| Wilco – You Never Know Lyrics

I could be way off but i get kind of a global warming feeling when i hear this song. Kind of like the analysts say its too late to stop it and its going cause a major flood, an end of the world type of thing. He saying "i don't care any more" just live i take the you never know part as against the analysts no one really knows whats going to happen global warming or not. like "every generation thinks their the worst thinks it's the end of the world" like weather it be nuclear destruction or world war 3 every generation thinks its the end of the world for different reasons you know? Ours would be global warming. "Super size it by 10" sounds like its a hit on America and our decadence. It may be sarcastic like maybe he's trying to say we should care. I'm not really sure just whenever i hear it i get a strong sense that it's about global warming, but hell what do i know. |

| Catch 22 – 1234 1234 Lyrics

To me this song is about living your own life and not spending all your time trying to prove things to other people. Like not trying to prove you belong with certain people or prove your "punk" or "metal" or whatever the case may be. "their never gunna give a shit about anybody but themselves" means they are never gunna truly accept you. I love the end. I know the song is pretty old now but i just found out about them now. That's what i think any way. |

I think i was at that concert too Diden! They played with Hootie & the Blowfish right? I remember when he said that. I really like the line "To go out walking in the sun, find out if you were the one." I think it's about, all his friends and lovers leaving him behind. Good shit man. |

| Counting Crows – Washington Square Lyrics

To me it's about going home. The man presumably Adam has acomplished alot in life visited a lot of different places, "I wandered the highways from Dublin to Berkeley." and just wants to go home again. I think jmw543 has a good point to me it is the Washington Square in New York because that is where i am from but it could be a different washington square depending on where your home is. Everybody loves coming home. |

| Counting Crows – Insignificant Lyrics

I agree with you coldpart. I really like the chorus "I don't want to feel so different but i don't want to be insignificant." I think it is about how he suffers from being so unique, he likes being the "one in a million" but there are also downsides he says he is "falling like Icarus" which i take to mean maybe he isn't happy with his life? or he's falling emotionally? The guy is a poet, he writes great lyrics. |

I don't quite understand the part about the Lincoln assasanation could some one help me?
I'm not completely sure what it is about some form of self examination i guess. "Because I am not anything." is a pretty powerful line. |

Like awkward/innocent this song gave me the chills the first time i heard, and the next time, and then the next time. It's one of my favorite closing songs of all time. I think it's really cool how the last words on the album are the words used in the title. I think it's about Justin overcoming his alchohol addicting as well as the girlfriend thing also. I read an article about it in Alternative Press. I think everyone can relate to this song, especially me. i love the honesty "The truth is i'll never get over it, but i'm gunna try." |

Don't jump all over me i havn't listened to the song but i searched "Dear God, Life is Hell" to see if anything came up because i like the quote. Its from the short story For Esme With Love and Squalor by JD Salinger, if you wanted to know. |

| MxPx – You Walk, I Run Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
I think it means that Mike is looking back on his life at a pretty old age, his 30's and he is critical of the life he's led. "Was i always running in place?" He doesn't know what he's doing any more.
"You walk i run" means that he is in a hurry all of a sudden to do something, or change something. |

| Motion City Soundtrack – Perfect Teeth Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
|
To start i think it goes "were they worth writing down" not "worthy" but whatever. To me the song is about not being what everyone expects you to be. "perfect teeth the way they are" to me means he never got braces, his teeth are crooked but he likes them that way. He doesn't want them to be perfectly straight. He remembers being happier in the past when he was a child maybe? I think a lot of the random words "muscle cars" ""plain white t's" "ck1" are personal memories of Justin. He is an average guy "working for the man and i'm drunk once again" means he just a 9-5 worker not what his family wanted him to be. He is happy though that is the point of this song. "Someday i fear i will be rescued from the boredom line" means he fears someday some one else will rescue him, help him get a better job and move up in society but he doesn't want to. He's happy being what no one else wants him to be. |

Reading you guys comments really helped me understand the song better, thanx :-). It is definitely a depressing song. I don't think there are any references to God in it like an earlier reviewer said. i like "this house is full of ears but I can't talk to any one" it makes sense. When I talk in a depressed way to my friends they stop listening. The way Alkaline Trio feels is easily related to and makes a lot of sense, to me any way. |

| The Ataris – If You Really Want to Hear About It Lyrics
| 18 years ago

I like this song. I LOVED The Catcher In Rye. By JD Salinger great stuff really. The refernces are obvious. The Song is kind oflike how the lead singer of The Ataris life is similar to Holden's. I think the use of the word 'grand' in "it'll be grand and just what you planned" is important because in the book Catcher Holden says he hates the word 'grand' it's avery phony word. I love it when a band writes an intellectual song.
PS: whenever some one spells great as "gr8" their comment should be ignored. |
