| Violent Femmes – He Likes Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| As I have said on "Good Friend", "From what I can tell, this has nothing to do with romantic relationships. This is about friendship." | |
| Violent Femmes – Good Friend Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| From what I can tell, this has nothing to do with romantic relationships. This is about friendship. | |
| Rush – BU2B Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Oh, yes. I believe you are spot on, Tristar. "Faithless" is incredibly dogmatic, just look at these lyrics. "Like a stone in the river against the floods of spring I will quietly resist." "You can call me faithless but I still cling to hope. And I believe in love and that's faith enough for me." |

| Violent Femmes – Mirror Mirror (I See a Damsel) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is about a man who has lives his life away from society. He might have lived in a closed society... it doesn't matter. This can be seen in that he has a very flexible opinion on aesthetics. Or, he was just taught that appearance wasn't true beauty. If this is true, he probably didn't watch TV or ever leave the house. In any case, he seems to want a more precise view on aesthetics. He is asking someone (the mirror on the wall) for their opinion. The idea of asking an objective view on something entirely subjective is too absurd to consider it literally. The mirror could be his parents, or someone else from his little world. It is more likely, however, that he is asking someone outside of his society. Another idea of mine is that he is a child, and just learned the word "pretty," and is asking his bathroom mirror after being read snow white. In this instance, asking an objective view on subjectivity makes sense when it comes to a someone without the concrete concept of either. “...humor me. Do they see what I see?” A question that makes sense in all points of view it may have been said. Obviously, the wording might be a little different in some cases. I might elaborate on this later, but I think this is fine for now. This might be my first interpretation that wasn't entirely obvious. If you have read previous posts of mine, I apologize. |

| This song is actually about anal masturbation. | |

| Although the meaning is very clear, I would like to take this opportunity to be the first to comment on this amazing song. | |

| Talking Heads – Mind Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
And that is the exact idea of the song. This guy has tried all of these things: Time (see if it all works out without doing anything) Money (bribing) Drugs (make them see the problem in a new perspective) Religion ("God won't like it if you do this!") Science ("You've stopped making sense.") And talking from the heart (probably what he should have started with) to change the mind of someone. But they won't give in to change their mind. It seems that each attempt he uses a better and better technique to change their mind. |

| Talking Heads – The Girls Want To Be With The Girls Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think it might be about both. ;) | |
| Talking Heads – People Like Us Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It might have something to do with Maslow's hierarchy of needs. We don't want freedom We don't want justice We just want someone to love. Someone to love. From bottom to top: self-actualization esteem social needs safety needs physiological needs You don't worry about self actualization (freedom and justice) if you are currently working on your social needs (someone to love). |

It's not: You don't get something for nothing You don't get freedom for free It's: You don't get something for nothing You can't have freedom for free |

skacore_dude is right. It's My name is blue canary one note spelled l-i-t-e not My name is blue canary one-word spelled l-i-t-e I think they said "one note" because the word is only one syllable. |

| Rush – Tom Sawyer Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
bmp.theused, This song is not about God. They do make references to the Bible every so often (Jacob's Ladder), but they also reference Greek gods and stuff. Everyone, this is actually not one of Rush's best songs. If you think it is, you have never heard any of their music from the 70s (2112, Something for Nothing, A Farewell to Kings, Cygnus X-1, Cygnus X-1 Book 2, Circumstances, By-Tor and the Snow Dog, et cetera). I don't blame you. All of the critics are retards and think Moving Pictures is RUSH's only good album. |

| I'm pretty sure that this song is not about the Cold War. | |
| Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
It's simple: A woman thinks that she can buy salvation. Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on: Heaven and Hell; always a chance for salvation and damnation no matter what kind of life you have led so far. Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind: Salvation lies in the word of God Jeeze... sorry if anyone thinks I copied them... but there are 72 pages of comments so I won't be reading them. |

| It reminds me of 2112: The Discovery because of how it starts out. Nature sounds... Although in 2112 it was more like a river and Natural Science was more like the sea. | |

Lurtz i agree with you. Does any one remember the two part series of South Park? Go God Go and Go God Go XII. In short Cartman froze himself and found the future of all atheists. They said things like ''In the name of science'' and ''Science help us''. The 3 atheist groups were at war, and you don't find out what the war is based on until the end. Their war, in which they were prepared to die for their beliefs, was what should atheists call themselves. United Atheist Legue, Allied Atheist Alliance etc. Its not the religion that makes people kill people its the people. There are sane and insane people in most religions ( ones that probably don't have sane people are Satanists ) |
