| Audioslave – Set It Off Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Having a biblical reference does not necessary imply a religious one. It is a story like any other in a way isn't it? Albeit a very popular and controversial one. I think the song is supposed to be more vague. But in general it kinda shouts Revolution to me. And although things today I think are much better then the past they are in now way perfect. So vive la revolution!!! | |
| Fall Out Boy – Sugar, We're Goin Down Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| there is so many pages so no one will probably read this but wat the heck. It is weird that he says mausoleum lol but it probably means something to someone or maybe they just though up something random. But ya I think this song is about how he is jealous that this girl he was with not long obviously since he is just a notch in her bed post. And it's about lust for this girl. And loaded god complex is probably what the guy or guys she has been with lately have been like. He did say he's been dying to tell her anything she wants to hear he seems pretty desperate to get with her but at the same time he despises her it's probably mostly about lust and jealousy. | |

I agree that the part about addict with no heroin seems to be used as a metaphor not literally. And I also agree that the song does have a strong feeling of depression, anxiety and dread. But other than that I think the song is really up to interpretation. To me it's about someone who is miserable and trapped, unable to connect with those around him. Surrounded by negative emotions. Too much! And the burn my knees part I never understood. Watching the video the parts about the boy, face dead on the beach with knee braces unable to get up really seemed to be a metaphor for the guy's childhood self. Who was somehow crippled emotionally which is shown by the knee braces. He is unable to get up. He keeps screaming to get up. Won't you stop my pain. He is trapped in misery, hopelessness "everything is clearly dying". People around him he is convinced have "distorted eyes" and can't see how terrible and hopeless and cruel it all is. In the video he is sitting on the couch at a party and someone has put a glass over a moth to trap it. He is watching the moth and he looks around at people having a good time. He feels trapped because he is unable to connect socially. He thinks of a bird trapped trying to fly out and he is able to relate more easily to it then the moth but through it all he still relates to that moth trapped so he frees it in sympathy and feeling he understands being trapped. A woman is sad and looking at him. And its like he can feel her pain and it is too much. He drowns alone in his misery. But really he is just alone in the room on the bed. He stands alone at the window of his apartment and there is only rain falling over his window. Because inside his emotional cage it is raining and misery but outside it isn't. At the end of the video he is on the train and his eyes seem vacant and like he is somewhere else and kind of numb. He is not in pain.. so much as before. He sees person in the seat near him and he looks sort of strange. And then you see that he is going through the same miserable thing but he is too lost in his own problems to see it. |

| Radiohead – Last Flowers Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| oh I forgot to mention that the Appliances have gone beserk, I can not keep up, and too much too bright too powerful is all to do with the person being so unwell and depressed that everything is too much to take. Too bright and too powerful more specifically though the meaning of that, I really can't say, but to me I think of just it being everything at once is too much too bright and too powerful and nothing really all that specific but that sounds weird to most of you probably. | |

Okay how do I explain? Assuming I am the person singing the song. I'm sick and broken down and insane "houses move and houses speak". And, in the song, I'm like talking to someone who loves me and has been trying to care for me but who is suffering because of how bad I am. And they have no way of offering me "escape". And if you take me to the hospital you will get relief and you won't have to be burdened by me. That is what it means to me. It is very sad and sorrowful. I only listen to it when I am very sad. usually. Also does anyone know who actually made the instrumental song Last Flowers? Because is it is an Amazing song and so eerie and I am very curious. |
