELESS look on Erics face when he realized it wasn't Nathan haha. but ANYWAYS back on topic, we were talkign about the music, and he was telling us about Birdo and Cutsmans secret meanings, and one of my friends reply, oh so bunnies has some secret meaning too right? Nathan says, yeah it does, I just want to kick some bunnies! haha he straight up then said no, it means absolutely nothing, nothing at all, I just wanted to have fun.

The Raconteurs – Many Shades of Black Lyrics 17 years ago
I always heard wasted leap year, i think he was just trying to be clever, and in a way make it seem like even longer than a usual year. But yeah, I heard leap year from day one, and am listening now and still did haha, could be wrong though, wouldn't be the first time

Brendan Benson – Me Just Purely Lyrics 17 years ago
I think it is more or less him actually talking about his commitment to music, and he is saying that some day he'll come back but right now, he wants to prove himself as a musician and not a failure. And when things turn around and he makes it he can go home.

Brendan Benson – Folk Singer Lyrics 17 years ago
You are entirely wrong, wow, he is just talking about life... he is just a basic guy and isn't really doing much with life and his girl hates it. the part about the chains is how he feels restrained and she is trying to get him to conform and quit writing music and do something real with his life like getting a real job and giving up on music. That is basically the jist of things

Clutch – The Regulator Lyrics 18 years ago
I have no idea what the hell jennoftheworld is thinking..

The song is kind of about death in many different ways... it is very deep.
Now, he knows his time is near is he doesn't care about money or wealth... He just wants peace and to be able to go to heaven when he passes on... It is all he wants... And there are so many times where he feels like giving in to the dark desires and get lost along the way, but he stays true to himself in hopes of making it to heaven... Although he is afraid of death, and doesn't want it to come, he knows it is inevitable and can feel it coming

I could be wrong, but that is what it sounds like to me

The White Stripes – Truth Doesn't Make A Noise Lyrics 18 years ago
little known fact: the girl who inspired the song in a way is Carrie... true fact.
From the Steven King movie, the little psychic girl... She had a strong heart and took in so much, and no one really cared for her. And Jack is kinda in a way saying he did feel for her, and if hemet her in real life would have defended her.



My baby's got a heart of stone (she has a strong heart and has a lot to deal with)
Can't you people just leave her alone
She's never done nothing to hurt you
So just leave her alone (self explanatory)

The motion of her tiny hands
And the quiver of her bones below
All signs of a girl alone
Will tell you everything you need to know (that is all self explanatory too... she isn't sick, she is just a small girl, and girls, stereotypically, are tiny, and weak, and her bones are quivering because she is scared and becoming weak)

I can't explain it, i feel it often
Every time I see her face
But the way you treat her
Fills me with rage
And I wanna tear apart the place (self explanatory again, he hates that she gets treated that way for NO REASON)

You try to tell her what to do
And all she does is stare at you
The stare is louder than your voice
Because truth doesn't make a noise (No matter what they say, she doesn't have to say anything, because you can see how she feels just by looking at her face... Because well, truth doesn't make a noise... it doesn't have to, you know the truth without having to hear it)
No, truth doesn't make a noise
Truth doesn't make a noise




Does that all make sense? it is a pretty self explanatory song, the Carrie thing when i read it in an interview was kind of a surprise to me, but all made sense.

The White Stripes – Little Bird Lyrics 18 years ago
Actually Shameless is right... but he DID say the song was about St. Francis, i think only in a sense though. I think St. Francis's practice was inspiration to the idea.


I got a little bird (bird being slang for a girl) i want to take her home, put her in a cage (lock her up) and disconnect the phone (so she can't get to it)

if you give me a look
i'm gonna get the book
i'm gonna preach the word
i wanna preach to birds (Don't try anything because she is not going to like what happens, and he'll teach her a lesson)
as i walk the floor
yeah this i know



when i get you home
this is how it goes
i got nothing to lose
i'll never let you go (that is what will happen, i have nothing to lose except you and i'm not going to lose it)




Now with that being said, i really think the St. Francis thing was because he was someone who preached to birds, and the song is LOOSELY about him, because he had nothing to lose so he spent all his days with locked up birds and preaching it. It is just a different take on his idea. Make sense?

The White Stripes – Every Highway That I Go Down Lyrics 18 years ago
um... the song was recorded but only live and was the earliest version of Little Cream Soda which appeared on Icky Thump. I'm pretty sure it was first played live around the Get Behind Me Satan era...

The song is basically just kinda an insight into his mind i suppose. I see it as kind of like the price of fame and where his life is headed now. He misses only having to care about the simplest things in life and living with no worries. Now he is having all types of complications and it gets to a point where he is just confused... Every highway seems longer, everyone he meets seems to want something, and he is always on the road, sometimes having no idea where he is or where he will be going.
