Hall and Oates – Kiss On My List Lyrics 12 years ago
He's ashamed of her, and he doesn't want to admit he really likes her a lot, because his friends insult her(probably for good reason). He thinks she will dump him anyway, so he plays it off like he only likes kissing her, nothing more. The thing is, if he's ashamed of her, then he's no good for her anyway, because she wasn't worth fighting for. She deserves better.

Pearl Jam – Yellow Ledbetter Lyrics 13 years ago
I think the song was written by a ghost of a father. His children stand on the porch, but he doesn't want to stay(even if he could), because it's too painful for him there. Reminds me of the song "Black", for the same reasons, but I suppose it was written to fit each life differently.

Creed – Say I Lyrics 15 years ago
He's saying "say I" because he believes in the Law of One, where there is supposed to be only one person here but living different lives all ages all over the world. It's a flawed theory, the whole album was great but flawed theories streaming through it. I gues we're all flawed.

Green Day – See the Light Lyrics 15 years ago
He's talking about losing hope when you no longer have the illusion of a prize ahead of you, particularly in Christian and Gloria's case, because their original drive was a prize that never existed(promised by the "liars" he despises now and seeks to destroy). It's a beautiful rendition of a very real point of view, of anyone once bound in religious brainwashing. He still believes there's hope, he just wants a glimpse of it. Brilliant song.

Green Day – 21 Guns Lyrics 15 years ago
It's funny because it seems every line in this song is taken from another song, indicating a depressing pattern of cliches - a typical way to break morale - topping it off with "give up the fight".

Green Day – Viva la Gloria! Lyrics 15 years ago
It's a warning for her to stay put, or she'll end up in the gutter. He's giving her a picture of what is planned for her "by negatives", but really it's just him afraid of the ramifications should she continue the path she's on. This guy is apparently a control freak with no faith in her. No wonder she's running.

Green Day – Christian's Inferno Lyrics 15 years ago
It's about someone "rejected" by the church due to "evil deeds"(that usually turn out to be imaginary evil due to the insane 'moral code' they preach) who decides to go renegade, because the "demons" attatched to the name he clings to are harassing him and trying to convince him he's "the chosen one", which, if he follows through with their intent, will end up killing him. The only "end" being his own demise.

Green Day – Before the Lobotomy Lyrics 15 years ago

He's a truth seeker and beacon, it's the only thing that brings him peace.

Tears for Fears – Mad World Lyrics 15 years ago
"Children waiting for the date they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher, tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me"

The children's birthday part is directly above the disappointment in school because you're made to feel special - the celebration of the day of your birth gives the illusion that you're special - then you go to school - only to find out you're just another number. And it goes on and on in circles like this, every lifetime. Lies, and the the disappointment of the truth.

Madness.

Queensrÿche – I Am I Lyrics 15 years ago
The last part of the song sounds like a warped interpretation of how God views us.
One of God's names in the Bible is "I Am" -but-
totally inaccurate view of how he sees us.

Someone who THINKS they are God may be this way...

Clearly, this guy is full of himself and thinks everyone wants, needs, to know more about him.

Maybe it's everyone's vanity side.

Weezer – Say It Ain't So Lyrics 15 years ago
"It's such a complicated story, way too complex to write a song about. I should never have done it. I was really afraid of alcohol at the time. I didn't drink till I was 21, not even a sip. I was petrified of alcohol. "Say it ain't So" was about when I was 16. I opened up the refrigerator and I saw a can of beer. All of a sudden I made the connection that my step-father was leaving...because my father started drinking when he left my mother."

Queen – Great King Rat Lyrics 16 years ago
Pippin the Mercury...when Freddie says, "don't believe everything you read in the Bible", no truer words have ever been written about the Bible...why? Because it was written by men and men are not perfect. God's "words" can be found inside everyone, if you look hard enough, not just words in a book.

If you are a Bible reader("offended christian"), do you not remember when God told Moses not to use cutting tools on the altar for God? Why? Because it was to be known as "God's Alter" and anything known as God's cannot be touched by man's tools...that includes writing tools. People who LIE and title the Bible "God's Word" are insulting God's perfection.

The reason preachers and religious leaders brainwash their followers to believe God's word is whatever particular version of canon(insert any religion's handbook) is so their rules aren't questioned...it's a control tactic that's been used dating back to the era of the first recorded language. Look it up.

Freddie obviously believes there is a God at this point in his life, but is unsure what to believe. Fortunately, he knows enough not to believe EVERYTHING he reads...you live, you learn...research helps.

Faith=ignorance+laziness

"Don't listen to what mama says" is probably because "moma" is still clinging to what her pastor tells her...like a good little sheep...

Truth hurts,"in the beginning"(Genesis 1:1), until you can "put away childish things"(1 Corinthians 13:11)...like old "Jewish myths"(Titus 1:14)...unless you ENJOY being made a spectacle of(1 Corinthians 4:9).

That's what Freddie meant when he wrote "Or else you'll find yourself, bein' a rival".

Like everyone who looks as though they might be successful one day, Fred was made to "play the fool"...

Glad he got past that stage in his life and shunned the manipulators...seeing them for who they are..."Liars".

This song is best interpreted in the context of all of his songs.

Queen – Somebody To Love Lyrics 16 years ago
This song expresses his own frustrations as well as other people he views around him. He does this in a lot of his songs...to distance himself, somewhat, and pretend he's talking about "that guy over there...", not solely himself. That's what makes his songs genius and timeless...they can relate to anyone.

No. Practically everyone except people from the East Coast call them "tennis shoes", not sneakers.

i fell in love with the sea

"Revelation", try telling a person with a terminal illness or someone with a painfully debilitating condition to "just use will power".

Anyway, his views on the drug he's talking about are narrow...some people actually benefit. Pharmaceutical companies aren't out to get everybody...

Very often, people who abuse drugs become paranoid and begin pointing blame, of course, the drug companies will be top on their list.

Mazzy Star – Fade Into You Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is about a girl he's been in love with for a long time. He doubts she never knew but he says it politely "I think it's strange you never knew".
Also, he sees her turning into someone he knows she's not, yet, he still sees the true her. He's afraid she's losing sight of herself, he says "you'll go blind" meaning she'll forget who she is. "Fade into you" is him wanting her true self to return.
