| Green Day – Brain Stew Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It's about meth, I'm pretty certain. Read my comment on the end of the 7th page, where I look at all the song lyrics. For starters, a crosstop is a meth pill. | |
| Green Day – Brain Stew Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure that this song is neither about cocaine use nor insomnia. It's about meth. I'm having trouble trying to sleep I'm counting sheep but running out (You're tweaked out? Good luck sleeping. Probably the most obvious side effect of meth.) As time ticks by And still I try No rest for crosstops in my mind (Crosstop is slang for speed in pill form) On my own... here we go My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed Dried up and bulging out my skull (Painfully dry eyes are a common side effect of meth use as well) My mouth is dry (So is dry mouth, as meth use makes you very reluctant to eat or drink) My face is numb (I will admit that a numb face is reminiscent of cocaine use, but that's the only parallel I can find) Fucked up and spun out in my room ("Spun out" is terminology referring to being high on meth, not cocaine.) On my own... here we go My mind is set on overdrive (Meth often can lead to racing thoughts) The clock is laughing in my face (Often, meth users can stay up more than 4 days at a time, to the point where they forget what time or even what day it is) A crooked spine (On a meth comedown, your joints are gonna kill you. Sometimes if feels like your spine's crooked.) My sense is dulled Passed the point of delirium (He's pretty much just out of it at this point.) On my own... here we go My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed Dried up and bulging out my skull My mouth is dry My face is numb Fucked up and spun out in my room On my own... here we go |

METH. It's about fuckin meth, kids. "Spun out", "fucked up", "my mouth is dry", "my face is numb"... How much more obvious could it get? METHAMPHETAMINES. =/ |

| Hollywood Undead – Scene For Dummies Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Actually, Ixia, to my best experience, LA gangs often identify themselves, or at least smaller chapters of themselves, by area codes to show pride in their territory. Colors are used of course too, the most notable example being Crips and Bloods as you stated. I didn't really think that the line in the song was any reference to gangs at all though. They were just naming off the LA area codes. -lived in two of them, actually- | |
| The White Stripes – Little Acorns Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| As an acorn, I find this song highly offensive. It is far too violent for young acornlings. | |
| Samwell – What What (In The Butt) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| It's a metaphor for the way the British government raped the "virgin" country of India. They bit hard, backed by both Muslim and Hindu extremists, but not too hard, because Britain tyranny remained. Many little fights, resulting in much bloodshed. India was indeed delicate like a flower. They were so done up the butt. | |
| Katy Perry – I Kissed a Girl Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I have some problems with this song, but on the whole, I like it. It defiantly advocates experimentation with sexuality. I like that way she so strong when she sings "and I liked it." To me, it's sort saying, "If you don't like that, then shove it." It's certainly a brave song, as undefined789 says. Though I did have problems. I think the song sort of portrays bisexuals as sluts. For one thing, the singer refers to the girl she kissed as her "experimental game," which is rather degrading. Romantic intimacy is a "game" to her, apparently. Also, she has a boyfriend and so is technically cheating on him. If the song were handled a bit differently, I think I would have liked it even better. There seems to be so few songs so openly advocating homosexuality, though, that I'll take what I can get. |

*agree with greatmuldini Typo demon... |
|
| A Perfect Circle – The Outsider Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I do believe with greatmuldini. That's how I've always understood the song. A suicidal person craving "fame and all its decadence"? As if they'll even be alive to experience it. "Why do you want to throw it away like this?" "What's your hurry? Everyone will have his day to die." Just typical statements of someone who doesn't understand the underlying psychology of suicide. | |
| Eric Clapton – Cocaine Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Why are people so damned stupid? Don't encourage people to fucking use drugs. It's not "stupid government propaganda." The shit will pull you in and wither your brain. Drugs are both psychologically AND physically addicting, so using them "in moderation" is much more easily said than done. I will admit that many anti-drug campaigns use scare tactics to get people not to try drugs. They exaggerate the dangers and thus generally lose credibility. You're not going to die from a hit of pot, seriously. I hardly even care whether people use pot or not. Look, my best friend is a hardcore drug addict, who is trying on and off to recover. Even though I was never an addict per say, it was tough for me to get off them, and I think about them a lot. You can abuse any product and die from it, sure, but I have yet to see someone die from doing something like chugging milk excessively. Don't pretend like the dangers are equivalent or even in the same ballpark. Watch someone convulse on the floor from a methamphetamine overdose, and I think you'll change your tune. |

| Andre Nickatina – Ayo For Yayo Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Fuuuck... This song makes me crave things I should definitely NOT be craving... It's been so fucking LONG! Just thought I'd express that publicly. >__> Though people, if you haven't started coke or even any drug yet, don't start. It's a nice trip, I won't lie, but it really isn't worth it. I can't stop wanting it... If you're already on it, then get off before it withers both your brain and your septum. |
|
| The Exies – What You Deserve Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I'm probably just stating the obvious, but... This is about the singer making a mistake and paying for it. It hurts even more to go through it, because there's no one else to blame. It's all his fault. When he says "you get what you deserve," he's talking about people in general, I think. Simple song, but I love it. |
|
| Stone Sour – Made of Scars Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Ah, he's made of the scars of past experiences. I don't think anyone can say with certainty whether or not he refers to self-mutilation or not. There aren't any distinct cues for or against it, in my mind, and I think it's ridiculous to bash Corey just because his song possibly implies cutting. Someone like me can relate to this, though. Not only do I have probably hundreds of physical scars, but I've been sent through the mill emotionally too. I'm made of my past experiences, and I am who I am, whether you like it or not. Props to Corey, if he is the one who wrote this, after all. |
|
| Jewel – Near You Always Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This is about a girl falling head over heels for a guy, despite her trying to resist it. She's afraid that she'll get hurt ("so be gentle if you please"), because she's in such a vulnerable position. Still, she loves this feeling, even as she's trying to resist it. I felt the same way with my girlfriend, actually. I was falling in love with her, but I'd been burned so badly in the past that I was reluctant to let go. I finally did, and it was absolutely magical. haha |

| Blue October – Hate Me Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is intense. Too intense for me. But well-written. Raw. Powerful. Props for Justin. |
|
| Soil – Breaking Me Down Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Like shamandown, I'd agree that this song is about being yourself. He has to be what the nightmare made him, meaning that his struggles have defined him. He's being what he sees. He's also trying very hard to change, but no one seems to see that ("too much is made of what's in me, not enough of how I strive"). They all want sudden, dramatic results, which are rather unrealistic. It's breaking him down, along with everything else, because the expectations are too damned high. He wants them all to "just let it go." | |
| Theory of a Deadman – So Happy (feat. Brent Smith) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Well, like everyone's saying, the singer is tired of his girlfriend treating him like shit, but I think there's more that can be taken from this song than that. The girlfriend seems to be an alcoholic ("put the bottle down"), and she has plenty of her own issues. Not only does she mistreat the singer, but she also leans on him for emotional support. She's very self-absorbed, too ("Ever wonder what I've been thinking about?). Everything is her and her problems. He's just tired of dealing with all. | |
| Crossfade – Colors Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| To me, this song is directed to a person who has hit a hard time in their life. However, instead of coping with these difficulties in a positive manner, they are shutting out everyone who wants to help them and becoming a bad type of person. The person is not inherently bad; they're simply changing for the worse, to the singer's dismay. | |
| KoЯn – Pretty Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"Poor Jon"? POOR LITTLE GIRL! -grumbles- It's these type of things that shatter my already dangerously low faith in humanity. How someone could do that is inconceivable. |
|
| KoЯn – Faget Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I adore this song, and I'd also like to say that I think Jon seems to be very comfortable with his sexuality. From everything I've heard, Jon is straight, but listening to this song, people could easily think that he's actually gay. He took that risk, because he doesn't give a shit what people think. He just wanted to get his point out into the open and blast superficial people and their stupid fucking stereotypes. | |
| Jeff Palmer – Faggot Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| What the hell is this shit? I'm assuming that this is mocking homosexuality, and even if it's not, this song is so painfully simple and childish. If it's mocking homosexuality, it's pretty pathetic that all they can come at it with is, "HAH He takes cock up the butt!" If they're not, then Jesus fucking Christ, can't they at least show one IOTA of class? Either way, I hate this song. | |
| Jewel – Daddy Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Mm, such anger. Delicious. As someone with daddy issues too, I can definitely relate. It seems like this father is always disapproving, but he has QUITE a few flaws of his own. The singer is blaming the way she turned out on her father. Eh, I don't know if it's so healthy to blame the way you turned out on your parents, but it's still a very intense, well-written song. | |
| Jewel – I'm Sensitive Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This is such a cute and innocent song. The singer is clinging desperately to the optimistic outlook and faith in humanity that comes in youth. She doesn't want to be hard, cold, and callous... She wants to retain innocence and sensitivity. Reminds me of when I was younger. Now I'm one of the mean, cynical ones she's speaking out against. This song makes me miss the old days, but you wouldn't catch me dead singing it. |
|
| Good Charlotte – Predictable Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I don't normally like Good Charlotte much, but I must say that I really like this song. And I can relate to it. It's basically about the singer always going back to a person who only hurts him each and every time, lies to him, treats him like dirt inevitably. He can see it coming, but he can't get himself to leave. It's left him cold and unreceptive to other relationships because he's afraid of getting hurt. My high school girlfriend would constantly demolish me, and, though I broke up with her even more than once, she always had a way of getting me back. I should've known each and every time that she'd only repeat old mistakes. It left me cold and distant with everyone else, even when I got out of the relationship for good, but now I'm luckily warming up, four years later. |
|
| Jewel – Foolish Games Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Crap, sometimes I feel like this song describes me. "Fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care." I know how to put on airs of empathy enough to not look like a complete monster, but for the most part, I really don't give a shit. And I wish I did. I tend to jerk my loved ones around, because they can never quite fully understand me and get to my innermost levels. I'm sure it's hurting them, but...well, maybe I do care deep down. | |
| Cobra Starship – The City Is At War Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Man, I live near Beverly Hills, and it's so perfect. It's about the ugly superficiality of the young and rich, from what I see, with their "designer drugs and designer friends." "Designer friends" implies that these people aren't really even friends, just people they have around for their reputation and popularity. The city's at war, meaning that there's so much crime and corruption around that it's nearly chaos. I also took that verse about the girl who was "alone in the world" to mean that she got into drugs and maybe even prostitution ("get her fix for free") and finally got her picture on TV, but for all the wrong reasons. I don't think it's encouraging people to do "bad things" as much as speaking against it. | |
| Buckcherry – Porno Star Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song is such an obvious attempt at being dirty. Yet...I love it. His voice is just so raw, masculine, and loud, the instrumentals powerful and raunchy (if instrumentals can, in fact, be raunchy). I'm not going to talk about the song's meaning because if you don't understand what these blatant lyrics are referring to, you really need to take a few sleeping pills and nap on a busy highway. Not that the lyrics are particularly skilled, but the song fucking rocks out loud. | |
| Zox – Fallen Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Shit, I'm the first to comment! I adore this song, so I'll take this as an honor. Well, this is (quite obviously) about a guy who feels like he's down on his luck and really doesn't see himself escaping this rut anytime soon ("half the winter still to go"). He's trying to pull himself up for this girl, I'd presume, but he's so lost in his depression that it's difficult for him to reach for something he doesn't see as in his grasp ("it gets so hard to see to the stars when you don't know where they are"). He wants to love this girl, but he is afraid of getting hurt. He knows that love necessarily entails taking risks, and this is a risk he should be taking, but he can't squash his fears. He admits that he needs her help, saying that he'll "disappear" if she leaves him "fallen". Maybe this is what he meant when he said, "Can't you see I'm waiting?" He was waiting for both the end of this difficult time and for her help. |

| Hed PE – Raise Hell Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Wow, pretty self-explanatory, yet again. But I agree with the song, because I'm sick of all this soft stuff. And the "emo" trend... Don't even get me started. haha I'm tired of about 99% of what the music industry comes out with being so fucking weak. Sometimes I just need angry music that stirs semi-homicidal impulses within me. Yeees... |
|
| Basshunter – I Can Walk On Water I Can Fly Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Damn, it's pretty self-explanatory. Just thought I'd voice my intense love for this song. The beat's pretty fun too. xD I'm currently fighting a benign brain tumor, so I relate to it deeply. Don't be afraid, don't give up, and keep on fighting until the very end. It's kind of my fight song when I just don't feel like fighting on any given day. |
|
| Crossfade – No Giving Up Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song basically just tells you that life is a fight, and no matter what, you can't give in. Shit will mess with you, just when you "were getting in the groove." There's always something new that will fuck with your program, new challenges to rise up and meet, but meeting those challenges is what brings growth and causes you to be a stronger person in the long run. I think he also speaks out against suicide, because he says "such a beautiful thing to throw away." Don't back out. Anything worthwhile is worth fighting for. On a personal level, I relate to this. In high school, I was getting abused at home, found out I had a brain tumor, and got broken up with by my girlfriend of two years all in the period of a few months. But I fought depression, and I'm still fighting. It was so very worth it, and I'm a happy person yet again. |
|
| Sick Puppies – All The Same Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is about pure acceptance, unconditional love. It's pretty much what anyone, especially someone with a checkered past, wants to hear from someone they care about. No matter what the person does, all that matters to the singer is their love and dedication to him. As far as I go, I'm currently in a relationship, and with a history of mental illness, suicide attempts, and drug abuse, my girlfriend had a lot to forgive in me. But she did, and I've come so far since the beginning. Really, just listening to this song, it gives me an intense feeling of peace and acceptance so great that it nearly moves me to tears. |
|
| Blue October – Calling You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Oh crap, I can relate to this song so immensely, and it's so sweet. I started an online relationship with a girl who lived across the States from me about two years ago. We were together for an entire year before we met, just calling each other on the phone constantly and thinking about each other all day. We considered this "our song." Well, the relationship worked out, and we live together now. Love can make you strong, make obstacles seem small, make you have those happy dreams, give you spirit and fight... Such a nice, warm, and fuzzy song. |
|
| Seether – Out Of My Way Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I love this song, so full of fight and aggression. I think that the theory that this is about Shaun's parents make a great deal of sense. It would make use of the term "son" all the more ironic. Unlike so much of the music out there, with the whole "emo" fad and whatnot, this song is about meeting problems head on and overcoming them, not sitting back and whining in self-pity. | |
| Seether – Pig Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I heard this song and actually got shivers. It is so relevant to the relationship that I'm currently in, and I hope that I don't end up having to leave, like 4saken did. If it's not evident enough, the song's pretty much about a guy who has just gotten burnt out trying to solve all of his girlfriend's problems and being relied on so heavily. He just wants to get away from it all, "throw it away," essentially. Right now, I'm having many of the same thoughts, as my girlfriend is quite emotionally needy. Also, to thebennieboi: I think you should step down and leave 4saken alone. He's simply tying in his own personal experiences with the song and attempting to show how he can relate to it, not immaturely bash his ex. I think he's well aware that Seether wrote this song, so you're kind of making a jackass out of yourself. |
